If someone were to jump in now I'd say got for FC4 as it's the one that has refined the formula the most, plus there's all the 'fire a gun from astride a mighty elephant' bits. 

That sounds fun.

Those cut scenes where you have to bash buttons at the right time in order to complete a set of cool looking things that you actually can't do in gameplay are the work of the devil.

I do not disagree, but I still enjoyed them.

Apart from Lara's wispy mumblings about the laatest shiny pebble she's collected.

I liked fc3 more than 4

I thought 2 was shit.

FC2 was full of great ideas but bogged down in dull gameplay, heavy storyline and too much time spent pulling bullets out of your arm/fixing your car again

FC3 refined the best ideas and added a lot of fun. 

FC4 refined that further but didn't bring anything new. 

To anyone new I would assume #4 is the best starting point, but it felt less good if you'd already played #3 because it didn't really do anything new.

Eh? The gyrocopter (lobbing molotovs from above never gets old)

I really like the bushcraft and animal related elements of primal. Taming your first white tiger is a rush!

The malaria from fc2 is the worst game mechanic of all time. You might as well have a character with a weak bladder and keep having to find pubic toilets so he doesn't wet himself.
