It is not necessary; you are not going to be missing out on much and will be able to follow along the story just fine, most of what you 'need to know' will be explained through exposition and cutscenes over the first few chapters, but each game is more or less its own defined storyline, with just some minor character development and references that carry over from the prior ones.”
