>Games you had a false-start with, but then later really got into.
>(gif abstractly related)

For me it was the Hitman series. Picked up Bloodmoney for cheap back in 2011 - thought it was boring and shit. Later replayed out of boredom and really got into it. Now the whole series is one of my favorites even enjoyed Absolution (for what it was).

Dark Souls is a common one

>>321495894
I understand why. I love Dark Souls now. And I know Im gonna get shit for this but I needed to watch a couple lore videos before replaying it and falling in love with it.

I hated Bravely Default, had buyer's remorse for a long time until I got the Monk class

This game is underrated

funny enough all the (real) silent hill games except 1 did that to me

they turned out to be really good after the initial drop and retry

B-but you get the Monk class like an hour into the game. What the fuck, anon?
>>
>>321498504
It's been a little while since I played, but isn't Monk the first class (along with White Mage) that you get?

Final Fantasy XII

The first time I played it I found it pretty dull and dropped it around the Henne Mines. I started a new game like two years later and got completely into it, to the point where it's one of my favourite games in the series.

What is gif from

On topic, Dark Souls for me primarily. It took several restarts before it really clicked. Also Monster Hunter. After a few missteps with MHFU and MH3, my MH4U file has over 300 hours on it.

>>321496157
i started off in demon souls trying to be a spell caster and that homing magic was boring as fuck. My next try i went melee and was way more fun

>>321500030

I booted up Monster Hunter Freedom 1 for the first time, looked around town for a while, killed one Aptonoth and quit the game.

About a year later I was bored and tried again.

I've got about 650 hours in MH games.
>>
Chrono trigger believe it or not. Died before I figured out how to save, didn't play it again for a couple of years
>>
Killzone.
Hated the first game for a long time.
Started it again last year and actually had fun with it, eventually played the rest.
It's one of my favourite FPS series even if the story is crap.
>>
>>321500456
Bet you had a blast coming back to it though
>>
Deus Ex.

To be completely fair, there have been a lot of occasions where I've wanted to replay it only to get turned off to the idea when I realize I'll have to do the boring statue of liberty and hell's kitchen segments again.
>>
>>321500710
gameplay is shit though

>>321495721
Dead space. Stopped playing it a two hours in. I picked it up a few years ago again and it's my favourite game ever since.

do you like RPG's?
is the first thing you think of when you hear the RPG genre, options and influencing the world through certain builds and choices, instead of basic stats and self insert characters?
if you said yes to both then do yourself a favor and play push through the rough sections. make sure to grabs wesps unofficial official patch.

Liberty Island is way more fun on later playthroughs though because you can goof around way more, especially if you go for runs where you kill everyone you see. The real slog is the Paris catacombs.
>>
>>321495721
Shadow of the Colossus. Bought it after hearing the hype, but the controls and camera just felt so fucking bad to me that I put it down for a good while before I even beat the first Colossus. Picked it up again a few weeks later and it's still one of my favorite games.

The Final Fantasy series as a whole for me. Started with VII, didn't like the combat. Then I tried IV and the spin offs and got hooked. Why the fuck are the spin offs better than the main games?
