Yeah me to. I had no desire to play it because it seemed like a meme game like Overwatch and Borderlands. It took a friend buying it for me and then several others pestering me until I finally sat down and gave it a real chance.

There should be no reason to go PAST first impressions. If someone walks up to you, sticks their hand up their ass and tries to shake your hand with your shit covered hand, you shouldn't need to know more than that to not associate with said person.

If you expect it to be complete shit, as per the OP's wording, then it stands to reason you hate the game because reason. It could be because its from Japan, it doesn't match a genre you like a or a myriad of other reasons. If your autism is triggering that much, pretend I said "why would you play something you expect to be complete shit" then.

Just install Misery 1.1 with MSO (2.1 and up added bullshit no human being asked for) and don't forget to apply the fixes as well. There, you good to go, enjoy CoP.

>>
Alpha protocol. Not that I expected it to be total shit, but I was weary of its bad reputation. Turned out it was amazing hardcore RPG with your choices actually mattering.
Assassin's creed. I pretty much only wanted to use it as a benchmark because at the time it looked really good. Really liked the atmosphere and story showed promise.
The Last Remnant. Installed on a whim, thought it will probably be another dumb generic JRPG. Became one of my favorite games ever.
Darksiders. Al I knew about it was that it kinda ripped off Zelda, turned out to be better than any actual Zelda game I've played.
Zanzarah. That sure sounded gay as fuck when my friend gave me the disk: playing as a girl, catching fairies trying to save some gnomes. Turned out to be everything Pokemon series always failed to deliver.
Punisher. I was expecting a typical licensed property game, some shitty shooter or something, but it was really fun.

At the moment, I haven't even found the first boss, and still using the starting weapon of the Warrior? Whichever one has the red armor, spent WAY too long just trying to figure out where the fuck the first path forward is.

All I know for certain is that the fat cyclopes have some of the shittiest grab hitboxes in the universe and that the NPC vendor at the 2nd Bonfire I found is selling TWO key items I need for progression.

You lose 5% of your max HP every time you die up to 50%(there's a ring that halves this effect). You can use human effigy to restore humanity and get back max HP.
>>
>>343558126
repetitive
>>
>>343558129
So, when you die, you revert back to undead when you spawn at the last bonfire rested at. Every time you die, and DON'T REVERT TO HUMAN, your max hp keeps going down. You can use a human effigy to revert back to human, which puts your max hp back to full. Also, you can't use summon signs without being human.
