It’s a weird game, you can tell they had to make a lot of cuts before they pushed the game out. It’s a flawed but ambitious gem that really shines when you sink your teeth in. It’s an experience you’ll be hard pressed to find elsewhere.I need to play Dragon Dogma
I had the same feeling, but I haven’t tried the sequel again. It was weird being above the clouds instead of down below. It just felt weird cause I wanted the large underground Metroid style bosses. It was like the game had too much light to it.Axiom Verge 2. Loved the first one and didn't like the second one at all. Came back to it after a year and it's quite a good game. Sure not as good as the first one but the lore and some sections were great.
Same here. I gave TW2 on PC an hour and it didn’t capture me. completed the Baron quest in TW3 on PC and parked it. Came back to it on XSX last winter and enjoyed it so much. Helps to have quick resume and the 4K 60fps. Anything with a fair amount of death and systems and I really need to have a lot of focused time to wrap myself around what I’m doing.The Witcher 3. the combat put me off for years, then i persevered and i loved the game, i didnt play it until 2020.
I only played NMS at launch. Got the platinum and loved it.No Mans Sky
Cyberpunk
Gaf was so hyper obsessive with both these games, acting like they were the second coming of christ. It put me off and i thought they both looked like shit and were going to be terrible. Technically I was right...for the launches, but Ended up LOVING both after they were patched (Didnt play no mans until like 2 years after launch)
Well you convinced me lolIt’s a weird game, you can tell they had to make a lot of cuts before they pushed the game out. It’s a flawed but ambitious gem that really shines when you sink your teeth in. It’s an experience you’ll be hard pressed to find elsewhere.
Want to set yourself on fire, then grab an enemy so they can share in the experience of immolation? You can do that. Want to climb on the back of a griffon with a morbidly obese character to weigh it down so it can’t fly away properly because the game actually accounts for character creation stuff like your character size? You can do that. Want to throw your pawns into the brine and kill them, because they won’t shut the fuck up? You can do that.
Dragon’s Dogma has so many half-baked systems and insanity, and it’s just a joy to screw around with. Fighting big monsters and being able to climb them Shadow of the Colossus style adds so much depth to combat. If you’ve ever wanted to experience making your own Legolas and just climbing shit, slashing a chimera’s goat head to shreds or firing a charged arrow into a cyclops eye to one-hit-kill it, this game is it. Can’t wait for the sequel.
As a fellow Trails enjoyer, you will likely find ways to break the game mechanics to your benefit, it’s good stuff.Well you convinced me lol
Exactly the same for me. I was going to say exactly what you said. I remember being really happy when I did return to the game and progressed further than my initial time with the game. From that point on I was hooked and I felt like I understood the game so much better.Demon's Souls. Imported the asia version, played until the first boss, got smacked a few times and dropped it for months. Returned to it with a different mindset and platinumed it.
The Last Of Us Part II
Went into this game seething with the leaks and I desperately wanted the game to be a disaster to rub in the face of Druckmann who in my eyes had ruined the series I adored.
Little did I know I'd walk away from this game having had one of the greatest and most emotional experiences I'd ever had in my time gaming and this game remains one of my all-time favourites, partly because of those ballsy decisions that Druckmann took with the story.
Have you played Zombi U. I dislike pretty much everything Ubisoft, but this game was really good.Currently super hyped for the sequel and the ONLY Ubisoft game I actually liked.

It's Monster Hunter tier combat, but set within a single player open world. Yes, it's worth playing if you like action games. Has some of the best magic classes in an RPG, and the bow and arrow classes are also incredibly fun to use.Well you convinced me lol
This is the only game I changed my opinion about, but that's a different story, cus they rebooted the whole thing.FFXIV. been dissapointed with FF for years especially at how dissapointed FF13 and 15 is. that time really doubt square could make decent rpg with modern standard anymore. hear great praise for the game and yet that time i really against of acknowledging 14 as mainline title. my argument that it is a mmo, not single player game while at same time expecting it merely a mmo with FF skin + tons of typical MMO grinding. later hear tons of praise of Heavensward and get curious to see what the fuss is all about and whether it live to its praise. finally try the game with low expectation. turn out it is nothing like im expected and i never been glad to be proven wrong. if anything im regret at, is not to play sooner.
hopefully same guys behind the expansion can pull of similliar feat with XVI and prove lot more people wrong.
Wait now that I am thinking about. It's not even the same game, it's litterally a whole new game tho!!!FFXIV. been dissapointed with FF for years especially at how dissapointed FF13 and 15 is. that time really doubt square could make decent rpg with modern standard anymore. hear great praise for the game and yet that time i really against of acknowledging 14 as mainline title. my argument that it is a mmo, not single player game while at same time expecting it merely a mmo with FF skin + tons of typical MMO grinding. later hear tons of praise of Heavensward and get curious to see what the fuss is all about and whether it live to its praise. finally try the game with low expectation. turn out it is nothing like im expected and i never been glad to be proven wrong. if anything im regret at, is not to play sooner.

they remaking whole game from ground up including new engine.. so yeahWait now that I am thinking about. It's not even the same game, it's litterally a whole new game tho!!!
Yeah, but that's not what op is talking about. Op is saying you played a game then you replayed the same game again and changed your opinion about it, but in the case of FFXIV the original and the new version are both litterally whole different games. Idk just something I noticed lol.they remaking whole game from ground up including new engine.. so yeah
well in some way im completely turn off even before playing it. but right you have point here.I returned Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for PS1 when I saw it was 2D. Only wanted to play 3D games at the time. I was an idiot.
I still consider it superior to the sequels
