Games you didn't like but suddenly clicked

3 years ago by kadu to c/patientgamers

Hey folks! Here's an interesting thing that happened with me: I love action RPGs, I love western RPGs, I was addicted to Skyrim. So when The Witcher 3 launched, one of the most well received open world action RPGs I loved it, right? Well... No. In fact, for some reason I can't really understand I could never play more than 2 hours before dropping it.

I restarted that game about 5 times before, never liked it, wished I could refund it.

Until about two weeks ago I randomly decided to try it again and... oh boy, let's just say I'm a child considering if I should sleep for work tomorrow or continue playing all through the night.

Does anybody else have a game that they couldn't like but it suddenly clicked and now they enjoy it?

Breath of the Wild - I tried a few times, but never made it past the opening area. Once I finally did, I ended up hating the weapon durability mechanic. Once I discovered mods (Linkle and removal of weapon durability), I started to get into the game.

Starlancer - This is an old PC game (~2000?). I'd messed around with it a lot, but one day it sort of clicked with me. I rapidly beat it from there (of course there was the one ship that could 1 shot everything else, which was why I beat it so easily).

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
