What are some games you weren't sure you would like, but then when you played them they were amazing?

The best example with me is Final Fantasy XIII. As a whole I think FF is crap, so I had absolutely no interest in this game. I remember seeing all this stuff about it for years and just thought, "Uhhhh, no. Don't care." When it started getting great reviews I still didn't care. Then something happened and I (for whatever reason, fate maybe) decided that I HAD to play it. And now its in my Top Five favorite games of all times. (As well as Top One Worst Story Ever :P) What about you guys?
 
Believe it or not, I originally believed DMC to be the biggest load of crap I'd ever seen. Then, I actually played it. I believe I must have nearly choked on my own words after that.
 
Dawn of War 1 through to Soulstorm.
Honestly, the 40k universe never used to appeal to me, but since I started playing those games I just fell in love, I also now know more about the 40k universe lore and history wise than my friend who has a several hundred soldier strong Chaos tabletop army.

The original Black & White.
Never thought that'd be all that interesting either, turns out I was wrong and that it feeds my god complex like no other game in the world.

Flashpoint: Dragon Rising: I instantly thought "HURR HURR REALISM KILLS THE FUN!"
I ate my words. Hard.
The difficulty just makes it more fun.
 
How forget i thinked i will not like the Mana Khemia series, action in a 2-D RPG, i just love that thing.

And Makai Kingond that thing maked me love even more 2-D Gmaes
 
Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. When I saw it, I thought it looked crappy and thought the story sounded pretty stupid, but I got it just because. And i'm actually glad I did get it because now VP is one my favorite game series.XD
 
Wild ARMs 4. I tried playing it multiple times, but once I actually spent some time on it, I absolutely fell in love with the game.

It is now my favorite game. Evar.
 
Another one for me is Tekken: DR. I didn't like fighting games to much, but I decided to give it a try and now its my favorite game on the PSP.
 
Dead Rising. I bought it for the sake of it not thinking it would be much and it gathered dust on my shelf for a long time until one day I played it out of boredom. To this day I still think it is the most perfect zombie game that will ever be made. It was much better than Left 4 Dead in my eyes. I loved it so much infact that I actually spent an entire day 9AM-1AM going through infinite mode and I had a great time.

The Godfather 2. Same story I bought it and never really bothered getting into it for a good few months until I decided to give it another chance. I quickly became so obsessed with that I just lived on that game for the next few days. Much better than the first.

I want to play them again now >_<
 
Shadow of rome , i saw gameplay videos and i didn't like it , after i saw the videos by a week i think , my brother bought it. and i really enjoyed slicing the enemies.
 
Dragon Age Origins, as i liked the premise of the game and im a Bioware fan but i didnt think the Dungeons and Dragons feel of the game would be any good. After playing it i was shocked as to how deep and huge the game actually is.

Borderlands also as i didnt think the idea would work and the game would become repetitive. However after investing some time into it and playing the co-op i really started to enjoy it.
 
I have finally thought of 2. Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken 4. The first time I played them, I didn't like them. Then later on(about a few months) I got bored and played them. I was really good at it.
 
Hmm... I have no friggin' idea.

I thought the game Enchanted Arms seemed to suck. After I played it, it instantly became one of the most addicting games.
Hmm... Devil May Cry?

The first time I saw Devil May Cry was early when I first got a PS2, it had a demo disc with it. In the demo disc there was a trailer for Devil May Cry, it looked so awful and boring I just never cared to watch.
I think it was seven years later that I'd play Devil May Cry 3 for the first time, and well... I didn't know it was the same game series until later when I remembered about that.
As fast as I'd play Devil May Cry 3, I joined this forum. Yupp, I loved a game series I thought for sure that I'd hate seven years earlier so much that I even joined a forum for it.

Click to expand...

You know i have Dragon Age and i have finished it and every friend of mine that come to my house asks to play Dragon Age.

Anyway,i thought that i wouldn't like prince of persia 4,well i had all the others prince of persia.I had seen the trailer and the gameplay and i saw that it was to many parkour and few fight but i bought it and i liked it more than the others prince of persia.
 
You honestly want to know about my one reversal?

*Checks everywhere*.Ok it's gonna get a bit X-rated here.No profanities or anything but just in case :

It was Demonbane the original.It started when I saw a nice picture of it with insanely great art and though : WOW,this is the best CG ever!After that I tried to find the game,but when I found about the amount of loli and tentacles it had[yes it is a VN with h content]I was immidiately shunned but the fact that 80% of it was Lovecraft and 20% was mecha,I decided to give it a try.And goddamn I liked it,this,the non-h version[and with not so much violence] and the sequel too.These along with Fate/Stay Night remain my best Vns up until today.And thank go I took that step.
 
I thougt that spore isn a good game and i was thinging that it was for children but wenn i played it was a little fan.
