a few haven't aged so well (saints row and stranger's wrath in particular) but i'm leaving them in

Saints Row The Third is one of the best games of all times in terms of its quality vs time of release

Yeah it feels so old now but that game was a complete banger on release

Apex Legends, i never liked the battle royale genre and I never played titanfall. It was a game that was suggested on a free games board on gamefaqs. I enjoyed it completely from the get go.

Bioshock. Came in knowing the big twist and expecting a campy shoot-em-up, and I got underwater Resident Evil vibes instead.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Forza Horizon 2

The first game was very good but not incredible. From FH2 onwards the games were on another level I've never experienced in racing games before. Like the polish of the Forza Motorsports series but made much more fun with greater freedom.

Nier Automata

Like, I knew the game had a lot of hype behind it. But I grabbed the demo because I bought a PS4 specifically to play Persona 5, and the console arrived first so I wanted to fill time. And the demo was just ok. The only reason I grabbed the full game was because I asked you guys if it got better and took the board's word for it.

When I was really young I remember this one game that came out of nowhere for me...

Peek-a-boo!

I didn't see that shit coming when I was 2.

What was it that finally hooked you?

The sense of accomplishment as well as how connected the world was - don't think I've seen something do it better than the original Dark Souls. Constantly finding these shortcuts or how X area connects back to Y and building that mental map of the world in my head was great.

Ace Attorney comes to mind. I bought the 2nd game first. I was kind of intense about the whole story/gameplay and remember deciding I should only play the game on weekends, to give my brain a chance to calm down during the week. I can't say I've had that with any other game since then, including more recent Ace Attorney games. Nothing against them it's just the whole idea was new at the time, and also it had been awhile since I'd played any sort of adventure games.

As far as recent examples, Super Mario 35 is one that I wasn't sure what to expect but ended up playing a lot of.

Many of my favorite games could apply here. Celeste is probably the best example because I am bad at video games and have a poor tolerance for difficulty in them, so I never expected to get much out of a precision platformer.

Probably Va11HallA. I went in with almost no expectations and basically picked a game from my steam share at random. Turns out it's one of the most unique and chill games I've ever played.

Persona 3 - Bought it together with The Sims Castaway just because the cover seemed cool enough and didn't touch it for quite some time, and I played The Sims Castaway instead. After playing it I was hooked.

Hmm, this applies to me too, so I wonder if I could actually get some enjoument out OF CELESTER. I did beat That one game but I cforget whT'S IT'S CALLED. MAYBE IT'S GOOD. IT HAD A CHARACTER NAMED LUMEN AND WAS BASED ON VOICE. AZUER STRIAK GUNVOLT THATS WHAT IT WAS. I BEAT THAT. SO I CAN BEAT GAMES THAT ARE KINDA HARD. SO MAYBE I CAN BEST CELEST.
