Ever hated a game then re-played it a year later and really liked it?

Happened to me with White Knight Chronicles. When I first played the game a long time ago I thought it was the most boring P.O.S. game ever created. Then my brother bought #2 that comes with #1.....and I'm having a ton of fun playing it.

Kind of mad at myself for getting rid of the game.

alone in the dark 1

I sorta feel that way about Okami except I don't hate it, but it grows on me when I play it.

dragon age origins...hated it at first...played it a few months later and really enjoyed it

Valkyria Chronicles. I hated it because the game seemed broken and didn't play right. LOL. Found out later that I played the game wrong. i tried to play it like a shooter and not a strategy game. Once i played it like a strategy game it was easy as pie.

Not this generation no. I'm hoping it happens with GTAIV because I still can't get into that game and I'd like to complete it.

The first time I played Shenmue though I didn't much care for it. Then I tried it again a few months later and it's one of my favorite games of all time now.

InFamous 1 comes to mind. Played the demo, thought it was crap. Bought the game and played through it, still thought it was crap. Played it through again about 8 months later, thought it was amazing. I don't really understand how it happened. But now it's one of my favourite PS3 exclusives.

Okami. The intro turned me off and didn't pick it up for a year. Turned out to be my favourite PS2 game.

That happens to me with so many games, I don't like them at first but when I give it another shot I really like it.

Fallout 3 for me.

I rented it, after having heard good thing about it. I got out of the vault, wandered around the wasteland for a little while then got murdered by mutant ants. Called it quits, returned it and went on living my life.

About a year later, i found a cheap copy and decided to give it another go. Ended up loving it.

does a sequal count?

Oblivion. Just couldnt get into it the first time. Replayed it at least a year later and played through it twice.

FarCry 2, I hated it the first time I played it, I love it now.

Not exactly what the OP asked, but I regret trading in The Last Remnant. In terms of setting and aesthetics, it's not as bland as I thought and the gameplay is great. Wish I still had it.TentacleMayor

The PC version is fairly cheap and it fixes most of the 360 version flaws while adding extra stuff and increasing the overall difficulty of the game so if you have a gaming PC then get it, it's pretty good.

Crysis-It wouldn't run well at all on my old PC so I left it to gather dust,And now I have a more powerful machine I am really enjoying it.

yea Dragon Age

No, hasn't ever happened to me.

Fallout 3

I got too caught up in finding everything and finding all the quests that I forgot to explore the game. I put the game away for awhile and restarted and got caught up in the atmosphere and creating my own story than playing a game. From exploring I found so many neat little details that turned a Fallout ripoff into a very fun game.

namcos tales series, hated them at first now cant get enough

Final Fantasy Tactics for PS1. Got destroyed in the earlier missions of the game and got frustrated. Shelved it for like 2 years. Found it my junior year of high school in some old box, booted it up, and couldn't stop playing. One of my favorite games of all time now.

SSFIV. And Morrowind.

Oblivion. Just couldnt get into it the first time. Replayed it at least a year later and played through it twice.

SuperHunter

Exactly the same as this guy. played it back when it came out and just could not get into it AT ALL actually used to slag it off when people praised it but then i though it was worth a chance and now its right up there with one of the best i have played

Battlefield Bad Company 2. I bought it to play with an friend an quit after 10 minutes. Thought it was the dumbest game ever. I went back to it after about 5 months and loved it.

FFXII. The first time I played though it the gambit, license board and loot systems irritated me endlessly, and I found the story uninteresting. Replayed it last month and recognized how good the game actually was.

Oblivion. Just couldnt get into it the first time. Replayed it at least a year later and played through it twice.

SuperHunter

Fallout 3

When I first got my Playstation Fallout 3 had been out for I guess about 6 months and was reduced in price, and given how many people were saying what a good game it was I decided to get it. I played it the first time and absolutely hated it, just thought the controls were awkward, the aim was all off, and etc etc etc (basically any complaint you here from someone only just starting out playing it). Over the following year and a half I must have tried numerous times to play it but for some reason I just found myself hating the game, and unable to play it.

Anyway earlier this year I thought I'd try it again, and have really enjoyed it, so much so I bought the game of the year edition too for the DLC as it works out cheaper than buying it individually and have bought Fall Out New Vegas which I am also enjoying despite some of the problems the game has.

Resident Evil 5

I think that's all.

I don't make it a habit to replay games I hated.
