What games did you go back to....?

It happens to everyone.

You get a game, don't play it much and then abandon it....only to go back to it months later and realize how good (or bad) it was.

For me it would have to be WITCHER 2 among others.

I started playing it, but got put off cause of all the loot and alchemy. Then a person on this forum told be not to worry about that too much, so I came back to it months later and am loving it.

What's yours???

Why did you abandon it???

Was it BETTER or WORSE when you came back???

metro 2033

GTA IV

Witcher 2

Batman Arkham Asylum

Tomb Raider Underworld

TF2, when I first played it I had a very low amount of internet per month and also it lagged terribly. So I played offline, but the bots get boring. Anyway, went back to it after I got unlimited net. I now have 986 hours in TF2. My favourite FPS ever!!!

Vampire Bloodlines, played it at launch - buggy, unpolished mess that contributed to my fried graphics card. Came back a year later with the user patches and loved it.nutcrackr

Gothic3, so many bugs at launch was really a shame.. but years later with all the community patches its one of my fav rpgs (beat it 4 times)

Stalker, wasnt crazy about it when it first came out, came back to it later and loved it.

dawn of war II (just now)

and ill probably go back to idk deus ex or code of honor 3

Definitely Metro 2033.

Just now I went back to ArmA 2 and I'm loving it so far.

The Witcher 1 - got stuck part way through chapter II and left it, came back a year later and finished the game, loved every minute.

Metro 2033 - I stopped playing part way through due to computer troubles, tried playing it again a few months later and finished it.

System Shock 2 - tried playing it in ~2008 but it just seemed to dated. I came back to it last summer and finished it, fantastic game.

Speaking of Vampire the Masquerade, I tried playing it last year but when I got a ATI video card all of the textures went crazy and I couldn't fix it. Should try it again on my new laptop

Deus Ex - At first I didn't like it all that much and I got stuck half way through the game so I stopped playing. Returned to the game and started from the beggining a few months later and it's been my nr. 1 game ever since.

SuperStreetFighter IV AE and Deus Ex HR on my lappy

SF4 ae is cool with all the awesome skinmods out there :

BioShock 2. Played it, and got bored about 5 or so hours in. Played it again recently and couldn't stop until the end, for some reason.

Runescape...But I'm done with it now. Really.

The Witcher 1 & 2 - gave up until the Enhanced Edition for the first

Titan Quest - Made it all the way to the final boss but could never beat him. Finished 2 nights ago with a friend in co-op

F.E.A.R. - scared the wits out of me when I was younger, bought and replayed it 2 years ago and it was of the best FPS campaigns ever

Killing Floor - Bought it on release and only played it for about an hour or 2. Was not interested enough and was playing many other games at the time. Also I recall starting a new job working a lot more back then. Randomly tried it out again during the steam summer sale and the circus update and racked up over 90 hours with in 2 weeks.

Kings Bounty - Loved this game from the start but suddenly stopped due to my new job at the time. Was about 2 years and 6 months ago. I also botched my game by playing poorly, running out of gold and not being able to buy a strong enough force. Recently started a new game and have been playing a little more wisely and loving it. Very long game and still have Armoured Princess and Crossworlds to do!

GTA IV and Gothic 3 for me.

First game that comes to mind is Deus Ex.

I first installed it a couple of years ago, but after playing games like Crysis, the dated visuals bothered me. I re-installed it again in January so I can be ready for Human Revolution. I've played more than 20 playthroughs since then. :)

. I've played more than 20 playthroughs since then. :)AleksandarTale

Most recent one, the way you describe, would be Batman AA.

Chronicles of Riddick: Same/worse

NFS: Shift: better

The Longest Journey. Stalled at chapter four 9-10 years ago. Picked it up cheap on steam along with the sequel and clocked it yesterday. Now playing through Dreamfall.

The Witcher. The terrible combat nearly did me in but eventually I went back and finished it. I'm glad I did, too.

GTA (series till recently)

FALLOUT 3+

Sand boxes for me much better and more enjoyable playing again ... sure the missions are the same but billion ways to approach/complete them ;)

Probably Assassin's Creed 2, I thought it was going to be as repetitive as the first one because it was boring in the beginning, I gave it another try and was plesently surprised.

[QUOTE="macronia"]BioShock ... why? cuz i finished it once and i wanted to play it again BADLY , don't why ? :) also thinking of fallout 3 GOTY and Mafia II and Assassin's creed 2 and Splinter cell conviction and far cry 2 i didn't abandon these games (except for far cry 2) but want to play them again :DFelipeInside

Wait I totally forgot about Bioshock! So I guess it would be Batman AA, and Bioshock!

Runescape...But I'm done with it now. Really.
