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?

    Probably a classic answer, but Dark Souls. Played it a bunch of times and really hated how clunky it was, it felt unfair and poorly made, and the graphics felt a little outdated.

    Then I took a couple months break, looked up some guides on how to get good and it became my absolute favourite game of all time.

    The sequels are all good too! Bloodborne also rules! Elden Ring is the bomb too!

    On the flip side, I really liked the idea of Sekiro until I played through it for a while. Then I got very mad that I wasn’t getting better and gave up. I’ve heard this is a common gripe for people like me that like to dodge in the game a lot.

      Ha! What a world indeed. Yeah, I appreciate Sekiro and love the feel of getting the perfect parry and guard break… buuuuut I just wanna roll around in crazy circles then hit things with a giant hammer 🤷‍♂️
