Games you did not like at first but now you do.

Nothing currently, but a couple of games in the past. First was Morrowind. When I first played it, I really couldn't get the hang of it, and I really struggled, then gave up at about level eight. I spent a few weeks playing other things, and reading the official forums, then created a new character and started over. I played almost nothing else for nearly three years. The other was Vampire: ... Bloodlines. In that case my hardware (A Radeon 9800Pro), even though cutting edge at the time, couldn't hack it, and stuttering frame-rates killed it for me. I finally went back about three years later with much faster graphics and loved it.

Fallout New Vegas. Got it for Christmas, but didn't properly play it until last month.

I sold Borderlands as I couldn't get into it, but now I think I shouldn't have!

Stalker for me. I gave up on it after about an hour the first time round. About a year later I came back and completed it and absolutely love it.

Stalker for me too, I bounced off it twice but on the 3rd go, over a year after buying it, I finally got it. One of my favourite series ever now, especially Call Of Pripyat.

I remember playing Rome Total war for the first time, hating the campaign and just playing the odd quick battle until I got bored of it.

I then played it again and spent months doing a single campaign with the Blue Roman faction where I eventually conquered the entire game world.

Fallout.

World of warcaft i suppose with the hours i spent on it. Thank god thats over.

Empire: Total War
CIV 5

Exceptionally disappointed with both upon release and left both alone for a long time. Went back to both eventually and played them a lot since, but like is a far as I'm willing to go with these titles.

This is fast becoming one of my games of the year, really surprised at how crap it isn't, especially after all the negative reviews.

Yeah, I expected the worse and it surprised me

A console game but ff7 it came with the ps i got at first i didnt like it. But when i had a oppertion i was house and bed bound for a week and i didnt have much else to do other then play ff7. Such a awesome game one of the best ever imo and i was sad when it ended.

PC wise of the top of my head dragon age I thought the first hours of that was a bit dull but once you get that ritual out the way it picks up from there.

I have fallout game of the year edtion i can get into it at all gonna have put some time into it.
