Well into soloing 3-star quests and still loving it despite the heinous grind for armors at that point.
For example, in order to get the Nibelsnarf armor, not only do you need parts from the monster - probably about 10 hunts for everything from him you need - but you also need parts from a small, cat-sized insect. If you kill these fuckers with force, you can't get the parts - you need to use poison. The most common, simplest poison source would be poison smoke bombs, so you need to get the parts for that, which means you need the parts for bomb casings, which means mining and the like.
But actually fighting and beating large monsters is ASTOUNDINGLY cathartic. Breaking the parts, mounting and toppling them, avoiding attacks, chasing them from zone to zone, taking advantage of certain moments of weakness, it's AMAZING and takes a while to get boring.

Reserve judgement until your first big hunt. Delivering shrooms and fighting Jaggis might seem like boring bullshit, but it's necessary to teach you things like how to fight, how to move through the areas, and things like that.
Also, what >>13862550 says. I'm sure Generations isn't the best, I'm getting the feeling that's reserved for XX or perhaps 4U. On the other hand, I don't have internet for my 3ds, so I HAVE to solo every hunt. That'll be fun going into 4-star and up.

It isn't bad, but you definitely need to gimp yourself to have a semblance of a challenge. Once you beat the ass-backwards story, it really just becomes a fun game of hunting and brainwashing orcs to kill the warchiefs. Monolith should've made the game about that instead of some one-dimensional brooding queer and his gay elf ghost.

I used to worship Bethesda games from 2009-2012, and after playing a ton of Skyrim I figured I'd try Morrowind. However, being a fan of Bethesda games meant I had no patience or appreciation of the written word and cared about nothing other than seeing numbers go up and mindlessly following quest doritos so I absolutely hated it at first, even more I had gotten memed into using MGSO so I couldn't even appreciate the art direction. I hardly read anything and used the wiki to rush through the game just to say that I had beat it.
What changed between then and now is that I came here and was told to play Dark/Demon's Souls after which I gained an appreciation for builds, story, music, gameplay, and exploration that I didn't have before, and after that I couldn't go back to bethshit. I also liked FNV before but liked it a lot more after this, and when I finally came back to Morrowind and did a pure vanilla playthrough (not even the DLC) I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it despite the still-awful core gameplay systems.
But to fully understand the degree which my taste transformed, know that my favorite game in 2012 was Borderlands 2, and my favorite game now is DMC3. Thank you, /v/

Back when Resident Evil 4 first came out I rented it, as a kid I never played a horror game before, I completely got my ass kicked, ran out of ammo and couldn't get past the first main encounter in the village, I didn't even find the shotgun. I hated it and felt like I wasted my time and my dad's money renting the game.
Years latter I hear that RE4 was revolutionary and everyone thinks it's great.
Due to my bad experience I was hesitant but still bought the game and gave it another shot.
I love it and played it constantly for around a year. due to a shit memory card my save kept getting erased after I beat the game, but that was a blessing in disguise since RE4 is far more enjoyable when playing a fresh save.
Turns out the game didn't suck 10 year old me just sucked at the game.

Well, first of all, keep in mind that Arkham Origins, from a structural level, is an AC mod, so most changes are subtle, but they adjusted just enough to make you feel like you are being challenged more than the others. For starters, there's a much bigger focus on countering on the combat and the enemies are much faster as well. They also gave more meat to bones of the enemies: There's the new martial arts expert, who can deal a lot of damage, there are more League of Assassin ninjas, albeit in selected areas in the city, there are more enforcers inspired by the Abromovich Brothers, who have a new charge attack that follows the player, he also grabs you and lets the other enemies beat you up if don't escape his grasp. Generally, there are enemies who are resistant to special takedowns, and the game tries to defeat you with numbers, have a bunch enemies trying to attack you be the dozen.
The predator encounters are also better. The areas are much smaller and more cluttered, the enemies will try to call reinforcements sometimes, there is one of them that causes all of the gargoyles to detonate mid-game so you are forced to use other methods. There isn't much to say in this aspect, as the predator sections were fine, but I do think the remote claw made things too easy.
To me, however, what makes AO so great is how it handled the side missions and how they rewarded the players. For example: In AC there's the Deadshot Mission. You wait for the start point to trigger, you investigate, get some XP and waits for another event to show up… whenever. Rinse. Repeat. This happened in all of AC's missions and it was frustrating. The assault in progress mission could only be finished after beating the story because I had to fly through Arkham City like a headless chicken for the encounters to happen, and they weren't that special, you had to beat like, one guy and that's it.
No such thing happens in Origins. In it you will have a start point somewhere during the story and you can just move on if you wish. Since completing one event of the side mission triggers the next, you can beat a full side mission in one sitting. Remember that Deadshot mission? In here there's an crime scene that leads you to a predator encounter with some enemies and Deadshot himself as a boss, who can pretty much see you behind him. There's the Anarky mission, who takes from the Zsasz phone calls, but they last long enough not to get boring and always finish with a combat encounter to give a little more tension, in addition to finish with boss encounter. The assault in progress? The game has the crime in progress system, which are combat encounters that spawn at some locations and tend to have medium-to-very-hard difficulty, fixing the problems of the previous one by making them more challenging and NOT have them be part of side mission, just be something for you to stretch your legs.
The side missions on City gave some radio tapes and some XP and that's it, on Origins you can actually win some new moves or maybe some new gadgets, so won't have to grind your way into winning all that stuff while offers you a choice, you either play along with the story and suffer later on or take the risk of a harder side mission and get rewarded. You can also get some new moves by playing the Dark Knight challenges, but I fear the predator challenges are awfully broken.

Arkhamshit combat gets a lot of well-deserved criticism but it isn't inherently bad, the problem is usually that there's no enemy variety or things to do other than press X and Y but it can be pretty fun, if every fight in Mad Max was like this webm (and there was less of them) I think I'd like the game a lot more.
All of these games have the same upgrade system too and the combat is only fun after you have a bunch of the upgrades that add new abilities, perhaps the easiest solution is to just remove the upgrade system and give you everything from the start (or at least very early on).

Hated it the first time I played it on Xbox360. I was playing it like an action RPG and was getting really annoyed when I fought bandits and had to keep fighting for like half an hour because I was doing fuck all damage to them.
I understood the game better when I got it on PC, and played it more like a JRPG, focusing on grinding gear, leveling up and committing to jobs. I had a lot more fun when I understood what the game actually was, rather than what it looked like.
>Divinity: Original Sin
I couldn't get into this game for the longest time. The combat threw me for a loop, and then the game keeps you in town for the longest time just walking around and talking to people. I really had no idea where to go or what to do. Every combat encounter I could find was way too high level for me, and I seemed to be hitting a dead end in all my quests. I gave up after around 10 hours. Eventually I came back to it, and once I got out of the town and had a few levels under my belt, I really started to enjoy it.

Arcanum, actually. I bought it expecting something completely different so I never really gave it much of a chance at the time. When I finally went back to it later it became one of my favorite games of all time. Not sure how long I shelved it, maybe a couple years.

Worth mentioning that I bought it at a store, based on the cover, probably in 2002. It's not like I heard about it on some board and misunderstood or was misinformed.

It was a buggy mess across all platforms at launch and most people consider the story to be fanfiction tier.

>Gaijin fixing things in War Thunder
When did that ever happen?
They usually "fix" at most 1-2 flight models while fucking up a minimum of 5 BRs per update, newly added vehicles/aircraft/RP nerfs not included.
I still for the life of me can't figure out the decision for removing the MG151/20 gunpods on the 109 F-4 and replacing them with MG151/15s, or the 4.0 BR of the A7M in SB.

The story was fine, just not very special. It relies too much on the Year One gimmick, which has been done to death, and making obnoxious references to other comics, like Killing Joke. Those really pulled me out of the entire thing.
>>13863859
Because WB is full of greedy morons who wanted the game to be nothing but a DLC simulator. When it underperformed they turned it into an abandonware. It was the pirates who fixed the bugs in the game and the repacks have all the DLC included.

Infinite's strength was all from the setting and the writing. When you first play it you get a culture shock of this new cool place, letting you overlook flaws because of how hyped you get. When you revisit it, it can't hype you up, so you get to see it for what it truly is.

Chrono Cross.
It's a good game as long as you don't enter it expecting a Chrono Trigger sequel.
7da5e3 No.13872478
>>13867437
I'd say that oversimplifies it. If you're expecting a game with the same gameplay and tone as Chrono Trigger, you're in for a nasty surprise. But the story is a direct sequel that deals with some of the loose ends of CT. Aside from the completely different gameplay and artstyle, I think the reason it leaves a bad taste in many peoples mouth is the way it portrays time travel. CT used it as the solution to every problem, while CC showed how even good intentioned use of it can have disastrous consequences.

Now see, for myself, (someone who's actually one-life cleared the game with a respectable score), I actually respected this game a lot more when I played it only casually. I said things like "well it's still Metal Slug so it's at a certain standard of excellent" and "hey, Metal Slug 4 had a neat scoring system". It wasn't until I finally got around to playing it seriously recently that I truly learned to loathe Metal Slug 4. Fucking terrible stage and enemy design all over the place.
e33010 No.13873128
I'm trying real hard to think up an example but I honestly can't think of anything I used to hate but respect now. Think I generally had a good sense for bad game design even as a kid. It appears that it has only grown stronger, because I can think of plenty of examples of bad games I tolerated when younger but hate even more as the years go by.

Im not claiming its a good game but I hated Pre-Civilization: Marble Age when I first bought it but for some reason I tried it again and got autistically committed to beating it and then beating it more thoroughly, something about those damn sliders just made me keep playing even though it was a retarded and unrewarding game that was damaging my mental health.

Once you work out their somewhat stupid combat system and learn to ignore the glaring instances of cut content it's a halfway decent game. Also M14s.

Closest I can think of is Summoner, I bought it like a year after it came out. I wasn't really enjoying the combat, the story felt very cookie cutter, the map was a joke to try and navigate and you better fucking pay attention when someone talks. The first time I played it I got to this big city and there was a random conversation with some gate guard that seemed totally unimportant, so I ignored it. Subsequently I had no idea where to go or that a quest had activated. I ended up wandering out of the town into a random encounter and getting destroyed. I didn't pick it back up for years.
When I gave it another chance because that D&D meme in it cracked me up so much, I actually paid attention… and suddenly I fell in love with the game. The map was still shit, the combat still kind of slow, but everything else dramatically improved.
In the conversation I'd ignored the first time you're basically told you can't enter the palace, but hinted that if you go to a certain area you can sneak in through the sewers. There you meet a sexy thief girl who becomes your second party member. You get through the sewers with her and before long you have your entire party. A mage, a knight, a thief and the summoner. Pretty standard, and other than the Thief being hot not that special, but later on the game forces you to play as each individual character for segments, and the thief's segment really shines. Suddenly it feels like you're playing Metal Gear Solid instead of an RPG. The story takes a massive twist, the music is still easily one of my absolute favorite soundtracks. The ending was extremely satisfying.
I still feel like there's a ton of stuff in it I completely missed because I never used a guide. At one point you run into another party of adventurers in a random quest. Who they are and what you do with them is never explained.
The sequel was surprisingly kind of a let down even though it felt more like a jrpg and had much better characters. The story itself shits on the story of the first one, and just isn't that good.

The very first time I played Monster Hunter was the Tri demo on the Wii. With the nunchuck and wiimote. Needless to say I hated the fuck out of it and thought it was hot garbage, and never looked deeper. Fast forward a few years and I've got a PSP for piracy and nostalgia, and everybody and their dog says MHFU is a must have game for it. I played MHFU, MH3U, MH4U, and MHXX to completion several times each, and all of their demos have been total shit.

Sort of but not really, the combat is a lot better and there's less focus on RP. Also the final mission actually has a lot of effort put into it because you can play as one of three different non-protagonist characters each with their own animations, voice lines etc. I was surprised they'd go so far.

The whole game is pretentious m8. We can begin with super-stylized architecture in Detroit of all places. Don't let it ruin your fun though, it's still a great game.
