Two examples:

First, Xenoblade Chronicles. Thought it would be a neat game, I hadn't played many JRPGs before it. But I had just come off of LOVING Chrono Trigger (another game I didn't realize I would fall in love with) and figured why not. Turned out to be my favorite Wii Game by a mile and one of my absolute favorite games of the entire 7th Gen.

Second, Mount&Blade. Bought this game on a whim cause it sounded neat and was dirt cheap. Wound up pouring hundreds of hours into it, both the vanilla version and some modded versions. Also, incidentally, this is an example of a game that I love that I openly admit isn't all that good in a critical sense. I wouldn't give it a single point over 6 out of 10. But I love it. And I think that's a concept that a lot of people need to embrace :P
