Actually, there is a game that made me not only turn a 180 on the game itself, but the genre altogether. If you know me, you know I value story above all in games. It's why games that are perfect in almost every other way, but lack a story, can only achieve at most a 70-80 from me, such as Tropical Freeze, even though we have quality 2-d games like Trine that have great stories. But this wasn't always the case. I used to think role playing games were dumb. I was used to Warcraft, Command and Conquer, The Sims. Controlling one character? That's just stupid.
Then came Kotor. I hated it. All my friends loved it and played it. I argued, as a kid, so many times I can't count, about how stupid it was.
Then I played it and my mind was blown. Not only did I fall in love with the game, not only did I fall in love with the genre, I fell in love with games that have good stories and writing.
That game lead to the biggest perspective shift for me, ever, in regards to video games. Suddenly, games without quality stories seemed like cheap, lazy attempts, and I still have that view to this day.
