Has anyone here ever played a game too young? Like you played a game and couldn't really appreciate the story because of your level of maturity? I'm thinking of replaying GTA 4 and 5, and I hated 4 when I played it when I was 16.

Disclaimer: GTA 4 was my first rated M game I played. The first game I actually used a gun, I remember being an edge teenager shooting up people and laughin my ass off. I definitely did not appreciate the story. Only memorable mission I remember was like the 3 or 4 leaf clover one where you rob a bank.

Thinking of giving this one another chance. Heard the Series X enhancements are well done as well.

Oblivion I'd say. I was 17 when it released and I just wasn't ready to appreciate it yet at that point, I didn't really get into the game's story at all, and then I accidentally save locked myself by saving while being attacked by an enemy, and faced with the prospect of needing to replay the game's opening sewer/dungeon again, I decided to quit the game. It wasn't until 4 years later after appreciating Bethesda's Fallout 3 and preparing for Skyrim that I decided to give Oblivion another chance and enjoyed it much more.

I'd also say the Ecco the Dolphin games for Sega Genesis and Sega CD. Playing those as a kid I found them to be annoying, difficult, and rather pointless. It wasn't until replaying them many years later that I realized what absolute bangers Ed Annunziata had released.
