We hear about it all of the time. Some games just start off slow, the controls are hard to get used to, there are awful camera angles, the game is a ripoff of another game. But something compels us to keep going and suddenly, you're having fun and feel somewhat accomplished with the game?
I'm currently working on playing through all of (Well as many as I have access to) the Mario games and I got to the two games I was dreading. Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy.
Super Mario Sunshine...I never owned my own Gamecube and as someone who never had one, my fingers just never got used to the controls. Throw in a few awkward camera angles/glitchy moments and I was out. In fact, when I started the playthrough, I jumped to a spinoff (Mario + Rabbids: Battle Kingdom) instead of giving it much of a shot...which I ended up beating before I even gave Sunshine another chance. Then I decided to skip Sunshine and play Galaxy but decided to go back.
To be honest, Super Mario Sunshine is a lot of fun once you do get used to the controls. The puzzles leave you feeling satisfied once you've figured them out. The world feels more cohesive than 64 because it all has the vacation feel (well so far. Not sure about the levels I haven't played yet).
Super Mario Galaxy...From what I have played, I don't know what was going on when I decided to hate on it so bad back in the day. I did hate using the Wii Remote but there was the Pro controller that I should have tried playing with. I am only on the 2nd world (went back to play Sunshine) but the game looks stunning. I get that these are remasters but I recall it looking great on the Wii as well.
Overall, I think I should just shut up and get used to controls but I really apologize for my behavior towards either of these games in the past. I'm having a lot of fun
So what games do you guys love that you initially disliked?
