Metal Gear. I instantly wrote it off, being born in 1996, I didn't know any better. But man, when I went back and played it, it was an experience I'll never forget. Played every one except for Sons of Liberty and Peace Walker...:(

I judge Salt and Sanctuary off of the name alone. Then I looked it up. Then I played it. Then I fell in love.

Back in mid 2002, the game was i actually meh'ed' at Majora's Mask, then i immediately changed my mind, finished the game about 60 times.

Also... i meh'ed' at LoD, then 13 years later i came back to play this game. xD

This is embarassing but...Mario Kart. I don't like racers. Neither arcade ones nor racing sims and steadfast maintained that I didn't like Mario Kart because of it, until I tried it. And loved it.

Age of Empires series and, by extension, any strategy franchise you can come up with. Back in the day, when I was a child, strategy games looked as boring as mathematics. After trying the original Age of Empires, my perception of the genre changed forever.

More recently, I thought Splinter Cell Blacklist would be terrible, but it turned out to be really enjoyable.

Thought Hyrule Warriors would put me to sleep. Since buying it nearly a year ago however, I've put in over 150 hours and bought the DLC bundle. Very addicting game.

Shadow of Mordor. I thought i was going to be boring tbh but i ended up platninuming the game so yeah I really enjoyed it.... would recommend.

Oh, I'd like to also add Destiny. I avoided it in the beginning, but it sucked me in for months when I go too close to it's Event Horizon.

Pretty much all of them, the games i thought sucked was actually more then just a Okay game and the games i thought would be amazing is nothing but a okay game. People should play their games before judging the nature of the game.

Red Dead Redemption , WItcher 3 and Bloodborne .

I was not at all impressed with anything I saw beforehand and it was only through playing them that I realised how incorrect I was.
