There are more than a few, this is something that I've learned from a few games in the past, and now attempt to replay any high quality game I don't initially like. Although I can name more than one, I will name one that is significant because it's one that I didn't originally finish because it didn't catch my interests at first, but once I beat it, it turned out to be one of my favorite games, one of my favorite sci-fi franchises, and it basically strengthened my interests in sci-fi altogether, so I'd say for me, although it may be minor for some to think so, it's a pretty big deal. The name of the game is Dead Space.
I just couldn't like it, it was a game I had just bought because I had gotten a job during the summer of 08 and I could finally spend some money on a game, and it didn't matter to me, so I go on GameSpot, IGN, read reviews of it, and say, "what the hell; buy!" Come home, play it, and all I knew of it was to expect something similar to one of my other favorite games of all time, RE4, and I was for some reason severely disappointed. I even went so far as to not play it, but play Dark Sector and say to a friend "now this is what Dead Space should have been!" and boy was I mistaken. Months later, I thought to myself, what the hell, I bought it, I should finish it. I get through the rest of the game, and I was shocked, I missed out on what was then and probably currently my favorite game of all time, or very close to it.
I think Dead Space is the only game I didn't get into before I even finished it, then later liked it, but there are a lot of games that I had finished and didn't like, but played again and loved, like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, inFAMOUS, and to a lesser extent, but still didn't quite enjoy it as much as I should have, and currently do, Metal Gear Solid 4. I think Metal Gear Solid 4 has to be one of the greatest quality games ever made, to this day, I mean, the problems in the game aren't even really problems. Too many cut-scenes, having to install every chapter, somewhat corny dialogue from time to time, it's all forgivable. Also, if it weren't for Dead Space, I would probably not even be interested in this years Prometheus, 'cause I wouldn't have thought about giving the Alien franchise another chance, I wouldn't have cared to watch 2001 again, I could keep going.
