A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Games you didn't like but suddenly clicked (lemmy.world)

Hey folks! Here's an interesting thing that happened with me: I love action RPGs, I love western RPGs, I was addicted to Skyrim. So when The Witcher 3 launched, one of the most well received open world action RPGs I loved it, right? Well... No. In fact, for some reason I can't really understand I could never play more than 2 hours before dropping it.

I restarted that game about 5 times before, never liked it, wished I could refund it.

Until about two weeks ago I randomly decided to try it again and... oh boy, let's just say I'm a child considering if I should sleep for work tomorrow or continue playing all through the night.

Does anybody else have a game that they couldn't like but it suddenly clicked and now they enjoy it?

The Witcher 3 wasn't fun at all until I reached level 10 or so, took me over a month to get to that level because I played in very short intervals. Some others I can think of are Dishonored, Assassin's Creed Syndicate and The Outer Worlds. Got Dishonored at release, played an hour and put it away, finished it five years later. For Assassin's Creed Syndicate it was a year and The Outer Worlds around half a year. Ended up having a lot of fun with all those games.
