Video games you thought would be bad but were actually good O_O
Has there ever been a video game that you thought was going to be bad but it actually turned out to be good? I was a bit skeptical over Jade Empire...But when I actually picked up the game and played it I thought it was fun. I know Jade Empire isn't as good as the original KOTOR or the other Bioware games but it was pretty good considering that it was the first time Bioware decided to scrap the turn-based system and go with live-action.

Final Fantasy X-2...was really fun, actually.
Final Fantasy 9. I got it as a side Christmas present because on the PS1 there wasn't many games I was actually interested in coming out. It turned out to be my favourite game ever.

Im actually starting to open up to 9 and it has become one of my fav FFs
Can't say that's happened to me, mainly because I rarely spend money on games unless I know for a fact they're going to be good. I have, however, played games that everyone has raved about and I ended up hating.
There is no signature here. Move along.
Armored core 2/armored core 2:another age,i thought it was just going to be a typical shoot em' up game,but customising your own robot and fighting others in the arena then doing missions turned out to be a good way to waste a week of your life and i thought armoured core 2 another age was going to be crap because they lost the arena but its actully a bit better than 2 because you get better wepons upgrades etc.etc
ff7 made me weap many tears
Its funny I used to HATE final fantasy games until I played X.
Then I didnt hate them.
Owen made this sig. R.I.P.
Oh, that happens to me all the time. I have a money tree, you see. So I'm constantly picking at it's ripe crispy notes to go and buy games that I personally think will be terrible and that I'll probably only play once.
So it's very often that I find a gem among all the crap that I buy.
Well, I buy PC Zone, which tells me pretty much all I want to know about what PC games are good to get and which are not. I buy a new PS2 about once, maybes twice a year, and before splashing out on one, I always check this glorious site to make sure the game I'm getting isn't crap. Generally though, I can decide for myself. I mean I thought Timesplitters Future Perfect because I knew that was going to be ace.

Kingdom Hearts! My friend kept begging me to try it, and one day he just brought it over anyway, and I liked it!
FF7 i was only 5 when it came out and i wasn't used to RPG's but when my older sister made me play it i thought it good, now i'm addicted and i get every ff the day it comes out
I'm with Maxx here. Unless I've played the game in some form or KNOW I'll like it (read: it's part of a series I've always loved), I probably won't buy it, so this rarely, if ever, happens to me. The closest thing was probably Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, just because I'd never played a Castlevania after IV, and so I was a little skeptical. Of course, it soon passed.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
I remember getting a new PS2 after my one borked, and I got either that or Ratchet and Clank in a deal. I didn't know which to get (I loved playing the demo of R&C), but eventually I chose Kingdom Hearts. One of the best choices I've ever made.

When Covenant came out, I wanted to play it but figured I should play the first one first and wasn't expecting much cause all the reviews were so so. I think the first Shadow Hearts is one of the top ten rpg's ever after playing it and definetly the best in the series.
