I was iffy on Resident Evil 6 going in because everyone seemed to hate it and I didn't really like RE5 that much. But I ended up really enjoying it as an over the top action game with some RE flavoring.

i hated quake 4 and doom 3 and thought Prey would suck too since it's on the same engine and very similar-feeling but it owns. the big shoot-outs where youre going between portals flipping the gravity 5 different ways are awesome

You're talking about two different Preys. But both of them are cool

Just remembered this morning while thinking about doing a pre-Infinite replay of the Halo series that for some reason I was convinced Halo: Reach was going to be terrible and I refused to play it for years. I don�t even really remember why, I didn�t really care for ODST that much and I thought the armor abilities sounded like a really bad idea (I guess a foreshadowing of how much I�d end up hating overwatch-style hero shooters with special character abilities years later), but I feel like there must have been more to it than that to get a Halo fanboy like me to pass up a new Halo game. I guess I was just really hardheaded then.

Then years later when I finally got over myself and played it I felt like an idiot, since it turned out to be the best Halo game by a mile

I played it recently and it kicked a lot of rear end
