What games have you changed your opinion of over time, for better or worse?
Dragon Age Origins - used to find it unplayable and entirely unappealing, whereas nowadays I can just about manage a playthrough and find the combat fun in small amounts (still find the setting and characters quite boring though).
Diablo - I used to find it incredibly dull as a kid, but nowadays I get the appeal and find the series to be quite fun, even if I'm not a full-on fan.
Morrowind - my opinion has declined in recent years from "maybe the best game of all time" to "not even the best Elder Scrolls game". It's still a very unique game but for whatever reason the unavoidable flaws just stick out more and more over time for me.
Dishonored - used to really like it, now I find both the story and the gameplay very tedious. The superpowers were a huge mistake, but the game just plays like a really shit version of Thief if you ignore them. I like Dishonored 2 a bit more.
Spyro - used to repel me for some reason, but I think Spyro 1 is really good after playing the Reignited remake.
Fallout 2 - used to be my favourite Fallout, now I think it's insufferable and very uneven. Could also mention New Vegas here, which I still like but which I also find less and less appealing in retrospect as time goes on. I am going to become one of those "Fallout ended with Fallout 1" people you used to see on NMA.
Pillars of Eternity - thought it was terrible when it came out. I have since revised this opinion, and now think that it's extremely fucking terrible.
