Ok let me start by saying this. I,for the most part, don't like or play rpgs or jrpgs. I remember getting star wars knights of the old republic after hearing how good it was and having my friends talk about it all the time. I bought it shortly after its release and could barely wait to get home to play. This was my first rpg and did not know what to expect when i started. After about 5 or so hours i realized something, i had yet to have fun. The combat was painfully boring to me and the story, although interesting, was not enough to keep me playing. I figured it was the hype that ruined it for me. Later i tried mirrowind and again, found it far too boring to continue playing. FFIX and FFX same thing, just could not get into them. I just don't "get," rpgs. I would rather play a nice racing game, fps or platformer. I came to the concision rpgs are not my thing and stopped trying.
Then came Fallout 3, i spent about 70 hours my first play through and loved every minute of it, i figured for every rule(me and rpgs just dont mix) there is an exception. I bought fallout:NV and again, loved every minute of it. during a steam sale awhile back my friend bought me mass effect because it was so cheap and he owed me. I never got around to trying it until last week, and in that week i put 18 hours in mass effect then bought mass effect 2 at full price and sank 33 hours in no problem. I like rpgs now! what happened? this is a first, usually i get bored with the combat but damn, M.E. is one hell of a good game! Anyway, im now going back and playing st:kotor and dont find the combat so lame anymore. Anyone else discover they really like a genre or game they gave up on liking for some reason? We all know what kind of games, movies, music, pizza etc we like and dislike, but you can be surprised when those liking/dislikings change.
