What a pleasant surprise!

I always hated 2 genres... those stupid games where a slight paper cut spurts gallons of blood everywhere, and fighting games...

... and then I played Mortal Kombat...

I'm not a fan of JRPGs. They tend to be long and tedious, and I lose interest halfway into them. I couldn't even force myself to finish Final Fantasy XIII, which I genuinely liked for some reason I can't comprehend.

However, not only did the Chrono games hold my interest from beginning to end, I've played through both twice.

FFXIII was so dull, I died 3 times during the tutorial because it didn't explain crap to me.

I usually hate RPGs, I just don't have the patience. However at the recommendations of y friends I gave Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic a chance. It's the first RPG (Thats not one of the Game Boy Zeldas) that I beat. Then I beat it again for the alternate ending.

I'm also thinking about picking up Fable 2 from my friend in a couple weeks too.

Just spam 'x'. You'll probably win.

I was never really fond of grid-combat style strategy games in the past, then I got into Front Mission 4, and I was really surprised with how much fun it was.

I'm not into puzzlers. Yet decided to give Lumines II a go when I saw it on Game at $2. I have poured countless hours into that game since. By now I've paid less than 1c/hour.

Early this week I asked for advice about a PsP RPG so I went out and picked up two games (and Halo: Reach, I know, my hypocrisy knows no bounds). I picked up Valkyria Chronicles II and Persona 3, both of which belong to a genre I hate. I started playing VCII at 3:30 P.M. and when I looked up next it was 3 A.M. and Persona 3....lets just say I never went to bed.

Discussion Value: Ever try a genre you usually hate but you ended up loving?

Don't pick up Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. You'll be stuck playing all week.
