Wanted to stir up some interesting discussion... try and add some details to make it interesting
For me, it's Star Wars: Empire at War... I got this for free back in the day (no, not pirating ), and I was so excited since it was being called the best Star Wars RTS and had decent preview buzz. I played it, and well, it just wasn't doing anything for me. It was more complicated than it needed to be, both sides seemed pretty similar, and well, I shelved it for a long time.
Fast forward to present time, and I'm getting ready to move, so I'm selling a lot of my old PC games I don't play... and I come across Empire at War again. I figure maybe I'll give it one more shot. This time, it doesn't seem so bad, I'm playing a campaign, things are going great! Until I found two flaw's that turned me off of the game - land battles were pretty boring, and the Emperor absoutely DESTROYS everyone! His Force Lightning destroys whole platoons, and then he can use Force Persuasion to get anyone to fight for him! I took out 4 planets with just the Emperor.
So, that's pretty much the one game I've kept and tried to get into twice, and I don't think the third time will be a charm. Has anyone else ever had a game that didn't get into the first time, but kept for some reason, and tried again and still didn't like it? Or maybe they suddenly liked it
