Message: [QUOTE="RustySK, post: 146345, member: 1411"] Resident Evil 5 for me as well, actually - back in the day I really didn't like the action movie tone and found the gameplay really stressful, but when I replayed it a couple years later I had finally let go of my hope for a return to the days of fixed camera angle horror and of whatever tone I wanted the series to go for and suddenly the whole thing became one giant arcade shooter rollercoaster. Great stuff - also shockingly gorgeous to this day and I don't just mean Sheva! MT Framework was one hell of an engine. Another would be Final Fantasy XII - I absolutey loathed the pseudo-MMO gameplay on my first attempt, but when I replayed it many years later via the reworked International Zodiac version, the worldbuilding of Ivalice and the surprisingly entertaining political intrigue of the plot managed to tide me over until the combat clicked for me. I got super addicted to the game for a while and though I do still think that the combat depended too much on sheer stat/equipment optimization and needed way more active character abilities and a greater focus on positioning to really shine, the game deserved better than it got.
