Giving games a (second) chance
I played Borderlands and I didn't like the game, what's worse is that I think the game is boring and I eventually stopped playing because I couldn't find the motivation to keep on playing. That's pretty bad, because getting stuck in a game might be a good reason why you stop playing a game but when you lack the motivation because a game is just so boring then what makes you ever interested in playing that game again?
Games deserve a (second) chance?
I can be pretty harsh when it comes to games, when I don't like a game then I make no secret of it and when something bothers me in a game then I'll be certain to mention that! But sometimes there are games I haven't even played and then it's pretty dumb to talk shit about those games. Which is why I usually don't do that, but I do avoid games I have a bad feeling about. Because of that feeling I never played Borderlands 2 or Borderlands: the pre-sequel. Because I had such a bad time in Borderlands I just didn't think I would like these two games, but thanks to having a great time in the game Tales of the Borderlands (from Telltale Games) I decided to give these two games a chance and I was pleasantly surprised. Sure there are still moments I'm not a big fan of, for example going back to the same area for a mission and all the enemies (even some bosses) are back, but the humour in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: the pre-sequel really makes both games worth checking out. I'd say even someone that isn't really into first person shooters might have a great time thanks to the hilarious moments in those games and interesting characters you meet. So I would like to say that games can sometimes surprise you and it's worth it to take a chance every now and then, but it's still smart to do your homework and gather some information before you buy a game. Taking a chance is one thing but diving into a game you know nothing about is a bit risky in my opinion.
So how do you know if you'll like a game or not?
It's pretty much a gamble, unless you get a chance to play the game before you buy it. Because no matter how many trailers you watch or how much gameplay you see it's really your own personal experience with the game that truly determines wether you like a game or not. If you can participate in an open beta for a game you're interested in then you should do that, get some experience with that game and then you can decide for yourself if you're interested in that game or not. Sometimes games also have a demo that you can download for free and you can check the game out, which is also something that can help you decide if you want to buy a game or not. For example Final Fantasy XV did that and gave you a demo that helped you get familiar with the controls and how everything works. If a game doesn't have an open beta or a demo you can play then it's a good idea to get a lot of information with trailers, gameplay videos, articles in game magazines that are actually objective and listen to feedback from people that have an opinion that you value. Hopefully that all leads to a clear imagine of what you can expect with a game you're interested in. In the end it will always be a bit of a gamble, but you can make things a bit less risky by getting a lot of information and if possible some experience with the games you're interested in buying.
