General Gaming Discussion / "complicated relationship" games or franchises?

This probably sounds weird but have you ever had something that you just, never could really tell if you liked something or not. Wether this be for a single game or an entire series, What's something you always had mixed or very complicated feelings with? Something you couldn't get a good concrete settlement on for at least a good amount of time.
For me, It's been Mega Man (At least the mainline Classic series) in general. While I've grown to like the series more over time, for a majority of my life I honestly could never tell if I genuinely enjoyed the games or not. And considering how the fanbase was during the 2000's to early 2010's, I honestly kept flip-flopping on my opinion and didn't really know how to express myself. That is, of course: until now. These days I'm much more open about which games I actually find fun, And came to understand why with my "modernist" attitude on games. Ever since then, I've considered myself an avid fan at best, which helps considering a lot more people these days I find relate to my tastes.
In the end, I realized I did like the series. Just... a lot differently than other people online during my childhood.

- -I think the first two games aged poorly
-I think 4-8 were when the series was really got enjoyable for me
-I wasn't a fan of the direction 9 and 10 took
-11 more or less was the grand return I was long hoping for.
In the end, I realized I did like the series. Just... a lot differently than other people online during my childhood.
