Annoying stuff in games you eventually grew fond of

[StaceyPowers]

Has there ever been something in a video game that you initially found obnoxious, but later grew to like?

For example, when I first started playing Dragon Age: Origins, I could not stand the character voice I had picked (I believe it is the one which is the “aggressive” female voice). The character was constantly shouting this tedious line in combat: “Let me get you a ladder so you can get off my back!”

I was so peeved I almost went back and started over just to replace the voice, and was so confused when my friend told me she loves all the character voices. But I was able to tune it out after a while, and blessedly, the character stopped saying the line 40 times a minute after a while for whatever reason.

Anyway, I got used to it, and now, I actually miss it sometimes =D And I still say “Let me get you a ladder” whenever someone is nagging me about something IRL.

What stuff that once annoyed you in video games became something you liked?

"I am going to ask you to stop that... shouting...is making people nervous" - When a guard in Skyrim said this to me at first I was a bit annoyed but after a while I didn't mind it at all.

Same here - at first I used to be like "I'm the freaking Dragonborn. What do you expect me to do - whisper?"

Fallout 3 and New Vegas, the combat being slow. I remember that when I first played it I was like this is the worst FPS mechanics ever, combat was slow and there wasnt enough action. But after a couple of years after days of playing COD or Halo sometimes I feel like I want a break and chill in my couch playing a FPS that doesnt ask too much of my reflexes like Fallout.😆

Earthworm Jim 2. When he picks up an item he always yells out "Groovy!" and when he gets hit he always lets out a blood curdling scream. At first it was annoying, but now I just laugh my ass off.

I tend to hate the speed attacks in some characters but I kind of starting to like it.
