10 Video Games People HATED (Until They Didn't)

10. Destiny

Although it released to critical praise, the original incarnation of Destiny didn't sit that well with players.

Here was the big, bombastic new release from Halo developers Bungie, a new, shared-universe multiplayer shooter. On the surface it seemed pretty good: the gunplay was tight and precise, and the movement mechanics and new world seemed fun to explore.

However, when you got to the end, Destiny had a real problem. The fun was gone. Instead you got quite a shallow endgame that was little more than a repetitive grind, and players rapidly started to become fed up with a game they were meant to be playing for years to come.

In response to this, Bungie made several expansions and patches for Destiny that slowly drip-fed new and exciting raids into the proceedings, meaning its reception over time got steadily better and better.

With the Taken King expansion, they also completely binned off Peter Dinklage as your AI companion Ghost in favour of Nolan North, which we're sure we can all agree on being a much better change and no longer having to listen to Dinklage waffling on about moons.
