Resident Evil 4 is probably the best example of this for me.
I'd never really gotten into the RE games, despite multiple attempts. My relationship with them was always one where I respected what they did and acknowledged why people liked them but they just didn't click for me overall.
I'd seen a preview video on Gamespot of RE4, the village section specifically and it was obvious they'd gone in a different direction with this one. I thought "cool" and then just kinda moved on without much thought.
Then a few weeks or even months down the line I happened to check what games released that day and RE4 was one of them. U was off work, I was bored and I hadn't bought a new game for a while so I just thought "fuck it" and headed out to pick it up.
To this day it's easily one of my top 5 games ever and I consider it a masterpiece.
