Alien Ressurection. I hated how the game looked and played on my first try 15 years ago, but I gave it another chance and I ended up loving it. It does get a bit of getting used to at the start.

Also Goldeneye. We put money in common with a friend in the early 00's to buy an N64 with the game because of how highly praised it was and we had such buyers remorse we couldn't stop laughing. Laughing at how shitty the enemy models and their "photo realistic" faces looked.
I also gave it another chance some 20+ years later and once you get past the awful graphics it's a fun game.
