No, it is not. However, owning a game for several years, giving it several chances, not liking it, then coming back to it later and enjoying it is another thing altogether. I don't need to finish the game to have a valid opinion, after all, who ever finishes games they don't like?
In regards to Star Wars, you seem stuck on the point that my current opinion is not the same as my first impression and you assume you know the reason for it, despite me telling you exactly why that is. Just because critics didn't like it had nothing to do with the eventual erosion of my opinion. It had more to do with the repeated viewings I was subject to after it's DVD release. It made me see the same damned thing over and over again, so not only was I tired of it tasting like beans, I was less inclined to have a favorable opinion of a movie that was okay but is now forced down my throat. AOTC is HARDLY the only movie that has affected me that way.
Face it, my friend: I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan. Therefore, I don't have to unquestionably adore everything with the logo on it. And I am allowed to change my opinion on whatever I want, for whatever reason I desire. If I were not, chances are there's no way in hell I'd be running Tendo City. :)
