I'm sort of the same but I also played through it again and enjoyed it the second time. My expectations were rock bottom going into ff15 the second time, but that let me appreciate it for what it actually was rather than what I wanted it to be. I had a similar experience with FFX-2, hated it the first time then came back a couple of years later with zero expectations and enjoyed it.

At what point do you not like a game and go:”you know what, that’s wasn’t fun let’s do it again”?

When I have a craving for a specific genre and haven't played the game in years. I can always stop playing it if I find it shit again the second time. Knowing the flaws before you start helps because you don't get fixated on them. Like instead of being annoyed how ff13 was not open world, I know it's going to be linear and it doesn't bother me. Replaying it with the right expectations stops me caring about the shit parts so I can focus on the good parts.
