* ''[[Fahrenheit (2005 video game)]]''/''[[Fahrenheit (2005 video game)]]''. Well written and immersive until about two thirds through the game, at which point it goes ''absolutely batshit '''crazy'''''. [[Fahrenheit (2005 video game)|Check out the image on its page]].
* ''[[Star Ocean 1|Star Ocean]]'' is well paced at first, but when you expect you're halfway done, you get sent to an [[Ass Pull]] final dungeon and introduced to a new (final) villain who monologues, explaining what would have been the second half of the game.
* ''[[Dark Void]]'' is perhaps worse than Fahrenheit. The first third of the game preps you on [[Take Cover|cover-based shooting]] and eases you into the eccentricities - hovering, vertical cover, etc... before giving you the promised [[Jet Pack]]. The second third is your cannonball playground, though it feels sparse at times, as if there's story you're missing - There's a level that was obviously supposed to be a [[Hub Level]], but you just move from there to the next stages via [[Time Skip]]s. The final third has two awesome stages - one where you blow the s#!+ out of a monster the size of Manhattan ''while inside its stomach'', and the final boss battle is an [[Old School Dogfighting|Old School Dogfight]] against a '''freaking three-headed dragon'''. Except... ''[[
{{quote|'''[[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]]''': ''The developers planned out a HUGE EPIC GAME, the various components of their studio started working on all the little bits of the HUGE EPIC GAME, and then they ran out of laundry powder or whatever it was and had to string together all the little unfinished bits into something vaguely sellable. They wrote a script for Lord of the Rings and ended up having to perform it with finger puppets.''}}
* ''[[Super Robot Wars L]]'', where the last 10 chapters (Out of 43) are basically "One chapter setting up a show's finale, another chapter doing said finale, repeat three more times, do the same for the [[Original Generation]] baddies", with little [[crossover]]ing going on other than [[Dancougar Nova|Moon WILL]] and [[Iczer One|Big Gold]]'s [[Villain Team-Up]] meaning they fight you [[Dual Boss]] style.
