* In the ''[[Command and Conquer]]'' series, when a faction gains access to the [[Tank Goodness|Mammoth Tank]], it tends to replace their basic tank because of how much stronger it is (the Mammoth Tank in C&C3 can take on 3 of GDI's basic tanks and still win). Outside of the Mammoth Tanks, in more recent games, every factions has some advanced tank or [[Humongous Mecha]] that is stronger then their basic tank. However, using advanced tanks in place of the basic ones isn't something universally done, because they cost a lot more, and are very slow. Some people actually prefer to stick with the basic tanks.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' it doesn't really matter which weapon you have, as your power mostly depends on which magic you junction to your stats.
* In ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'', this happens with two fights that immediately follow each other. {{spoiler|You use the seven [[MacGuffin|MacGuffins]] that you spent most of the game collecting to deactivate [[Big Bad|Bowser's]] invulnerability that he gets from his super [[MacGuffin]]. You beat him, and he retreats to the roof. You go to fight him there, he activates his invulnerability again, you use the same move to deactivate it that worked a few minutes ago, and... Plink! "Ha ha, you moron! That weak move doesn't affect me anymore!" Fortunately, [[
* Averted in ''[[Descent]]'': The starting "laser" - even without any upgrades - does more damage per shot than almost every other gun in the game. Other weapons have a better rate of fire (allowing you to kill things quicker) and/or faster/multiple projectiles (making it easier to hit things at long range), but against easy-to-hit opponents that aren't so dangerous you need to kill them ''now'', the laser is still effective, and is the most efficient energy weapon in the game.
* [[Dragon Age]] averts this by making some of the basic tier talents and spells (Shield Bash, Winter's Grasp, Heal, Stealth, Dirty Fighting, need I go on?) useful throughout the entire game.
