10 Long Video Games That Fall Apart At The VERY End

10. Borderlands

It may seem obvious now that Borderlands likes to try and subvert expectations and mess with players, in 2009 it wasn't something players were expecting.

The first game just a great job in luring in players, as treasure hunters, with the promise of untold wealth and whatnot at the heart of its Vault. Gamers have had looters before, with the likes of Diablo and Warcraft, but not so much in the shooter genre. Hence, looter-shooter was born.

For its debut, Borderlands is a big game, even without its DLC. Players can expect to put a good thirty hours in if they want to finish every quest and explore the full potential of the skill system. They won't get all the weapons though, that's for sure.

So, naturally, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that the endgame payoff would excel what Borderlands has already established.

It doesn't, though, culminating in a boring arena boss fight with a generic tentacled monster thing. Oh, and some randomised loot that isn't any better or worse than what could potentially be picked up throughout the game.
