10 Video Games That Only Got Started At The End

10. Chaos Vincent - Dirge Of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII

Dirge of Cerberus might be the most beige and underwhelming game in the entire Final Fantasy franchise, a painfully generic third-person shooter starring Final Fantasy VII's cult favourite character Vincent Valentine.

Between its linearity, its dull map design, and totally unremarkable combat, it felt like an also-ran Devil May Cry knock-off given a last-minute franchise branding.

That is, except, for the final half-hour of the game's 10-hour campaign, where Vincent is transformed into his badass final form, Chaos.

This allows Vincent to hover, jump further, perform hugely powerful combo attacks, and wield the ultra-powerful gun known as Death Penalty, basically giving the game a last-minute injection of awesome long after most players had written it off as a whole lotta nothing.

Had the player been allowed to shift into Chaos form throughout the previous 95% of the game, perhaps it wouldn't have felt like such a soulless slog.
