Only characters can be The Scrappy; calling the game itself a "Scrappy" is misuse of the trope.

--> I don't know if it's better or worse that non-indie games mostly only exist as either incredibly high-budget triple-A experiences or mobile slot machines, with no middle ground in-between for mediocre genre trash. I'm generalizing of course, but it does feel like the whole midsection of gaming got sucked out sometime in the not-too-distant past, and the bottom rung largely became the domain of random garbage hucksters on Steam. A lot of that old stuff was major trash, but there was also something sort of comforting in the knowledge that those middle and budget (bad) tiers could even exist within a publisher's catalog. Not so much at the time, because when you're reviewing [=McFarlane=]'s Evil Prophecy and Robocop and Drake of the 99 Dragons, all you want is for developers to immediately stop making games like that. But in retrospect, it does feel like maybe we've lost something. Not something good, but something that felt like it should be there regardless.

* SoBadItsGood: Similarly to the VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames: The gameplay is undoubtedly terrible, but the cutscenes are ''vastly'' better despite being so cheesy.
* UncannyValley: The models of the characters are just as bad as the rest of the game, with Drake in particular looking like he has no teeth and regularly having a weird, slack-jawed expression on his face. The poor implementation of the lock-on ability also means that Drake's arms flail wildly during gameplay and bend and contort in impossible directions; not only does Drake's death animation have him lift his arms (at awkward angles, natch) in vain as he tries to sit back up, this sometimes glitches and causes said arms to aim at gameplay targets ''after he's dead''.
