* The final battle of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', as depicted in ''Another Century's Episode: R'', is just as bad if not worse. The original ''Macross'' finale was depicted in [=ACE2=] as two stages of chaotic battle with the Zentraedi horde before the final stage as described above. ''Frontier'''s final battle is all one stage, consisting of three or four RailShooter sequences sandwiched between several long unskippable {{Cut Scene}}s (which spawned the infamous "[[GratuitousEnglish NOT SKIP MOVIE]]" or "NSM" [[MemeticMutation meme]] in Japan) that show the battle playing out almost exactly as it did in the original anime, complete with Alto finishing BigBad [[spoiler:Grace O'Connor]] himself. Overall, the impact of non-''Frontier'' characters is entirely negligible, which is ComicallyMissingThePoint of ''ACE'' (and its progenitor ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'').

* The SNES ''Videogame/Alien3'' builds up to a confrontation with the Alien Queen, but when you actually reach her there's just a cut scene of Ripley forcing her into a smelting vat. AWinnerIsYou!

** ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' has [[spoiler:E.M.M.I.-[=07PB=], the final E.M.M.I. in Hanubia. You enter the zone, expecting to have to run from it until you reach the Central Unit, fight it as a boss, get the Omega Cannon, and kill the E.M.M.I. just as before.]] Only to have it barge right into the room you're in and pin Samus down in a cutscene. She kills it in said cutscene by [[spoiler:draining it with her newfound Metroid power.]]

* In the Platform/NintendoDS version of ''VideoGame/LegoStarWars: The Complete Saga'', there's a particularly bad example. When you complete the first level of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', it rushes through the scenes on Greivous' ship and shows a ''very'' short scene where Count Dooku dies. It's just the beheading. That's all.

* In ''VideoGame/LegoStarWars: The Skywaker Saga'', [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Qui-Gon's fight with Darth Maul on Tatooine]], [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Mace Windu and Kit Fisto's attempt to arrest Chancellor Palpatine]], [[Film/ANewHope Obi-Wan's duel with Darth Vader on the Death Star]], and [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Luke's fight with the Wampa on Hoth]] are merely cutscenes. The final battle with Palpatine in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' is a series of [=QTEs=] in which Rey blocks and then overpowers his Force Lightning.

* ''VideoGame/MissionImpossibleKonami'': The first boss you encounter is an old man in a wheelchair. Before you can even move, he ends up falling through a trap door in the floor, ending the stage without you having to do anything.
