Game development can often be a compromise when it comes to budget, or time. Meaning large amount sof the game originally meant to be included are removed. Guru Larry takes a look at five (well, seven) such examples...

And yes, before you ask, I'm "That Guru Larry" that was on TV 😂

Imagine buying a copy for marble madness 15 years after it came out and only having 3 stages.

Atlus cut the entire Snow Queen storyline from the Western release of Persona. Snow Queen wasn't just some side arc, it was an entire alternate main storyline.

Mankind Divided raised a dozen questions and effectively answered none of them. I genuinely reached the final boss thinking that there was going to be another 5 hours of game after it and I remember just sitting there with an AVGN open-mouthed expression as it slowly faded to credits.

Asura’s Wrath’s pre-DLC ending wasn’t even an ending, it has a super-egregious cliffhanger that just makes the DLC all the more heinous

I half expected Shadow of the Colossus to show up. That game was originally supposed to have double the number of colossi, but they were cut due to hardware limitations.

Phantom Pain still stings to this day. I loved that game so much and knowing that half of it got cut and will probably never be completed or revisited really burns me up

Ah yes Capcoms infamous Disc Locked Content. Gundam Versus on PS4 is a prime example since much of the roster have to be bought.

I really hope Asura's Wrath gets a re-release with all the dlc included.

I swear that "But......hello youuuuuuuuuu" gets slower every time. There's going to come a point where it just drags out for a whole twenty seconds, and I can't wait.

Honestly such a shame about Mankind Divided. For all the mishandling of that game (the last minute shoehorned in microtransactions which were probably the most useless attempt at microtransactions ever and the godawful marketing with shit like Augment your Preorder )I still thought the actual game was great and would have loved a sequel.

Here's to you, Big Boss. The last and final moment is yours. The agony is your triumph.

Asura: I got 1/3rd of my game cutted.

Raziel: First time?

Capcom was being notorious for this back during the 2010's.

Asura's Wrath was essentially a setup of what was yet to come. In other words, Street Fighter X Tekken.

Anachronox: 2nd half of the game was planned to be released as a sequel and then the developers were fired before the game even released
Toonstruck: 2nd half of the game was planned to be released as a sequel due to the amount of animation in the game causing massive delays and then the game flopped
Vexx: What was going to be a sprawling open-world collectathon platformer had half the content and virtually all of its story cut and the pieces of the game that were complete stitched together and split into traditional levels in the last year of development because of Acclaim's financial issues
