In recent memory:

Assassin's Creed - I saw where it was going after the third kill, I just forced myself to play through it all to have a very good justification to hate it and to save my brother (who owned it) from playing it. He took my advice and sold it.

Grand Theft Auto 4- Around 20% complete or maybe a little less I started to lose interest in the game, but I gave it its chance, I wanted to be sure so I forced myself 'til I was over 51%, then I just couldn't take it anymore.

Final Fantasy XII

I did it for the story.  I really hated the combat system and that just killed it for me.  But I wanted to see how the story went so I sucked it up and kept going.

 

Wow. IMO, the story was the worst thing about the game. I could predict everything right from the beginning. It was actually the gameplay that got me through. Never has there been any other FF game (at least from the ps era) where the final boss was obvious from the first cutscene

Yes. Exactly what twists were there again? After realizing Vayne's thirst for power, I had the feeling he was probably going to do a lot worse to get it. His father's death wasn't a surprise. i can't think of anything else that comes remotely close to a twist.

....Venat wasn't even in the script for the game's first ten hours and they were the single most important figure in the story.

What are you trying to pull?

I think the twists in that game occurred in the first 20 minutes when they kept changing your main character.  I think one of the reasons I didn't get attached to Vaan (other than he was a terrible character) was that for the first 30 minutes of playing I kept expecting him to die and I would start playing someone else.

I mean really, sorry to bitch a lot about FF tonight, but what a shitty thing to do the player.  Introduce the princess lady and the knight, kill them, introduce the kid, kill him off, and then start as Vaan.
