Xenogears.

I enjoyed the game over all, but the second disk is a lot less impressive than the first.

Nah, my category theory professor also apparently liked Chapters 5-8. Personally I don't see why but to each their own I guess.

I don't agree with this and don't understand where this comes from.

I was nothing but ecstatic to learn I was only halfway through after beating O&S.

the areas were weaker after Anor Londo, and the bosses were lame, with the exception of Gwyn, IMO.

The bosses were lame? You were literally going after the gods themselves from the opening cinematic.

Persona 5

Not that the second half is bad, but the first two or three dungeons/stories are the peak of the game IMO.

Dragon Age 2

For the first half, the extreme repetitiveness of the scenery is still tolerable, toward the end of the game it starts to wear on your mind a LOT.

Thank God I had those two DLC questlines to save me midway through Act 3 with a breath of fresh air, I might have quit and never finished the game if not for that.

The original Deus Ex. Well, more the last third, but seeing as that's part of the second half, it probably still applies. The game basically becomes a lot more linear and actiony later on (going against the typical Deus Ex formula of choice, exploration, dialogue, etc.). It's fairly obvious that development for that stage of the game was rushed. Much more was planned, like White House and moon areas.

Despite that, it's still my favorite game.

The problem with Dark Souls is Lost Izalith being incomplete. Its the only flaw.

Mass Effect 2, it was just the same thing as the first half which was disappointing since the first game was so grand in scale and story and then the second one was like "lol assemble your crew for 80 hours".

Yeah, P5 takes sort of a dip around the 4th and 5th dungeon (especially 5th) but then it picks back up at the 6th dungeon. Game felt like a rollercoaster with numerous highs and lows.

Xenogears. Really if the second disk was as good as the first disk it would be the greatest game ever.

It's still a solid game overall, but the later levels don't compare to the early ones.

Resident Evil 4

The castle had an opportunity to be creepy, but it was clean and better lit than my living room during Christmas. The island just pissed all over the whole experience though.
