A videogame Super-Trope. Videogames tend to give you awesome stuff to play with and immediately take it back, giving you little to no time for playing with it, be it awesome and flashy Infinity+1 Sword which you get to kill the final boss, an interesting and powerful character or a tank you get for only one mission. Very common in Class and Level System RPGs, if you get your final levels and most powerful skills near the very end of the game.
