Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Such a good game, but so many glitches, a shoddy stealth/combat system and repetitive enemies. But still such a fun game overall. The scenarios and general cast is worthy of the World of Darkness and some of the text options are just hilarious. And the haunted hotel level was incredibly scary despite so little happening.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. The atmosphere is amazing, the story is great, the characters are interesting, awesome humor, you have several options to solve quests without the run and gun method being the most profitable.
The bad? Riddled with bugs, the combat system is severely lacking and the end of the game turns into a slugfest, which with this poor combat system isn't fun.
Here, here! I also loved Bloodlines despite it being a broken piece of shit with quests that didn't work. My thing about the game was the variety of gameplay. Haunted house level, FPS level, zombeez are eat mah brainz level, etc.
A great game that suffered from a similar pattern was Arcanum, an old PC rpg made by the same dev (troika). It was this wicked awesome steampunk game where you could make fantasy characters with magic or steam (lol) or whatever you wanted.
I too, loved VTMB. The textures kinda got screwed up, but WESP5 fixed alot of the quests. The atmosphere was awesome, the single hub soundtrack was really good, and the malkavian playthrough is hilarious.
EDIT: Also Psi-Ops.If you played the ps2 version, the controls were surprisingly good, the story was...errr decent, and the training room was barrels of fun...literally. TK surfing, while hard to maintain, was a proud display of what a physics engine can do, and the powers were ranged and fun to use.
