10 Genius Ways Video Games Punished You For Killing

10. A Demonic Visage - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

The Metal Gear solid franchise has always had a few tricks up its sleeve when it comes to telling players off for giving in to their more bloodthirsty impulses. So, with this entry you get two for the price of one.

The first genius punishment for leaving a trail of bodies in your wake comes in Metal Gear Solid 3, a game which, well, literally confronts you with that trail of bodies. In this beloved Big Boss prequel you encounter The Sorrow late in the game, a supernatural character who haunts you on a long trek through the spirit world. Here you're confronted by the souls of the people you've killed, who show up as ghostly figures. If you've been trigger happy previously, this can turn into on laborious sequence.

MGS V similarly punishes players for killing people by awarding them with Demon Points. The more kills you rack up, the more demonic playable character Venom Snake becomes. I mean this literally, as the devil horn on your head (in-lore this is a bit of lodged shrapnel) grows with the amount of evil actions accomplished.
