10 Video Games That Were Secretly Judging You The Whole Time

10. The Sorrow - Metal Gear Solid 3

The Metal Gear series has a pretty long history of quirky gimmicks that mess with the player outside of the usual scope of the game. We've seen it happen with Psycho Mantis famously reading the save history of your console and the End dying of old age if you don't play the game for at least a week.

Most of these gimmicks are added into the game for fun, but there is one in Metal Gear Solid 3 that actually uses its unique mechanic to call the player out for acting like a psychotic killer.

During the boss fight with the Sorrow, Snake is drugged and put into an illusion of a misty river. His goal is to chase after his opponent, but depending on his past actions, this task might be harder than expected.

During the hallucination sequence, Snake can be attacked by the ghosts of all the people he has killed in the game. Depending on how you were dispatching enemies up until that point, your journey through Sorrow's illusion will either be a brisk walk through an empty river or a desperate escape from an army of undead soldiers.
