10 More Video Game Bosses That React To You Being A Jerk

9. The Sorrow - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Of course we couldn't make this list without including at least one of Hideo Kojima's many fourth wall-breaking boss fights. 

Later on in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, players will encounter the Cobra Unit member known as The Sorrow - a spirit medium who is able to communicate with the dead.

As such, this isn't so much a traditional boss fight as the game holding a mirror up to the atrocities the player may or may not have committed throughout the game.

The "battle" consists of players walking down a long river and encountering the ghosts of everyone they've killed so far, from bosses to regular mooks. 

Given that Snake Eater heavily encourages players to go the non-lethal route, those who've instead gone Full Rambo in their playthrough will pay for their bloodthirstiness by being forced to sit through a parade of all the lives they've taken.

While non-lethal players can get through the encounter in about three minutes, it'll take around 10 if you've been slaughtering every single soldier you've come across. Naughty naughty.
