15 Video Games That Mock You For Playing On Easy Mode

10. Crash Bandicoot 2: Wrath Of Cortex

If you die more than five times in Crash Bandicoot 2: Wrath of Cortex, the game will just start handing you Aku Aku Masks (the equivalence of red mushrooms in Super Mario Bros.) until you're able to drag yourself to the nearest checkpoint.

While that alone isn't an outright mockery of the player, if you continue to die without without making any sort of progress, the game will transform the closest box into a checkpoint, as if it just completely ran out of patience with you.

While this isn't necessarily an easy mode, or a setting that you actively choose yourself, it is a thoroughly degrading punishment for continual failure. Like MGSV, the game gives you every opportunity to finish a given level; if you still can't make it work, that's nobody's fault but yours.
