The Outsider in Dishonored has some serious “I’m not mad, just disappointed” vibes. When you talk with him after eliminating a target non lethally he’s fascinated by your cleverness. If you just kill your target he seems bored

I have a theory that him giving Daud powers was him playing the long game: Outsider was bored, but also bored of being a god. Daud sets off a chain of reactions that eventually culminates in Death of the Outsider.

The main thing that comes to my mind when I think about this title is Ninja Gaiden Black.

If you choose to un-heroic choices like abandoning Arcuied alone in the hotel and running away to save your life, the game gives you a bad ending and one of the characters Ciel, comes in her Teacher Ciel form and explains to you about how what you just did was so UNHEROIC. One more game comes to my mind is MGS V. If you harm your crew in any shape or form, miller/ocelot will tell you in the game over screen that, "Maybe you are not the big boss we hoped you to be" or something.

Don't forget FMV games from the 90's. They _loved_ having the actors call you out before you got a game over.

Arkham Knight also had the ability to skip one of the Riddler challenges by hitting a button to lower a gate. Only downside is that you have to listen to Riddler gloating.

[@Zaalpe]

I wasn't even thinking about that when I was probing Uranus. I just probed every planet I came across just in case it had one last decent deposit. When Edi responded with disappointment I didn't understand until she said "probing Uranus." Then I giggled.

[@nicholascross3557]

In the original Deus Ex, when you first enter UNATCO HQ the game is fine with you searching everywhere for any loot items... except the ladies toilet which is occupied at the time. Should you do so you get a very much "not angry, just disappointed" talking to from your boss.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

And this continued (or rather happened before) in Human Revolution.

[@azuredragoon2054]

In Elden Ring, you might run across a very large turtle with a pope hat, in the Church of Vows. You could attack him like you can most other NPCs. But unlike every other NPC in the game, he will brush it off and tell you "learn to master your emotions". You can feel just how much his disappointment fills his words as he uses it as a means to remind you that hurting NPCs is often a VERY bad decision in Soulsborne games.

An idea for the videos, since there's been so many remasters how about "Games Remastered That Were Worth It" or "Games Remastered That Were Not Worth It"

In Detroit: Become human, there’s a part of the story where you can choose to save or kill off all of the main characters. If you choose to kill them, the game ends and the lady in the lobby screen will scold you for killing them.

Great list. I would suggest Sly Cooper 1 & 2. (Sly Racoon for all you Brits.) There is a safe in every level and you need all the clue bottles to open the safe. But if you try to open it without all the clues Bentley would say you still need them all. Even if you cheated and got all the combinations online, the safe wouldn’t open.

Good thing none of my games weren’t angry, Idk how I’d be able to live with myself if my games were angry at me.

In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, using Force Persuade to get more money from someone and having Bastila or Juhani in the party. They really weren't keen on me doing that and they made it clear to me every time I did it, and I did it at almost every opportunity. Except for that lady in Anchorhead. I only robbed her in my second (dark side) playthrough and I still carry that regret.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

This gets all the more worse with Kreia come the sequel. Gotta say, she has a morbid point about the abuse of mind tricks. ...Yeah, another reason as to why I only do evil playthroughs for completionist's sake... and then there's that Ithorian rookie swoop racer back on Manaan. Never wanted to deprive him of his dreams and ambitions unless I had no choice.

[@sofaericsson6392]

@@michaelandreipalon359 she has a morbid point about almost everything you do. The entire time I was playing the game (both DS and LS sides) I felt like Kreia was here just to stop me from playing. Ironic that she says 'apathy is death' but pushes you towards it.

[@Gingeneer95]

Hollow Knight's fight with Troupe Master Grimm comes to mind. If you attack him before he is finished bowing then he'll scream at you and go into his screen filling bullet hell attack.

[@IamaPERSON]

Is it possible to beat him like that?

[@Gingeneer95]

@@IamaPERSON it's possible to beat him still yeah. The attack is avoidable with some clever jumps and dashes. Just makes the start of the fight a bit more annoying.

[@IamaPERSON]

@@Gingeneer95 oh, so it's only at the start. It would have been cool if that was a full, alternative fight, with an achievement/trophy for winning

[@Gingeneer95]

@@IamaPERSON it's an attack that will always happen in every fight with Grimm. Happens at 75%, 50% and 25% health I think. But he gets angry if you don't show him some respect at the start of the fight, little detail that gives him more character.

@@Gingeneer95 that's actually really cool! Reminds me of another part of a game

The entire series of Space quest should be on here as well. One of my favorites was when you use to "taste" icon on some items. "How cool you are"

[@reddevil9312]

Modern Warfare 2019 has one of these. Clearing a house and coming across civilians, you can shoot them, even though the game gets onto you for it. There's even... babies in cribs. And you can shoot them. It gets you a game over at first, but do it too many times, and the games kicks you to the main menu after asking a very valid question: "Are you serious?"

Another Sports Game Commentary one: Sega's NFL 2K5. If you, as the quarterback, were to take the ball and start backwards, if you go far enough the commentators will start yelling things like "What're you doing" and "get the dog away from the controller".

[@jewelthekitty4435]

Another example is Paper Mario’s Whacka. A friendly mole who sits there smiling, and you can talk to them or if you’re a jerk, jump on their head which makes them cry and gives you a Whacka bump. If you do it enough times, whacka becomes confused and starts talking strangely. Sure does make you feel bad
