anti-gamer
games that, at least partially, have anti-player sentiments, or purposefully subvert the player's desires/expectations.

@ObscureEgg i guess the best way i can describe it is like, going against what the player wants to send a message
@alenaphoenix Ah, makes sense,
Lots I could conjure here but I dont want to overwhelm...may I suggest Takeshi's Challenge?
drakengard 1
added both! :)
Wii sports cause they make you stop playing to tell you to go outside lol
@moschidae i honestly cant tell if thats serious but its funny as fuck so im adding it
No More Heroes takes "anti-player" as a mission statement, feel like it would be a good addition here
Flower sun and rain. Easily

bioshock?? wdym
@Snowing i don't think i can use spoiler tags here but THAT twist. it's up for interpretation but i thought i'd add it since a lot of people seem to agree
i added explanations for everything i've played here so there will hopefully be less confusion
tried to keep it spoiler free as well mostly
peepee poopoo
The amount of repetitive content in NieR combined with the story only gets more depressing with the more time you put into it
if you wanna add another suda51 game id suggest the 25th ward: the silver case
The Lost World: Jurassic Park game on the PS1 has the reward for 100%ing the game be an FMV of Jeff Goldblum essentially calling you a smelly nerd for doing it and to touch grass.
Iji has the titular character slowly lose her mind if you just kill the enemies you come across like a regular action game.
I haven't played it but I knew Contact ends with the protag fighting you, the player, to be free of you. Deltarune is also mostly likely building up to this too and there's also OFF.

Very cool list!! I suggest Danganronpa V3.

Contact mentioned break out the 40s
I haven’t played these but I think OneShot and death stranding would fit here
Breath of the Wild (and I assume Tears of the Kingdom? Not sure) poking fun at the player for getting every Korok Seed by giving them a large poop that does nothing.
This kind of thing is in a lot of games, but I'll bring up Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League for making the player's head blow up if they leave the mission area for too long.
Surprised no one's mentioned Mr. Resetti from Animal Crossing who would reprimand the player for resetting or turning the game off without saving.
Any game that uses amiibo I think applies (unfortunately, as I'm an amiibo collector), but I'll bring special attention to Twilight Princess HD which locked and entire enemy gauntlet and upgrade behind the Wolf Link amiibo.

@electrode oooo good picks! i'll add those rn
i dont really think that amiibo thing fits what im talking about here tho
i really like that weve gone from like metafictional commentary on the medium itself to fucking collectible poop
Deltarune isn't speculation, it meets the requirements pretty much straight away!
@Mr_Finn_McCool rlly? from what i played i dont remember anything like that can u be more specific
I think the ending of the Arcade version of The Ninja Warriors falls into this. Won't spoil it, but it fits!
