Does anyone kind of like it when games mock the players?

For being a bit crap at the whole 'gameplay' thing?

Seriously, I always loved that in some games. Like how in Donkey Kong Country, Cranky Kong was so brutally honest about everything:

Crash into too many things and even this stuff can't save you!

"My powerful potions will give you abilities you've never dreamed of and certainly don't deserve, assuming of course you can afford my modest asking fee. Now don't you go asking me for a potion of gameplay, as even my genius can't rescue this game from its rightful destiny in the bargain bin.

Tough luck kid. I've been told to keep my mouth shut, as they want to keep all the good stuff for a money-making strategy guide. I'm sure some of it will appear on the newfangled 'internet' thing as well, so I suggest you take a look-see there. You could also ask your friends, assuming of course you've got any. If all else fails, you'll just have to play better.

Why are you falling into holes anyway?

He's probably the best game journalist in existence, LOL. And he's fictional...

So what do you think about games that actively mock the player or their efforts?
