In God of War 2005 inside Pandora's Temple and during the Challenge of Poseidon Kratos comes to an impassable door at the far end of a small room, blocking his progress. On the door is a graven image of Poseidon and a riddle carved into the door: "Sacrifice the ultimate to continue your quest." In the same room is this:
The absolute despair and hopelessness in this moment, and the events the immediately follow it, left a huge mark on me. I am not exaggerating when I say I experienced a shift in my taste in entertainment when I played this.
MGS4:
The way Snake brushes off the things he has done in the past, it almost implies a sense of regret about the way his life has unfolded, even though he could not have lived it any other way.
