When I think of games mocking the medium, Metal Gear Solid 2 is one of the first that comes to mind.
Just about nothing escapes mockery - player avatars, escapism, "virtual training," the idea and redundancy of sequels, even the contrivance that is the final boss. Even as Raiden is able to destroy literally a couple dozen Metal Gear and is basically way better than Snake, he still gets stripped naked and mind-raped and constantly reminded of how uncool he is in comparison to Snake.
Some of its mockery was even way ahead of its time - play the game now and tell me that the Patriots' evil plan wasn't to stop Twitter from existing.
I also think of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and its utterly savage destruction of awful fancharacters.
