Best line in a video game. (since system wars loves story more than gameplay)

If you browse in the Off-Topic section, you will find a few threads asking for forum goers' opinion about which movie line do they think is the best of all time.

Hence, I figured that it would make a nice topic if I asked the same question, but for video games, to the denizens here.

Please understand that this thread is not asking you to tell which game has the best writing ever; it is about which line is the best in video games.

What does that suppose to mean ? It means if you post a line, do so by writing down to which game it belongs.

Some games might have terrible "overall" writing; but it should not be surprising if those games have some of the best lines ever.

As for me, the best line is, without spoiling it, from Planescape: Torment final conversation. It's the longest option among few dialog choices given to us as an answer to the final boss' question. But of course this not astonishing as PT indeed has the best writing among video games as for now.

Another line is from yet another well-written game; Deus Ex. It's in the conversation that most players might miss during their first playthrough. It is not a compulsory one, but it is the best in the game. To hint you, the conversation is with a prototype A.I programmed by Morgan Everett and is located in a locked room.

What about you?

Oh, I bet these games are influenced by Vanquish too; in terms of awesome lines.

falcon punch probably.

Nobody mentioned the copyright infringement scene yet in sonic colors.

Here's the line anyway

No copyright law in the universe will stop me.This line spawned loads of youtube videos making fun of youtube.

"......................", Gordon Freeman.ferret-gamer

Fallout New Vegas - "Well, says No-bark, we got a chupacabra with an automatic weapon. And that's when they get real quiet, 'cause now they see the predicament we're in."

There are countless amazing quotes in Borderlands. Scooter in particular has some great lines.

"Lucky's an old buddy of mine - and by old buddy I mean a**hole that ruined my momma's girl parts. Sounds like he's in trouble so you go on ahead and try and keep him alive long enough so I can kill him at a later occasion."

i think its "blah blah blah secret plan. blah blah blah nuclear missle. blah blah blah your our only hope. blah blah blah we're counting on you." duty calls, the call of the storm.altairs_mentor

That game is not really a video game, but it is a video game paradoy that makes fun of the COD franchise mostly with a few exceptions(especially MW2).There were loads of other funny lines in that gamelike that last rank level message,the enemy that said that you couldn't stop him unless the game was in slow motion,when the soilder gets knocked out by the same guy's vehicle and he is dying.The USA is dominating line said by the evil bad guybefore he starts crying and the soilder has fireworks coming out of his arms is pretty funny too.

From Metro 2033:

"The thing about bad guys is that there's always a lot of talking before they get around to pulling the trigger." - Miller.

Don't know about the best, but I do know which one is the worst (little spoiler):

"Please don't tell me you're still brainwashed!" - BlackOps.

Like "Yeah I'm brainwashed to kill you AND TELL YOU I'M F*****G BRAINWASHED AND GOING TO KILL YOU".

The guy who wrote that should be dead.

Worst line ever.

I really dislike Scooter, but his lines are amazing.

I still remember the one "yeah I killed it, don't act like you didn't know" when talking about his dog I think. I know that I laugh at that moment >P

Yeah! Thatfour minute paradoy had epic lines like this onein it, but it's not really a game and can't be used in this thread to some extent.

"Fold back your skin and rub."

"Where?"

"...where you can fold your skin back."

Anything Glados says from Portal. She's hilarious

BioShock had some amazingly acted and written dialog. Andrew Ryan's introductory speech when you're on your way to Rapture is awesome and sets the stage for the things to come.

Brian Cox's speech from the opening cinematic of Killzone 2 is the epitome of a charismatic dictator got me amped up for the visceral war game that followed.

As far as comedic stuff goes, a lot of Jack Black's lines as Eddie in Brutal Legend were funny as well as some of the random dialog in DeathSpank.

"Dammit....WHY DO YOU THEY ALWAYS TAKE THE HOT ONES?!"

Lol I really dont know off the top of my head.

"Luck and I weren't on speaking terms." :)

Pretty much everything in Max Payne 1 and 2. AAllxxjjnn

Dat was some hillariously cheesy acting from the early PS1 days :)

On topic -"I Am Sinistar!","I Hunger!", "RUN RUN RUN!"

Also the are so many great lines by TF2 cast and by Portal's GladOS, they put Valve's own HL games to shame.

"I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda." - Big Smoke, Drive Thru mission in GTA: San Andreas :P

You fool! You gave cheese to a lactose intolerant volcano god! - Lemonhead,Curse of Monkey Island

You're an inspiration for birth control. - Duke Nukem, Duke Nukem 3D

Let's attack aggressively. - Lance,Contra III: The Alien Wars

War. War never changes. - Introduction,Fallout

[Not to be outdone] War has changed. - Solid Snake,MGS 4

Sorry, but our princess is in another castle! - Toad, Super Mario Bros.

Ahaha! Yes, I remember that.

""I am Andrew Ryan, and I am here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

'No,' says the man in Washington, 'it belongs to the poor.'
'No,' says the man in the Vatican, 'it belongs to God.'
'No,' says the man in Moscow, 'it belongs to everyone.'

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...

Rapture.

A city where the artist would not fear the censor,
where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality,
where the great would not be constrained by the small.

And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city, as well."

I didn't really give to much thought to that quote when playing the game, but that is pretty awesome. The quote, not the ideology.

Then please, kind sir, bestow upon me your infinite wisdom of those literary works in digital gaming that encompass all upon which we emotionally stand today. We can talk it over and be ripe with merriment! ;)

Apparently according to other people ITT, it's mediocre writing. :/

I agree. It needs more "Ramirez! Charlie Bravo! Stay Frosty Mike!".

It really set the mood for Rapture.

Now that we are talking full quotes, this one from Cryostasis is one of my favourites: (can't be bothered to type it all up, so here's a video of it)
