The best video game quotes of all time - GamesRadar

https://www.gamesradar.com/best-video-game-quotes-all-time/

I thought this was an interesting topic, considering we don't really talk about writing in video games. What do you think of this list, SW? I think 100 is kind of tough to do. There are so many games out there. A lot of my favorite quotes come from the original Metal Gear Solid. Here is one: "Solid Snake: A strong man doesn't need to read the future, he makes his own." What about you? Doesn't have to be what's on the list.

!

A good Magus quote from Chrono Trigger:

“Ah...! The Masamune!!! I bet you're just dying to use it! The black wind begins to blow... Okay... give me your best shot... If you're prepared for the void!”

I just love some villainy quotes lol. Good topic BTW TC :)

Surprised that there were no Resident Evil quotes.

He came, he saw, he sucked c***. A bandit quote from a mod for one of the STALKER games.

I like Willis Huntley in the Far Cry games.

Willis Huntley in Far Cry 4 describing Ajay: "An American on the inside, but useful on the outside"

Willis Huntley describing Jason Brody (Far Cry 3) to Ajay: "Way better than that SoCal douchebag I was babysitting on my last op"

Willis Huntley in Far Cry 5 to junior deputy: "Sorry kid. I've got bigger fish to fry and this little bearded uprising is suddenly below my pay grade"

" I have a plan"- Dutch van der Linde

• "Tumbling, burning with white hot fire, I plunged into the depths of the abyss. Unspeakable pain, relentless agony, time ceased to exist.

  Only this torture and a deepening hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this hell. An eternity passed and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness.

  The descent had destroyed me, and yet, I lived."

Soul Reavers dialogue was too good for gaming.

Divinity Original Sin: Cheese Vendor

Some of my favorites -

Skies of Arcadia:

• "Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit."
• ''If you lose sight of one dream, replace it with another."
• "Maybe losing hope because you're afraid of the future is the same as living life with your eyes closed because you're afraid to see the truth."
• "Everyone has their limits, their codes, their morals. But everyone also has a weakness. If you find that weakness and exploit it, those limits, codes, and morals seem to fade away."

Yakuza:

• "You can keep the cute nickname. But... There can only be one dragon."
• "Some are born with talent, and some aren't. That's true. But that said... Those with talent never make it through talent alone. You have to overcome. Find boundaries, and break them. The only way to grow is by overcoming challenges."
• "Bitch, please. Remember who yer talkin' too."
• "I peacocked your mom"
• "Samantha's in trouble, and it's all because of my pizza."
• "That's rad!"
• "Kiryu-Chan!"

Shenmue:

• "Would you like to play a game of Lucky Hit?"
• "Let's get sweaty."
• "I see..."
• "Do you know of a place where sailors hang out?"

‘Zug zug’

World of Warcraft

"my chute's gone! my damn chute is gone!"

classic nomad

Go for the eyes Boo, go for the eyes!

@uninspiredcup: Wow! That’s amazing. I can remember playing Soul Reaver a lonnng time ago and being amazed by that very same dialogue. Cool Stuff :)

Pretty shitty list, but I don't expect anything better from a site called 'GamesRadar'.

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum.

And I'm all out of gum!

@Planeforger: agree, Not even "All your base are belong to us" on the list, there's one repeated quote and two that are "..."

This list is underwhelming to be honest.

"What? MY HAND!"

"I love the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet, into a well greased chamber."

"And don't even think about using Rapid-Fire, because I'll know. "

I've been watching the comm traffic in STALKER: Lost Alpha DC. One popped up ;)

"If it smells, it's chemistry. If it breeds, it's biology. If it doesn't work, it's physics."

Psychonauts is filled with great quotes. But here's some:

"It's Goggalor!! He hates children!"

"Oh no, Goggalor is headed for the orphanage! ... No, wait, that wasn't the orphanage! ... Oh no, that WAS the Orphanage! ... Goggalor got the puppy orphanage! ... I hate you, Goggalor!"

"Although I sometimes smell of excrement, I deserve your respect because I provide a valuable service."

".. And they were scared.. Of DRACULA! BOO! A-ha, haha, no, they were just scared of getting shot. But if they had any sense they would be scared of Dracula, too."

Raz: "Where do you buy your clothes? I was wondering because my sister is really fat and has a hard time finding clothes that fit."
Kitty: "WHAT?!"
Raz: "I said, where can I find the Geodesic Psycho-Isolation Chamber?"

Dogen: "And then... and then you'll make their heads explode?"
Raz: "No! What? Can you do that?"
Dogen: "No! Well... once kinda. But now I wear this special hat."

Most people think time's like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time and I can tell you: they are wrong. - PoP:SoT

I'm the architect of my own destruction - PoP:WW

One of my favorites - "If all on Olympus will deny me my vengeance, then all on Olympus will die" from God of War 2

Also the final boss in Metal Gear Rising said "I'm going to make America great again" . This was several years before the last US presidential race got under way ..... so maybe Konami should sue

Max Payne has some of the best quotes

"There was no glory in this. I hadn't asked for this crap. Trouble had come to me, in big dark swarms. The good and the just, they were like gold dust in this city. I had no illusions. I was not one of them. I was no hero. Just me and the gun, and the crook. My options had decreased to a singular course."

"The Flash of fallen angel!"

"Pissing Punchinello off was a dangerous game. But when people get mad, they make mistakes. I should know."

at the end of max payne 3

"So I guess I had become what they wanted me to be: a killer, some rent-a-clown with a gun who puts holes in other bad guys. Well, that's what they had paid for, so in the end, that's what they got. Say what you want about Americans, but we understand capitalism: you buy yourself a product and you get what you pay for. And these chumps had paid for some angry gringo without the sensibilities to know right from wrong. Here I was, about to execute this poor bastard like some dime-store angel of death, and I realized: they were correct. I wouldn't know right from wrong if one of them was feeding the poor and the other was banging my sister."

Metro games have also amazing quotes

“Some people call these demons, I call them bitches!”

"Force answers force, war breeds war, and death only brings death. To break this vicious circle one must do more than act without any thought or doubt."

"It was one loss after another, And for every one who died helping me save my home station, I felt a needle in my heart."

"If we are to survive, this threat must be eliminated, no matter the cost. Eliminated. Understand?

"Wicked phenomenon, yes? But, you know, it’s not any more "evil" than, say… fire. It all depends on your point of view. Try to get a better understanding of things before you make your judgement. Let's move out now, it's not safe here."

Damn. Beat me to it lol

"I feel sleepy" Zzzz

"I fell asleep" !

Can't see the site, they don't allow adblocker and I ain't switching it off. "It's my way or... Hell it's my way"

They could have filled half that list with Duke Nukem quotes. :)

@watercrack445:

“You’re a good man Arthur Morgan”

“No, I’m not”

Such an amazing quote they used it in every scene!

"im selling these fine leather jackets..."

Lol, love it

Nutcase King in Katamari. Is he... is he talking about his son's... katamari?

Eek, what is that? Our eyesight is the best in existence, but where your katamari is, We cannot tell. Is… this… perhaps… because it is so small? So miniscule? Aha, yes, We understand! The current trend, this minimalist craze. This is something that had to be tried by the Prince. Of course he did, being the trendy sort of Prince. BUT… We do not acknowledge trendy Princes! Please go away now. Go, go, go. GOOD BYE!

And there, waiting for me as always, was the Reaver, the wraith-blade. My own soul, twinned and bound eternally to me.

And I realized that I could never escape my terrible destiny. I had merely postponed it. History abhors a paradox.

Soldier: "Time to inform your next of kin!"

Vampire: “Just five more minutes… Is it 1358 yet?” Geralt: “No…” Vampire: “Then **** off.”

Mushroom Lady: "Oh! Oh, oh, oh, Oh, oh, oh! Oh, how I have been waiting for you, fellow believer, in the power of the mushrooms!"

Guard: "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."

Peter Stillman: "Even if a pawn becomes a queen, it still gets played"

Major Zero: "They're not cookies. They're scones."

I'm sure there are many good Portal, Red Alert, Civilization and Dark Souls quotes but I don't know any off the top of my head.

Surprised no one mentioned this, haven't even played it and well aware it.

Nanomachines, son!

• "I would kill for my family!! If you want to judge me for that then go right ahead!!"

• "This is America! You can always cut a deal!"

• "Perhaps the American dream is nothing but a bunch of none sense. But isn't the promise of a better life something that's worth fighting for?" - Dutch: Red Dead Redemption 2

Pretty much all of Bioshock... that game is a masterclass in not just game writing, but writing in general.

Max Payne 3

I'd killed more cops than cholesterol.

Time moves forward nothing changes.

Sleeping Dogs

Who are you? Wien Shen motherfucker who are you?

Pork Bun Vendor: A man who never eats pork bun is NEVER a whole man!

Max Payne

Collecting evidence had gotten old a few hundred bullets back. I was already so far past the point of no return I couldn't even remember what it looked like when I had passed it.

Up on that rooftop I was a Ninja, my Kung Fu was strong. I wasn't kidding anybody. At best I was Superman on kryponite, about to fall into where it all went down.

Snow was falling like ashes from post-apocalyptic skies, but that was outside. Things would soon get hot in the Don's restaurant.

The truth was like a green crack through my brain. Weapon statistics floating in the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. the repetitious act of shooting, time slowing down to show off my moves. The paranoid feeling of someone controlling my every step. I was in a computer game. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

OMG how did I not think of Max Payne. Good pick, sir.

Sheesh. If you need a reminder of the lousy writing in video games, just scroll through this “best of” list.

Starcraft Broodwars

Jim Raynor:

It may not be tomorow, darlin', it may not even happen with an army at my back. But rest assured; I'm the man who's gonna kill you one day. I'll be seing you.
