Ever since gaming started, whether it be a console or the PC, there has been some beautiful and epic dialogue written. It could be in sound bubble, dialogue choices, or just plain old game Tags. I didn't add best to the title, because really, it's just a matter of relevance.
{NOTE: There might be some spoiler quotes. Not full-blown lines, but just the best one-liners}
So, here are some of my favorite ones:
“Thank you Mario! But our Princess is in another castle!” -Super Mario Bros.
“This is your fault. I'm going to kill you. And all the cake is gone. You don't even care, do you?” -Portal
"Finish him!!" -Mortal Kombat
"War. War never changes." -Fallout 3
“Requiescat in pace.” -Assassin’s Creed II
"Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted." -The Creed of the Assassins
"You were almost a Jill sandwich!" -Resident Evil
"We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it."- Sovereign, Mass Effect
"Hey! Everyone! This store discriminates against the poor!" - John Shepard,ME2
"You wish to finish this war with your honor intact? Stand among the ashes of a trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters... The silence will be your answer." -Javik, ME 3
"These people, Adam, they're like ghosts. Always in the shadows, always hiding behind lies and proxy soldiers. I need you to find them. They cannot stop us. They cannot stop the future." -David Sarif, DE:HR
“It’s not the end of the world…but you can see it from here.”- Eliza Cassan, DE:HR
"I never asked for this. If you wanna make enemies, try to change something." and "Sometimes, the more power you think you have, the more quickly it slips from your hands.(Tracer Tong later quotes this to JC Denton)" -Adam Jensen
"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm 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." -Andrew Ryan, Bioshock(one of the reasons why the game is sooo epic. AR's every line is awesome.
)
"Booker, are you afraid of God?" "No, but I'm afraid of you." -Bioshock Infinite
" I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee." / "Let me guess. Someone stole your sweet roll?"/ "Sweet mother, sweet mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear."/ (and basically everything Sheogorath says) -The Elder Scrolls:Skyrim
"To kill for yourself is murder. To kill for the government is heroic. To kill for entertainment is harmless." -Spec Ops
"Now we can fight as warriors, hand to hand. It is the basis of all combat. Only a fool trusts his life to a weapon" -Gray Fox, MGS(and a ton of others
)
"I am lightning. The rain transformed." - Raiden
"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same ****ing thing... over and over again expecting... **** to change... That. Is. Crazy. The first time somebody told me that, I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so, I shot him." -Vaas, Far Cry3(most chilling monologue in the game
)
And now, the 2 games which got me into jotting down awesome quotes whenever I hear them:
1.)Devil May Cry(the original, not the shitty reboot)
Lady: Are you crying?
Dante: It's only the rain.
Lady: The rain already stopped.
Dante: Devils never cry.
Lady: I see... but maybe, there is a place somewhere in this World where Devils may cry.
Dante:Maybe. -Devil May Cry 3
{
"You may look like my mother but you're nowhere close to her. You have no soul. You have the face, but you'll never have her fire!"
"My mother risked her life for me... and now you too... I should have saved you. I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with light!"
"Well, this is my kind of rain. No wonder the sky looked funny today."
"If you're asking for a date, forget it. 'Cause I make it a point not to go out with women who shoot me in the head!" ~Dante~
"First I whip it out! Then I thrust it! With great force! Every angle...! It penetrates! Until...! With great strength...! I... ram it in! In the end... We are all satisfied... And you are set free...!"
}-All Dante
"Jackpot!" -Dante and Vergil
2.)Max Payne(This series rests on Bullet Time and Quotes. Seriously, buy and play every single game of the trilogy. You won't be dissapointed. Yeah, even MP1, with the constipated face and amateur BT. Infact, MP1 has 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."
"Valkyre had been meant to be a white-winged maiden that would lift you to a warriors' heaven, but it had turned out to be a one-way demon ride to hell. The devil was in the drug. I knew, I had met him."
"And now I was going to kill her. The queen of the underworld who had tried to lift herself a bit closer to heaven with her drug money."
“I don't know about angels, but it's fear that gives men wings.”
"I had a dream of my wife. She was dead. But it was all right."
“There was a blind spot in my head, a bullet-shaped hole where the answers should be. Call it denial. I wanted to dig inside my skull and scrape out the pain.”
“’The things that I want’, by Max Payne. A smoke. A whiskey. For the sun to shine. I want to sleep to forget. To change the past. My wife and baby girl back. Unlimited ammo and a license to kill. Right then, more than anything, I wanted her.”
“The past is a gaping hole. You try to run from it, but the more you run, the deeper, more terrible it grows behind you, its edges yawning at your heels. Your only chance is to turn around and face it. But it's like looking down into the grave of your love, or kissing the mouth of a gun, a bullet trembling in its dark nest, ready to blow your head off.”
“I might have laughed, if I had remembered how.”
"The past is a puzzle, like a broken mirror. As you piece it together, you cut yourself, your image keeps shifting. And you change with it. It could destroy you, drive you mad. It could set you free."
"Painkillers and scotch...what could possibly go wrong?"
"Sao Paulo is like Baghdad with G-strings."
And a TON of others. Again, if you haven't played it yet, go get some piece of the action.
So, what quotes do you like and why?(It's alright if you can't quote 'em word for word. I have a separate document listing all my favorites. Just have fun!!
