Basically your favourite line that a character has said in a game, even a few lines but no big speeches please lol. 3 picks each should be good I reckon, mine are in no particular order.

Max Payne 3
"I ain't slipping man, I'm slipped, I'm a bad joke"
Max.

Ryse
"A brave man tastes death once."
"Cowards, a thousand times over."
Marius.
(I know it's from Shakespeare but still from a game)

Halo 2
"Don't make a girl a promise... if you know you can't keep it."
Cortana.

 

[Zacfoldor]

1. What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets.

2. It is delusion to think your actions have had any consequence. The Fortress stands. The Inquisitorius continues its work. And I have come for you.

 

[Flabagast]

"Do you think a pile of shit feels popular because it's surrounded by flies?"
"I've been sitting in that bar for 3 hours... Or 5 years depending on the way you look at things..."
"I tell myself a lot of things - all of it crap"
"At this point I had killed more cops than cholesterol"
"I wouldn't have known right from wrong if one of them was helping the poor and the other one was fucking my sister." (this one is so aces)

All from Max Payne 3, which is the GOAT of one-liners in gaming

Just 3? ok, mine are also in no particular order.

 

[Connificent]

So long gay Bowser

Your Face Your Ass What's The Diffirence

 

[MidGenRefresh]

 

[AJUMP23]

The Ballistics line from RE4.




Itsa Me Mario.
Mario and AC2

 

[Judge Magister]

 

[kunonabi]

SH3:

"You told me you me were the strongest man in the world.
Liar."

Tells you so much about Harry's personality, his relationship with Heather, and the pain she's going through with his death."


Just a goddamn masterclass of writing.

 

[ozzrik]

Come get some.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Ok, on a serious note, this one from Max Payne 2 always sends shivers down my spine for some reason:

"I had a dream of my wife. She was dead. But it was all right."

 

[Kenneth Haight]

And of course this recent classic of writing master class from the one and only mr cinema

 

[diffusionx]

"Bullshit" *blasts Limp Bizkit and walks away*

 

[TheAtomicPile]

 

[Holammer]

Max Payne:
"... I was a Ninja, my Kung Fu was strong..."
It's part of the longer monologue, but I found that part especially memorable.

Liberty Prime is one-liner machine.

Disco Elysium has amazing lines, every skill has some insanely poetic lines, god I wish that game should have been a book but eh whatever, pretentious drivel but made very competently, with a soul.

The limbed and headed machine of pain and undignified suffering is firing up again. It wants to walk the desert. Hurting. Longing. Dancing to disco music

The man does not know the bullet has entered his brain. He never will. Death comes faster than the realization.

Everyone knows you can't trust artists. They're nearly as bad as clowns

This is a very, very sad man who has just seen something that's made him forget his sadness

Think about the seagull's story. It's one of endurance and adaptation. The seaside was paradise once. They were birds of that paradise. Then their paradise became *shit city*. And what did they do? They became urban survivors! Eating burgers out of trash cans! Killing and eating pigeons! No time for that sentimental bullshit. They're hustlers, getting shit done. They're one pair of track pants away from gangsters. Just like you

Good on you. I know you were tempted to shout *fuck*, but you controlled your impulse. Well done."Fuck."This is a shame and a disappointment.

Kim: I think this racist is better than the last, but the next racist will be the really good one.
You: That will be our lucky racist!
Kim: He will grant us three wishes.

Say one of these fascist or communist things or fuck off.

Best, in the sense of infamous... "No thanks, bro" from OG RE4, of course :-D

 

[Felessan]

Straight lines always the best)

 

[DaciaJC]

Darkest Dungeon is filled to the brim with amazing lines by the narrator (RIP Wayne June).

 

[analog_future]

 

[Crayon]

Would have to think about there's but an odd one I think about frequently is Ken from zoe2: "stop being so surprised all the time!". I guess it's just relevant to daily life.

 

[Calverz]

"Suffer, like G did."

 

[CrimsonTide]

Shenmue

Ryo: I have something to ask you

Random Biker: I have nothing to say

Ryo: Umm....

Random Biker: Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Are you fronting with me?!

 

[ssringo]

Most of the script from Portal 1 and 2 would apply but here's the classic potato line.

"Blame yourself or God" is one of my favorite lines in all media, not just gaming

No one knows where a ninja goes. - Muramasa (Ninja Gaiden II)

That game is a goldmine of hilarious voice acting.

[archangelmorph]

"Kain is deified… the clans tell tails of him… he was mortal once… as were we all…"

 

[JimmyRustler]

RE4 thread? RE4 thread.

How can one pick from Leon's legendary one-liners?

"Can't remember the name, huh? A senior moment perhaps."
