Spec Ops: The Line has some good quotes, especially in the loading screens.

• Do you feel like a hero yet?
• The US military does not condone the killing of unarmed combatants. But this isn't real, so why should you care?
• How many Americans have you killed today?

"Dios mío!" (Draw a cross.) "A LIBERAL!"

"My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose"

Wind Waker remains my favorite LoZ for many reasons and chief among them is giving Ganondorf even the barest amount of characterization and motivation beyond "evil man bad conquer hyrule, stop him destiny child"

All your base are belong to us.

When I first played it as a youngin, I thought the Gravemind cutscene from Halo 2 was the deepest shit ever and had every atheist cell in my body vibrating at the speed of light

"This one is machine and nerve, and has its mind concluded... this one is but flesh and faith, and is the more deluded"

"Lies for the weak, beacons for the deluded"

Green cyborg man and eldritch horror own the alien paladin by proving that his religion is fake with facts and logic

A couple from Outer Wilds.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm crying as i reread these.

"Despite everything, it's still you." - Undertale

Just because there are so many fucking bangers:

"In the dark times, should the stars also go out?"

"HARRY: The people who build this world intended it to be better for you, but they failed. It is easier to live in their failure with this by your side." (Tap on the tape recorder). The wind howls. She remains silent. EMPATHY: It's real. Tell her. HARRY: It is not a childish fantasy. It can be a real weapon against what's coming for you now."

"Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. It must be like the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation."

"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

Creepypasta aside, the Happy Mask Salesman sets the tone of Majora's Mask so well. This ain't gonna be your beat-eight-dungeons-and-fight-Ganon kind of Zelda game.

It's a giant worm! THEY'RE SINKING CITIES WITH A GIANT WORM

Not a white boy left standing, you're a credit to our tolerant society

-Director Starkweather in Manhunt

"When the lake used to freeze, people would dance on the ice wearing boots with tiny swords. And fall in love."

Annual Skate weapon description, Destiny 2. Doesn't really mean anything, just vibes

• "You're pretty good" -- various Metal Gear Solids.
• "Kept you waiting, huh?" -- ibid.
• "Vamp isn't for vampire, it's because he's Bisexual" - Metal Gear Solid 2
• "You're being silly! What we propose to do is not to control content, but to create context" -- Metal Gear Solid 2
• "We're not tools of the government or anyone else" - Metal Gear Solid 2

• "People who have been through war and survived develop a kind of sixth sense to warn them of danger. Trust your instincts a soldier, as a gamer" - Metal Gear Solid 1
• "Battle!" - Mario Kart 64

"Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance" - Mass Effect

To me, one of the best villain introductions even all these years later.

"Master, sir, did you just see my MAD SKILLZ!?" - Xenogears

"You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it." - Mass Effect

One and a half words from the beginning of Morrowind:

"Ah, yes."

Everything was subjective. There are only personal apocalypses. Nothing is a cliche when it's happening to you

"Hope this interaction doesn't lead to any Fallout: New Vegas between us"

This is real darkness. It's not death, or war, or child molestation. Real darkness has love for a face. The first death is in the heart, Harry.

See you tomorrow.

i liked the arishok's speech in dragon age 2, even if the game was mediocre at best

Look at you. Like fat dathrasi you feed and feed and complain only when your meal is interrupted. You do not look up. You do not see that the grass is bare. All you leave in your wake is misery. You are blind. I will make you see!

resonated with me for some reason

Darkest Dungeon 1 & 2 are full of gems. "Slowly, gently. This is how a life it taken." "Many heroes fall in the face of chaos. But not this one; not today." "At one point he was mourned. Now he's just... gone."

The entire Child's Shadow speech from Machine for Pigs. Definitely one of the biggest influences on nudging me to my political leanings today.

Obligatory

I'm glad Zany Video Game Quotes is still up after like 25 years.

"Butt Kicking! For Goodness!" -Minsc, BG2

"April: How can you do that? How can you remember every story ever told?

The Teller: The secret is to tell them often, and to tell them in your own words, not the words of your ancestors.

April: Doesn't that mean that the stories change with every generation?

The Teller: Yes, as all Tales must. Change is important, otherwise the Tales will have no meaning to us... They will be just words, and we do not care about the words. We care about what the words tell us."
