Best video game quotes

[maplesyrupcookie]

What are the best/your favourite quotes from video games you've played?



From Hollow Knight, my pick is:

"No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void. You shall seal the blinding light that plagues their dreams.
You are the Vessel. You are the Hollow Knight."

It just goes so hard in the game.



And then in Silksong, there are just so many great quotes:

"I have already stood the sentinel for one dying land. That role... I will never play again. While I live, and possess the strength to resist, this kingdom, and the bugs within it, shall not fall."

"Witness, the first light. The only means we possess to resist that void with which our family is forever linked. Reach forth, child grown strong. Wrest it from this remembrance. Burn yourself free from our sad fate..."

"To quell the mother's rage, and see this kingdom saved, I will claim her back. This one... the dark shall not take."

"Oblivion may take you, child. My own life, I shall not sacrifice. I have survived the fury of your land. I have borne its barbs and its blades, and I have seen wonder behind its dangers. But always, child, I remain a daughter of Hallownest. And the void below all things, that darkness I will fear no longer..."


The ending of that game is absolute cinema, especially with the absolutely stunning soundtrack.

I could write a book with quotes from Horizon Zero Dawn alone, but these are my favourites:

"Being smart will count for nothing if you don't make the world better"

"There's so much more to discover before the world ends"

And ofcourse the quote that almost made me cry from Red Dead Redemption 2:

"I guess I...I'm afraid"

From Halo:

> "I am a thief... but I keep what I steal."

> "Soon the Great Journey shall begin. But when it does, the weight of your heresy will stay your feet. And you shall be left behind."

> "Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness, a father's sins, passed to his son."

From Bioshock:

> "Would you kindly..."

[Shiden Kai San]

"Bring me a bucket, and I'll show you a bucket"!

"When God closes a door, I blow it the F*ck up!"

"Shareholders wired my voice box with a digital sensor, so I can't say stuff like SH*T, C*CK, or P*SSY F*CKIN D*CKBALLS. That's like half my f*cking vocabulary! It's Goddamn bullsh*t."

"I hear the soy sauce."

[Northman]

From Bioshock Infinite:

"Booker... are you afraid of God?"
"No, but I am afraid of you."

From God of War:

"What are we hunting?"
"-You are hunting deer."
"Which way?"
"-In the direction of deer."

"When God closes a door, I blow it the F*ck up!"

I just know I'm going to use this next time I have to do something questionable at work

This could be a fun game of matching quotes with games they are from.

One I always remember comes from Halo 2.

Cortana: Just one question, what if you miss?

Master Chief: I won't.

Recently been in a Portal phase:

"So, how are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO!"

"You know what my days used to be like? I just tested. Nobody murdered me. Or put me in a potato. Or fed me to birds. I had a pretty good life." - reminds me of life before med school... simpler times!

and of course: "Alright, I've been thinking; When life gives you lemons? Don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! 'I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?! Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's going to burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
