I am expecting a lot of Disco Elysium, here…and nothing wrong with that!
A video gaming student organization I was once part of actually had a vote on their favorite sayings. The winner was the evergreen “Perhaps the same said could be said of all religions…” from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMTizJemHO8
Later we had a second voting, which decided on the cult classic Trio the Punch’s “BAD CHOICE”! https://youtu.be/rIPtzZHJnkg?t=454
My personal favorite? It’s hard to say…but hey, that’s what the scientist in Half-Life can comment, word to word! So maybe I’ll put forward, said by the aforementioned: “My god, what are doing!?”
Tl;dr: Check title.

“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
The lore and flavor text in Destiny is often pretty
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.”
“The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death… the sweetest, most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know.”
“What?”
“That the bourgeois are not human.”
Probably my favorite DE quote. Also love that “0.000% of Communism has been built” one, though.
The last bit with the phasmid resonates with me so hard, I think, because of my sensory and social issues. There is so much goddamn information out there, all of it contradictory and painful and harsh and insidious, and I struggle to process it all, as I am compelled to process it all. “A kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass” sums it up pretty good. There is incredible beauty in the world, but guarded behind a gate of horrible pain. But not crossing the gate is a hell all its own. A lower hell, one devoid of meaning or purpose. To wallow, stagnate, and atrophy is a worse fate than facing the agonizing beauty of the world on its own terms. Every rose is behind a mile-long hedge of clawing thorns. But I have to remind myself the thorns are not all there is.

“My brother said he’d die before he ate another mushroom. And he did.”
"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”
ToTK Ganondorf was such a disappointment
Wind Waker’s Ganondorf was awesome, is awesome. Hopefully will be awesome.
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
They asked if I had a degree in theoretical physics. I told them I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard
“UR DUN! THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME?!?! DON’T FORGET ME!” - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 bass boosted, volume set to 11, game version 1.0
Excellent, but someone told me that is not a real quote from the game? If it is, I’ll play it again!
“Blame yourself, or god.” is also top-tier.
It was probably made with this website, according to reddit the first appearance of that quote is a Facebook page called “lefty video game memes”.
…that said, that character is leading a rebellion against the aristocrats, so it’s not out of character for him.
Excellent, but someone told me that is not a real quote from the game? If it is, I’ll play it again!
Oh damn I didn’t know that. Been ages since I played it, regardless play it again, it’s seriously the best FF game ever.
Will do!

“Wheel me out to the curb for garbage day.” - Mae
Night in the Woods…I would say that it is not necessarily a good game, but it is an excellent experience!
It’s got its problems but it still is great, I replay it every fall, usually when October starts
I’m actually surprised we don’t have any Night In The Woods emotes
Every year people talk about that game less and less and it makes me so sad. I mean that’s the fate of pretty much all media but I wish it was better remembered
Night in The Woods may have been a little too non-entertaining for many players…like, I don’t think many people want to play video games where your mother breaths down your neck that you don’t study enough…I, at least, got enough of that in real life!
Huh, I was certain we had a few Mae ones in there, guess not.
I could have sworn I’ve seen one, too, but I can’t find it for the life of me.
“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.
“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."
Rogue Warrior had a song made up from all of Mickey Rourke’s voice lines in the game:
https://youtu.be/OVoyGUcXepc?si=dDkpO3vtOqPisWaG
(the game was about blowing up North Korea as some guy who unironically says a voice line like ‘suck my balls my fat hairy balls’ after every single kill, based on books written by former navy seal Dick Machenko or some bullshit)
Richard Marcinko! He killed civilians in Vietnam, then went to prison for defrauding the government, and when he got out he became a radio host and a second rate Tom Clancy.
