inspired by the best music thread, i'm interested to hear what are your favorite quotes of all time in games? I'll start with some personal favorites:
"It is a good life we lead brother" "The best. May it never change" "And may it never change us" (Ezio and Federico Auditore, Assassin's Creed II)
"What in the goddamn.." (Benny, Fallout: New Vegas)
"What's Tibetan for RPG?" (Nathan Drake, Uncharted 2: Among Theives)
"That's alright. I believe him" (Joel, The Last of Us)
"War never changes" ~ Fallout 4 "So long gay Bowser" ~ Super Mario 64 "Looking for someone?" ~ Poptropica, Ghost Story Island "Spider Toad. Spider Toad." ~ Super Mario 63 "Everyone knows there are no secret passages in Peach's Castle" ~ Super Mario 63 There's many others from SM63 but it's been a while since I've read them.
I like lot of quotes from the old-ish Mardek RPG series. For example:
"I am viewing my chat log!" "Oh no! It's an unrelated plot monster!" "It's locked tight. No amount of shouting at it or insulting its mother will cause it to open." ~ Door "I only kill a guy if he killed me first!"
The game: "Are you ready?" Player: "Yes" The game: "You are not ready at all, you liar"
There are lot of others quotes which I don't remember right now, from games that are making fun of themselves in terms of story and narration point of view. For example: The Stanley Parable, Dude Stop, There is no game.
Some more iconic ones:
"Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle" (Super Mario Bros.) "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this" (The Legend of Zelda) "Great fighting!! You were tough, Mac! I've never seen such finger speed before" (Mike Tyson's Punch-Out)
amazing how some text on a screen can become so iconic and recognizable
@The_squerils_return cookie clicker could have a whole thread of quotes on it's own.
"Your cookies are becoming popular in the neighborhood" is my favorite, ironic considering how the late game ends up going
I need to play them again to remember more but VasantJ's Medieval Cop series has a ton of great ones. I'm gonna slightly fudge some of them.
"I'm proud to report that 2,586,973 people got married last year." "I'm no expert but shouldn't that be an even number?"
"This cake tastes like tomato"
"I am going to destroy the Post Office"
"The mayor explains in great detail how removing your HP will help the planet." -Universal Thief
OK adding a few more funny ones from SM63
"GAH! Why did Princess Peach forget to put even one bathroom in this castle?"
"WEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! .... er ... I mean ........ WII!!!!!!"
"Oooooooooooooh. Giant spooky staircase. Very original Bowser."
"Yesterday, I was bored, so I decided to buy that new Final Fantasy game. FFMMDCCCLXXXVIII... That is the two-thousand eight-hundred and ninety-eight game in the series!?!?! I thought it was the FINAL Fantasy, meaning the LAST ... EVER. It should really be Final-but-not-really-final-because-we-will-undoubtably-release-more-and-more-sequels-despite-half-the-games-released-are-spin-offs-of-other-previous-f-f-titles-so-that-the-number-that-represents-this-new-game-is-so-large-that-it-even-overtakes-the-normal-letter-name-of-final-fantasy-in-terms-of-length-and-number-of-characters Fantasy ... But none the less, I am still enjoying that game thoroughly, so I have no other complaints"
"Shhh! You are in Princess Peach's secret passageway of secrets, secretly used to secretly travel secretly from room to room in secretistical secretism."
Basically every TF2 quote "Oooh, they're going to have to glue you back together, IN HELL!' "You got blood on my suit" "I murdered your toys as well." I have tons more
Basically every portal quote "When life gives you lemons, make life take the lemons back' "But don't be alarmed, alright? Although, if you do feel alarm, try to hold onto that feeling because that is the proper reaction to being told you have brain damage." "And whose fault do you think it's going to be when the management comes down here and finds ten thousand flipping vegetables?" I'll stop before copying the entire wiki of wheatley voice lines. Also the wheatley in TF2 voice lines.
Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Auron - FFX
Whispy Woods: Please don't tread on my roots, it would not be a wise decision.
Kirby: (steps on Whispy Woods's root) I feel like some apple pie!
