What video game is your favorite, quote-wise? (2024)

Tales of Symphonia victory screen:

Sheena: "And don't come back!"
Colette: "Umm...I don't think they can come back..."

Full Throttle ruled, indeed.

"I'm not puttin' my lips on that."

Classic.

For my money, though, The Secret Of Monkey Island wins with both hands tied behind it's three-headed-monkey-back.

A rather crude list is here, but it should capture the essence of the quotes pretty well.

I LOVE any game that is Looney Tunes related!

I have:

Duck Dodgers for GBC
Duck Dodgers for N64
Looney Tunes: Back In Action for PS2
Looney Tunes for GBC
Looney Tunes: Space Race for PS2

" Lets Just Hurry It Up So That I Can Get To The Fabulous Wealth Part! " - Daffy Duck - Looney Tunes: Back In Action PS2

Yes Lucasarts titles are always goldmines for quickies.

Not on your life. Ben can take Guybrush any day. One of the rare cases of the voice actor and the writers creating an unforgettable character and (highly quotable) game.

Fire up EarthBound or Banjo-Tooie, and pick anything said by anyone.

Earthbound has some really funny qoutes, and its just fun to read normal conversations in the game because the game hardly taskes itself seriously. One of my favorite moment is when The Fly from the future (scuse me for forgetting names I haven't played the game in some time) is in your friends house:

Friend's Dad: OH MY GOD IS THAT A DUNG BEETLE!!!
Amd then kills him, and then after all that if you talk to him again he says something about how your Dad make them go broke by borrowing so much money and he would like you to leave.

The voice actor was good, but as far as the quotes themselves go, I think that FT and MI are pretty close. Great writers, in other words.

By the way, you did know that Ben's voice actor died recently, didn't you? That was a great loss.

I'd go out on a limb and say Richard Sanders's Bernard from DOTT was better than both Dominic Armato and Roy Conrad...

But you'd kill me.

No, I wouldn't kill you. But as much as I loved Bernard, Hoagey's character and VA was superior if we're talking DotT.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is quote-worthy, but the main problem with it's quotes is that the best sutff comes up in long soliloquys... which doesn't translate for single lines. Still, there are some good lines:

"Loyalty to your country, or loyalty to me? Your country, or your old mentor? The mission, or your beliefs? Your duty to your unit? Or your personal feelings?"
-The Boss.

"Come Jack. Let's make this the greatest ten minutes of our lives."
-The Boss.

"This world is one of sadness. Battle brings death. Death brings sorrow... Now you will know the sorrow of those whose lives you have ended."
-The Sorrow.

"Does this pantywaist know what he's doing?"
-AC-130A Loadmaster (Virtuos Mission movie).

"Spread your wings and fly! God be with you!"
-Major Zero

"I have to find my own weapons and equipment? Whose crazy idea was this
anyway?"
-Snake

And my personal favorite. I also happen to think it sounds cooler in Japanese, but that's just me (Since I saw the japanese trailer):

"I raised you. I loved you. I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge. There is nothing more for me to give you. All that's left for you to take is my life, by your own hand. One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle."
-The Boss.
