The No More Heroes series has a ton.

But a lot are spoilers.

Fragile Dreams also has a lot.

"The day will come when your journey will end as well.

Your greatest adventure will be over and you will make your way home.

However your journey will not be complete. The days will still go one for you. One after another they will pass, until you've had enough of the monotony

No new discoveries will await you.

You'll watch the sun rise and set. That's all your days have to offer.

That's the moment when you realize the truth...
The sunbeams, the wind rolling over the tall grass, the idle chit-chat with friends...
These were the gems of your life.

Then your heart will be carried off by the gentle, caressing breeze
and it will sparkle like a jewel, fade, and grow cold."

The entire speech.

"You cannot hide from what you once were, Revan" - Darth Malak
aka the moment my jaw dropped during KOTOR

on a more humorous note, in Snake Eater

"I'm in a box."
"A cardboard box? Why?"
"I dunno. I was just looking at it, and suddenly I got this irresistible urge to get inside. No, not an urge, more than that. It was my destiny to be here, in the box!"
"Destiny?"
"And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can't put it into words. I feel safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I'd found the key to true happiness."

Put on the spot, start panicking but remember a certain quote from Witcher 3

"The last Metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace."

This to me is so memorable as it was the first spoken sentence I ever heard in a videogame. The game itself is also one of my all time favourites.

One that stuck with me as interesting, ff4 (specifically the NA Final Fantasy II version):

"Justice is not the only right in this world"

I still think about that line when talking about what is expected behavior of a nation and laws, of a company/group and rules, and of a person and conduct.







and then they changed the line in later versions.....

That reads way better than it plays in the scene. Too much anime dub pause breaking.

Prince's monologue about time from Sands of Time.

Shepard's motivational speech from ME2.

Professor Oak explanation of your Pokedex quest

That creepy ass narrator at the end of PS1 Doom. "You can now retire to a lifetime of FRIVOLITY!"

I can't be arsed to quote many of these because they're really long! But these stick out from my childhood.

I don't have it off the top my head, but the entire opening monologue to DOOM 2016 was fantastic. The fact that they took that ridiculous rip and tear quote from the comic and actually made it something sinister and bad ass was really awesome.

The ending monologue of Silent Hill 2.

"James... You made me happy."

Also "In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill." is such a strong line too.

I always think of Metal Gear when it comes to gaming quotes. So many lines that stick in my mind.

"This is the greatest hand gun ever made: The Colt Single Action Army. Six bullets. More than enough to kill anything that moves."

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
"Hunters have told me about the church. About the gods, and their love. But... do the gods love their creations? I am a doll, created by you humans. Would you ever think to love me? Of course... I do love you. Isn't that how you've made me?"

It's impossible to choose a favourite quote from Planescape Torment, but I always liked this one:

"There is no room for '2' in the world of 1's and 0's, no place for 'mayhap' in a house of trues and falses, and no 'green with envy' in a black and white world. " - Ravel Puzzlewell

"I think it's important to keep a balance in things. Yeah, balance, that's the right word. Cause the guy who wants too much risks losing absolutely everything. Of course, the one who wants too little from life might not get anything at all."

And on a similar note:

”Gosh, I hope this isn't like the primitive, dangerous microwave ovens of my century. Those things could really pop a hamster good."

It's the delivery of "pop a hamster good" that really sticks in my mind.

In terms of longer ones, the Guardian's speech from the opening to Ultima VII's a prominent one that's stuck with me.

AVATAR!

Know that Britannia has entered into a new age of enlightenment.

Know that the time has finally come for the one *true* lord of Britannia to take His place at the head of His people.

Under my guidance, Britannia will flouish, and all the people shall rejoice and pay homage to their new... Guardian.

Know that you too will kneel before me, Avatar. You too will soon acknowledge my authority.

For I will be your companion. Your... provider. And... your master! <evil laughter>

"Rise and shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and... shine. Not that I... wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has... come again."

I was the opposite, I let the entire monologue play out the first ten or fifteen times I started Nier, just because I liked it so much.

There is a scene in Dragon Age 2 during Aveline's personal quest where you and the rest of the crew are trying to set her up with Donnic who obviously likes her but Aveline is a hopeless battle hardened dumb when it comes to romance and during the scene Aveline is desperately trying to make small talk and comes out with

"It's a very nice night for an evening"

And I almost died laughing and you can almost hear her soul face palming herself into the ground. The game can actually be very dark but that was one of the welcome moments of levity and Dragon Age's camaraderie was it's strong suit.

"It's a real nice night for an evening" is something me and my friends still quote to each other.

*Side note: Please bring Isabela on this quest for the commentary alone

Aveline is a major reason why I can't hate Dragon Age 2 very much. This questline was lovely.

"Most test subjects do experience some cognitive deterioration after a few months in suspension. Now you've been under for... quite a lot longer, and it's not out of the question that you might have a very minor case of serious brain damage. 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." Wheatley, Portal 2
