Lines in videogames that are pure hype for you?

I always liked the line in the beginning of Mass Effect 2. It's where Joker and Shepard are looking at the Normandy from a window for the first time and Joker says "it's good to be back commander".

Simple line, but really felt like it kicked off the mood of going another great adventure.

This took ENTIRELY too long.
 
Ike: In every battle that mattered in my life, I've always been the one left standing, no matter how slim my chances. This battle means more than any of the others, because it's for the life of every person that I've ever cared about. I will win this fight.

Gets me every time.

And just before that when he says this(Spoilers)
Ike: So that's how it's going to be, huh? Then we will fight...and we will save our people. Make your peace with whatever the gods worship. Your end is near.

Mine came just after that:
But... Maybe, with what little power you have... You can SAVE something else.

Around this point I realized I was standing up in front of my computer - which I hadn't made a conscious decision to do - with one hand over my mouth and the controller in the other. I've never had that kind of reaction to a game. Easily my favorite example of a JRPG final boss "time to kick some fucking ass" moment.

Very different thing, but the Uncharted 4 finale:
"En garde, dickhead," as you're starting a swordfight in the hold of a goddamn burning pirate ship.
Not the most flowery line in existance but it had me wanting to run around yelling YOOOOO

When SAVE the World kicks in.

So fucking good.

Can someone explain to me why this is epic? Not the first time I've seen it posted. Looked up the fight cutscene and all I see is a weird horse beast demon suddenly find a sword at its side. What's the context here and why is it awesome?

He was the first hunter, he was turned into a horse monster through overuse of the blood ( long story) and the first part of the fight makes him appear to be a beastly creature with no sign of intelligence, but that changes in the second phase and so does the way he attacks, also that sword is a FromSoft staple and has been in many games, I don't think anyone expected it to show up here. Also music gets more intense for an already intense fight
 
In an industry all about wars on epic scale, I still firmly believe the most epic hype scene came from Trauma team, about a group of doctors.

I dare anyone tell me this wasn't the epicest thing they ever saw in a video game. Specifically this line:
"We still got one more battle to fight there's no time to rest!"

This was the most "FUCK YEEEAH" moment in my entire gaming life.
 
"I don't believe it is too much to ask to die as a warrior should -- in battle. It is my curse, though, that I have found no one that can best me in combat. Are you the one that can? Can you come and lift me from these shackles of life? Come then, be the new wielder of Umbra!"

Thank you! :)
 
"Even in a book of lies sometimes you find truth. There is indeed a season for all things and now that I see you flesh-to-flesh and blood-to-blood I know I cannot raise my hand against you. But know this, you are my greatest disappointment. Does your master hear me? Atlas! You can kill me, but you will never have my city. My strength is not in steel and fire, that is what the parasites will never understand. A season for all things! A time to live and a time to die, a time to build... and a time to destroy!"

-Andrew Ryan, Bioshock

For a more succinct quote:

"In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!"

-Blackbeard, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
 
"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh."- Magus, Chrono Trigger.
 
"Final Ultimate Legendary Earth Power Super Max Justice Future Miracle Dream Beautiful Galaxy Big Bang Little Bang Sunrise Starlight Infinite Fabulous Totally Final Wonderful Arrow...FIRE!"

And then

"PROTECT EARTH"
 
"Those battles are destined to be fought elsewhere, and by different people"

Nice way to start a franchise
 
Not out yet but new God of War at E3.

Kratos: Now you are ready.

Boy: For what?

Kratos: A new beginning.

I renounce you. - Raziel, Soul Reaver 2
There is a certifiable fuckload from that series but it is hard to find ones that are pure hype and aren't a complete spoiler. This one is only a spoiler if you already know the context.
 
"Truth is...the game was rigged from the start." --Benny in the New Vegas opening cinematic right before putting a goddamn bullet in your head and crashing to a title card. Gives me chills every time.

This is so fucking hype you don't even know.

Hype as fuck, but it has some serious competition from that same event.

"You tried again to reach
your SAVE file
. Nothing happened. Seems
SAVING the game
really is impossible. ... But... Maybe, with what little power you have... You can
SAVE
something else."

This plus the change it signifies filled me with so hype that I could barely contain myself. Jesus Christ, the music as well. I get goosebumps hearing it even now.
 
Sovereign: Your words are as empty as your future. I am the vanguard of your destruction. This exchange is over.

Followed by:
Joker: That ship, Sovereign? It's moving. I don't know what you did down there, but that thing just pulled a turn that would shear any of our ships in half. It's coming your way, and it's coming hard. You need to wrap things up in there -- fast!

Mass Effect 1 nailed tension. I'm like "Oh hell. Let's haul ass!" at that scene. Every time I replay I feel the same way.

Not sure if hype, but it definitely elicits a strong reaction from me:

I remember this line hitting me like a ton of bricks too, especially given the context and setting. Man, the
ending
section for Undertale is so damn strong, regardless of what route/ending you follow.

"Finish your mission. PROVE YOUR LOYALTY!"

MGS2:

"Our beloved monsters, enjoy yourselves"

"Such a lust for revenge... WHOOOOOOOOOO!?"
