gaming Worst lines/quotes in video games


Megas

Recommended Posts

There are always certain lines and quotes in games that people have always remembered, not for being deep and memorable, but for being cheesy or bad, whether it be from deliver, mistranslation, or, well, just being bad. Though sometimes these lines can actually help make the game more memorable, though maybe not the was developers intended

 

One that has always stuck out in my head was from the Tales of Symphonia sequel, "Dawn of a New World", if you've played it, you'll know I'm talking about "Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality". It's just a really corny and lame line that not even Kyle Hebert could salvage.

 

Of course there's also "Where's that damn FOURTH Chaos emerald" from Shadow the Hedgehog, which, just from reading it you can tell it was a really forced attempt to make the game sound edgier

 

What are some of your favorite "bad" lines?

"You know perhaps something can be worked out after all..... Take your clothes off, Jane."

"You know, we get about 200 qualified applicants for every position here. It's those people who do that one extra thing, they're the one who get head I mean get ahead."  

 

Also this 

 

"TAKE YA DAMN CLOTHES OFF."

 

Both lines from the masterpiece known as Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, and yes It's a game... kind of.

"Agent Shadow, E-123 Omega has engaged Mephiles. Head to The Wave Ocean-

 

Head. To. Wave. Ocean.....

 

Agent Shadow, E-123 Omega has engaged Mephiles. Head to WAVE Ocean immediately!"

 

That, or "Watch out! You're gonna crash! Ah!", the first from sonic 06 and the second from sonic Adventure 1 (which I like a lot despite its cheesiness.) I don't think I've played any other game that left in multiple takes of the same line. Especially non-shovelware.

Celtore proved it before me, that sonic games are full of crap lines :P

 

Let's see if I can avoid repeating someone else then...

 

I think I've found one :P

 

To where the Game Grumps are playing that one horse game I noticed a really good couple of quotes that went: "[main character] she's going to be staying with us for a while. [Main villain?] I'm going to be staying with you a while"

Sonic Adventure DX had plenty of laughably bad cutscenes (and lines). It still manages to be a decent Sonic game in its own way though.

How about worst line delivery? Sly Cooper 2 (I think) had one moment where Carmelita was supposed to shout Sly's last name. I don't know why, but she didn't yell it, it was more of a projected speaking voice. Which made it just sound bad in my opinion. Especially when she is shaking her fist and looking up in the air with an angry look on her face.

This. THIS. This is one of the worst things I have ever heard in any piece of media:

 

"I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."

 

$500,000,000 everyone. Best writing ever. 

 

Okay, this line makes zero sense. Her saying that she doesn't have time to explain why she doesn't have time to explain is completely redundant. Her saying that she doesn't have time to explain why she doesn't have time to explain creates an infinite loop. It would show that she also doesn't have time to explain why she doesn't have time to explain why she doesn't have time to explain and then she would have to explain that she doesn't have time to explain why she doesn't have time to explain why she doesn't have time to explain and it would go ON AND ON. 

 

She should have simply said "I don't have time to explain." THAT'S IT. Seriously, who wrote this crap? There are many reasons to why I hate Destiny and this is just one of those.

"Suck my Rocket Punch!"

 

Metal Wolf: Chaos. The greatest x-box game never to be released in America, and the greatest 90's action movie never made.  

 

Just about every line ever uttered int his game fits this topic.

To the point it gets a gun for it...

I love these line and this game so much. There's just so much of this delicious cheese everywhere!

"I'm in the sun." - some guy in Halo Wars

 

The sheer idiocy of that line cracks me up every time. I loved the original Halo trilogy and Reach, but every other game is garbage. Forerunner tech is cool and all, but no. You can't go into a sun. Just no.
