Most memorable opening line in a game

[spartandude]

"Wake up, you were dreaming... what's your name?"

Im gonna gp play that again

 

[Thomiroth]

I found myself walking through a deep forest, in a thick fog. How did I get here? I should have been home by now... Suddenly, I saw a bright light before me. It was the hotel.

I miss that game...

some guy already started it, but
"Wake up, wake up, my friend, it's the dawn of a new day and we have things to do!"
Hitman: Codename 47

Fallout is great too.

 

[JoJo]

Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of Pokemon

 

[Cooperblack]

Always loved that start.

 

[Da Orky Man]

"Kharak is burning."


*cries*

I was wondering how long it would be before Homeworld made an appearance. Glad to see it was the 1st page.

"The Scaffold has been destroyed. All orbital facilities destroyed. Debris ring in low Kharak orbit. Receiving no communications from anywhere in the system. not even beacons..."

Well gentlemen tell us about your latest exploits
"After Drek's defeat there were parades, press confrences, fancy dress balls-"
"And the weiner roast at Al's"

How I love this game.

"I must humbley request your sustenance on a misson of dire urgitude! On a misson of supertiuous peril! On a mission of unequizzical Imperitude!...

"Did that make any sense?"

"Listen to my story. This may be our last chance." - FFX

Best FF game ever.

 

[Epicspoon]

"The legends speak of an ancient evil known only as Cthulhu...."

Cthulhu saves the world

Why do most of the posts here include the quotation but fail to say what game it is from? I haven't played every game. If you think the game is worthy enough to have the best opening line ever I would like to know the name of it.

Clearly its "War, War never changes" from the Fallout series.

 

[Samus Aran but a man]

"They told me... son, you're special. You were born to do great things. You know what? They were right." - BioShock

"It's a ME, MARIO!!" - Super Mario 64

 

[Samus Aran but a man]

"Once upon a time, there lived a giant tree..."

SECRET OF MANA!!

 

[s0p0g]

"I am Gabriel Angelos, Captain of the Blood Ravens."

awesome because of the awesomeness that comes afterwards; and great voice acting by Paul Dobson

As awesome as the Dobson Brothers are, Fred Tatasciore and whoever voiced Azariah Kyras steal the show in Retribution and Chaos Rising. Araghast the Pillager!

No! No one is more epic than a Spess Mahreen!
i think that Dobson's voice is just... fuller, bigger, Spess Mahreen!
that doesn't mean at all that Giles doesn't do a great job; he sounds just like a Daemon prince to be should sound like; heinous, fiendish, cold ^^

but i'll still go with epic

"War... War never Changes." Fallout

"Surrender or die"
"Don't you mean surrender OR die "
"not in this town"
Jak & Daxter II Renegade

?Stories are supposed to start at the beginning, isn?t so simple with this one.? Bastion

I think that?s how it?s said. It sets the stage really well, especially once you realise its importance to the story.

 

[a Soviet Pie]

"Well, says No-bark, we got a chupacabra with an automatic weapon. And that's when they get real quiet, 'cause now they see the predicament we're in. He had himself a blunderbuss that would spin around real fast and shoot bullets out of a backpack! I ain't seen nothing like it!"

knights of the old republic one


.... weve been ambushed by the sith

the fact that i remember that line after not playing the game for over 3 years says something

"Some Groups Just Dont Get Along..." - KKND (PSX)
The whole monologue, easily one of the best mood builders ever.
