Most memorable opening line in a game

[Captain Schpack]

"War...War never changes."

That obvious answer and some of the Call of Duty openings are pretty cool.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

"This is HQ to any available units: we have Mechs down at Nav Gamma. Bravo Cadet reports 4 subjects on site. Bandits are hostile. Repeat: Bandits are hostile."
*explodey mech carnage*

Mechwarrior 2, of course.

"This is HQ to any available units. We have mechs down at Nav Gamma. Bravo Cadet reports four Summoners on site. Bandits are hostile. Repeat;Bandits ARE hostile."

A beginning that tells the story using only a Chicken. That is storytelling!

 

[clypog]

"I'll be here..."
"Why...?"
"I'll be 'waiting'... here..."
"For what?"
"I'll be waiting... for you...so... if you come here... you'll find me."
"I promise."

"rise and shine, mister freeman, Rise and shine." creepiest opening to a game I've ever seen.

So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now step forward, can you do it?"
Kingdom Hearts 1

 

[Trippy Turtle]

Well I'm not sure if it counts but I loved in Jak 2 when daxter saves Jak and his first ever words are "I'M GONNA KILL PRAXIS!". In fact I loved everything about that game.

 

[FreeDoM.]

"Bizarre murder cases have recently occurred in Raccoon city. There are outlandish reports of families being attacked by a group of about 10 people, victims.. we're apparently eaten."

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

"Isaac, and his mother, lived alone, in a small house, on a hill..."

[Valkaris]

"My son, the day you were born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name, Arthas."

 

[Searinox0]

I always liked the opening monologues from the Sword of the Stars expansions, first one not as much though.

"War, war never changes"

argh, i was say that.

 

[iFail69]

I've seen the opening lines of HL2 posted all over the first page alone, so I won't be saying that I guess.

I know, "Good Morning, and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System."

Either that or "C'mon newcomer, follow me."

Two games I literally grew up playing. Wonder if anyone will get the 2nd... (The first one is pretty damn obvious.)

 

[Abedeus]

God damn ninjas taking my HF2 and AC and Fallout...

Would Diablo 2 "From that moment, we traveled together, East. Always... into the East." count?
