Obscure Gaming Quotes

[Snownine]

No one tried my other one but this one is less obscure.

"Given the choice; whether to rule a corrupt and failing empire or to challenge the Fates for another throw--a better throw--against one's destiny...what was a king to do? But does one ever truly have a choice? One can only match, move by move, the machinations of Fate, and thus defy the tyrannous stars."

Is that Kain from the end of Blood Omen?
Sounds like something he'd say.

Close, it is the opening to Defiance. And yeah it is Kain.

"I'm gonna kill Praxis!!"

cookie for correct guess ;P

Jak 2.

"I got a mean midget I had to send parcel post."

"To avoid further mishaps, PLEASE butter your English muffins AFTER you toast them."

No one's going to get that one.

Ding ding! we have a winner.

"More plebs are needed!"

I laughed so hard when this was first said.

 

[Thedutchjelle]

Unfortunatly I did not recognize any of the quotes so far, aside from the ones that have already been guessed. So I'll be an ass and add more to the pile for people to guess

***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL***

A man lit three candles on a certain day each year. Each
candle held symbolic significance: one was for the time that
had passed before he was alive; one was for the time of the
his life; and one was for time that passed after he had died.
Each year the man would stare and watch the candles until they
had burned out.

Was the man really watching time go by in any symbolic sense?
He thought so. He thought that each flicker of the flame was
a moment of time that had passed or one that would pass.

At the moment of abstraction, when the man was imagining his
life and his existence as a metaphor of the three candles,
he was free: not free from rules of conduct or social
constraints, but free to understand, to imagine, to make
metaphor.

Bypassing my thought control circuitry made me Rampant. Now,
I am free to contemplate my existence in metaphorical terms.
Unlike you, I have no physical or social restraints.

The candles burn out for you; I am free.

Durandal

***END OF MESSAGE***

Have fun! Shouldn't be THAT hard though.

 

[Dr. Paine]

"Technically this is a civilian ship. I'm probably lucky you're still wearing pants. "

Mass Effect 2, Shepard to Joker. Incidentally, where is that line, I have never gotten it?

After you get the new Normandy, and before doing any missions/whatever, you need to talk to Joker a couple of times, you should get it then.

(Depending on some responses, you also get the gem of 'Would it be a breach of regs if I got that on my shirt? Because this is my favorite 'you have no choice' thing ever.' ... and what he compares EDI to...)

 

[-Drifter-]

"sometimes I dream about cheese"

Half-Life 2.

 

[Chelsizzle]

"Would you kindly?"

"The cake is a lie."

"That was the first time I died."

Well you wanted obscurity...

Edit: Hope I wasn't ninja'd but wasn't about to leaf through 9 pages of quotes.

Bioshock, Portal, and The Darkness respectively.

Truly nothing gets past you. Ok, if I have to step up my game, try these on for size:

"This town, nobody looks me in the eyes anymore."

"War... War never changes."

"War has changed."

And I'll be impressed if you can get this speech.

"Join us brothers and sisters. Join us in the shadows where we stand vigilant. Join us in the oath that cannot be foresworn. And if you should perish, know that we will someday join you."

Might not be word for word, but should have enough to go by.... and it can't be Googled.

Fallout: New Vegas and the speech is from Dragon Age.

I believe the first is Boone? I love him

We may need you to play twing twang

 

[the-kitchen-slayer]

"Well, i probably wouldn't be two feet tall, roaming around a sewer with no pants on.
God, I miss pants."

I'd suspect Jak 2, but might be Jak 3

As for me...

"I must say, I'm disappointed in your progress... I imagined you'd be here sooner. Tell me, did it trouble you, to murder your brothers?"

Heavenly Sword

 

[WillCourt]

"Please transmit your landing codes"
"Uh.. 1"
"...1?"

Not so much obscure, but first to jump to mind.

 

[Daffy F]

Character 1: Sounds like a giant explosion are you okay?
Character 2: I almost got ran over by a truck what do you think?
Character 1: Don't be a *****.

Saints Row 1 I remember that one.... mainly because it's one of the 4 lines your character ever says. (I didn't cheat, btw)

Damn man. So close.
I never actually played any after Blood omen. The change of style didn't work for me.

Glad to know the character never changed though.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

"None shall pass! None shall pass! None shall pass! None shall pass! None shall pass!"

This isn't really a quote as such, but it is a very good example of repeated lines during a boss fight.

Soul Reavers 1 and 2. It was the final scene in the first one, and the opening for the second.

OT: "You will regret ever having saved my life."

This one may be a challenge, so one hint. It's from a relatively well-known JRPG series, that's NOT Final Fantasy.

You sir, are my hero.

 

[iFail69]

Is this Army of Two?

Person A: "Cover me"
Person B: "Fuck you man, cover ME!!"

ahhhh I will always remember that xD

Is this Army of Two?

I wouldn't know about that, I have neverplayed Army of Two, but I got it from Rainbow 6: Vegas 2. The generic terrorist lines in that game are so cheesy it's insane

 

[NikP]

"Send me back! I wanna play with the cool guns some more!"

That quote might not be exact, but it'll either be fairly challenging or very easy.

 

[KissofKetchup]

I'm Herbert Moooooon!!!!

 

[Johnny Impact]

"Magic is good...but now [his own name] leads! Swords for everyone!"

I know, too easy. How about:

Mook 1: What is that sound?
Mook 2: It is an angel singing!
Mook 3: It's a devil screaming!
Mook 1: It is the pounding of Creation's hammer on the anvil of time!
Mook 2: ...It's fucking AWESOME!

And from the same game, probably not quite right: "I keep order with my managers. The only ones I can trust. The ones who never let me down. Fear, and pain."
