"There is a saying; A stopped clock still gives the right time twice a day. I don't like that saying at all. A clock ten minutes fast never gives the right time, but still gives a better sense of time." ~Sister Debora, RuneScape
"The closer you get to the light, the bigger your shadow becomes." ~Kingdom Hearts
Surprisingly good quotes. But my favourite line from thief franchise is: Reliance upon others is weakness for the strong, but strength for the weak. Wisdom and balance lie in knowing your own nature over time.
"In his name I've purged and slained everyone I've ever loved...
... And yet, I feel no regrets..."
- Arthas, Warcraft 3.
"I know you don't understand it now, Waerjak, but someday you will. Yes we are Barbarians. Yes, we are born warriors. But a warrior is not just a killer. He's a protector! You must have respect for life, and an even greater respect for your ability to take it. Otherwise, you're just a murderer."
"It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy, it is a sign of strength to cry out against fate, rather to bow one's head and succumb." - Gabriel Angelos, DOW 2: Retribution
"The Universe is a yawning chasm, filled with emptiness and the puerile meanderings of sentience. Why should you deserve special consideration within it, Augustus, above all else? "
Certainly one of my favorites! Ulyaoth to Pious in eternal darkness
"God was a dream of good government. You will soon have your God, and you will make it with your own hands." - Morpheus, Deus Ex
"The basic human need to be watched was once satisfied by God. Now, the same functionality can be replicated with data-mining algorithms." - Morpheus, Deus Ex
I was hoping to see SHODAN or Glados somewhere up there but oh well...
I've actually only just recently played both Portal 1 & 2, and I agree that there is some amazing writing in there. The same can be said of System Shock 2.
Although these two games are extremely funny/scary, I couldn't really find much personal meaning in the quotes, which is what this top 10 was supposed to be about.
I was so pleased to witness Metal Gear Solid on here, but I find the most inspirational, and touching quotes, come from Snake, Otacon and Meryl. Particularly when Otacon in MGS 2 speaks about love, and how you have to find it, not wait for it. And how Snake breaks under the pressure, after everything he went through during the Shadow Moses incident. My childhood is based upon the series, and it moves me every time I play those games.
@cendy70 Through this whole video, i was thinking "Oh man, im so gonna up war never changes and its gonna be awesome!" and then i scroll down. Denied.
"With only a few short years of evolution, they've been able to conquer this starship, mankind's mightiest creation. Where were we after forty years of evolution? What swamp were we swimming around in, single celled and mindless? What if SHODAN's creations are superior to us? What will they become in a million years, in ten million years? What's clear is that SHODAN shouldn't be allowed to play God. She's far too good at it." - Prefontaine, System Shock 2
"The Patriots' reign is finally over. We're all that's left of it's dying ember and soon, we'll be gone too. Zero becomes one, one becomes two, two becomes ten, ten becomes one-hundred. Taking it all back to zero will do nothing, so I'm taking it upon myself to return Zero, back to nothing."
"People are so caught up about what sort of life they want to live. But what's important is that you choose life ... then live."
- Naomi Hunter - Metal Gear Solid -
"Snake. We're not tools of the government -- or anyone else. Fighting -- was the only thing -- the only thing I was good at. But -- at least -- I always fought for what I believed in. Snake -- farewell."
"Look at you hacker,a pathetic creature of meat and bone,panting and sweating as you run through me corridors,how can you challenge a perfect immortal machine"
SHODAN,system shock 2
Has brilliant delivery,really sets the mood of the game
True that... I loved system shock 2. It had great writing and voice acting, especially when you could hear how the people's minds were progressively taken over by The Many. At first it was "hmm, i feel strangely protective to them".. a few logs later it was "the many sings to us"
What ever your good at man, if it's top 10 series then do that, the one you did was very original and half of these games I never heard of and it's refreshing to see something different.
The one from Torment is great... Such an awesome game. Gave me goosebumps just to rewatch the ending. Same goes for Deus Ex. The other ones I'm a little bit unsure of, but they seemed fairly good, if not as impressive. Something from the Baldur's Gate games would've been nice, though, especially since you used a picture from BG2 in the beginning. Maybe something off Irenicus' "Life is strength"-monologue?
Ah, well, originality is one of the weaknesses of the BG games, especially the first one. BG2 is a little better in that aspect, IMO, and some of the conversations are brilliant, both in dialogue and voice-acting.
I'm a little out-dated on DX3 news, so, chances are I haven't seen the latest trailer. Can't say that what I've heard about it really sparked my interest this far, though...
