Excellent, but someone told me that is not a real quote from the game? If it is, I'll play it again!
"Blame yourself, or god." is also top-tier.

Oh damn I didn't know that. Been ages since I played it, regardless play it again, it's seriously the best FF game ever.
Will do!
Spec Ops: The Line has some good quotes, especially in the loading screens.
- Do you feel like a hero yet?
- The US military does not condone the killing of unarmed combatants. But this isn't real, so why should you care?
- How many Americans have you killed today?
I firmly believe that most people who hate Spec Ops: The Line don't understand what it's trying to accomplish
That's true, but I think quite a few get what it's trying to do and hate it for the same reason I hate Pathologic, or most Brecht play productions. They're just not fun.
"My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose"
Wind Waker remains my favorite LoZ for many reasons and chief among them is giving Ganondorf even the barest amount of characterization and motivation beyond "evil man bad conquer hyrule, stop him destiny child"
Wind Waker's Ganondorf was awesome, is awesome. Hopefully will be awesome.
ToTK Ganondorf was such a disappointment
"Dios mío!" (Draw a cross.) "A LIBERAL!"
Whole ass conversation with joyce is full of great quotes
When I first played it as a youngin, I thought the Gravemind cutscene from Halo 2 was the deepest shit ever and had every atheist cell in my body vibrating at the speed of light
"This one is machine and nerve, and has its mind concluded... this one is but flesh and faith, and is the more deluded"
"Lies for the weak, beacons for the deluded"
Green cyborg man and eldritch horror own the alien paladin by proving that his religion is fake with facts and logic 
"I? I am a monument to alll yooouuurrr siiinnnnssssss."
Halo 2 is so fucking good.
A couple from Outer Wilds.
Spoilers, though not huge ones.
As a child, I considered such unknowns sinister. Now, though, I understand they bear no ill will. The universe is, and we are. I am ready.
The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything to not know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse).
...are you still here? I am unsure how to survive in this place without you. (I am unsure how to be me without you.)
The past is past, now, but that's... you know, that's okay! It's never really gone completely. The future is always built on the past, even if we won't get to see it. Still, it's, um, time for something new, now.
and in the same vein:
Our curiosity goes with you on your journey. You walk in the footsteps of those who came before you, and your path guides those who will follow later.
tell you what, this has been really fun. And I got to help make something pretty cool, so I’ve got no complaints. I mean, not me, exactly, but close enough. It’s the kind of thing that makes you glad you stopped and smelled the pine trees along the way, you know?
I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm crying as i reread these.
Just because there are so many fucking bangers:
"In the dark times, should the stars also go out?"
"HARRY: The people who build this world intended it to be better for you, but they failed. It is easier to live in their failure with this by your side." (Tap on the tape recorder). The wind howls. She remains silent. EMPATHY: It's real. Tell her. HARRY: It is not a childish fantasy. It can be a real weapon against what's coming for you now."
"Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. It must be like the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation."
"The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know."
"What?"
"That the bourgeois are not human."
Probably my favorite DE quote. Also love that "0.000% of Communism has been built" one, though.
The last bit with the phasmid resonates with me so hard, I think, because of my sensory and social issues. There is so much goddamn information out there, all of it contradictory and painful and harsh and insidious, and I struggle to process it all, as I am compelled to process it all. "A kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass" sums it up pretty good. There is incredible beauty in the world, but guarded behind a gate of horrible pain. But not crossing the gate is a hell all its own. A lower hell, one devoid of meaning or purpose. To wallow, stagnate, and atrophy is a worse fate than facing the agonizing beauty of the world on its own terms. Every rose is behind a mile-long hedge of clawing thorns. But I have to remind myself the thorns are not all there is.
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
Creepypasta aside, the Happy Mask Salesman sets the tone of Majora's Mask so well. This ain't gonna be your beat-eight-dungeons-and-fight-Ganon kind of Zelda game.
"When the lake used to freeze, people would dance on the ice wearing boots with tiny swords. And fall in love."
Annual Skate weapon description, Destiny 2. Doesn't really mean anything, just vibes 
It's a giant worm! THEY'RE SINKING CITIES WITH A GIANT WORM
Not a white boy left standing, you're a credit to our tolerant society

- "Kept you waiting, huh?" -- ibid.
- "Vamp isn't for vampire, it's because he's Bisexual" - Metal Gear Solid 2
- "You're being silly! What we propose to do is not to control content, but to create context" -- Metal Gear Solid 2

To this day I have a hard time remembering what lines from Senator Armstrong in Metal Gear Rising were actually said and which were from the Max0r parody.
"Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance" - Mass Effect
To me, one of the best villain introductions even all these years later.
Everything was subjective. There are only personal apocalypses. Nothing is a cliche when it's happening to you
"Master, sir, did you just see my MAD SKILLZ!?" - Xenogears
"You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it." - Mass Effect
Sovereign starting his speech with "You are not Saren" is underrated tbh
No concern for who this disgusting insect is; simply disdain for one who is not already a useful slave
Darkest Dungeon 1 & 2 are full of gems. "Slowly, gently. This is how a life it taken." "Many heroes fall in the face of chaos. But not this one; not today." "At one point he was mourned. Now he's just... gone."
The entire Child's Shadow speech from Machine for Pigs. Definitely one of the biggest influences on nudging me to my political leanings today.
pure unfiltered doomerism
"I have stood knee deep in mud and bone, and filled my lungs with mustard gas. I have seen two brothers fall. I have lain with holy wars and copulated with the autumnal fallout. I have dug trenches for the refugees; I have murdered dissidents where the ground never thaws, and starved the masses into faith. A child's shadow burnt into the brickwork. A house of skulls in the jungle. The innocent, the innocent, Mandus, trod and bled and gassed and starved and beaten and murdered and enslaved. This is your coming century! They will eat them Mandus, they will make pigs of you all and they will bury their snouts into your ribs and they will eat. Your. Hearts!"
"Hope this interaction doesn't lead to any Fallout: New Vegas between us"
This is real darkness. It's not death, or war, or child molestation. Real darkness has love for a face. The first death is in the heart, Harry.
See you tomorrow.
i liked the arishok's speech in dragon age 2, even if the game was mediocre at best
Look at you. Like fat dathrasi you feed and feed and complain only when your meal is interrupted. You do not look up. You do not see that the grass is bare. All you leave in your wake is misery. You are blind. I will make you see!
resonated with me for some reason
"Butt Kicking! For Goodness!" -Minsc, BG2
"April: How can you do that? How can you remember every story ever told?
The Teller: The secret is to tell them often, and to tell them in your own words, not the words of your ancestors.
April: Doesn't that mean that the stories change with every generation?
The Teller: Yes, as all Tales must. Change is important, otherwise the Tales will have no meaning to us... They will be just words, and we do not care about the words. We care about what the words tell us."
