MEMORABLE GAME QUOTES!

By the host and narrator of most tourneys no less.

I remember getting stun-locked to death by that life bar rinsing shoulder barge thing he does in MK3, and I'm just imagining if he'd have hit me with that It's official line as well...dire. Fortunately I sat his ass down with Nightwolf.

'Ahh, fresh meat.' - Butcher, Diablo

'The sanctity of this place has been fouled.' - Your character, Diablo

'GET OVER HERE!' - Scorpion, Mortal Kombat

*random gibberish* - various Mortal Kombat charaters

'Damn, I'm lookin' good.' - Duke Nukem

'Let's go!' - Lemmings at the beginning of each level

'I live again.' - Caleb, Blood

'How's that for kung-fu fighting, you chickenshit?' - Lo Wang, Shadow Warrior

'Everybody dead. I like that' - Lo Wang

'Just like Hiroshima' - Lo Wang, after firing a nuke. I miss the 90s and its culture of irreverence

'Who wants some Wang?' - obvious

'You are weak as a baby fart. Go, live in fear' - Lo Wang, after defeating the final boss

'Hey peaches, how bout you moon me? Hahaha.' - Lo Wang after talking to Sailor Moon caricature

'Oh no. What a time to discover I have a hygiene problem' - The man with no name after a prostitute refuses to sleep with him, The Town with no Name

I think that's enough for now.

Zero gives a lot of them:
HUHAHU
I hid myself while i repaired myself
I bet most decent humans wouldn't understand, either, you look like another Maverick to me

And the goatest one:

I never cared about justice and never considered myself a hero, i've always fought for the people i believe, i won't hestiate, if an enemy appears in front of me i will destroy it

One of my favorites is this one from Solid Snake, powerful and timeless:

“Life isn't just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and movies... what we've seen, heard, felt... anger, joy and sorrow... these are the things I will pass on. That's what I live for. We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end sometime, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing.”
– Solid Snake

The English script for metal gear solid was closer to a "better written adaptation" of the original work in terms of how much was changed in comparison to the original Japanese script. Kojima considered it superior and even released the western version in Japan as Integral. He realised how much the dialogue was changed from his original script and made sure that translator never worked for Konami again.

I hold the western release of MGS in very high regard and only the phantom pain out of Kojima's works that he actually wrote. He's a visionary but he's really not a great writer. The translator for MGS2 even said he's terrible, or at least implied it.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head as quotable as MGS 1 was? At least not in the sense of a scene that had an emotional impact. More so meme worthy moments.

"It's the right thing to do"
"Ah, the right thing to do..."
"Why are you laughing?"

Sorry to be the "um akshually" guy, but that's not true; it's likely kojima just thought the english acting sounded cooler

He or someone at konami was displeased Jeremy Blaunstein tampered with the script because he thought he was "improving" it, I know because Blaustein bitched about it himself in an interview.
And about how he was never hired again by kojima's team, and how his approach was better in his mind; and then twin snakes scrapped his translation and used a new and more faithful one

When I found out I went "so That's why only mgs1 had snake do those macho one-liners.."

A sticking point to me is how he changed Psycho Mantisis' last words from being about him being nostalgic for his mom, to him feeling nice for doing a good deed
