"Welcome home, good Hunter. What is it you desire?"

"Time to punch a mountain... INTO SPACE!!!" - Jade Empire.

A great one from Another Crab's Treasure:

"I'm not-...!! I...I am getting angry, aren't I? I think, maybe, I've been angry the whole time. Ever since I left the tide pool. I never wanted to be. Everyone else seems angry all the time. I didn't want to be like that. But I can't help it! Not when people like you always get everything you want, and other people get hurt for it! It's not fair! And I'm really strong now, strong enough to stop you from making things worse!...I think I get what Chitan meant now. If I'm gonna be angry, I might as well use it for something good! So that maybe, one day, other people won't have to fight like me! And what better way to start than to beat up a SELFISH...GREEDY...MUSSEL SHUCKER LIKE YOU!!"

"Do you shoot at birds?"

Dare anyone to pinpoint that quote.

"Beware he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart, he dreams himself your master."

From Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, which is full of banger quotes

"Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaaaaake!"

Ah shit here we go again.

"It's a beautifull day outside. Birds are singing, flowing are blooming... and kids like you those days... Should be burning in hell." - Sans, Undertale

Since so many other quotes are already claimed, how about some Outer Wilds:

Seriously, I tried everything I could think of [...], and neither idea worked.

"Were it so easy." - the Arbiter, Halo 3

Problem: Seems like the point of this game is victory. The absence of defeat on all fronts. Victory in business ventures and creative undertakings. Victory in love and over other people. Political victory. Ideological victory. Hell, even sexual victory. Definitely a lot of object-based victories, too - having things and not losing them. One problem, though: not a lot of victors in sight. Everyone’s mostly losing. Why is that? And how do you not lose?

Solution: How not to lose? It is impossible not to. The world is balanced on the edge of a knife. It’s a game of frayed nerves. You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away - turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.

It’s probably not a problem… probably

Chingada madre!

I don't remember the exact line, but in Metal Gear Rising: Revengence they say something to the effect of "Just like the WMDs and Iraq!" Referring to how the US used a lie as a false pretext for invasion. It was just so straightforward and direct. Even today that would still be crazy, but that game has been out for a while. Pretty bold to put it in.

"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee"

Hello, my name is Dr. Glenn Pierce, and by now you may have realized that all of this has happened exactly the way it was supposed to. You see, everyone who comes to the institute does so because they feel they are no longer in control of something important to them. But, more often than not, the problem is not that the problems we face can't be solved; the problem is that we become so afraid of failure that we refuse to see our problems from a new perspective -- and so we do the same things again, and again, and again. And therein of course, we find exactly the failure we were looking for.

Your life will always be a struggle, and you will always have problems. But today, you had the chance to see things differently. Even though it meant facing obstacles that seemed impossible at first, you thought outside the box - and you overcame them. Because you saw things from every angle, you understood them for what they really were. Because you kept moving forward, no matter how far off the path you were told you were headed, or how unexpected it became...you found your way.

In a few minutes, you'll be back in the real world, and some part of you will say that none of this was real: So how could it have meant anything? But -- just like the power of perspective itself -- it will have been as real as you believed it to be. All you've got to do is... wake... up.

LEROY JENKINS!

"I don't think I can forgive you for that."

"...but I'd like to try."

We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead

There's no shame in it, Raziel - revenge is motivation enough. At least it's honest. Hate me, but do it honestly.

Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped... in a never-ending spiral of life and death. Is it a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle... and wonder if we'll have the chance to kill him.

"Nah" -System Shock 2

I don't want this life...

I don't know if its my favorite, but man it hits hard hearing that.

This always stuck with me. From Braid. Particularly the bonded paragraphs. I added the whole section for completeness.

Tim is off on a search to rescue the Princess. She has been snatched by a horrible and evil monster. This happened because Tim made a mistake.

Not just one. He made many mistakes during the time they spent together, all those years ago. Memories of their relationship have become muddled, replaced wholesale, but one remains clear: the princess turning sharply away, her braid lashing at him with contempt.

He knows she tried to be forgiving, but who can just shrug away a guilty lie, a stab in the back? Such a mistake will change a relationship irreversibly, even if we have learned from the mistake and would never repeat it. The princess's eyes grew narrower. She became more distant.

Our world, with its rules of causality, has trained us to be miserly with forgiveness. By forgiving too readily, we can be badly hurt. But if we've learned from a mistake and become better for it, shouldn't we be rewarded for the learning, rather than punished for the mistake?

What if our world worked differently? Suppose we could tell her: 'I didn't mean what I just said,' and she would say: 'It's okay, I understand,' and she would not turn away, and life would really proceed as though we had never said that thing? We could remove the damage but still be wiser for the experience.

Tim and the Princess lounge in the castle garden, laughing together, giving names to the colorful birds. Their mistakes are hidden from each other, tucked away between the folds of time, safe.

Don't have time to play with myself.

It's a-me, Mario!

From Assassin's Creed 2. Might be known from some other game too, I dunno.

"Well, This is the part where he kills us."

"Hello. This is the part where I kill you."
