I always loved this speech, and looking back onto it I could see how it could easily fit into the Warhammer 40k universe.




And to all the enemies of man seek not to bar our way, for we shall win though! No matter the cost!

I always thought this was a pretty good one, ymmv.

Best one ive seen is supprisingly recent:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of the most thought provoking and, from a story-line standpoint, one of the most beautifully written games I have ever played. And I have played a lot of games.

I picked Let Mankind Choose.
I didn't want to throw humanity into the dark ages, and I didn't speak to Taggart and Sarif to unlock the other options.

agreed, Even people with no interest in the game can take something away from the endings, they are that powerful

What exactly is amazing about this video again [in the OP]?

Put yourselves in the shoes of a kid who has never really played any games before, and had only played starcraft.
Exactly.

Agreed about the Deus Ex ending. Very heart warming and satisfying.

I quite like Scholar Visari's Speech from the beginning of Killzone 2. Obviously its a nazi pastiche but it sounds good.

My favourite Line is from Deus Ex 2. If you waste everyone in the trier Police station Chad Dumier says.
'I find your cavalier attitude towards human life sickening'.

EDIT 2
I like it when Jarl Ulfric says
'I would gladly retire from the world, were such a day to dawn'

Well. Just how powerful and well executed it was if you knew the back story around it. The part I quoted in my OP gave me the shivers.

Never mind if you were just a kid who had first played it. And Yes I have played every single game that the videos in the post come from, that was just my contribution.

I have played every Starcraft game, and ever Warhammer 40k game.

I was a big fan of the good ending speech from Fallout 3. It gave me shivers.

Probably the most memorable scene in a video game, I've ever had. Mainly because it was so crazy.

Where is this from, and where can I get it?

the paragon choice is always the best one and coolest ending.

Not true.
Renegade is a laugh a minute.
You get to force a guy to drink poison.
You betray a mother to her sex-vampire daughter who then takes her place on your team.
You push a guy out of a window.
How is that not hilarious?

Thats mean. Reread that and think to yourself. Wait I did that?
And when you run in and scream "THERES A BOMB!"
That is probably one of the funny moments.

Are you kidding?
I played the game again to see the funny parts...

Spoiler:

Shoot kids dad in front of him, then berate kid and tell him to stop whining.

I was gonna play Imperial Agent but bounty hunter suddenly seems more fun..
Also flamethrower...

Don't be so sure...

Also +1 for Scolar Visari and his speeches.

I offer an old game that still is a master class of scripting and game play, I offer Homeworld.

I know, I have
It's just that starcraft was one of the first games I have played, so I know the feeling.

But does one ever truly have a choice? One can only match move by move the machinations of fate, and thus defy the tyrany of stars...
