the greatest speech in video game history

[Resident Fascist]

 

 Fellow Terrans, I come to you in the wake of recent events to issue a call to reason. Let no human deny the perils of our time. While we battle one another, divided by the petty strife of our common history, the tide of greater conflict is turning against us, threatening to destroy all that we have accomplished. It is time for us as nations and as individuals to set aside our long-standing feuds and unite. The tides of an unwinnable war are upon us, and we must seek refuge upon higher ground, lest we be swept away by the flood.

 

The Confederacy is no more! Whatever symbols of unity and protection it once provided is a phantom, a memory. With our enemies left unchecked, who will you turn to for protection? The devastation wrought by the alien invaders is self-evident. We have seen our homes and communities destroyed by the calculated blows of the Protoss. We have seen first hand our friends and loved ones consumed by that nightmarish Zerg. Unprecedented and unimaginable though they may be, these are the signs of our time.

 

The time has come, my fellow Terrans, to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength; already many of the dissident factions have joined us. Out of the many we shall forge an indivisible whole capitulating only to a single throne, and from that throne I shall watch over you. From this day forward let no human make war upon any other human, let no Terran agency conspire against this new beginning, and let no man consort with alien powers, and to all the enemies of humanity: seek not to bar our way, for we shall win through, no matter the cost!

I thought it was,

 

"Weiss, you dumbass! Start making sense, you rotten book, or you're gonna be sorry! Maybe I'll rip your pages out, one-by-one! Or maybe I'll put you in the goddamn furnace! How can someone with such a big, smart brain get hypnotized like a little jabroni?! Huh!? Oh, Shadowlord! I love you, Shadowlord! Come over here and give Weiss a big sloppy kiss, Shadowlord! Now pull your head out of your goddamn ass and START funking HELPING US!!"

For me it'd be:

 

"The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yet, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed... Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are... Death awaits you."

 

Or perhaps:

 

"Richter Belmont: Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!

Dracula: It was not by my hand that I'm once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute.

Richter Belmont: Tribute?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves!

Dracula: Perhaps the same could be said of all religions.

Richter Belmont: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!

Dracula: What is a man? (flings his wine glass aside) A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you!"

Wait, I just remembered, I think that THIS might be one of the best;

It's literally the first thing you hear when you load up the game Nier. It's a spin-off game of the Drakengard series, but you it's so far removed from the series I encourage people to play just Nier and ignore the other Drakengard games. It's an amazing game, low-budget but amazing writing and interesting gameplay. The speech is from a sort of mid-point of the game, but it's used in the opening cinematic.
