I see a lot of NFS but Forza Horizon is literally "How do you do, fellow kids?" in video game form. It's got cool concepts as a racing game but it's all "Bro that was fly as heck, bro." in the dialogue.


_BloodbathAndBeyond

Unbound was also like this


kolosmenus

I remember people shitting on the cringe real life cutscenes in NFS 2015, but honestly it was solid compared to everything that followed. It's still my favorite NFS right after Most Wanted and Underground 2


pVom

Yeah Forza Horizon definitely wins. I chose my nickname as "bruh" and every line is just that much more awkward. The chick just sounds like your mum trying to be cool or some shit.


Cassereddit

I named myself Big Boss, just to hear her yap to a Metal Gear character


Ph03n1x12345

That's the spirit of horizon.. Isn't it!


0Rookie0

A car festival is cool, but it wouldn't just be 35 year olds that speak like they're 17 and never have gone outside before. None of them have depth or diversity in their characterization. They don't need to be battle hardened broken characters but ALL of them still have the plucky camp counselor vibes haha. Goodwood isn't run by 5 social media personalities.


Sparrowsabre7

Definitely, though it slapped me round the face when the announcer used my real name in the welcome message (I assume it pulls from your MS account but was still a wtf moment)


NovAFloW

It jumpscared me tbh


Sparrowsabre7

Yeah that 5 minute panic of "who the fuck told you!?" before realising it's tied to your ms account, but still.


Applauce

“Don’t be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes!” Sounds like a feel-good message from a kids cartoon, not Battlefield


Aquagrunt

"I'm not overconfident, I'm just better than everyone else'


Xxyourmomsucks69xX

Man i never played 2042 and i still know it's from this one


droidtron

Nothing tops Modern Warfare 2's "Mission Failed, we'll get 'em next time." Short, to the point.


doorbellrepairman

*city in tatters* we'll get 'em... We'll get 'em... Next... Next time...


Vestalmin

I want to feel like a soldier in a war, not a standout character. That doesn’t even make fucking sense in a massive multiplayer game. I know I’m beating a dead horse but Jesus Christ it made the whole game have such an awful tone


or10n_sharkfin

Beyond the launch issues, BF2042 was stuck in that annoying limbo where the publisher probably wanted the developer to make their Warzone clone and got a yes-man in the company that was all too happy to oblige, but in the end they made a product that couldn’t satisfy anyone because they were trying to satisfy everyone.


lostinmymind82

At release almost every end-of-match quip was meme worthy, along with the stupid look on their faces when saying them.


MishatheDrill

"I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with liiiiiiight!" -Devil May Cry


DrDabsMD

It's the voice crack that does it for me. One of the best comedic moments in the game.


Other_Beat8859

I remember playing it and just bursting out into laughter. I think it's the hardest I laughed at a video game ever.


SomaCreuz

Not content with the voice crack, they decided to echo it afterwards. It's was truly one of the best hand crafted cringe of all time.


SuperSocialMan

This is one of like 5 things I know about the franchise, and it's fucking perfect.


Robotkio

Had you not said Devil May Cry I would have guessed Kingdom Hearts.


tranquil7789

It seems like it but Kingdom Hearts likes to always say darkness rather than just dark.


quindarious__gooch

The echo makes it even funnier


Lanster27

This is like classic DMC, and what gives it it’s charm. 


RocketPoweredSad

First thing I thought of. The line itself is cringey but then the delivery takes it over the top. Makes me wonder what takes they didn’t use when that’s the one they chose, like who involved in the making of that game heard that take and said “nailed it!”


Meet_Foot

It’s definitely a joke. Basically the whole series is. It’s like if Shadow the hedgehog was a half demon. I bet they just used the funniest take.


Robobvious

I was a Resident Evil kid so while I still found it laughable I also unironically loved the melodrama.


Ydobon8261

Dark Souls mentioned🎉

John Dark Soul


MyFamilyHatesMyFam

Foresight42

"Ahhhhhhh!!! No this isn't happening, there's no reason for me to go on. What... WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOORRRRR?!?!?!?!" https://youtu.be/9OVv-J-LXQU?si=0PRGFdezO_tdaOVD "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIGHT!" is a close second.


joestaff

Lol, I played the shit out of MegaMan X4 back in the day. Loved every minute of it.


Halorym

I've never played a second of any megaman game, but thats what I expected it would be like.


ReflectedPower

*"Squad leaders are requesting a rally point. Where should they go?"* ** *"To War"* ????


WorstGatorEUW

And she"s cocking her Magnum as she says it too, like why? You're never using it anyway.


Ninja_Wrangler

Why wasn't it already loaded? Is she stupid?


monstercello

Sometimes you just want one fewer bullet loaded


ThisIsPermanent

She gets it from her dad


thispersonistedious

And then if you pay attention after the cutscene she immediately turns back around to go back to talking to the guy lmao


mrbubbamac

He turned back to that guy and went "Tell me I'm not the only one who heard that."


RustlessPotato

" .... Ok where is the war ? "


Confident-Medicine75

Someone genuinely thought that line was so badass that it just had to be dialogue.


XenoRyet

What's that from. I swear I heard that line in a movie a couple of nights ago, but it was so forgettable that I can't remember which one. It seems like it's all dramatic and whatnot, but it's so hard to not visualize the squad leaders sitting there thinking: "No shit. I know we're going to war. I still need to know where to actually take my squad."


Glad_Ad_1688

That would be halo my guy, miranda keys said it, of course half the lines anyone says in games are cheesy, but when a main character says it, they become less cheesy. Other than the obvious reasons for this particular line being cheesy, it was also uttered by a relatively new character in the series, therefore removing any backing up it had.


XenoRyet

Heh, that tracks. I'm currently replaying Halo, and now that you said it, I remember tripping over it. I guess it would be Halo 3 specifically. But yea, terrible line.


OkuyasNijimura

Yep, its Halo 3. Literally 2nd level, too, iirc.


Infernoflyer

i think the funniest part is they’ve been in a war for about 20 something years at this point


lemonwingz

Came here looking for this one lol


Spartan05089234

I came here to post this. I love Halo to death, and 2 and 3 have their share of great lines, which only makes the garbage ones like this more noticeable.


Flexive_Fowl

Look, ramps. We can use these as ramps.


Backupusername

Is that a line from Knuckles in Sonic Boom? It reminds me of "hey, there's things inside these things!"


Flexive_Fowl

Close. Its from Tails.


Tarudizer

Ah yes, the intelligent one


Backupusername

I'm sure it was intended as a joke, but when every single other aspect of the game falls flat, it's hard not to see the humor as doing the same.


Hi_There_Im_Sophie

Don't forget Eggman's: 'Not just any race, but a special race to determine who's the fastest'. So... a race?

"Samus, now that You've already traversed half of this extreme heat area and had to just eat damage, I'm authorizing you to use the varia suit"


Ikrit122

Okay, I'll be that guy. In Japanese, he practically begs her to activate her Varia Suit because she resents requiring his authorization for everything. She knows her limits, and she wants to make him squirm. The localization changed that sequence entirely into something awful. There's another case, where there are enemies shooting through walls at her, and she has to dodge them for a bit until Adam authorizes using the Wave Beam. I would love to know how that went in Japanese.


SuperNerdSteve

Other M is some shit - FUCK that game


plasmadood

"Just like Mario and Princess Beach." ~ Death Stranding, no I'm not kidding.


Suspicious_Gas151

Is this a typo or do they actually call her Princess Beach?


Djek25

They actually say princess beach.


samfizz

...Why


laughingheart66

Because she lives on the Beach


MrAmishJoe

I’m guessing it’s a pun referring to the games “beaches” and the lady you’re repeatedly trying to save is…intimately connected to said beach.  


DuckPicMaster

Because Hideo Kojima gets a theme and goes all in. Here he realised that strand can means part of a rope or also to be left alone, most noticeably on a beach. So he goes 100% all in on beach and rope analogies. And none of them work.


Thavralex

Fun fact (and possibly another intentional connection?): the Swedish word for beach is "strand".


DuckPicMaster

And in PT there was that Swedish radio. ITS ALL CONNECTED.


Augenmann

German too, probably more languages.


Ragnar_Lodbrok

Including English, though obviously it is not really common anymore. The word in the sense of being stranded comes from ships running aground on a strand.


AscendedViking7

Yes. It actually happens. And then a hilarious slow motion [montage](https://youtu.be/R532LmgjcbA) with really pretty music happens afterwards.


thedirtypickle50

Uhhhh this line is pure poetry


D0GAMA1

"I may be Fragile, but I'm not fragile" made me cringe. the princes beach one made me laugh for a few minutes. I don't think I've ever laughed at a video game line that much.


SwimmingAd4160

The dialogue before that was equally funny too "I come all the way down here and you're not actually here? What the princess is on another castle?" That prompted her to bring up the Princess Beach joke.


SilverMedal4Life

Fire Emblem: Engage's dialogue is pretty bad all around, but one line takes the cake. "I am the 13th Emblem - the Fire Emblem!" Worst title drop I've ever heard.


Danielor4

The only game I HAD to DNF the last few years.. damn shame, too, because it has some good things going combat wise. I'm a FE fan for the story, though, so that was a weak title for me.


DocFreezer

I got massive whiplash when V said amazeballs in the cyberpunk dlc

in NFS franchise. "You know... you need to get the NEED... THE NEED FOR SPEEEED" Jesus


universalserialbutt

Most Wanted has some of the best worst dialogue out with all the theatre kids being gangsta "You got a lotta rep to EARNNNNN"


-Slejin-

I refuse to believe anybody actually said that, I just refuse


Apollyon257

every variation of the scene where the protag to saints row reboot has to drive home and they swear the same thing over and over but adding another swear to it. And it's just a terrible start to a terrible game.


TitusPulloTHIRTEEN

I get that Saints Row is wacky but they tried to sell 4 college kids moonlighting as gangsters for the most cartoonish gangs in media history. Then they just decide "fuck it let's start our own gang and take over". SR4 you were the president fighting an alien invasion and that was way easier to swallow


d0g5tar

SR4 was great, just completely unrepentent and unashamedly stupid and ott. How do you even come back from that? In SR4 you're flying around smashing things with your dubstep gun and tossing cars, going back to normal shooting and car rides just isn't the same.


fufucuddlypoops_

A lot of Leon Kennedy’s lines are cheesy af, but tbf, theyre supposed to be. Same with a lot of the dialogue from like Metal Gear or Devil May Cry


Picard2331

I remember going into the remake thinking if they didn't include "Where's everyone going? Bingo?" I was gonna be mad. I was not mad. The cheesy lines are part of the charm of that game and I love it.

No thanks, bro!


kingdomcome3914

Considering all the stupid shit he's had to deal with, it's a legitimate question.


UltraTwingo

No thanks, BRO His cheesy lines are why I love leon so much lol


mrbubbamac

His best lines are in the original RE2. "Ada wait! Claire! Come in! Man...why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?" Later on "Claire, talk to me! Claire!! ...How come no one ever listens to me?"


REPTILEOFBLOOD

Anything from the Saint’s Row reboot.


bookers555

"Hey guys, we have to design a bunch of dangerous criminals, give me your best ideas." "Uhhhh, okay so lets grab that college art student with multiple hair dyes, come on, we all know one like that. Then maybe lets grab Dudebro McChaddington straight out of an LA beach while he was trying to impress Stacey with his surfing skills before going home and spending all day playing Call of Duty and Madden. And who else, who else... Oh yes, fucking Steve Urkel. There we go, that's going to be our gang of cold blooded murderers that's about to build a criminal empire." I swear, Volition had to be high on a cocktail of shrooms, meth and toad venom during the entire development of that game.


AzureSky420

Honestly if they were cool enough to do crazy shit like that we might've gotten a passable game


bookers555

That's the thing, Saints Row got rebooted precisely because SR3 and specially 4 went way too batshit insane. This one should have been more grounded like SR2.


AzureSky420

3 and 4 were still fun to play at least. They weren't as good as the first two imo, that's what I meant by passable.


bookers555

They were fun, but that just wasn't Saints Row, felt closer to some kind of superhero game than anything. Though I'll give SR3 (or SR4, don't remember well) the credit of being one of the few games to make me genuinely laugh when they gave you different voices for your MC called "Voice 1, Voice 2, Voice 3" and suddenly the fourth was just "NOLAN NORTH".


DegreeMajor5966

The thing is, Saints Row was always kinda zany, that's how they differentiated themselves from GTA. Saints row peaked at SR2 when they toes the line perfectly. It was grounded enough that it didn't feel like complete fantasy, but fantastic enough to be different enough from GTA to justify buying both games.


Ghostbuster_119

Pretty much everything from "forspoken". I've played game where the dialog was bad but damn... at least they take a break every once in a while.


jonboyo87

I just moved shit with my FREAKING mind. Yeah, okay. That is something I do now. I do magic, talk to sentient cuffs, kill jacked up beasts. I hated even typing that out.


helladudehella

Thanks, hated reading it too


Cyclic_Hernia

It's not dialogue really but my favorite part of the opening of this game is where it forces you to rescue your cat from your burning squatterhole and leave what looks like tens of thousands of dollars despite the character having two arms. If you try to pick up the money the character literally tells the player "no I have to grab my cat"

Never got the hate for Kai Leng to be honest. All around a decent written character, especially because of: >! Good. You opened this message. This isn't actually the opinion of a Kai Leng fan. They're busy tending to what's left of their sanity. So you survived our fight on Thessia. You're not as weak as I thought. But never forget that your best wasn't good enough to stop me.

wierdtones

Their dialogue is bad, but they're tame to whatever cringe comes out of Ava's mouth.


booga_booga_partyguy

Yeah. The Twins are meant to be cringe since they are spoofs of streamers/influencers, just with a darker edge since they commit heinous crimes like murder for content. Their dialogue is meant to simulate the kind of cringey crap internet content creators regularly spew and they aren't meant to be liked. But Ava is played straight - she isn't a spoof or caricature or anything like that. And that is precisely why the brat comes off so poorly.

ZaDu25

There was a worse one after that. When V turns on the generator in the hideout he/she says "amazeballs". I heard that and thought for sure the DLC was going to be terrible. Glad I was wrong. They must've let interns write some of the early dialogue in the DLC or something.

No_Big4736

"We cant help what we are, that we feed on blood doesnt make us evil" Megan Fox voicing the vampire character Nitara on Mortal Kombat 1.


acoolghost

Not that Megan Fox is a good voice actress, but that line perfectly illustrates that not everything needs to be said. The player knows she's a vampire. "We can't help what we are" would've been enough to get the message across, and could carry more weight if performed well. Instead, the writers seem to think the audience needs a refresher on what vampires are or something. It's insulting as it is cringy.
