History YouNoTakeCandle / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/DiabloI'': "We strong! We kill all with big magic!" Poor Snotspill had obtained a ''tavern sign'' depicting a sun and naturally expected it to be magical.

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight'' is the series' first example of this trope with Athena. Thanks to side characters in this game having little to say, Athena's vocal quirks get comparatively little time in the spotlight, although they resurface in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes''. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', Gregor seems to be suffering from a bad case of this. In the [[{{Woolseyism}} English localization]], that is. In the original Japanese, ''Grego'' ([[DubNameChange as he's known there]]) speaks in a somewhat rough-and-tumble manner befitting a globetrotting mercenary {{Oyaji}}, but is perfectly fluent in whatever the world's language is. Finally, Petra from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' falls into this trope, tossing out present progressives and definite articles like it's nobody's business. In her case it's made explicit that she's still learning the language, [[spoiler: and becomes fluent after the TimeSkip]].

* ''Videogame/Persona5'': Beast-type shadows talk like this when you interact with them. So does [[spoiler: the Reaper, who you can talk to for the first time in the series, but all he'll say if you try is "Me not want to talk to you. Me just want to hear your screams!"]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'': "We strong! We kill all with big magic!" The poor little demon had obtained a ''tavern sign'' depicting a sun and naturally expected it to be magical.

--> "Now we towelled the bear dry"
--> "Dusted talcum powder would feeling dry and smooth"
--> (when they're hungry) "My stomach cries cupboard"
--> "I am feel itchy on my back. Please help my scratch!"
--> "Now use shower washed the soap off"

* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey III: The Drowned City'': The barmaid speaks this way. It's surprisingly cute.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'': The entire [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Nopon]] race speaks like this. They are fond of this way of speaking, and say that the Nopon that try to speak more complexly and normally like the other races are just trying too hard to be cool. A sidequest in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' reveals that, at least in its world, this originated when a Nopon captain thousands of years ago decided to speak like this to enhance his RidiculouslyCuteCritter image and con humans into giving him stuff, and the entire species evolved to speak this way naturally and never looked back.

* VideoGame/LiveALive: In the Prehistory chapter, the skill and item descriptions are written in this matter. This also extends to the loading screen tips specific to this chapter, though these have an addendum in proper English in parenthesis.

* ''Life of Black Tiger'' has many grammar errors.

* The Chua of ''VideoGame/WildStar'' speak like this. They are [[BrilliantButLazy extremely intelligent, but they just can't be bothered]] to speak like the other races. Time spent learning grammar is time better spent on research.
* Played with in ''VideoGame/FreddyPharkasFrontierPharmacist''. Hopalong Singh, the Chinese chef, can speak perfect English, but Mom pays him to [[AsianSpeekeeEngrish Speekee Engrish]] instead because he'll sound more "authentic" that way. One of the Native Americans says he only uses TontoTalk to make the tourists happy.
* In an online game called ''Dora Care Baby Bears'' about ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' looking after bears, the instructions are written like this. They even call pacifiers ''children's nipples''.
--> "Now we towelled the bear dry"
--> "Dusted talcum powder would feeling dry and smooth"
--> (when they're hungry) "My stomach cries cupboard"
--> "I am feel itchy on my back. Please help my scratch!"
--> "Now use shower washed the soap off"
* ''VideoGame/ThereIsNoGame'' is mainly in proper syntax, but sometimes falls into this.
--> "No reason to use that icon as you were on the point of leaving...don't you?
--> "You're thinking about how to lift that big box, don't you?"
--> "How can I become a sales success with all that glitches?"

* Persona5: Beast-type shadows talk like this when you interact with them. So does [[spoiler: the Reaper, who you can talk to for the first time in the series, but all he'll say if you try is "Me not want to talk to you. Me just want to hear your screams!"]]

* ''VideoGame/SunsetRiders'': The third boss, Dark Horse, who rides a [[MeaningfulName dark horse]] covered in plate armor, introduces himself with, "You in big heap trouble!" When you defeat him, it turns into, "Me in big heap trouble!" The sixth boss, [[KnifeNut Chief Scalpem]], talks like this, too; he shouts, "Me ready for powwow!" when you meet him, and "Me powwowed out!" when you take him out.

* ''VideoGame/ReVOLUTION'': There is quite a bit of broken English in this game. The company FUN Labs is Romanian, so they might not have native English speakers on hand.

* ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'': The entire [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Nopon]] race speaks like this. They are fond of this way of speaking, and say that the Nopon that try to speak more complexly and normally like the other races are just trying too hard to be cool. A sidequest in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' reveals that, at least in its world, this originated when a Nopon captain thousands of years ago decided to speak like this to enhance his RidiculouslyCuteCritter image and con humans into giving him stuff, and the entire species evolved to speak this way naturally and never looked back.

* ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'': The entire [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Nopon]] race speaks like this. They are fond of this way of speaking, and say that the Nopon that try to speak correctly like the other races are just trying too hard to be cool. A sidequest in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' reveals that, at least in its world, this originated when a Nopon captain thousands of years ago decided to speak like this to enhance his RidiculouslyCuteCritter image and con humans into giving him stuff, and the entire species never looked back.

* ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}'': The Fallen seem to have a lot of trouble with human languages; of the few that speak English, only the Spider does so fluently and regularly. Mithrax and Variks both speak this way, with Variks speaking stiff, rudimentary English, while Mithrax often struggles to form complete sentences without mixing in bits of Fallen language (e.g., he says “I will kell the mind-open Eliksini” when he means to say “I will recruit open-minded Fallen for our cause”). [[spoiler:Variks can actually speak it pretty fluently, but he pretends he can’t to [[ObfuscatingStupidity make the Awoken think he’s stupid]].]]

* ''Videogame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'': The foreign member of Team Rocket you encounter in Cerulean City speaks like this.

** A spider who helps you in one mission sometimes talks like this, although not all the time.
*** Same goes for a firebug in the same mission.

** A {{Justified|Trope}} example is the wolvar (wolverine-people) of Northrend, who point out once or twice that there is no real reason for them to know Common/Orcish or how to write. For instance, on a "Wanted" notice board in Zul'Drak:

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'': Has the majority of the beastmen use simpler forms of the FiveRaces language, if at all. Goblins and Lamia are actually more fluent in the player's language, although for Goblins, being good at language is [[HonestJohnsDealership good for business.]] It's also subverted in that there's a very well-spoken Orc in ''Wings of The Goddess'', as said Orc is actually a cursed Elvaan. [[spoiler:Why is this text spoiler'd and not the earlier part? Because it's actually an aversion; the Orc is really a well-learned ''real'' Orc who puts this trope and the expectations of it to work in order to trick you into freeing him, and it's only until you meet him again in TheLostWoods that it's revealed you've been had.]]
