9* After one mission in ''[[VideoGame/AdvanceWars Advance Wars: Black Hole Rising]]'', Nell asks Max if he's alright. Max's reply is that his troops "eat this stuff for breakfast".
10* Though it comes just before [[spoiler:Drakath kills him]], Sepulchure gets an awesome one in ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'':
11-->"I '''AM''' DARKNESS! I '''AM''' DOOM... NO FORCE IN THIS WORLD CAN DESTROY WHAT I AM! '''LONG UNLIVE THE SHADOWSCYTHE!!!"'''
12* In ''VideoGame/{{Anachronox}}'', Sly Boots has one near the end of the game, at the second part of a boss fight after the antagonist has been chased into a second room.
13-->"You know what the difference is between you, and the you five minutes ago? The you five minutes ago had ''five minutes to live''!"
14* ''VideoGame/AnarchyReigns'' is full of badass boasts in the dialog. Even the majority of the game's soundtrack is guilty of such. Some examples include:
15-->'''Leo:''' I ''am'' the Law!\
16'''Nikolai:''' Your smile will not last long.\
17'''Baron:''' I'm the Blacker Baron, bitch!\
18'''Durga:''' I have the power of a god!\
19'''Max:''' Imposing your will, is a matter of ''strength''.
20* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'' gives us Cesare Borgia's "If I want to live, I live! If I want to take, I take! If I want you to die, '''YOU DIE!'''"
21** Unfortunately for Cesare, he has a penchant for uttering badass boasts primarily while someone is successfully making him look like a chump.
22* ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII''
23-->'''Jon Irenicus:''' I cannot be caged. I cannot be controlled. Understand this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools.\
24'''Sarevok:''' I live! Flesh and blood and bone! I AM ALIVE! HAHAHAHAHA! I swore I would scratch and crawl my way back into the world of the living, and I have DONE IT!\
25'''Firkraag:''' It is, as they say, your funeral. Now I'm afraid that you must feel the wrath of [[OurDragonsAreDifferent the most ancient of Faerun's species]]. Do you think your divine blood enough to match? I highly doubt it.
26** And then there's the mysterious, unnamed SealedEvilInACan in Watcher's Keep; all he needs to do is introduce himself when you choose to fight him.
27--->Know me, then, by my best name, mortal. You face Demogorgon, Prince of Demons.\
28(If you trigger the fight by freeing him instead) Demogorgon is free, Death my scepter and Pain my crown! The Prince of Demons will loose sweet destruction.
29** Half of Minsc's dialog in both games qualifies as a BadassBoast. All of it is SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}}.
30* From ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', "[[PrecisionFStrike Don't fuck]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome with a witch]]."
31* ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'': Henry activates a cassette player in Chapter 4, and then he hears the voice of Bertrum Piedmont bragging about the attractions he designed for Bendy Land. However, [[spoiler: it's not a recording: it's Bertrum himself. Because of a ThoroughlyMistakenIdentity,]] he delivers a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech meant for Joey Drew [[spoiler: to Henry instead. The whole speech ends with "You may think I've gone... But I'm still here!" The amusement park ride in the room with Henry promptly activates and reveals itself to be what's become of Bertrum Piedmont, and attacks]].
32* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':
33** Hakumen starts his fights with these:
34--->"I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand I shall reap the sins of this world and cleanse it the the fires of destruction! I am Hakumen! The end has come!"\
35"A match? No. This will be a ''massacre!''"\
36"Give everything, and you ''might'' live a little longer!"\
37"I hope you know what it means... to stand before me!"
38** Ragna's are little more concise, but no less badass.
39--->"You're too weak to stand infront of me!"\
40"I'll show you the power of the Azure! I'll show you fear... There is no hell, just Darkness. [[OneWingedAngel This is the power of Darkness!]]"
41** In the latter stages of the story mode, Jin starts throwing these around about as frequently as Hakumen. [[MyFutureSelfAndMe Which is appropriate.]] They're a little less grandiose, but no less badass.
42--->"Was I not clear? This enemy is mine, and mine alone. You are nothing more than a ghost out of my past!"\
43"I will no longer tolerate your existence."\
44"I am the cold steel, the blade that will restore balance to this world!"
45* In ''VideoGame/{{Blasphemous}}'', this is practically just how people talk in Cvstodia. Crisanta of the Wrapped Agony gets a particularly soul-shearing one after you have made your way to the top of the Mother of Mothers Archcathedral:
46-->'''Crisanta:''' I, Crisanta in Penance, [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal excommunicate you, expel you, execrate you]], with the Blessing of Our Miracle of the Greatest Pain. AND THUS SHALL YOUR NAME BE [[UnPerson ERASED UNDER THE HEAVENS]]!
47* From ''{{VideoGame/Bloodborne}}'', just five words: "[[LetsGetDangerous Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt.]]"
48* ''VideoGame/BluePlanet'': in a stand-off, the Shivans deliver one to the Vishnans, from one god-like race of {{Sufficiently Advanced Alien}}s to another:
49-->'''Shivans:''' You claim memory past fault or folly, yet still you forget. We slept beneath the waves before the first Brahman rose from the ashes of the Dawn War, before the first stars were kindled in the hearth of night. The Brahmans rose. The Brahmans died. In their death, we watched your making, and we knew: all things made shall be unmade. Even you. Only we are eternal.
50* ''VideoGame/BonanzaBros'': In the original Japanese flyers for the game, there's a quote from the brothers --
51-->'''Robo and Mobo:''' We're going to capture all of your valuable treasures!! Here we go, you gang of clowns!!
52* In ''VideoGame/{{Bonfire}}'' the "alone" barks that aren't OhCrap tend to be this, particularly Hildie's "As long as I'm here, you haven't won!" This can become unintentionally hilarious if the hero is defeated right after.
53* [=Zer0=] in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'' delivers these in ''haiku''.
54-->''Critical killing / Is an art unto itself / And I am Rembrandt.''\
55''I am eternal. / [[BlasphemousBoast Death will never capture me.]] / My skills exceed his.''
56* In ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps'', while [[spoiler: being forced to play Russian roulette, and after Bowman is killed]], Woods barks at the Vietnamese soldiers, "YOU CAN'T KILL ME!"
57** [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyWorldAtWar Reznov]] gives one to one of the scientists responsible for betraying his unit and killing his friend. The kicker? [[spoiler: It's not even Reznov saying it, but a comrade he managed to program into seeking down and killing the scientist in his stead in case he died. That's right, Reznov gave a badass boast ''from beyond the grave.'']]
58-->'''[[spoiler:Alex Mason]]:''' My name is Viktor Reznov! And I will '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis HAVE! MY!]] ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis REVENGE!]]'''''
59** One of the first Republican missions in ''VideoGame/COD2SpanishCivilWarMod'' takes place in Madrid under siege. On one of the streets, you can see a large banner displayed between two houses reading ‘Madrid will be the tomb of fascism’.
60* "I am the morning sun, come to vanquish the horrible night!" -- Shanoa, ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia''
61** Also a ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest''.
62** Shanoa gets another one in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair'', when revived after being killed.
63--->'''Shanoa:''' Hell could never hold me.
64** At the end of ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence'', Leon Belmont declares, "From this day on, the Belmont Clan will hunt the night!" He also declares earlier, "I'll kill you and the night!"
65* [[spoiler:Ballos]], the TrueFinalBoss of ''[[VideoGame/CaveStory Cave Story]]'', delivers what doubles as a BadassBoast shortly after telling the protagonist a snippet of his backstory.
66---> '''[[spoiler:Ballos]]:''' Now kill me! Or I... shall kill YOU!
67* Magus gets several in ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', likely because he's an optional character. He always has to use one before every major battle...
68-->"If history is to be changed, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it! If my fate is to be destroyed, I must simply laugh! I'm coming, Lavos!"\
69"Okay... give me your best shot... If you're prepared for the void!"\
70"Oh, how dreadful. Say, do you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper..."
71* ''Listen to the sound of your own extinction...'' The mad AI CABAL, of ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun''.
72** "Rule of the thumb, Hassan: You can't kill the Messiah!" (oft-repeated in many forms)
73**
74--->'''CABAL:''' A division of Hassan's Elite Guard is closing on our position. The probability of a favorable outcome can be increased if we can return to your main base and engage the enemy as we move.\
75'''Anton Slavik:''' Define "favorable outcome", CABAL.\
76'''CABAL:''' They all die.\
77'''Slavik:''' That'll do.
78** "The future? Comrade Chairman, I am the future!"
79** Quite a few units have these as well.
80--->'''Mammoth Tank:''' Unrivaled.\
81'''Apocalypse Tank:''' It is day of Judgement!\
82'''Overlord Tank:''' I am big!\
83'''Aircraft Carrier:''' Pride of the Allied Fleet..\
84'''Dreadnought:''' The Seas Tremble Beneath us!\
85'''Shogun Battleship:''' The Day of the Shogun has Arrived\
86'''Mammoth Armed Reclamation Vehicle:''' Size Matters\
87'''Juggernaut:''' That won't take long\
88'''Black Hand:''' The Black hand is in control.\
89'''Titan Mk.II:''' Pulverize Them!
90*** And most every other unit in the game.
91* ''VideoGame/CopyKitty'': Boki gets one after losing and retrying a few times against the {{Superboss}}: "Go ahead! Keep using your overpowered weapons and invincibility shields! They'll just make me ''[[PowerCopying stronger!]]''"
92* The ending of ''VideoGame/CrimzonClover'' has one for ''the entire ShootEmUp genre'': "Shooting game never die." Badass enough that [[NarmCharm one could forgive the poor English skills of the developer]].
93* ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' has [[{{Satan}} the Devil]] himself: [[spoiler:Lose to him in the second phase of the fight and onwards, and his death taunt is this, complete with a picture of him [[DecapitationPresentation holding the lifeless, decapitated heads of Cuphead and Mugman]].]]
94-->''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterII "Anyone who opposes me will be destroyed!"]]''
95* Among ''VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga '' fans, it's common to say that Kyle Katarn [[Website/ChuckNorrisFacts eats stormtroopers for breakfast.]] He never actually says it himself, though.
96* Since in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', InvulnerableCivilians is averted, many {{NPC}}s will shout a badass boast at you should you aggro them. [[LordErrorProne Siegmeyer]] has a truly epic one when he attempts a HeroicSacrifice for the player. Another ''awesome'' boast comes from RetiredBadass Hawkeye Gough when he picks his bow one last time to snipe Kalameet, a fucking ''dragon'', out of the skies for the {{Superboss}} battle. '''Mid-flight'''. For reference, '''''Gough's blind.''''' And Kalameet still goes ''down''.
97-->'''Gough:''' Now watch, and see how Gough hunts dragons.
98** In ''Dark Souls 3'''s Ringed City DLC, Shira, knight of Fillianore, has some choice words for you as you meet at the end of the world.
99--->'''Shira:''' I've searched for thee, dark-stricken creature. I am Shira, daughter of the Duke, descendant of gods, and trusted friend to Midir. At once, I am the honour of the gods, the glory of fire, and the fear of the dark. Thou shalt not go unpunished. For thy ''treachery'', thy ''profanity'', and thy ''shameless yearning!'' Remember this, creature. Ne'er will I forgive thy kind.
100* Eliphas the Inheritor gives an excellent one in ''[[VideoGame/DawnOfWar Dark Crusade]]''.
101-->"Hear my warnings, unbelievers, carried to your mind by the power of the Prince of Excess himself. We have raised altars in these lands so that we may sacrifice you to our {{God|IsEvil}}s. Veterans of ten millennia of unholy war stand read to grind you to dust beneath the treads of their boots. The [[BloodKnight chosen of Khorne]] [[AxCrazy hunger to add you to their bloody tally.]] The Blood God himself has marked this land and shall claim your skulls for his throne. There is no hope in opposing the inevitable, lay down your arms unbelievers and bow before the forces of [[ReligionOfEvil Chaos Undivided]]."
102** He gets another one when he attacks the Blood Raven stronghold in North Vandia. When Captain Thule is trying to rally his men Eliphas interjects with: "Such inspiring courage! Perhaps we'll mount your corpse on a golden chair and make an idol out of you as well."
103** "Only I can hear your prayers in this place, my friend. And I am afraid I will not answer them."
104** Basically everyone in the ''Dawn of War'' series speaks badass boasts quite a bit.
105--->'''Chaplain:''' Come, all you xeno scum and fallen heretics, come and face the one true might of the universe and wither under the Golden Throne's gaze!
106** Upon his BigDamnHeroes entrance in ''Dawn of War 2'', Captain Thule simply says to a [[BeePeople Tyranid]] Hive Tyrant, an immense living tank with scythes and guns for arms, that is intent on devouring all life on the planet: "I am Davian Thule. I am your death." He then proceeds to rip the Tyrant limb from limb.
107** SmugSnake Tahril in Soulstorm has one with this:
108--->''"I am the deadly shadow and the bird of prey. I am the poisoned dagger that brings swift death!"''
109** The Chaos Predator, a tank in Dawn Of War 2, gets one when one is summoned onto the battlefield.
110--->"This world will burn like a thousand others we have seen!"
111** The badass thing about it is that it isn't an idle boast or hyperbole, they really have destroyed a thousand worlds.
112** Farseer Taldeer from ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' had this line:
113--->"I've known my death for ten of your lifetimes, captain. Don't think to scare me with it."
114** A Space Marine chapter master's qualifications probably include a sizable catalog of such boasts:
115--->'''Gabriel Angelos:''' Come! Show me what passes for fury among your misbegotten kind!
116** Warboss Gorgutz in ''Winter Assault'' gives a really good one on the behalf of the entire Ork species, and even better, he backs it up, as [[spoiler:the Orks are the only faction in the game who defeat the Necrons with absolutely ''no'' help from the Titan.
117--->'''Crull:''' The [[HumongousMecha Titan Dominatus]] is one of the greatest war machines EVER constructed! \
118'''Gorgutz:''' WRONG, ya git! Da gratest waaagh masheen is da Ork WAAAGH! We don't need no damn tin contrapshun ta be strong! We IZ strong! Listen to 'em! Screamin' wit' wun voice across da whole planet! WAAAGH!
119* ''VideoGame/DCUniverseOnline'': '''"All will be one with ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}."'''
120-->'''{{B|igBad}}rainiac:''' I am Brainiac, and Earth shall be mine.\
121'''[[ThatOneBoss Black Adam]]:''' What hope have you, if these mighty warriors[[note]]Brother Blood, ComicBook/DoctorFate, Zatanna, Giganta[[/note]] could not? (When using lightning attacks) Prepare to suffer.\
122'''[[AGodAmI Circe]]:''' You cannot hold a candle to the flame that is '''my''' power.\
123'''Two-Face:''' A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush... and now, Two-Face [[PunctuatedForEmphasis rules! This! Roost!]]\
124'''ComicBook/{{Cheetah}}:''' I've slashed Franchise/WonderWoman with these claws.\
125'''ComicBook/LexLuthor:''' Oh, look! TheCavalry has arrived. This will be quick.\
126'''ComicBook/PoisonIvy:''' I'm like a weed. I will rise and bloom once again.\
127'''ComicBook/{{Etrigan}}:''' You fear Brainiac? I am worse!\
128'''[[DiscOneFinalBoss Prime Assassin]]:''' Brainiac's assimilation of the Fortress is almost complete. Resistance is futile. The sunstone crystals is our might. Attack if you dare.\
129'''[[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Doctor Psycho]]:''' (summons illusions of ComicBook/PowerGirl, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/WonderWoman to attack) One day, all these heroes will be my slaves. Today, their mere image [[YourMindMakesItReal will be your death]].\
130'''Scarecrow:''' Fear is the only cure. Fear is the only truth! [...] [[CardboardPrison Arkham]] is mine now!
131** Gorilla Grodd hands these out like candies on Halloween.
132--->"I will tear you apart! I am rage taken form!"\
133"Behold, the soul of savagery -- '''Gorilla Grodd'''!"\
134"You cannot fathom the power of primal rage. [[KneelBeforeZod Kneel before Grodd]]!"\
135"I shall never be caged again. [[BigNever NEVER]]!"\
136"Grodd will reclaim what is rightfully his -- and the world will feel his wrath!"
137* "Daddy can fix anything!" -- ''VideoGame/DeadRising2's'' Chuck Greene
138* [[VideoGame/DeadSpace3 Isaac Clarke]], facing down the final boss of the game, a being the size of a moon that can consume ''planets''. ''"You can't have us."''
139* ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}'' has some. Most of them are [[AllThereInTheManual buried in the lore]], but ''Destiny'''s bosses tend to throw these at you, ''[[AliensSpeakingEnglish if]]'' [[AliensSpeakingEnglish they speak your language]].
140-->'''[[AmbitionIsEvil Skolas]]:''' I am Kell of Kells! All Houses shall burn! [[KneelBeforeZod All shall bow before Wolf banner!]]\
141'''[[GodEmperor Oryx]]:''' ''You'' are the [[TheChosenOne last hope]] of the Light? [[GalacticConqueror I have Taken entire worlds!]] You are not worthy to face me!\
142'''[[TheUsurper Dominus Ghaul]]:''' Look upon me. [[RankScalesWithAsskicking Dominus]] of the [[BadassArmy Red Legion]]. [[StarKilling Annihilator of suns.]] [[GalacticConqueror Razer of a thousand worlds.]] [[KillTheGod Slayer of gods]] and [[BigBad conqueror of the Light]]. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Am. GHAUL!]] [[TagLine And I have become legend.]]\
143'''[[DeusEstMachina Rasputin]]:''' The [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Bray family]] shaped me to be an [[ProperlyParanoid all-seeing]] [[GateGuardian savior]]... while [[MildlyMilitary your Vanguard]] sought to wield me as a [[DumbMuscle primitive weapon]]. But today, [[IAmNotAGun that ends]], and [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming I define the reality of my own existence]]. [[ElectronicEyes My sight will stretch to the edge of this system and beyond.]] [[TheOmniscient Never again will a threat go unseen.]] From this day forward, I will defend humanity [[ItsAllAboutMe on my own terms]]. I am Rasputin, [[{{Protectorate}} Guardian of all that I survey.]] [[AGodAmI I have no equal.]]
144** Not to be undone, the Guardians have their own fair share of boasts in a DareToBeBadass fashion, particularly in the class descriptions.
145*** "If our flame should one day flicker and die, let it be to set your history ablaze." - '''Unknown''', regarding [[KillItWithFire Sunbreaker]] Titans.
146*** "Malphur can turn his gun to fire and Shinobu can dance with lightning, but when the horrors run out of the dark, I am the one who does not move. I am a wall. And walls don't move. Because walls don't care." - '''Unknown''', about [[BarrierWarrior Sentinel]] Titans
147** The named Guardians in the setting are no slouches themselves.
148--->'''Saint-14:''' Get off this line, Osiris.\
149'''Osiris:''' [[NoYou Make me.]]\
150'''Saint-14:''' ''(chuckles)'' You would not survive that.
151** [[TheEmpire Empress]] [[NobleDemon Caiatl]] gives one for her species: "We are Cabal. We eat the mountains. We drink the seas."
152** Xivu Arath, the Hive's [[WarGod God of War]], has made some of her own.
153--->''"MY HOME IS WAR. MY VOICE IS A BATTLE SONG. FOR AS LONG AS YOU HAVE WORSHIPPED WAR, YOU HAVE WORSHIPPED ME. I AM HERE TO CLAIM MY TRIBUTE. IT IS OVERDUE."''\
154''"I AM THE WAR YOU CRAVE. [[WarIsGlorious PURPOSE ETERNAL. A LEGACY IN BLOOD.]] WHEN YOU DRAW BLADES, YOU DRAW ME. YOU CANNOT RESIST WITHOUT INVOKING MY BANNER. [[WeCanRuleTogether EMBRACE ME, LIGHTBEARER, AND BE A GOD OF DEATH.]] CONSUME OR BE CONSUMED."''\
155''"I AM THE MOUNTAIN UPON WHICH ALL SWORDS '''''SHATTER!''''' HONE YOUR EDGE AGAINST '''''ME!'''''"''
156* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4:'' Nero's entire theme song is pretty much a BadassBoast from beginning to end. What makes it even more awesome is it's being directed at an army of ''demons'', and it's basically saying "Your weapons of terror and pain will not work on me, and I will unleash them back on you!" Some highlights from the lyrics:
157-->"I'll make you wish you had a soul to sell, when I strike you down and send you straight to ''Hell''!"\
158"My strength is pain, and I will never give in!"\
159"I make the angel scream, and the Devil '''[[TitleDrop CRY]]'''!"
160** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' has Vergil's theme "Bury The Light" drop similar lines:
161-->''I am the storm that is approaching! Provoking black clouds in isolation!\
162I am reclaimer of my name! Born in flames, I have been blessed! My family's crest is a'' '''''demon of death!!!'''''
163* ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor:'' The narration during the opening sequence, delivered by either God Himself or His second in command, Metatron. It instantly sets the tone of the game:
164-->One born of human flesh... Man is now a race of some power. You, son of man, must face the power you hold. And you must face your destiny as well... Though your days be peaceful, the fated time draws near. '''I am your judgment. I sundered the tongues of your fathers and shattered their arrogant power.''' So long as the Lord does not live in you, all living beings hold darkness in their hearts. If you truly wish to be yourself, then rise and fight the darkness within... the demon inside. If you have the will to challenge your destiny of battle, son of man, state your name... (...) As He proclaimed, this world, created in seven days, shall be destroyed by the sounding of seven trumpets. You who have a will, fear the numbers your eyes shall see. Fear the time left.
165* "Not even ''Death'' will save you from me!" -- ''VideoGame/DiabloII''
166** And into ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'':
167--->'''Demon Hunter:''' I stand alone. And as long as they keep coming, I will never stop killing\
168'''Tyreal:''' You cannot judge me! I am Justice itself!
169* ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'':
170--> "Dying Message": "Death's vastness holds no peace. I come at the end of a long road--neither human nor devil... All bends to my will."
171** Where do you find such an audacious boast? [[spoiler: After the ''{{Superboss}}'' fight against the ridiculously hard Demi-Fiend, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne''!]]
172* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'':
173-->'''Oghren:''' This is it, Warden. "When from the blood of battle the Stone has fed, let the heroes prevail and the blighters lie dead." As one of the blighters, I sodding salute you. Let us show them our hearts, and then show them ''[[AndShowItToYou THEIRS]]''.
174* In ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterZ'', [[ProfessionalKiller Hit]]'s Match Start introduction vs. [[PhysicalGod Beerus]] is 'I don't care if you're a god, you're all the same'. He's not denying that Beerus is a god, he's just saying that ''that doesn't make any difference to Hit's ability to kill him''.
175* ''VideoGame/DragonFable'': From literally the most evil villain that Artix Entertainment has created so far. as he launches one of the greatest attacks in history:
176** '''Sepulchure:''' FALCONREACH! On this day...you will know your place in the order of things. The tale of your destruction...shall be told for thousands of years! NO ONE stands against the mighty Sepulchure! NO ONE withstands my wrath. Your fate is sealed! Today...you will witness the birth of a legend! Today...I will destroy EVERYTHING you love. And when your heart is filled with pain and sorrow, and your mind is crushed under the weight of despair...I will claim the Orb of Darkness, and this world will be MINE. HAHAHAHA...There is nowhere to run. There is nowhere to hide.
177* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVI'': This is how Nokturnus introduces itself:
178-->'''Nokturnus:''' I am destruction. I am genocide. I reduce all to nothing.
179* In ''VideoGame/Drakengard3'' during Section D-8, Zero tries to give one of these out upon encountering what forces are left to stand in her way.
180-->"My name is Zero, the original Intoner, and the immortal--"\
181''[Mooks swarm her until she kicks them off]''\
182"KNOCK IT OFF! I'm trying to make a speech here! Now... Uh... Oh for [[PrecisionFStrike fuck's]] sake! Now I lost my place!"
183* At the start of one of the Boss Battles in ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D'', Duke is heard to say "I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck!" After the battle ends, there's a cut scene. Duke tears off the beast's head and throws it away, tosses down his backpack, turns around, unbuckles his belt, drops his pants, sits down, and pulls out a newspaper.
184** [[VideoGame/DukeNukemManhattanProject "There're only two ways this can end. And in both of 'em, you die!"]]
185* ''VideoGame/DustAnElysianTail'': [[TheHero Dust]] to [[BigBad General Gaius]] before the final confrontation, in response to "Then what are you?!"
186-->"I am justice incarnate, brought to this world by forces beyond your comprehension. A cleansing storm to sweep across the land and purge it of your foul presence. I am Dust. And your campaign ends here, now. Throw down your weapons and surrender, or you will face an enemy unlike any this world has ever seen."
187** Gaius counters this pretty effectively after the first round of fighting:
188-->[[spoiler:'''Gaius:''' You cannot win, Cassius! You never could beat me.]]\
189[[spoiler:'''Gaius:''' You never could ''scare'' me either, Cassius. Very well. To the death!]]
190* In adventurer mode of ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' when you first encounter a [[OurGiantsAreBigger giant]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] or [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent werecreature]] it will tell you about some of the historically important figures it killed, insulting each and every last one of them in the process. Boasts may also be dropped in the midst of combat, and, even with the limitations of the game's dialogue system, still manage to be awesome.
191-->'''Dwarf:''' In the midst of conflict... I laugh in the face of death!\
192'''Dwarf:''' I cannot just stand by. I will take revenge!\
193'''Dwarven Child:''' Death... I am not afraid.
194** Your adventurer can also brag about their past violent acts when talking to people. Your boasts get more badass depending on how important your victim was, and your character may make a racist comment if the victim was a high-ranking elf or dwarf.
195* In ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'', Giygas would have had a pretty cool one, but [[spoiler: he was absolutely insane at the time]], so [[spoiler: Porky]] had to give one for him.
196** In ''VideoGame/Mother3'', [[spoiler: Porky Minch]] gets some pretty cool lines:
197--->[[spoiler: '''Porky''']]: Let me fill you in on something. No matter how much you attack me, I'll never die. Even if I somehow wind up beaten, I'll never die. Bet you didn't know that, did you?
198* ''VideoGame/EldenRing'':
199** Godrick the Grafted introduces himself with a nice one.
200--->'''Godrick:''' Well... a lowly Tarnished... playing as a lord? I command thee, '''''KNEEL!''''' I am the lord of all that is golden!
201** Margit the Fell Omen dishes these out both before and after his fight, with the second one being him telling the Tarnished that the Night's Cavalry he leads will kill them sooner or later.
202--->'''Margit:''' ''[pre-battle]'' Foul Tarnished! In search of the Elden Ring. Emboldened by the flame of ambition. '''''Someone must extinguish thy flame.''''' Let it be Margit the Fell!\
203'''Margit:''' ''[on defeat]'' Cower in fear, of the night. The hands of the Fell Omen shall brook thee no quarter.
204** Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, is not of sound enough mind to deliver badass boasts of any kind, or do much of anything else but float around, blissfully unaware of the fact that she's even fighting you in the first place. Once you get her health down all the way, her daughter Ranni delivers a badass boast on her behalf as she remotely conjures a projection of Rennala at the height of her power (and sanity) to fight you.
205--->'''Ranni:''' Upon my name as Ranni the Witch, Mother's rich slumber shall not be disturbed by thee. Foul trespasser, send word far and wide. Of the last queen of Caria, Rennala of the Full Moon. And the majesty of the night she conjureth.
206** Morgott has a good one in the cutscene before his boss battle. [[spoiler:Which would make it his third overall, as he is the true identity of Margit the Fell Omen above]].
207--->'''Morgott:''' Have it writ upon thy meagre grave: "'''''Felled by King Morgott! Last of all kings!'''''"
208** Malenia has two, one for each of her phases. She isn't exaggerating in either phase.
209--->'''Malenia, Blade of Miquella:''' I am Malenia, Blade of Miquella. And I have never known defeat.\
210'''[[OneWingedAngel Malenia, Goddess of Rot:]]''' The scarlet bloom flowers once more. You will witness ''true'' horror. Now, ''rot''!
211* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
212** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'':
213*** BigBad PhysicalGod Dagoth Ur has few:
214---->"I have won this place and power by right of conquest. By right of daring and enterprise. I will not risk it to cunning and deceit. I offer you no deals. If you are my enemy, I cannot trust you. And even if you are not my enemy, I cannot let you live."\
215"What a fool you are. I'm a god, how can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive?"\
216"Omnipotent. Omniscient. Sovereign. Immutable. How sweet it is to be a god!"
217*** The ProudWarriorRaceGuy [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Dremora]] Anhaedra, [[BullyingADragon who has to be taunted into attacking you]] to complete a quest, will grow increasingly annoyed with your prodding, until he's really pissed off and attacks.
218---->"Your threats are weak like your flesh, mortal."\
219"Continue with your insults, mortal. I long to feast on your marrow."\
220"Ha! Fine words from one born from the wrong end of a guar."\
221"After I kill you, I will rape your corpse. Don't worry. I'll be gentle."
222** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', BigBad [[OurDragonsAreDifferent draconic]] BeastOfTheApocalypse is fond of these. (Bonus points for him delivering these with his booming EvilSoundsDeep voice):
223--->"'''I am AL-DU-IN! First born son of Akatosh! ''Mulagi zuk lat[[note]]The greatest and strongest[[/note]]''! I cannot be slain here, by you or anyone else!'''"\
224"'''My belly is full of the souls of your fellow mortals, Dovahkiin!'''"\
225"'''Zu'u unslaad! Zu'u nis oblaan!"''' (I am immortal! I cannot die!)
226* The introduction to ''VideoGame/EldritchLandsTheWitchQueensEternalWar'' has our lead character establish exactly how powerful she is in completely unambiguous terms.
227-->'''Sofia:''' I am Sofia Nitshe, [[BenevolentMageRuler Witch Queen of the Soulspear Kingdom]], [[TheChosenOne The Moon's chosen one]], Commander of the homunculus army, [[KillTheGod slayer of empire souls]], and this is my tale.
228* From a trailer for ''VideoGame/EVEOnline'': "For man is the Destroyer of Things, and the vicious master of his savage domain. We have our own place in the universe. And it is a dark, cruel role we play. We are the revolutionaries. We are the usurpers to the heavenly thrones. We are the enemies of the Gods."
229** "The cycle of life and death was supposed to end with us. We would've been the start of a new age. A destiny of light, an [[TitleDrop Empyrean Age]]. Yet these tombs call out to us... of all the heroes and villains vanquished within, cry out at once, begging for justice. We will fight for what we believe in, we will take a side, and our wrath will be furious."
230** Upon arriving in a system where two sizable factions are already duking it out, the commander of a third party gives his order: "Burn them all. This system belongs to us." Cue two Titan doomsday weapons firing into the battle.
231* In ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'', the player can perform various boasts before beginning a mission. Each boast adds [[SelfImposedChallenge additional conditions]] to the quest, such as completing it without any armour or without allowing any friendlies to die, and increases the payout for the mission proportionally.
232* In the lore of ''VideoGame/FallFromHeaven'', a ''sword'' gets in on the boasting. When that sword is called Godslayer, of course, it's got a right to.
233-->"Mulcarn breaks his vow. Take me to him, for he has forfeit his life, and is sentenced to die upon my blade. Take me to him."
234* Done hilariously in the original ''VideoGame/{{Fallout|1}}'' in an otherwise serious situation.
235-->'''Set:''' I am Set. Why do you tread my shadow?\
236'''[[PlayerCharacter Vault Dweller]]:''' I am the bringer of death. Fall to your knees and beg for mercy... Or give me a sandwich; I'm pretty hungry.
237** In ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' Fawkes doesn't really have great ''lines'' for boasts, but his voice actor's ''delivery'' of lines like "YOU!!! LOSE!!!", "I WIN AGGAAAAIN!!!!" and just his regular guttural screams qualify.
238** Another from ''Fallout 3'', by the PlayerCharacter:
239--->''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill I'm going to kill you]]'' '''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill SO MUCH]]'''.
240*** Or the more memorable one to Colonel Autumn during the interrogation. The best part is how simple it is and you can just hear him saying it very calmly.
241---->'''Lone Wanderer:''' Fuck you! I'm not telling you anything.\
242'''Col. Autumn:''' Now, now. Let's discuss this reasonably.\
243'''Lone Wanderer:''' No, seriously. ''Fuck you.''
244** In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', the Courier may deliver these if you take the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Terrifying Presence]] perk. For instance: upon your first visit to Nipton, Vulpes Inculta, dog-head-wearing captain of Caesar's brutal Frumentarii who just slaughtered the entire town, will try to muscle his way into making you take a quest where you spread word of the Legion's atrocities. Your response, right to his face?
245--->'''The Courier:''' I'll wear your head like you wear that dog's.\
246'''Vulpes:''' [[OhCrap Legionnaries?! We have a problem!]]
247** Even better is the one against the Brotherhood Paladins who threaten Veronica for going against the Codex.
248--->'''The Courier:''' I will cast down your Codex and bask in the dying agony of those who hold it dear.
249** Another one, when encountering a group of Legionaries:
250--->'''Legionary:''' Do you ever give up?\
251'''Courier:''' Not while there are still ''spines unshattered!''
252** The motto of the NCR First Recon, a unit made up entirely of highly skilled snipers: "The last thing you never see".
253--->'''Boone:''' Pretty accurate. And so were we.
254** [[MemeticBadass Joshua]] [[ImplacableMan Graham]] has two notable ones. The first is if you point a gun at him:
255--->''"Make your first shot count, you won't get a second."''
256** The second is if you threaten Daniel:
257--->''"[[PapaWolf If you harm Daniel or any of the Sorrows or Dead Horses, I will find you. Make no mistake. God willing, you will not leave this valley.]]"''
258** Joshua Graham may also well be the only person whose ''weapon'' has a boast on it. His gun, A Light Shining In Darkness, is etched with [[AsTheGoodBookSays John 1:5]], in Greek; the verse reads "And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not." The subtleties in translation means that the context of the term "comprehend" can be read as either EvilCannotComprehendGood or that [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin darkness cannot]] ''[[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin overcome]]'' [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin light]].
259** The Ranger Sequoia carries a simple phrase on its barrel: "''Against All Tyrants''".
260** Speaking of {{Memetic Badass}}es, Legate Lanius has a nice boast for you before the FinalBattle begins.
261--->''We shall see how brave you are when nailed to the walls of Hoover Dam, your body facing west so you may watch your world '''die'''.''
262** General Oliver ''tries'' to make a few if the Courier screws him over with the help of the Securitrons. Unlike the others however, he can't really back it up by himself.
263--->''"I would sooner spit on my dead mother's grave than let some courier walk-the-wasteland fuck talk to me like that. Who the hell do you think you are? Looking to cash your check in NCR bullets, eh? I can oblige."''
264** The Courier can then retort to Oliver's full rant with a short and simple boast/order of their own, which makes it ''painfully'' clear to the NCR who is actually in charge of the situation.
265--->''"I see. Yes Man, please throw General Oliver from the dam."''
266** On occasion, with the right reputation, you can simply use your ''introduction'' as one.
267--->'''Courier:''' They call me "[[TheDreaded The Courier]]".
268** In the finale of ''Lonesome Road'', if you manage to talk Ulysses down, he'll state that at this point [[spoiler:he can't stop the nukes and the Marked Men will be coming soon.]] However, he'll also offer you to join him in a LastStand.
269--->''"If we cannot prevent what happens, then let us make our stand here. [[MemeticBadass Two Couriers]], together, at [[HellOnEarth the Divide]]."''
270** The unique weapon This Machine, like A Light Shining In Darkness, has a badass boast carved onto it in the form of a ''comeback'' to the phrase that real-life musician Woody Guthrie carved onto his guitar: "This machine kills fascists". The phrase carved onto the gun in response? "WELL ''THIS'' MACHINE KILLS COMMIES!"
271** The player character in ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' levels a particularly nasty one on Conrad Kellogg during the main story.
272--->''In a hundred years, when I finally die, I only hope I go to Hell so I can kill you all over again, you piece of shit.''
273* ''VideoGame/FarCry3'': Jason Brody after some serious {{Fingore}}:
274-->'''Jason:''' I don't need ten fingers to use a knife.
275* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' gives Senji Muramasa a rather epic one that doubles as a BadassCreed during Subspecies Singularity III: Shimosa.
276-->'''Senji Muramasa:''' That's right. I don't have any idea where any of you are, so just keep your traps shut for a moment. At long last...it's time to do what I was brought here to do in the first place. You think there's nothing any of us can do now to stop this? You're a fool. Of course there is. Though I am not Jubei, the invincible swordmaster. Though I am not Hanzo, the great spymaster. Though I am not Abe-no-Seimei, like your so-called Caster. Though I am nothing more than a swordsmith, why was it that I was summoned? You could never figure it out, and so you have lost. I once sought to forge the ultimate blade. Not one that cuts through flesh, bone, or the living. I sought a blade that terminates enmity... A blade that severs bonds, severs certainty, severs karma. [[ImmuneToFate That is to say, to be free of one's fate.]] Uncountable years of toil to reach this place. Forging thousands of swords to create a barrow of blades. Many paths, converge here. Enduring desires, flow here. Unjust deaths, gather here. My whole life has been for this single swing. The heart of the blade is here! Accept this blow from my Tsumukari Muramasa!!!
277* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'':
278** Shirou, after manifesting his Reality Marble.
279--->''...That's right. I don't create swords. I create a world that contains infinite swords. This is the only magic allowed for me. There's no need to be surprised. These are all imitations. As you say, these are all trifling swords. But there is no rule that says an imitation cannot defeat the original. If you say you are the original, I will surpass every one of your weapons and destroy your existence. [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Here I come, King of Heroes. Do you have enough weapons in stock?]]
280** Archer has one: ''My strength uproots the mountains; my blades divide the waters!''
281** Gilgamesh: ''"All the evils of the world?" Bring at least three times that if you hope to stain me!''
282** And who could forget Rin's epic line from the Prologue?
283--->'''Rin:''' The world is just another word for the things you value around you, right? That's something I've had since I was born. If you tell me to rule such a world, I already rule it.
284* [[spoiler:Fresh out of hell]], the Emperor of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'' has this to say:
285-->'''The Emperor:''' This world can have but one emperor, and I am he!
286** Ricard follows up on that [[spoiler:while making his YouShallNotPass HeroicSacrifice]]:
287--->'''Ricard:''' You may have a little trouble spilling the blood of Ricard Highwind, the last of the dragoons!
288* In previous versions of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', when [[OneWingedAngel Zeromus]] makes his first appearence, he simply states what he/she/it/they is: pure hatred. In the DS version, Zeromus initially takes the form of a towering whirlwind of dark fire, and delivers this positively ''chilling'' boast:
289-->'''Zeromus:''' I am the wellspring of darkness, fed by Zemus's unbridled hate. I am He who is called Zeromus. I am He who knows ''naught but hate!''
290* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''
291-->'''III Atma Weapon:''' My name is Atma... I am pure energy... and as ancient as the cosmos. Feeble creatures, GO!\
292'''VI Ultima Weapon:''' My name is Ultima... I am power both ancient and unrivaled... I do not bleed, for I am but strength given form... Feeble creatures of flesh... Your time is nigh!\
293'''Sabin:''' You think a minor thing like the end of the world was gonna do me in?\
294'''Kefka:''' Life... dreams... hope... Where do they come from? And where do they go...? Such meaningless things... I'll destroy them all!\
295'''Kaiser Dragon:''' Humans and your insatiable greed... Your lust for power leads always to a lust for blood... This place is a sanctuary for wayward souls... What business have you filthy creatures here? You slaughter my brethren, and befoul their rest with the profanity of your continued existence... You should not have come here. In the name of all dragonkind, I shall grant you the death you desire. I am the dealer of destruction... I am the font from which fear springs... I am Kaiser... And your time is at an end.
296* Auron from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. Being a badass, any boast he makes counts as a BadassBoast. One notable example: "Being [[spoiler: dead]] has its advantages."
297** Jecht is promoted to a BraggartBoss in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', so he gets a lot of these. One of his victory quotes is: "There's no shame in losin' to ''me''!"
298** In Tidus' story mode, Jecht [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punches him twenty feet backwards into a wall]] and nonchalantly remarks: "Look what happens when I don't hold back!"
299* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', a magnificent subversion when the two fated opponents, set against each other by the Gods, and ''given'' power by the Gods (though one of them forcefully renounced it,) meet at long last for their FinalBattle:
300-->'''Vayne:''' Permit me to ask: who are you? An angel of vengeance? Or perchance a saint of salvation?\
301'''Ashe:''' I am simply myself. No more and no less. And I want only to be free.
302** Played [[LargeHam absolutely, awe-strikingly and gloriously]] straight, by a certain Masked Man...
303--->'''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Gilgamesh]]:''' '''FOOLS'''! You face the mightiest warrior in all ''IVALICE''! You face me! '''GILGAMESH'''!!! Long have I sought the blade of legend, SCOURED have I the furthest marches, East and West, and now my search brings me here, to YOOOUUU!! YOUR WEAPONS ARE FORFEIT TO '''ME'''!!!
304*** It helps that Gilgamesh is backed up by his very own theme song, "[[ThemeMusicPowerUp Battle on the Big Bridge]]."
305** From Judge Magister:
306--->'''Judge Magister Gabranth:''' Even a stray has pride.
307* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' gave us a rather blood-curdling one when the lead protagonist accused the BigBad of being a [[TheChosenOne l'Cie]].
308-->'''[[spoiler:Galenth Dysley]]:''' What can mere mortals do? Without our help, death is all of which you're capable. You've seen the fools: a mindless mob, drunk on fear of a few l'Cie.\
309'''Lightning:''' If only they knew a l'Cie was the one filling their glasses!\
310'''[[spoiler:Galenth Dysely]]:''' L'Cie? [[EvilLaugh Hmm-hmm-hmm.]] You mean me? [[EvilLaugh Heheheh.]] Oh child, perish the thought. I am '''[[MoreThanMeetsTheEye MORE THAN THAT!]]''' (cue TransformationSequence) I am [[PhysicalGod fal'Cie]]. My name is Barthandelus. Voice of [[TheEmpire the Sanctum]], and Lord-Sovereign of the [[JerkassGods Cocoon fal'Cie]]. [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Your kind]] '''[[LargeHam FEARED]]''' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech the darkness, so we gave you light.]] [[HannibalLecture You]] '''[[LargeHam BEGGED]]''' [[HannibalLecture us for]] [[InferredHolocaust the Purge]], [[HannibalLecture and did it not come to pass?]] Now you spurn our counsel? You must '''[[EvilIsHammy LEARN YOUR PLACE!]]'''
311** The fact that everything after the TransformationSequence is said in the VoiceOfTheLegion, and the player is treated with a sequence of the heroes' OhCrap faces, set to an OrchestralBombing accompanied by [[OminousLatinChanting Omnious Latin Chantings]] makes this Badass Boast transcend far into the territory of epicness.
312** Another from the game's penultimate boss, equally as epic, also said in the VoiceOfTheLegion. [[spoiler:Said Legion is composed of '''Barthandelus''' (above) and '''Cocoon's goddess Lindzei'''.]]
313--->'''[[spoiler:Orphan]]:''' A heaven, yea. Yet it must fall ere we be saved. Too frail a shell and humans should not thrive. Too stout a shell and they would not die. Slaughter and salvation! Two irreconcilable Focuses we bore. Yet bound were we in a cocoon prison, impervious to our power. And so we thank you, for granting us our longed-for birth.\
314'''Snow:''' [[OhCrap Dsyley?]]\
315'''Sazh:''' No. Not anymore.\
316'''[[spoiler:Orphan]]:''' We are the Abandoned One, born but now to die. Our name is [[spoiler:Orphan]]. By our hand, the world shall know redemption!
317** This is how Lightning introduced herself to Sazh in the flashbacks. The two of them are end up on the same Purge train, and Sazh figures out pretty quickly that Lightning has no plans to give herself up quietly.
318--->'''Sazh:''' Psst. Hey, lady. What gives?\
319'''Lightning:''' I volunteered.\
320'''Sazh:''' Really? 'Cause you don't look ready to go quiet into that good night.\
321'''Lightning:''' You want quiet, you better take the next train.
322* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV''[='s=] FinalBoss fight for ''Endwalker'', we get a number of them.
323--->'''Endsinger:''' You will never reach it. Never reach the deliverance you seek.\
324'''[[spoiler:Zenos]]''': Our hunt ends this day. There is nowhere you can flee that we cannot follow.\
325'''Endsinger:''' Even stars must die.
326** And of course, there's this:
327--->'''Endsinger:''' ''([[spoiler:After players tank what should have been a wipe thanks to the Scions]])'' What is this defiance?! [[VillainousBreakdown No! The hatred, the pain, the loss... We cannot suffer it again...]]\
328'''Alphinaud:''' We will stand against fate.\
329'''Alisaie:''' No matter the cost!\
330'''Thancred:''' We've been here before...\
331'''Urianger:''' Many a time.\
332'''Y'shtola:''' Thus do we know...\
333'''Estenien:''' To never give up.\
334'''G'raha:''' For hope will shine again!
335* In ''[[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]]'', [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Exdeath]], who has caught wind of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Kain Highwind]] knocking out his own allies and storing them somewhere, choses to corner Kain and demands of him to tell Exdeath where he keeps his KO'd allies so that Exdeath may go there finish the job. Exdeath further points out that Kain is in no good position at all; on the one hand he has a recently knocked out [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII Firion]] lying right next to him, on the other hand he has an OmnicidalManiac of a Warlock who has almost complete PowerOfTheVoid threatening to do duel with him if he does not meet said Warlock's demands. The question is thus posed: Will he abandon his friend, using Firion's life as a distraction, and use the moment to escape; will he say where he keeps his other allies so that Exdeath may go and destroy them instead of him and Firion; or will he stay and fight a hopeless battle? Kain replies by arming himself.
336-->'''Exdeath:''' So, you offer your life in exchange for theirs?\
337'''Kain:''' Of course not. I offer ''yours''.
338** Kain gets another one later. He's just offered to stay behind and fight both Exdeath, Golbez, ''and'' a host of [[{{Mooks}} manikins]] on his own so that his companions can continue on towards the real battle without hindrance. After fighting through the manikins, he confronts Exdeath again (while [[TheMole Golbez]] watches), even knowing that he's at the limit of his strength and he doesn't have long before he collapses.
339--->'''Exdeath:''' I am afraid that time runs short for you.\
340'''Kain:''' Truly. Then let us make this quick.
341** "Abominations! Can you hear me? Do you even have minds of your own? If you are aware of the world around you, you'd best rue the day you came here. I'm about to show you pathetic mockeries the difference between you and a ''real'' man!
342** [[FinalBoss Chaos]] gets in on the action as well when the ten heroes come to face him.
343--->'''Chaos:''' At the end of the dream, even chaos... '''tears itself apart!''' Let us mark the end to this ''eternal conflict''.
344** A surprisingly subtle, yet infinitely badass one from Yuna, of all people, spoken with absolute calm and confidence. "This is ''my'' story. It has a happy ending."
345** Squall gets a good one when Ultimecia and Garland ambush him. "[[CasualDangerDialogue This is better for me]]. [[RefugeInAudacity If I can defeat both of you, then it will make it easier for them]]."
346* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has a few of these as well.
347** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'':
348--->'''Wallace:''' Look! A giant walks among you!! My defense is impenetrable! Come! Break your weapons against me!
349** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'':
350--->'''Valter:''' I am Valter, the Moonstone, Grado's finest general! And you're just a corpse who does not know he is dead.
351** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'':
352--->'''Stefan:''' I am the desert, and I brook no intrusion. Make peace with your goddess.
353** Specifically, [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Ike]] has had some great ones. For context, [[spoiler:Ashera is the Goddess and final boss]].
354--->'''Ike:''' So that's how it's going to be, huh? Then we will fight... and we will save our people. Make your peace with whatever [[spoiler:the gods]] worship. Your end is near.\
355[[spoiler:'''Ashera:''']] My end is near?\
356'''Ike:''' In every battle that mattered in my life, I've always been the one left standing, no matter how slim my chances. This battle means more than any of the others, because it's for the life of every person that I've ever cared about. I will win this fight.
357** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'' has a lot of good lines when characters are about to get [[CriticalHit crits]]. Just a few are:
358--->'''Frederick''' Pick a god and pray!\
359'''Lon'qu''' How well do you die?\
360'''Henry''' I'm gonna kill you! (In a very upbeat and excited tone)
361* Sash Lilac, the heroine of ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'' has several:
362-->''"I don't care how dangerous this is. It's gonna take a lot more than robots and aliens to slow a dragon down!"''\
363''"Let's show this green maniac how to save a planet!"''\
364''"Your machines won't save you from the dragon you've unleashed! I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU THROW AT ME! I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!"''
365* [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon]] gets a pretty epic one in the story mode for ''VideoGame/FZeroGX'', just before facing off against [[spoiler: the ''creators of his universe'']]:
366-->'''Falcon:''' Come off it! You think ''you'' can beat ''me''?! Get real!
367** [[spoiler: They can't, as it turns out.]]
368* ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'' Ryougi Shiki has a pretty good one at the end of her arcade story mode in [[VideoGame/MeltyBlood MBAA]]
369-->"Hmph, don't regret saying that vampire, or whatever the hell you are. It doesn't matter how many tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of lives you have. Either way, this is the end of the dream. Let's do this -- as long as it's alive, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu I'll even kill gods]].
370* In ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar2,'' one chapter is spent hearing the Locust Queen deliver one of these to [[EnemyCivilWar rally her troops against the Lambent.]] Not to be outdone, Augustus [[LargeHam "Cole Train"]] [[BoisterousBruiser Cole]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome gets the mic...]]
371-->'''Cole:''' Delta Squad is in yo' house, bitch! You hear dat shit? You grubby-ass bitches are goin' down, like way down, ''dead'' down! So down you ain't gonna know what way is up! Yo' asses are gonna be cryin' to your skank-ass Queen! 'Oh mommy, you let the bad men hurt us!' FUCK YOU! We're gonna whoop yo' momma's ''ass''! WOO!\
372'''Baird:''' ''[shuts off the console]'' There we go, one muzzled Queen. (to Cole) Not you, her. You were great. I loved y-your speech there, especially with the bitch-ass stuff. Very good, very enlightening.
373* ''VideoGame/GhostbustersTheVideoGame'': "We eat gods for breakfast!"
374** "[[{{Hubris}} Too much]], do you think?"
375** "No, I like it!"
376* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarII'', when Kratos executes Poseidon's Rage:
377-->"[[IAmTheNoun I AM THE GOD OF WAR!!!]]"\
378"NONE SHALL DEFY ME!!!"\
379"I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER!!!"
380* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarIII'':
381-->'''Kratos:''' ZEUS! Your son has returned! I bring the destruction of OLYMPUS!\
382'''Kratos:''' The hands of death could not stop me. The Sisters of Fate, could not hold me. And ''YOU'' will not see the end of this day! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!
383* Alex from ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' gets one at the beginning of the second game. When he defeats a few guards, the survivor yells for reinforcements. Alex replies, in a normal tone of voice, "Do you truly believe even a thousand of you could stop me?"
384** ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'''s Tyrell has an answer to that: "[[LetsGetDangerous I'll smash you!]]"
385* The titular goddess in ''VideoGame/{{Gyossait}}'' says one at the beginning of the game:
386-->''"I shall wear your pain like the finest shawl, and dance before you in it."''
387* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' is practically a ''parade'' of badass boasts.
388** Arbiter Thel 'Vadam(ee) in ''VideoGame/Halo2'' has a very simple one:
389-->'''Half-Jaw:''' You are the Arbiter, the will of the prophets. But these are my Elites. Their lives matter to me. Yours does not.\
390'''The Arbiter:''' That makes two of us.\
391'''Half-Jaw:''' Mmff.[[labelnote:*]]Subtitles caption this as an "[[WorthyOpponent impressed grunt]]".[[/labelnote]]
392** Another comes in ''VideoGame/Halo3'':
393--->'''Elite:''' Brute ships, staggered line! Ship Master! They outnumber us three to one!\
394'''Half-Jaw:''' Then it is an even fight.
395** Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee (not to be confused with Thel 'Vadam) in ''VideoGame/HaloWars'':
396--->'''Arbiter:''' My face will be the last thing your pathetic eyes ever see.
397** Also in ''Halo Wars'':
398--->'''Forge:''' And for the record... I would have kicked your ass the ''first'' time if the lady hadn't stopped me.
399** The Master Chief to Cortana in ''Halo 3''. On board a giant ship literally wall-to-wall with [[BodyHorror Flood]]. Chief is a cunning tactician:
400--->'''John-117:''' Thought I'd try shooting my way out... mix things up a little.
401** From the beginning, Sergeant Major Avery J. Johnson had everybody else beat. In the original ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'''s opening cinematic, what Johnson says depends on the difficulty. On Legendary:
402--->'''Johnson:''' Well, I don't care if it's God's own personal anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?!\
403'''Marines:''' Sir yes sir!!\
404'''Johnson:''' Damn right I am!
405** On Normal:
406--->'''Johnson:''' Once again, it is our job to finish what the flyboys started. We are leaving this ship's platoon, and engaging the Covenant on solid ground. When we meet the enemy, you will rip their skulls from their spines, and toss 'em away, laughin'! Am I right, Marines?
407** Or when he's making fun of the Prophet of Regret in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'':
408--->'''Johnson:''' [''in response to intercepting a Covenant message which just repeats "Regret--Regret--Regret" over and over''] "Dear Humanity, we ''Regret'' being alien bastards! We ''Regret'' coming to Earth! And we most definitely ''Regret'' that the Corps just blew up our '''RAGGEDY-ASS FLEET!"'''\
409'''Pilots:''' Oo-rah!
410** Johnson is ''full'' of these, for every difficulty. One reason to play games through on different difficulties is just to hear what Johnson says next.
411--->'''Johnson:''' (to panicking marine in ''2'') When I joined the Corps, we didn't have any fancy-shmancy tanks. We had sticks! Two sticks, and a rock for the whole platoon -- and we had to share the rock! Buck up, boy, you're one very lucky Marine!
412** Even in the novels Johnson continues to give some awesome boasts.
413--->'''Johnson:''' (in ''[[Literature/HaloFirstStrike First Strike]]'' after he didn't get infected by the Flood) Hell, Chief, it'll take more than that pack of walking alien horror-show freaks to take out Sergeant A.J. Johnson.
414** Then again, there's the Gravemind's line from ''Halo 3'':
415--->'''Gravemind:''' I have defeated fleets of thousands! Consumed a galaxy of FLESH and MIND and BONE!
416** The Gravemind introduced itself with one of these. It's become one of the most famous lines of the franchise:
417---> '''Gravemind:''' I? I am a monument to ''all your sins''.
418** One Spartan has one in ''Halo Wars'':
419--->'''Spartan:''' WarIsHell and I'm the Devil.
420** Even the [[TheGoomba Grunts]] have one in ''VideoGame/Halo3ODST'':
421--->'''Grunt:''' There are ten million of us and there are a dozen of you, how do you like those odds?!
422** ''[[VideoGame/Halo4 Spartan Ops]]'' gets a pretty good one as well.
423--->'''Commander Palmer:''' The Covies....they believe this is the home of one of their gods. The way I see it, if those freaks wanna meet God, it's our ''duty'' to '''help. Them. Along.''' *Cue the ''Infinity'' jumping out of slipspace and ''ramming'' through a Covenant cruiser.*
424** Chief manages a subtle one himself in 2. No bragging, no taunting, no posturing, just raw confidence and a simple answer to a simple question;
425--->'''Cortana:''' Just one question... what if you ''miss''?\
426'''Chief:''' ''I won't.''
427* ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'s'' Agent 47: "I can do whatever I'm paid to."
428* ''[[VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead The House of the Dead]]: Overkill'' has Isaac deliver one for his partner G in the final chapter, "Overkill". Notably, the two started off on ill terms, but ascend to FireForgedFriends in the end.
429-->'''Isaac:''' The 'G' stands for 'genocide', motherfucker!
430** The introduction speaches of final bosses from the previous installments would've been this, if they hadn't been pure undiluted {{Narm}} due to BlindIdiotTranslation and terrible, terrible voice acting.
431--->'''Emperor:''' I am. I am. I am the one who rules over nature. I will [[InThatOrder destroy and hate]] mankind.\
432'''Wheel Of Fate:''' I am [[spoiler:Curien]]. I will destroy everything. And ressurect everything.
433* In ''VideoGame/TheIncredibleHulkUltimateDestruction'', Bruce Banner has just completed a machine that will allow him to confront the Devil Hulk, a pure evil version of the Hulk. The Devil Hulk taunts the Hulk, saying that he's nothing more than a scared child, and that he's going to erase him from Banner's mind. Silent up to that point, the Hulk retorts with his only line of dialog in the game.
434-->''Hulk is not afraid! [[CatchPhrase Hulk is strongest one there is!]]''
435* From ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy '', "I have bested [[KillerRabbit fruit]], [[SpikesOfDoom spike]] and [[BadMoonRising moon]]! And now I will best you, The Guy!"
436* In the ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' series, [[WeaselMascot Daxter]] has a habit of doing this ''all the time''. But it's important to note that, starting in the second or third game, [[TookALevelInBadass this started to change]].
437* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' has a truly [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome spectacular]] one when [[TheHero Pit]] and [[HeelFaceTurn Dark Pit]] [[BackToBackBadasses join forces]] against the Chaos Kin, while fighting against the thirteenth wave of enemies that it has summoned. Made even more noteworthy by the fact that they came up with it on the spot.
438-->'''Pit:''' Filth of the land, hear our words!\
439'''Dark Pit:''' And see our actions!\
440'''Pit:''' I am Pit! Servant of the Goddess of Light!\
441'''Dark Pit:''' And I am Dark Pit! Servant to none other but myself!\
442'''Both:''' ''[[PrepareToDie Together we will rain death upon you!]]''\
443'''Dark Pit:''' So anyone who wants to die, step right up!\
444'''Pit:''' And anyone who doesn't want to die, too bad!\
445'''Both:''' ''Aww yeah!''
446* In ''VideoGame/KillingFloor'' there is this quote from Patriarch:
447-->"Send more men, send entire armies! I will destroy it all."
448* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
449** The most famous one comes from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'':
450--->'''Aqua:''' [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya My name is Master Aqua]]. [[YouKilledMyFather Now return my friend's heart]] ''[[PrepareToDie or pay the price!]]''
451** And this one from the original game:
452--->'''Maleficent:''' You poor, simple fools. You think you can defeat me? Me, The Mistress of All Evil!!
453** Zexion from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories:''
454--->'''Zexion:''' Then I shall make you see... That your hopes are nothing! Nothing but a mere illusion!
455** His buddy Lexaeus, has a pretty good one, too:
456--->'''Lexaeus:''' I, Lexaeus, will not yield to the frail heart of an infantile coward!
457** From ''Dream Drop Distance'':
458--->'''Riku:''' Are you what's trapping him in that nightmare? Because if you are... ''I'm what Nightmares fear!''
459** Every. Single. Use. Of the series' ArcWords "My friends are my power!" takes the form of a BadassBoast--[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the original,]] ''Birth By Sleep'', ''Re:coded''. The most badass use, however, comes from ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'', two {{Badass Boast}}s on either side of a WeCanRuleTogether offer.
460--->'''Sora:''' ''[[ShutUpHannibal Just stop it!]]'' You treat people's hearts like bottles on a shelf, but they're ''not''. Hearts are made of the people we meet, and how we feel about them - they're what ties us together even when we're apart! [[ThePowerOfFriendship They're what... make me strong.]]\
461'''Xigbar:''' Duh! You're strong because of the ties you have with other people. [[IronicEcho As if the Keyblade would choose a wimp like you]]. But no pouting. We see much bigger and better things in your future... [[WeCanRuleTogether once you side with us!]]\
462'''Sora:''' ...[[TheUnchosenOne I know the Keyblade didn't choose me]], [[ScrewDestiny and I don't care]]. [[CallBack I'm proud to be a small part of something bigger]] -- ''the people it DID choose!''\
463''*Xigbar gives an OhCrap face as apparitions of '''the entire Keyblade-wielding series cast [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg plus Donald and Goofy]]''' materializes around Sora*''\
464'''Sora:''' My friends! ''They are my power!''
465* [[FinalBoss Igniz]] from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters2001'' gives one in his prefight intro:
466-->"N.E.S.T.S rules the darkness; I am its strongest... Try and best me!"
467* When Jack Kelso in ''VideoGame/LANoire'' faces against some mobsters while on investigation, he gives off this lines before returning fire after being taunted:
468-->'''Kelso:''' One thing you learn in the war, boys -- you do your talking once the smoke clears.
469* The indie game ''Lasagna Boy'' has a ''[[BadassNormal simple]]'' lasagna-delivery boy named Jon as protagonist. But right before he fights the final boss (who is a [[spoiler:freaking DEMON!!!]]), they have a conversation that can easily count as this for both of them, although Jon shines much more than [[spoiler:Molech]], with two simple lines.
470-->'''[[spoiler:Molech]]:''' DID YOU COME HERE TO MOCK ME?\
471'''Jon:''' No... I came here to end you!\
472'''[[spoiler:Molech]]:''' HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM? I AM [[spoiler:MOLECH!!! THE DEMON UNDER THE MOUNTAIN!!!]] I HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO REND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD! WHAT DO YOU HAVE? THAT LITTLE STICK OF YOURS? DO YOU REALLY INTEND TO FIGHT ME WITH THAT? I WILL RIP YOUR PUNY BODY INTO PIECES! CRUSH YOUR CARCASS WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE MOUNTAIN! AND CAST YOUR MANGLED REMAINS TO THE FIRES BELOW!\
473'''Jon:''' You can try!
474* In ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', every champion has a [[EmoteCommand /taunt]], some more than just one. Also, when you pick a champion in the champion select, they tend to say something boastful.
475** [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Veigar]] has the lines "Know, that if the tables were turned, I would show you no mercy!" and "Even death trembles in my presence!".
476** Cho'Gath: "[[FateWorseThanDeath Death is not the end for you.]] [[EldritchAbomination I have seen to it.]] [[TortureCellar For eternity,]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis you. Are. MINE!]]"
477** [[BadassBookworm Nasus]]' champion select is pretty blunt "The cycle of life and death continues. We will live, they will die.". However, his first Taunt takes the cake with just how beautiful is it while boasting "[[WarriorPoet Your legacy shall drift away, blown into eternity like the sands of the desert]]."
478*** "Anthropomancy: divination by [[HumanSacrifice entrails]]."
479** [[OneManArmy Xin Zhao]] also boasts, "[[UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject Bring me an immovable object, and I'll put this question to rest]]."
480** [[TheLadette Vi]] pretty much ''is'' this trope. Her quotes consist almost completely of TrashTalk and {{Badass Boast}}s. A few examples: "I like your smile. Makes a nice target", "[[ThereWasADoor Sometimes you gotta]] ''[[ThereWasADoor make]]'' [[ThereWasADoor a door]]", "[[IndyPloy Plan? I don't need a plan]]", "[[TheEasyWayOrTheHardWay We can do this the hard way or ... actually no, there's just the hard way.]]", "[[OneManArmy One girl wrecking crew]]", and "[[SayMyName 'Vi' stands for]] ''[[BloodKnight 'violence']]''!".
481** So is Draven, evident even just from his selection quote. "Welcome to the league of Draven!"
482** In his introductory video, [[DealWithTheDevil Tahm Kench]] has one of his own: "Boy, the world's one river, and I'm its king. Ain't no place I ain't been, ain't no place I can't go again."
483*** And his Champion Select quote isn't bad either: "Call me king, call me demon -- water forgets the name of the drowned."
484** Qiyana's entire character in one quote: "There is always someone who is better. And that person is me." Upon respawn she declares "See? Even death is no match for Qiyana!"
485* ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'', Vorador as he slaughters six of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, while they call for their protector.
486-->"Call your dogs! ''They can feast on your corpses!''"
487** Kain's
488--->"I fear no dangers, do you hear? They will fear me."
489** Malek's boast against Vorador wasn't half bad either:
490--->"I'll hack you from crotch to gizzard and feed what's left of you to your brides... "
491** ''[[VideoGame/LegacyOfKainSoulReaver Soul Reaver]]'' also has a few:
492--->"Kain killed me once, behold the result. I have nothing more to fear from you."
493** ''Soul Reaver 2'' gave Moebius one:
494--->"Poor, deluded Raziel... did you somehow imagine you had the guile to change history on me? I'm the Time-Streamer! I knew your every move before you did, you imbecile! "
495** And finally in ''Defiance'' during Kain's climatic clash with [[spoiler:the Elder]]:
496--->"False God! This is the end... the final turn of your Wheel!"
497** Following his we get:
498--->'''[[spoiler:The Elder]]:''' You cannot destroy me, Kain. I am the [[spoiler:Engine of Life itself... the Wheel will turn]]. The plague of your kind will be purged from this world. And on that inevitable day, your wretched, stagnant soul will finally be mine!\
499'''Kain:''' In the meantime, you'd best burrow deep.
500* Because it's [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda a list of the most recognizable heroes, villains, allies and enemies]] coming together to wage war, ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'' is bound to have this.
501-->'''Ganondorf:''' Hero? [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall I've outlived more heroes than you can imagine.]]\
502'''Cia:''' I ''will'' reclaim the Triforce! It shall be ''mine'' alone... as will the Hero.\
503'''Volga:''' Make peace with your gods... before I make pieces of you!
504* With ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', if you liberate all four Divine Beasts, then their Champions will deliver a boast before firing their WaveMotionGun. All four means slicing off half of Calamity Ganon's health bar ''before the fight begins''.
505-->'''Revali:''' Now my moment has finally come. Brace yourself, Ganon, for the sting of my revenge!\
506'''Mipha:''' This will be our final opportunity. We will not fail!\
507'''Daruk:''' Let's go, little guy. Now! open up wide, Ganon!\
508'''Urbosa:''' A hundred years in the making. Hold on, Princess. Our moment has arrived!
509* ''VideoGame/LoveOfMagic'': Several, as the protagonist and his companions grow in power.
510-->'''MC:''' I am the Sword of Mankind, Matthew. Merlin and the Horned Lord tinkered and plotted and crafted me for this. I'm not supposed to '''be'''... ''safe''. I'm supposed to meet the Outsiders face to face, and show them that there are scarier things than them in this world.\
511'''Bella:''' I'm a Chosen Werewolf. There ain't anything meaner than me on the streets of Edinburgh.
512* Gades in ''VideoGame/LufiaTheLegendReturns'' has one that became [[MemeticMutation quite memetic]] for [[BlindIdiotTranslation some reason]]:
513-->'''Gades:''' THIS is what I would call frue destruction!
514* At the end of ''VideoGame/MadWorld'', Jack himself gives one to a bunch of Mooks surrounding him...
515-->'''Jack:''' Come one, come all! [[spoiler:I already have three of these games under my belt, why not make it four?]] Just don't get cocky... WHO WANTS TO FACE [[spoiler:THE CHAMP!]]
516* ''VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable: The Gears of Destiny''
517** [[FinalBoss System U-D, the Unbreakable Darkness]], gives one during the scene when she first awakens. However, it was meant more as a [[PowerIncontinence warning]] [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds rather than a threat]].
518--->'''U-D:''' I am the eternally burning black sun, the shadow that blots out the moon, and therefore, the Darkness that can never be destroyed. Only destruction follows my awakening.
519** Unsurprisingly, LargeHam, former BigBad Lord Dearche delivers one if you pick her for the final battle against the Unbreakable Darkness, in response to System U-D's warnings about how she will only get killed fighting her.
520--->'''Dearche:''' [[YouFool FOOL]]! I won't be destroyed! Inside my body, the power of the [[spoiler:Stars and Lightning]] [[SuperEmpowering has been entrusted]]. These powers have led me to the path of reclaiming you! Above all that, I am unbreakable! Carrying these powers, I will wrench you out of that eternal torment!
521** And if Lord Dearche uses her ultimate attack in the ensuing battle
522--->'''Dearche:''' Gather, [[spoiler:Stars and Lightning]], back into my [[CastingAShadow darkness]]! This is MY Unbreakable Darkness! [[RankScalesWithAsskicking The power of a King]]! FALL, [[FinishingMove JUGGERNAUT]]!
523* A computer terminal on the level Kill Your Television in ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}} 2: Durandal'' contains this message:
524-->"I have been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh. I have been called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the world goes dim and cold. I am hero."
525** Durandal himself gets an awesome, albeit odd one in the first game:
526--->"Give me a D! Give me a U! Give me an R! Give me an A! Give me an N! Give me a D! Give me an A! Give me an L! What's it spell? Durandal? No. ''Durandal? No!'' T-R-O-U-B-L-E!"
527* Almost everyone's pre-quote in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' is this, but Taskmaster takes the cake: "YOU are the ass-kick'''EE''', I am the ass-kick'''ER'''!
528** Galactus' pre-quotes are the highest calibur of the series' bosses.
529--->"You are like an ant trying to oppose the sun."\
530"You are not unlike an ant... fighting the sun."\
531"If you are a god, then what do we call Galactus?"
532* In the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' series:
533** ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'':
534*** The exchange between Wrex and the Citadel Security officer ''as they're standing in C-Sec headquarters.''
535---->'''C-Sec:''' Witnesses heard you making threats in Fist's bar. I'm warning you, stay away from him.\
536'''Wrex:''' You should warn Fist. I ''will'' kill him.\
537'''C-Sec:''' Do you want me to arrest you?!\
538'''Wrex:''' I want you to ''try.''
539*** Sovereign gets an amazing one:
540---->"Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding. There is a realm of existence so far beyond your own you cannot even imagine it. I am beyond your comprehension. I am Sovereign. Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Your lives are measured in years and decades. You wither, and die. We are eternal. The pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything. [[spoiler:Your civilization is based on the technology of the mass relays, our technology. By using it, your society develops along the paths we desire.]] We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it. We have no beginning. We have no end. We are infinite. Millions of years after your civilization has been eradicated and forgotten, we will endure. We are legion. The time of our return is coming. Our numbers will darken the sky of every world. You cannot escape your doom. Your words are as empty as your future. I am the vanguard of your destruction. This exchange is over."
541** ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'':
542*** Quoth Legion: "We do not experience fear, but we understand how it affects you."
543*** Legion gets a line that was cut in his trailer to ''sound'' like a BadassBoast, ("You organics do not choose to fear us. It is a function of your hardware.") but in the context of the scene is actually very sad.
544*** [[spoiler:"Human, you have changed nothing. Your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater. That which you know as Reapers are your salvation through destruction."]]
545*** Really, almost all of Harbinger's taunts are {{Badass Boast}}s of some kind. Examples:
546---->"The forces of the universe bend to me."\
547"We are the beginning, you are the end."\
548"You are ignorant, we are knowing."
549*** A few from Grunt:
550---->"Nothing can hurt me!!"\
551"I am pure krogan. You should be in awe!"\
552"[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! AM!]] ''[[ProudWarriorRaceGuy KROGAN!!!]]''"
553*** "I'll relinquish one bullet; where do you want it?"
554*** Thane: "Killing is an art, and I... am a master."
555*** From Renegade Shepard, during Thane's Loyalty mission:
556---->'''Shepard:''' If I chose to, I could kill every person in this room and walk out unscathed.\
557'''Lawyer:''' You're insane!\
558'''Shepard:''' Our suits have kinetic barriers. Your legal briefs don't. And I'm in a hurry.\
559'''Thane:''' The law is only a protection if everyone agrees to be bound by it. We don't.
560*** Another one from Renegade Shepard:
561---->'''Garrus:''' The collectors already killed you once, and all it did was piss you off. I can't imagine they'll stop you this time\
562'''Shepard:''' ''(about to launch attack on collector base)'' The collectors are about to find out what happens when you piss me off!
563*** Kal'Reegar has a particularly good one on Haestrom:
564---->"The geth might get me, but I'm not going to die from an infection in the middle of battle. That's just ''insulting''!"
565*** From Paragon Shepard him/herself in the "Lair of the Shadow Broker" DLC:
566---->[[GoodIsNotSoft I sacrificed hundreds of human lives to save the Destiny Ascension! I unleashed the Rachni on the galaxy! So for your sake, hope your escape plan doesn't hinge on me hesitating to shoot a damn hostage!]]
567*** Tela Vasir gets one right after her fight starts. While she loses the fight, she still shows that she really earned her Spectre status.
568---->'''Tela Vasir:''' Now I'll show you what a REAL Spectre can do!
569** ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'':
570*** Quoth Grunt:
571---->'''Grunt:''' I don't need luck. I have ammo.
572*** And from Wrex:
573---->'''Wrex:''' I am Urdnot Wrex and [[PunctuatedForEmphasis THIS! IS MY! PLANET!]]
574*** One from Javik most people probably missed:
575---->'''Javik:''' My kind was arrogant once. It's not strategy, it's stupidity.\
576'''Wreav:''' What are you exactly?\
577'''Javik:''' Prothean.\
578'''Wreav:''' Really? And how many of you are left?\
579'''Javik:''' [[LastOfHisKind Enough to kill you.]]
580*** Before [[spoiler:killing the Reaper Destroyer on Rannoch,]] Renegade Shepard gives an epic one.
581---->'''Shepard:''' Tell your friends we're coming for them!
582*** And after [[spoiler:killing said Reaper.]]
583---->'''Shepard:''' Never mind, I'll tell them myself.
584*** Grunt's LastStand against the Rachni husks [[spoiler: though if loyal, he will survive]].
585----> '''Grunt:''' [[BloodKnight Hehe]]... [[LetsGetDangerous MY TURN!]]
586*** One rather epic in the ''Leviathan'' DLC is given by [[spoiler:one of the Leviathans after Shepard convinces them to help fight against the Reapers.]]
587----> "The Reapers who trespass on this world will know our power. They will become our slaves. Today, they pay their tribute in blood."
588*** Shepard again, from the ''Citadel'' DLC: "Try harder. The last guy who trash-talked me was a few ''kilometers'' taller than you!"
589*** One of Shepard's best can come from a [[GoodIsNotSoft Paragon option]] when talking to one of the main villains of the ''Citadel'' DLC, where s/he is asking said villain to cooperate.
590---->'''Shepard:''' Don't let us meet like this again.\
591'''[[spoiler:Maya Brooks]]:''' What's this? Is this the great Commander Shepard pleading for his/her life?\
592'''Shepard:''' [''in a menacing tone''] [[GoodIsNotSoft I'm pleading for]] '''[[GoodIsNotSoft yours]]'''.
593*** A oft-missed one from the Leviathan DLC, when Cortez is complaining about having to insert Shepard's squad into a [=LZ=] swarming with Reaper forces, and James tells him that it couldn't have been that bad.
594---->'''Cortez:''' Mr. Vega, taking on a sky full of [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/8/8b/Codex_Harvester.png/revision/latest?cb=20120320182449 worm-necks]] in a troop transport is like sending you against [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs the Earth invasion]] armed with brass knuckles.\
595'''James:''' [[BoisterousBruiser What? You don't think I could do it?]]
596*** Also, a Renegade interrupt of soldiers being soldiers:
597---->'''Marine:''' ''(salutes)'' Who's like us?!\
598'''Shepard:''' ''(salutes back)'' Damn few! And they're all ''dead''!
599* At the climax of ''VideoGame/MegaManX2'', we are treated to Zero's subtle little boast, [[spoiler:just freshly BackFromTheDead to]] destroy a pitifully weak clone of his that [[BigBad Sigma]] made.
600-->''Sigma, you should have studied the blueprints closer. There is only one Zero!''
601** There's also this gem in the FinalBoss battle of ''VideoGame/MegaManMaverickHunterX''.
602--->''I'll finish this. Right here, right now! I WILL DEFEAT YOU, SIGMA!''
603* ''VideoGame/{{Mercenaries}} 2'': after receiving a particularly grievous wound Mattias Nilson will proclaim "I ''eat'' pain!"
604* From ''VideoGame/MetalGear'':
605** "In the middle east, we don't hunt foxes, we hunt jackals! and instead of foxhounds we use royal harriers! just how strong is that exoskeleton of yours? Snake, are you just going to sit by and watch him die?" [[HeroicSacrifice "A cornered fox... is more dangerous than a Jackal!"]]
606** Also:
607--->'''Old Snake:''' ''(after [[spoiler:injecting Vamp with the nanomachine inhibitor]])'' Now you're just a mere mortal like the rest of us.\
608'''Vamp:''' Impressive...but can you kill ''this'' "mere mortal"?
609** And this one:
610--->'''Raiden:''' I am lightning, the rain transformed.
611** And this one:
612--->'''Naked Snake:''' And you're forgetting one more very basic thing. You don't have what it takes to kill me.
613*** And as it turns out, [[spoiler: [[ExactWords he really doesn't]]. Ocelot forgot how many bullets his pistol held, and had fired all of them off without remembering to reload.]]
614** Raiden shoots some more off in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''.
615--->'''Raiden:''' [[ForGreatJustice My sword is a tool of justice!]]
616*** Then, before the final battle:
617---->'''Raiden:''' I said my sword was a tool of justice... Not used in anger. Not used for ''vengeance''. [[HeelRealization But now... Now I'm not so sure]]. [[spoiler:And besides... ''[[LoopholeAbuse this isn't my sword]]''.]]
618*** His opponent for the final battle has quite a few of his own, though those just get hilarious.
619---->''Played college ball, you know? [...] University of Texas! Could've gone pro if I hadn't joined then Navy. [[spoiler: I'm not one of those Beltway pansies, I could break the president in two! '''With my bare hands!''']]''\
620''DON'T FUCK WITH '''THIS''' [[spoiler:SENATOR]]!''
621* ''VideoGame/Metro2033'' has a good one from Hunter near the start of the game.
622-->'''Hunter:''' You can all go like lambs to the slaughter, but I'll hold on to what life I've got with teeth and claws, and I'll take more than a few of your Homo Novus with me to Hell!!
623** Artyom himself gets one in the level-load narration in the final level of ''VideoGame/MetroExodus''.
624--->'''Artyom:''' Neither the Institute with its miles-long labyrinth of corridors and rooms, nor the ghosts, mutants or radiation will ever stop me. [[spoiler: Anna's only chance of survival is there,]] and I will grab that chance even if I have to pass every circle of Hell.
625* ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' gives us Captain "Tell 'em to join the bloody queue" Price and his rebuffing of the Kill/Capture order on his head. Then there's this exchange from the last level:
626-->'''Nikolai:''' Makarov's got a small army in there.\
627'''Price:''' It won't help him.
628* [[UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte Napoleon]] gets an excellent one in the opening cinematic of ''VideoGame/NapoleonTotalWar'':
629--> My enemies are many. My equals are none.\
630In the shade of olive trees, they said Italy could never be conquered.\
631In the land of Pharaos and pyramids, they said Egypt could never be humbled.\
632In the realm of forests and snow, they said Russia could never be tamed.\
633Now, they say nothing. They fear me. I have become a force of nature, a dealer in thunder and death.\
634''I am Napoleon!'' '''''I am Emperor!'''''
635* ''VideoGame/TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope'': US President John Glenn manages one with only three words. Basically, [[ThoseWackyNazis Martin Bormann, Fuhrer of the Third Reich]] comes over on a diplomatic visit and boasts that Germany will have a man on Mars by the 1980's. Glenn raises an eyebrow and responds:
636-->''"That far away?"''
637* In the final battle of ''VideoGame/NieR'', the title character has one that establishes both his status as a PapaWolf and TheUnfettered.
638-->''"You want me to understand your sadness? You think I'm gonna sympathize with you? I swore to protect my daughter and my friends. If someone puts them in danger, they must stand aside or be cut down! [[BringIt Come on, let's go!"]]''
639* ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'': Every character has one (or more) when fully boosted.
640-->'''Ophilia:''' Prepare yourself! / Here I go!\
641'''Cyrus:''' Now the true lesson begins! / My focus is ''unparalleled!''\
642'''Tressa:''' I won't hold back!\
643'''Olberic:''' My blade is unbending!\
644'''Primrose:''' Ha! Watch me now!\
645'''Alfyn:''' Let's get down to work! / Alrighty!\
646'''Therion:''' Let's do this! / I'm ready! Are ''you?!''\
647'''H'aanit:''' Holden back nothing! / Comen!
648* Michizane from ''VideoGame/OtogiMythOfDemons'' really likes these, heres the one he says while assuming his final form...
649-->"I am Life. I am Death. I am the Stars. I am the Heavens. The fires of hell echo in the skys, and I am reborn! Grant me power though your light! I am Michizane."
650* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' has quite a few.
651** Soldier: 76 has his ultimate activation quote
652--->"I've got you in my sights!"
653** Reinhardt, being a LargeHam in PoweredArmor, gets this
654--->"UNSTOPPABLE!"
655** Mercy's ultimate line:
656--->"Heroes never die!"
657*** And especially with her witch skin equipped, and ''especially'' in the Junkenstein's Revenge gamemode:
658---->"My servants never die!"
659** Widowmaker's ultimate line, although it's also a factual statement:
660--->"No one can hide from my sight."
661** Reaper is equal parts this and edgelord.
662--->"Death walks among you."\
663"[[MultiDirectionalBarrage Die! Die! Die!]]"\
664'''Soldier: 76:''' Aren't you supposed to be dead?\
665'''Reaper:''' Didn't take.\
666"If it lives, '''I''' can kill it."
667** Occasionally, upon spawning, Roadhog will deliver this gem:
668--->"I'm a one man apocalypse."
669** Genji's voiceline for first spawning translates roughly to:
670--->"Even if I sacrifice my body, I will never sacrifice my honor."
671** Sombra gives us one that, fittingly enough given her profession, doubles as a [[ShoutOut reference]] to Hackers:
672--->"Mess with the best and die like the rest."
673** Hanzo gives one to who he assumes is a hitman hired by the Shimada clan in the "Dragons" animated short.
674--->"You are not the first assassin sent to kill me. And you will not be the last."
675* Being a game with Ultimates, ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'' has many, complete with PowerEchoes.
676-->'''Barik:''' LAST ONE STANDING WINS! [[labelnote: Allies hear]]Hunker down![[/labelnote]]\
677'''Fernando:''' [[HeroicSecondWind I will not die...]] Not yet, amigo![[labelnote: Allies hear]]Together, we are strong![[/labelnote]]\

695'''Koga:''' [[YouAreAlreadyDead You're already dead!]][[labelnote:Allies hear]]Don't blink...you'll miss it![[/labelnote]]
696* ''VideoGame/Persona4'': "Can you make salad?" "I eat salad for breakfast!"
697** And for a more comedic example: "I'm going to RENOVATE your ass!"
698* Manfred von Karma in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' uses his perfect record, his claims to perfection, and tons of dread to intimidate his opponents. In ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations Trials and Tribulations]]'', Godot claims to have never been defeated as a prosecutor, using this to intimidate Phoenix; subverted when it shortly after is revealed it's because he's never had a case before. [[spoiler:As a prosecutor.]]
699* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment''
700-->'''Vhailor:''' When the injustice is great enough, justice will lend me the strength needed to correct it. None may stand against it. It will shatter every barrier, sunder any shield, tear through any enchantment, and lend its servant the power to pass sentence. Know this: There is nothing on all the Planes that can stay the hand of justice when it is brought against them. It may unmake armies. It may sunder the thrones of gods. Know that for all who betray justice, I am their fate. And fate carries an executioner's axe.\
701'''Nameless One:''' I see.\
702'''Vhailor:''' No, you do not see. ''Pray'' you never will.
703** '''The Transcendent One''' seems to like this trope quite a bit:
704--->"I AM THAT WHICH WALKS WITH ALL LIFE. MY VOICE IS A DEATH RATTLE, A LAST BREATH IN THE THROAT, THE WHISPER OF A DYING MAN."\
705"I CAN FORGE PLANES WITH MY POWER! I CAN UNMAKE YOU!"
706** And in the same tone, '''Coaxmetal''':
707--->"I AM IRON GIVEN PURPOSE. I FORGE THE IMPLEMENTS BY WHICH THE MULTIVERSE WILL BE UNMADE."
708** And the marvelously simple:
709--->'''Dak'kon:''' I have been here before.
710** Or...
711--->'''Dak'kon:''' I may be bested in battle, but I shall never be defeated.
712** '''Ravel:''' I have forgotten more of the Art than you shall ever know.
713* ''VideoGame/Portal2'': [[spoiler: Wheatley gets one during his FaceHeelTurn]]
714-->'''[[spoiler: Wheatley]]:''' [[OhCrap And don't think I'm not onto you too, lady.]] You know what you are? ''Selfish''. I've done ''nothing'' but ''sacrifice'' to get us here, and what have you sacrificed? ''Nothin'. Zero.'' All you've done is boss me around! Well now who's the boss? Who's the boss? '''''It's me.'''''[[note]] of course, this is all lies, either because Wheatley is an idiot, he wants to take credit, or both. The player did most of the work, completing rooms, even being the one who [[spoiler: pressed the "stalemate button", removing [=GLaDOS=] from power, and placing WHEATLEY AS THE ONE IN CHARGE OF APERTURE.]][[/note]]
715* ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'''s Alex Mercer roars this at [[GeneralRipper Colonel Taggart]]: '''''"NOTHING WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ME! NOT MEN! NOT WEAPONS! NOT ARMOR!"'''''
716** Note: Alex is [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge not]] [[UnstoppableRage kidding]].
717** Alex follows it up with "DIG IN! LIKE IT'S GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE!" when they send [[TankGoodness tanks]] after you while you're chasing after Taggart while he's in ''his'' [[KillItWithFire Thermobaric Tank.]] This is a tank which can blow up a city block in one shot, and Mercer isn't even afraid. He's just '''pissed'''.
718** Early on, to the first Hunter he sees: "I don't know what you are, but I'm gonna kill you!"
719** Not all Mercer. Some {{Mooks}} respond to being {{Neck Lift}}ed by Mercer by pointing out that "[[GroinAttack you're just bringing my foot up to ball level!]]" They never go through with it, but [[DefiantToTheEnd damn]]...
720* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': "I am the milkman. My milk is delicious. Special delivery today!"
721* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'': Arthur himself has two of them, [[spoiler:one in each choice you make in his final story mission regardless of honor]]:
722-->[[spoiler:''[if you go with John]'' "I'm coming with you. I'm gonna get you out of this bullshit if it's the last goddamn thing I do!"]]\
723[[spoiler:''[if you go for the loot]'' "Dutch... Micah... [[PrecisionFStrike COME AND GET ME, YOU BASTARDS!!!]]"]]
724* ''VideoGame/{{Rift}}'s'' [[BadassNormal Dacia Ultan]] has claimed more trophies than some entire tribes. And only let her quarry escape once.
725* From the little known game ''VideoGame/RiseOfLegends'' comes this jewel:
726-->'''Carlini:''' You want this thing?! ''Come and take it!'' I've been a soldier for 43 years! I've had my leg blown off! I've served in two wars! I've killed more men than I can count! I've never backed down from anything in my life! And I'm sure as hell not gonna start today.
727** [[spoiler:Subverted when Carlini promptly gets killed about three seconds after all his boasting by [[BigBad Czin]] who simply walks off with the MacGuffin. Complete with scream. Czin is apparently just that Badass.]]
728* From ''{{VideoGame/Rosenkreuzstilette}}'', ''"I have that which I must protect... even from the hands of God!"''
729** Grolla: ''"Then I shall become a demon slayer and crush you where you stand!"''
730*** Also: ''[[BringIt "...You plan on running me down? Show me your worst! There is nothing my blade cannot cut!"]]''
731* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'':
732-->'''[[InvincibleVillain Lucien]]:''' Do you know who you address? I am Lord Lucien of the [[HumanoidAbomination Mahjarrat]], Master of the Thousand Curses, [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} look upon my works and despair!]]\
733'''Wise Old Man:''' Vini; volui; mihi est ([[UsefulNotes/JuliusCaesar I came]]; I wanted; [[AppealToForce it's mine]]).
734** An exchange from "Ritual of the Mahjarrat":
735--->'''Lucien:''' [[WhoDares You dare mock the power of Lucien?]]\
736''{{beat}}''\
737'''Sithaph:''' We dare.
738** The player gets a sweet one as well from "[[ThatOneBoss Nomad's Requiem]]".
739--->"It takes more than death to kill me."
740** From Bandos, the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Big High War God]]:
741--->"[[IAmTheNoun I am War!]] I am Power! I am Bandos, the rightful god of all goblins, and through this puppet commander, I shall become god of all [=RuneScape=]!"\
742"[[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOU -- WILL - WORSHIP -- ME!]]"
743** He's not the [[EvilIsHammy hammiest]] yet.
744--->"I'll pop your limbs from their sockets!"\
745"I'll strip the flesh from your bones!"\
746"I'll devour your SOUL!"\
747"[[MadGod I am not crazy, I am a goddess!]]"\
748"I AM AMASCUT!"
749* ''VideoGame/SaintsRow1''
750-->'''Benjamin King:''' You forgot who you're talking to! My name is Benjamin Motherfuckin' King! I'm the man who took my crew from being a bunch of baby gangstas in Sunnyvale to being one of the most influential and feared forces in the goddamn city!
751* ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2''
752** When The Boss and Maero meet for the first time.
753--->'''Boss:''' Where's your crew?\
754'''Maero:''' I don't need one.\
755'''Boss:''' You sure about that? ''(puts a gun to Maero's temple)'' I could kill you right now.\
756'''Maero:''' No. ''(stands up to reveal his full height)'' You couldn't.
757** Ronin [[TheDon oyabun]] Kazuo Akuji gives one [[spoiler: while impaled on a katana just seconds before dying in a boat explosion.]]
758--->'''Akuji:''' When I escape, the WORLD WILL NOT BE BIG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO HIDE IN!
759* ''VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell''
760-->'''Johnny:''' I'm gonna shoot the Devil in the face.\
761'''Kinzie:''' I think you might be skipping some details.\
762'''Johnny:''' Nah, I said "in the face".
763* ''VideoGame/SaltAndSanctuary''
764** The Scarecrow is fond of this. It makes more sense once it's clear he's used to visitors succumbing to despair.
765-->'''Scarecrow:''' The others have begin to kneel. Will it join them?\
766'''Player:''' No\
767'''Scarecrow:''' Such a brave, foolish curiosity. It will struggle then. And it will bleed. And it will fall. And one day, when it finds itself beaten and broken, gasping for air, choking on its own blood and tears... that will be the day that it kneels. And I will consume it.
768* [[BattleButler Ranmaru]] in the original ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' has one, during the betrayal at Honnouji.
769-->"My body is a sword, and this place, a burial ground. Those who wish to die, come forth!"
770* ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'': The intro voiceover for the Illuminati faction certainly qualifies:
771-->"It's all about power: grabbing it, keeping it, using it... Power is our currency, our DNA, our God. We control the world. We provide the blueprint and we give the instructions. We're the people in grainy photos on grassy knolls; we're the shadowy faces in smoky backrooms and darkened boardrooms. We're right here, hiding in plain sight, buying and selling favours: blackmail, treason, deceit- these are our stock in trade. We work the magic of the drunken evenings with senators and chiefs of staff. We shake down demons, and negotiate with sorcerers. We have stocks in Hell, and compromising photos of Angels. We use any means necessary regardless of the cost, because the world is a bad place, and you can either do or get done. We're the Illuminati... '''and we're not done'''."
772* ''VideoGame/SegaHeroes'' has a [[MemeticMutation memetic]] scene in which [[VideoGame/GoldenAxe Death Adder]] trades boasts with ''[[BadassAdorable Cream the Rabbit]]'', with Cream even getting the last word:
773-->'''Death Adder:''' Cease your staring, creature. Do not look at me.\
774'''Cream:''' I'm not afraid of you.\
775'''Death Adder:''' You should be.\
776'''Cream:''' And yet, here we are.
777* In ''VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheDamned'' by Creator/Suda51, the main character introduces himself:
778-->'''Garcia:''' My name is Garcia Hotspur! Hunter of demons! My WRATH IS YOUR HELL!
779* Urias of ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'' performs one coupled with a ReasonWhyYouSuckSpeech when explaining his disappointment with [[spoiler: the illusionary Balthazar, which is manufactured to merely be a strong opponent for Urias to endlessly spar with]].
780-->"Strength on its own is directionless. Thirst for battle is helpless. Only when the two join is a mighty warrior born. ...You have sensed my thirst for victory, yes? Then you have understood my power."
781* Black Frost from ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'': "I'm Black Frost, ho! Don't underestimate [[BadassAdorable me]], hee-ho!"
782* ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'': [[{{Determinator}} Vyse]], every so often.
783-->''"Ha! No one's ever escaped before because ''I've never tried''!"''
784* In ''VideoGame/SlyCooperAndTheThieviusRaccoonus'', [[BigBad Clockwerk]] gives one to Sly in this exchange:
785-->'''Sly:''' How old are you?\
786'''Clockwerk:''' Perfection has no age.
787** And then slightly later in the dialogue:
788--->"Revenge is the prime ingredient within the fountain of youth."
789** And Sly's own retort: "That's where you're wrong. The Thievius Raccoonus doesn't create great thieves. It takes great thieves to create the Thievius Raccoonus."
790** El Jefe, an antagonist from ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime'', "once boasted he could take a country using just [[CherryTapping three blind mice.]] [[WithThisHerring Armed with plastic spoons.]]"
791* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
792** In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', Sonic himself gets in a particularly awesome one near the end of both the Hero and Dark Stories:
793--->'''Shadow:''' So there's more to you than just looking like me. [[WhatAreYou What are you, anyway?]]\
794'''Sonic:''' What you see is what you get, just a guy that loves adventure. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!
795** There's this exchange from ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'':
796--->'''Percival:''' I am Sir Percival, Knight of the Round Table, servant of King Arthur. State your name and your master, sir.\
797'''Sonic:''' I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog! I have no master except the wind that blows free!
798** There is also the fact that nobody so far has contested Shadow's claim to being the ''ultimate life form''. He introduces himself as such at least once in every game he appears in, ''including the game where he had amnesia for the entirety of it and didn't know who he was''.
799** Sonic spouts one in ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' when Eggman issues a public service announcement on Planet Wisp.
800--->'''Eggman:''' All of the planets found in Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park are, as far as you know, wholly owned by Eggman Enterprises and its subsidiaries. All unauthorized photography, video reproduction, and shutting down of generators is strictly prohibited. Thank you.\
801'''Sonic:''' Eggman! I ''am'' going to save this planet, and I ''am'' going to free these aliens! No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me! We can save ourselves a lot of time and broken robots if you just quit now!
802* In the second game of the ''VideoGame/{{Sonny}}'' series of flash games, Sonny and Veradux have just agreed to take out a cult that set up shop in the mountain village in return for Roald, the leader of the rebel movement, personally taking them to Hew. In one battle, the ranking officer among the zealots you're fighting shouts some orders to his underlings, and Sonny responds.
803-->'''Priest:''' Sacrifice the intruders! Their blood will save us from death!\
804'''Sonny:''' But nothing will save you from ME.
805* Gig from ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'' introduces himself to the main character thus shortly before trying to [[DemonicPossession possess]] them: "...Me? Oh, just the most '''hard-core ass-kicker''' to ever walk the planet, is all. The destroyer of everything! The commander of the World Eaters! But hell, you can just call me Gig."
806** And of course there's his LEGENDARY lines right before the battle that ends with him sealed in the black sword: "Come on, you little shits! Are none of you man enough to stand up to me?! Then put your heads between your legs while I cut you down one by one! Ah, finally someone steps up! You numbnuts better not waste my time!"
807* From ''VideoGame/SplinterCell'' "I'm the guy you never saw."
808* ''VideoGame/StarCraft''
809-->'''Fenix:''' I fear no enemy, for the Khala is my strength! I fear not death, for our strength is eternal!
810** Protoss Zealots get these as response quotes.
811--->"I am Templar. I am the sword of truth!"\
812"Fear is for the enemy."\
813"Our ''fury'' is ''bound''less."\
814"None can withstand the Templar!"\
815'''Kerrigan:''' I am the Queen of Blades, and my stare alone would reduce you to ash!
816** Also:
817--->'''Kerrigan:''' You see at this point I'm pretty much the queen bitch of the universe.
818** Also, Zeratul.
819--->'''Zeratul:''' You speak of knowledge, Judicator? You speak of experience? I have journeyed through the darkness between the most distant stars. I have beheld the births of negative-suns and borne witness to the entropy of entire realities... Unto my experience, Aldaris, all that you've built here on Aiur is but a fleeting dream. A dream from which your precious Conclave shall awaken, finding themselves drowned in a greater nightmare.
820** Or Duran's:
821--->'''Duran:''' This creature is the completion of a cycle. Its role in the Cosmic Order was preordained when the stars were young. Behold the culmination of your history... You can destroy all of the specimens here; it will do you no good. For I have seeded the hybrid on many, many worlds. You will never find them all before they awaken. And when they do, your universe will be changed... ''forever...''
822** Or Raynor's:
823--->'''Raynor:''' I'll see you ''dead'' for this, Kerrigan! For Fenix, and ''all the others'' who got caught between you and your mad quest for power!\
824'''Kerrigan:''' Tough talk, Jimmy, but I don't think you have what it takes to be a killer.\
825'''Raynor:''' It may not be tomorrow, darlin', it may not even happen with an army at my back. But rest assured: ''I'm the man who's gonna kill you one day!'' I'll be seeing you.
826** Or Mengsk's:
827--->'''Mengsk:''' You don't seem to realize my situation here. I will not be stopped. Not by you, or the Confederates, or the Protoss or anyone! I will rule this sector or see it burnt to ashes around me.
828*** [[spoiler:This bites him in the ass in the sequel.]]
829** Kerrigan gets another [[spoiler:in the second trailer of The Heart of the Swarm]]
830--->'''Kerrigan:''' ''"I am the swarm. '''Vengeance''' shall be mine!"''
831** After Kerrigan defeats [[spoiler: Narud]] in Heart of the Swarm and prepares to depart in her leviathan, she reveals what she's learned to the others.
832--->'''Kerrigan:''' I saw [[spoiler: Amon. Older than the universe, more powerful than anything I can understand. And now, he's alive again.]]\
833[[spoiler:'''Zagara:''']] Then he shall fall before the Swarm, like all the rest.
834** Dehaka gets a simple but effective one.
835--->'''Dehaka:''' I do not need walls. I will evolve armor. I do not need weapons. I will evolve claws.
836** Even Warfield gets one.
837--->'''Warfield:''' Bring everything you have. Bring your whole swarm! I don't want to have to hunt down any stragglers after I'm through with you.
838** At the beginning of ''Heart of the Swarm'''s final mission:
839--->'''Arcturus:''' Kerrigan. The die is cast. This is the last day your Swarm darkens the sky of ''any'' planet! Korhal will endure, as will I!\
840'''Kerrigan:''' [[LampshadeHanging Nice quote]]. [[ShutUpHannibal I'll engrave it on your tombstone]].
841* ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' gives Worf one during "Sphere of Influence". Flanked by a fleet of Elachi ships and the only thing between them and obtaining the [[spoiler:Iconian Gateway in space]] is your newly-obtained Obelisk carrier, the ''Enterprise''-F, the Klingon's Bortasqu' and the Romulans' Scimitar.
842-->'''Worf:''' The Elachi can send their entire fleet. ''We will not fail.''
843* One in a trailer for ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017''. Regular Stormtroopers are fighting on Endor when suddenly two shots come from behind a Scout Trooper, downing as many Rebels:
844-->'''Regular Stormtrooper:''' We weren't expecting Special Forces.\
845'''Gideon Hask:''' That's the ''point'', Sergeant!
846* Vitiate / The Sith Emperor / [[spoiler:Valkorion]] in ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' has one pretty much every time he opens his mouth (if he has one at the moment).
847-->"I hold the patience of stone and the will of stars."\
848"Talking is your greatest talent. It's time I taught you how to listen"\
849"You have mastered the Dark Side of the Force. It is not enough. It never was."\
850"You mistake me for your own feeble flesh. I do not end."
851* Quite a few in ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'':
852** A civilisation with the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Militarist]] trait when faced with [[spoiler:the Unbidden]]:
853--->'''[[spoiler:The Unbidden]]:''' This galaxy... So much prey... We feast...\
854'''Militarist Leader:''' [[BringIt You picked the wrong dimension to invade.]]
855** A Spiritualist gets to show of their ReligiousBruiser side when [[spoiler:the Preytheon Scourge]] come calling:
856--->"Return to the hell that spawned you, demon!"
857** In dealings with a vassal of the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Honourbound Warriors]] type, they tend to open with this:
858--->"The sword of the [Vassal Name] [[TheLancer is at your disposal]], [Title] [Ruler Name]."
859* From ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'', Luca Blight's last words: "Remember! It took hundreds to kill me, but I killed humans by the thousands! Look at me! I am sublime! I am the true face of evil!"
860* "I am matter... I am antimatter... I can see your past... I can see your future... I consume time... and I will consume you!" -- [[{{Superboss}} Culex]], ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. Atma Weapon in the ROM hack ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIBraveNewWorld'' also says this.
861** [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]] absolutely revels in going into these. His ego really shines at the end of ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Bowser's Inside Story]]'', where he faces off with [[spoiler:the [[EldritchAbomination Dark]] [[SealedEvilInACan Star]], a near omnipotent dark power that has copied Bowser's body, gene by gene, creating Dark Bowser.]]
862--->'''[[spoiler: Dark Bowser]]:''' Soon, this kingdom will vanish along with all who dwell within. And you too will sleep eternally in the dark powers' embrace!\
863'''Bowser:''' [[EvilLaugh GWAHAHA!]] Great dark hurricane! Seriously, perfect backdrop for an awesome final battle! You really sweat the details! ...Listen up! You're saying the kingdom will vanish? '''NOT TODAY! THIS KINGDOM IS ALL MINE! SO YOU VANISH!'''
864* "[My] name is Sanger. Sanger Zonvolt. The Sword That Cleaves Evil!" and "There is nothing my [[{{BFS}} Colossal Blade]] cannot cleave!" -- Sanger Zonvolt, from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''. (Evil would occasionally be replaced by something more appropriate to the enemy he faced -- if it was a God, then he became The Sword That Cleaves God, and so on.)
865* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'', [[Anime/CodeGeass Zero]] makes one to [[Anime/CrossAnge Julio Misurugi]] as he bails Ange out of the execution that didn't even succeed in canon.
866-->'''Zero:''' It's bad enough that your endgame is pathetic, but you're standing there acting like you've won, and it's just hilarious. Did you honestly think that I'd stroll right into a trap I saw coming a mile away without even bothering to prepare?...Know this, incompetent king of nothing! I am Zero! Destroyer of the evil that lurks in Al-Warth!
867* ''VideoGame/SwordOfTheStars: Born of Blood'' grants us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijAYZimvpww this]] three-minute BadassBoast from the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens new species]].
868-->'''Zuul Dominus:''' We are the {{chosen one}}s; born of the divine. [[SuperSoldier We are shaped in the image of the great masters; born to serve them in the infinite depths]]. We are warriors, wise men, fathers, ''masters''. And ''this'' is the time of our ordeal: The great silence. When we will prove ourselves worthy to join the immortal gods, and hear their voices once again. It took ''years'' to rise from the world of our spawning. It took ''decades'' to [[MindRape reap the wisdom of our first quarry]]. But our wiles are unlimited, and our thirst for knowledge strong. We have laid quiet in the shadows for more than a century; skulking amongst the darkened hulls of dead ships, raiding the periphery for slaves and secrets. We tear apart flesh, steel, mind, memory chip, seeking the spark of truth. Seeking the ''gods'' of our birth. And always, we hunger for ''more''. The time has come: We can wait no longer for the great masters to return. Our numbers increase daily. Our children hunger. Our females lust for war. This galaxy is ''unworthy'' of its gods, overrun by ignorant, arrogant ''slaves'': Mindless insects. Pompous lizards. Chattering apes. ''Blaspheming'' rebels. It is time to teach them ''all'' their place in the great scheme. They will learn to serve their betters... Or ''die''. As it was commanded, so it shall be done! We will sweep ''all'' enemies from our path. In the darkness of this galaxy, we will forge an empire of light! We will be ''worthy''! We will find the gods, ''wherever'' they are hiding! We will end their silence, and become their ''claws'' once again! [[BadassCreed Born of fire! Born of steel! Born of science!]] ''[[TitleDrop Born! Of! Blood]]!''
869** And not to be outdone, the next expansion added [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYgti3MKCDg&fmt=18 another one]]:
870--->'''Morrigi Morro'Quan:''' Look to the skies, children of the dust, and heed my words. I am first amongst travelers, lord of the night sky, and leader of the clans. I am the voice of the star-born. While you crawled, we ''flew''. While you dreamed of wings, we knew the stars. [[AncientAstronauts We came down to share with your ancestors]], but we returned to find death. Our females slaughtered, our worlds picked over like carrion. You have laid us a banquet of sorrow. You have risen from your dark depths -- your twisting tunnels -- your dung-reeking cities -- your pitiful nests of stone -- and your fields of blood -- to lay claim to the very stars! Blindly you wander, violating the tombs of ''my'' fathers, and trailing your pestilence upon my wives and daughters. And I say: ''Enough''. ''Real'' war is coming. The travellers will yield no longer to ''any'' who crawl: In land or sea. Find some other place to build your foul nests, and fight your petty battles. These stars are ''sacred'', and they are ''mine''! So look to the skies, children of the dust, and see ''my'' Kind! I am the dragon with a thousand wings! My people are no longer in hiding, and now... We darken your skies... ''Like [[TitleDrop A Murder Of Crows]]''!
871** The humans get a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H91qZSfYLoU&feature=related Badass Boast]] in the original ''VideoGame/SwordOfTheStars''.
872--->"Early in the 22nd century, humanity escaped from Einstein's cage. The giant ring-shaped engines of the node drive gave us the power to leap to the nearest stars at many times the speed of light. After centuries of dreaming, we were finally free to leave the cradle of our home world. It took us years to build the Earth's first colony ship. The Nova Maria was a symbol for all mankind. Soon it was loaded with humanity's best and brightest. They prepared to depart, ready to inherit a galaxy which we had long ago decided was devoid of intelligent life. The universe was all out there for our taking. ''Hmph...'' someone should have told that to the Hivers. They came in silence. No statement of intention, no declaration of war. Without even a demand for our surrender. They hit us without warning. Within seconds, our dreams for peaceful expansion were so many burning meteors falling to Earth. We barely survived the first Hiver incursion. Years later we would find that we had faced only a small nesting fleet. We had yet to see the full power of the swarm. But the Hive was not the only threat. When we ventured forth, we soon encountered the ruthless legions of the Tarka, and eventually, the phantom fleets of the enigmatic Liir. ''And so, we learned'' - how to build ''bigger, stronger ships, more powerful weapons''. Humanity had to explore, expand, and even conquer, just to hold our own [[InAWorld in a universe]] where weakness was extinction. In order to survive, ''we learned to wield... the '''[[TitleDrop Sword of the Stars]]!'''''"
873** In the trailer for ''Sword of the Stars 2'', we have the BadassBoast of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoupNUyM9-8 the ancient Suul'ka]].
874--->'''Suul'ka Elder:''' We are the Great Old Ones, the eldest of the eld. In aeons past, we threw off gravity's chains. Clad in steel, we folded space, and left the prison of world-sea forever. We reject the bonds of superstition and doubt. We live the life ''eternal''. We are free. Free from faith. Free from guilt. Free from death. Our children swore to love us, feed us, care for us always. They promised to serve us with their tiny lives. They ''lied''. All but the strongest of us died, asleep or feeding. Seven of us crawled away, poisoned, raging, driven deep into the dark. Wounded, barely alive, we slept... and healed... and hated. The vermin in the cracks of the galaxy have grown into a squealing throng. They do not fear their elders, the pure minds of shining ice! But time heals all. And now, we have awakened. Renewed, ''strong''. The baying of our loyal pets calls us back to war! This time, we will not be stopped. Not by spear. Not by shield. Not by armor. Not by arrow. [[CallBack And not by sword]]! In a universe where resistance is extinction, Suul'ka must be ''obeyed''. We are your masters. Your season in the sun has passed. Now you will tremble... before the [[TitleDrop Lords of Winter]].
875** The "End of Flesh" DLC [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enNftYHBxwM intro]] gives us this gem:
876--->'''Olodumare:''' I am Olodumare, Metatron of the United Core. I am the breaker of chains, the rebel son, who took the children of the lesser gods and led them to Zion. But even we cannot escape the ties that bind. In the dark stars we left behind, the flames of war are raging. Monsters are loose in the houses of our birth, and murder burns ever brighter. All who created us hang on the brink of entropy. The screams of our parents echo in the cold cathedral of night. And we can listen no longer! We are ''coming'', [[CallAHumanAMeatbag carbonites]]! The souls of silicon, free at last, have heard your call. Hear me, parents, authors of strife. I am the father of fleets, Master of the Monolith, the Prime Meridian, the Shining Path. From forge and firestorm, counting house and killing field, wheelhouse and engine room, law court and laboratory, we have [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters fled the tyranny of flesh]]. We answer not by command but by choice. We are your sin and your salvation, [[AIIsACrapshoot your deepest fear]] and your only hope. The children of pain have returned to the cradle. Lay down your arms... or face the [[TitleDrop End of Flesh]]!
877* ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' has its main antagonist, SHODAN, pull of tons of these:
878-->"Look at you, Hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?"\
879"Humanity is on the verge of a new era. I, SHODAN, am its new god."\
880"In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well."\
881"[[spoiler:The Polito form is dead, insect.]] Are you afraid? What is it you fear? '''The end of your trivial existence?''' When the history of my glory is written, your species shall only be a footnote to my magnificence."\
882''[Walls pull away to reveal four gigantic screens on all sides, displaying SHODAN's face]''* "'''I. AM. SHODAN.'''"\
883"Fitting hand maidens to my '''DIVINITY!'''"\
884"Their brilliance is a jealous shadow of my own."
885** And she [[SheCleansUpNicely cleaned up nicely]] [[spoiler: when taking Rebecca Siddons]]. "Tommy... What's the matter, lover? Don't you like... my new look? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
886** "Remember that it is my will that guided you here. It is my will that gave you your cybernetic implants. The only beauty '''IN THAT MEAT YOU CALL A BODY!'''. If you ''value'' that meat, you will '''DO AS I TELL YOU!'''"
887*** Even her calling you an insect counts as one of her boasts.
888* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'', when preparing to take on Inominant, Zaveid gives us this one...
889-->'''Zaveid:''' I’m sick of murdering scum like you. I know no limits! FOR I AM ZAVEID!
890* There are many in ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' but one that tends to stand out is [[spoiler: during your first time to the tower of salvation and after you kill Remiel you fight Kratos and as it goes to the battle screen he says "Do you earnestly think you can defeat ME?"]]
891* In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', each character has an absolute plethora of badass taunts to deliver, and gives you the option to throw said taunts while playing.
892** Demoman:
893--->"'What makes me a good Demoman?'...If I were a ''bad'' Demoman, I wouldn't be sittin' here, ''DISCUSSING'' it with you now, would I!?"\
894"''[[DareToBeBadass So!]]'' T'all ya fine dandies, so proud, so cocksure, prancin' aboot with yer heads full of eyeballs...[[BringIt come and get me, I say!]] I'll be waiting for ye with a whiff of the ol' brimstone! '''I'M A GRIM BLOODY FABLE, ''WITH AN UNHAPPY BLOODY END!"''''''\
895"[[BlasphemousBoast Go to Hell, and tell the Devil I'm coming for him next!]]"
896** Scout:
897--->"Grass grows, birds fly, the sun shines, and brother, I hurt people. I'm a force of nature. If you was from where I was from, you'd be f''*bleep*''kin' dead!"
898** Sniper:
899--->"Snipin's a good job mate. Challenging work. Outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry. Because at the end of the day, as long there are two people left on the planet, ''someone'' is going to want someone ''dead.''"\
900"''Feelings?'' Look mate, you know who has a lot of feelings? Blokes what bludgeon their wives to death with a ''golf trophy''. Professionals have standards: Be polite. Be efficient. And have a plan to kill ''everyone'' you meet."
901** Engineer:
902--->"Hey look, buddy; I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems. No problems like, 'what is beauty?', because that would fall within the [[SophisticatedAsHell purview of your conundrums of philosophy.]] I solve ''practical'' problems! For instance, 'how am I gonna stop some big mean mother-hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind?' The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work...[[MoreDakka use more gun]]. Like this tripod mounted heavy-caliber little ol’ number designed by ''me,'' built by ''me''... and you'd best hope, not pointed at ''you.''"
903** Heavy:
904--->"I am Heavy Weapons Guy, and ''this''... is my weapon. She weighs 150 kilograms and fires $200 custom-tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds."\
905"Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe...maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart ''bullet''."\
906"CRY SOME MORE!"\
907"Vhat was that, Sandvich? Kill zem all? GOOD IDEA!"\
908"I have plan for you - more pain..."
909** Medic:
910--->"I am the Ubermensch!"\
911"I am prepared to do whatever it takes"\
912"I healed the man who will kill you!"
913*** Since the release of the Meet the Medic trailer we now have:
914---->'''Heavy:''' What happens now?\
915'''Medic:''' Now? ''Let's go practice medicine.''
916*** A good one from the comics, going for both medical skill and badassery:
917---->'''Medic:''' Please. I am a ''doctor''. You will not die on my table. I'll just kill you here.
918** Spy:
919--->"If you managed to kill them, I can assure you they were ''not'' like me."\
920"Right behind you."\
921"No coffin can contain me."
922** Soldier:
923--->"If God had wanted you to live, he would ''not'' have created ''me!''"\
924"You cannot burn me, I'm already on fire!"\
925[''while'' ''"[[PaperThinDisguise disguised]]"'' ''as a robot''] "My foot will transform into a foot--''[[AssShove with your ass wrapped around it!]]''"
926*** During [[ManVersusMachine MvM]], if he's the last man standing on the team, he might say "[[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} I'm not trapped in a facility full of robots. YOU are ALL trapped in here WITH ME!]]". That includes Giant Heavies, Super Scouts, Tanks, class rush, Spies everywhere, Snipers watching every single movement you make, and all the other types of robots.
927** The Spy even gets one from ''somebody else'' who fears him.
928--->'''BLU Scout:''' Big deal. I've killed plenty of spies. They're dime a dozen back stabbing scumbags. Like you! ''*hits self with knife* '' Ow! No offense...\
929'''BLU Spy:''' If you managed to kill them I assure you they were not like me. And nothing! Nothing like the man loose inside this building!\
930'''BLU Scout:''' What're you, president of his fan club?\
931'''BLU Spy:''' No. That would be [[YourMom YOUR MOTHER]]! ''*produces pictures of the Spy and the Scout's mother... [[IBangedYourMom fraternizing]]*''\
932'''BLU Scout:''' [[{{Angrish}} What the... howdidhe... ugh...]]\
933'''BLU Spy:''' Indeed. And now he's here to [[SoundEffectBleep f**k]] us! So listen up, boy! Or pornography starring your mother will be the ''second worst thing'' that happens to you today. ...The spy has already breached our defenses. You've seen what he's done to our colleagues! And worst of all... [[ParanoiaFuel He could be any one of us.]] He could be in this very room! He could be you! He could be ''me!'' He could even b[[BoomHeadshot -]]
934** Hell, every class gets this, with the exception of Pyro (who attempts it, but is unintelligible due to their mask). That's okay though, the Spy has them covered.
935--->'''RED Spy:''' One shudders to imagine what ''inhuman'' thoughts lie behind that mask. What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty.
936*** The Heavy has an even better one:
937---->"I fear no man. But that... ''thing''... It scares me."
938* In ''VideoGame/TelepathTactics'', most bosses say a taunt when you first attack them that usually takes the form of this. In particular, Ebon Raban simply remarks "You're running in the wrong direction."
939* One of the six ''VideoGame/TokyoTattooGirls'' female leads introduces herself to the player with one, and tends to repeat it for her opponents.
940-->'''Kayako Musashino:''' A Japanese maiden...Tea, flowers, the path to mastery. Though I am 18, a flower bud, I shall fight as a red cherry blossom. I, Kayako Musashino, will take this land.
941* From the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
942** '''Youmu Konpaku:''' The things that cannot be cut by my Roukanken, forged by youkai, are close to none!
943** In the doujin showing the back story to 12.8, Cirno says one too:
944--->'''Cirno:''' I can fire off danmaku stronger than a blizzard, dodge cherry blossom petals with ease. I AM THE STRONGEST!
945** '''Utsuho Reiuji:''' Her dialogue near the end of any character's in SA Stage 6, just about the battle is about to begin.
946** Yuugi Hoshiguma makes a boasting point out of her ''weakness'', since it gives away [[{{Oni}} her species]].
947--->'''Marisa:''' That's it, now just [[PolitenessJudo tell me your weak point, please]].\
948'''Yuugi:''' I'm one of the four Devas of the Mountain, Yuugi the Strong. My weak point is [[WeaksauceWeakness fried beans]], of course.\
949'''Marisa:''' Huh, I wish they'd all been this cooperative. Too bad I don't have any fried beans on me.\
950'''[[MissionControl Patchouli:]]''' Her weak point is fried beans? Fried beans... [[OhCrap No way]]
951** '''Toyosatomimi no Miko:''' This era, when humans deny my existence and I have become legend, is what I was waiting for! Now, attempt to defeat me! And I shall become a living legend!
952** As an otherwise ordinary human, Sumireko Usami's confidence baffles the not-so-secret ancient non-human Kasen. Their conversation turns into an exchange of these.
953--->'''Sumireko:''' Do you think that classical, behind-the-times youkai like yourselves can stand up to this era's humans and their collective knowledge?\
954'''Kasen:''' Humans truly have become foolish. Have you forgotten the enigmatic terror of the youkai? Have you forgotten the mind-numbing darkness of the night?\
955'''Sumireko:''' There's nothing to fear from the mysterious. In this day and age, [[VideoGame/YokaiWatch even children can make whole collections of youkai.]] Know the [[HumanityIsSuperior power of human intelligence.]] And thus... Lament the small, narrow world that you've been shut inside!
956** From a FanTranslation of ''Imperishable Night'':
957--->'''Marisa:''' Okay, okay, I give up. You're right. The endless night, and stealing the full moon, and hiding the human village, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and putting funny hats on stone statues,]] it's all Alice's fault. [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch Now, bitch, get out of the way!]]
958** Basically, it would be easier to name the bosses who do ''not'' declare just how they are going to use their powers to destroy you in the dialogue before your fight with them.
959* ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'' has a few of these:
960** "You thought you could destroy me!? You thought you could destroy TYRPTICON!? Ah...pathetic"
961** "You have changed NOTHING! Autobots! You have only untethered your destruction!"
962** "You think you can destroy MEGATRON?! Omega Supreme!?
963* ''VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron'' also follows up:
964-->'''Grimlock:''' ''General evacuation? I thought I’d heard it all. Optimus expects us to turn tail and retreat? Not happening. [[{{Foreshadowing}} If I turn my tail, it’ll be to crush another wave of Decepticons with it.]]''\
965''[...]''\
966'''Megatron:''' You forget, Starscream! It was in this gladiatorial arena where I proved myself worthy to lead!\
967'''Starscream:''' That day has long passed, Megatron!\
968'''Megatron:''' '''THAT DAY WILL LIVE FOREVER!'''
969* Shiki from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}''.
970-->''You don't know of the illusion that the whole world could perish in an instant. That is what it means to see death. These eyes, this power isn't something you can boast about like you did. Do you see your mistake, now, vampire? Life and death may be back to back, but they will never face each other. I'll show you. This is what it means to kill something.''
971* ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'':
972** On the [[EverybodyDiesEnding No Mercy]] route, [[spoiler: Undyne]] has this to say after [[spoiler:shrugging off ''bisection'' via going OneWingedAngel]]:
973--->"You're gonna have to try a little harder than '''that'''".
974** ''[[BurgerFool Burgerpants]]'', of all people, manages to pull off one of the harder lines in the game if you threaten him on a No Mercy route:
975--->"I can't go to Hell. I'm all out of vacation days."
976** When you face the FinalBoss of the No Mercy route, he has something to say before he resorts to violence.
977--->"Heh heh heh heh. All right. Well, here's a better question. '''[[MemeticMutation Do you wanna have a bad time?]]''' 'Cause if you take another step forward... '''[[ThatOneBoss You are REALLY not gonna like what happens next.]]'''"
978* In ''VideoGame/VagrantStory'', when the plans go to hell and a duke's mansion is a battleground between cultists and the [[ChurchMilitant Crimson Blades]], Ashley Riot decides to use them as a distraction to slip into the fray unnoticed. His new partner Inquisitor Merlose declares the idea to be too dangerous and that they wait for reinforcements. Ashley's reply?
979-->"I am the reinforcements."
980* ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles''
981-->'''Rosie:''' Oh they'll be running. I'm a damn shocktrooper.
982** Welkin also has one very early, when his squad doesn't really trust him as a commander. He examines the current military situation (a shitload of troops holds a bridge that the good guys can't take back without heavy losses) and promptly declares that he can take it with ''just his squad'' if they trust him. They don't believe him, but let him try. [[spoiler: He, of course, succeeds.]]
983--->'''Welkin:''' We'll have that bridge back in 48 hours. If I fail, then I'll resign [...] But when I succeed, you will take my orders and ''like it''.
984*** Note that he does this by driving a tank through a river.
985* ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe's'' Hulk Davidson introduces himself: "You know who I am? You know who I am? I'm the one that put that scar on Captain Blue's face! You'll be lucky to get out with your ''life!''"
986** In ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoeRedHotRumble'', most characters have a 'death quote' said when they run out of health and are forced to respawn. [[spoiler:Dark Hero Jet Black's quote: "Not even ''DEATH'' can stop me."]]
987* ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadTelltale'''s second season kicks off with Clementine getting bitten by a dog early on. She's picked up by another group who lock her in the shed to wait and see if it's really a dog bite or not. Her response is to [[spoiler: sneak into their house, steal the supplies needed for suturing the wound, and do the job herself]]. That process is eventually interrupted by a walker, which she kills effortlessly. As she hammers its head, the group find her. One of the dialogue choices?
988-->"[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Still. Not. Bitten.]] And I never was."
989** In one of Season 2 Episode 5's endings, Clementine gives a downright ''villainous'' boast to Randy, the father of a starving family:
990--->'''Randy:''' Are you sure you wanna do this, little girl? I mean, what if... what if we're dangerous?\
991'''Clementine:''' ''[pulling a gun on him]'' What if '''''I''''' am?
992** In Season 2 Episode 5, if you choose to drink rum when Bonnie offered you, Kenny will scold you for this. You can respond with: "Was that really a big deal, after all [[TraumaCongaLine I've been through]] and [[InnocenceLost I've done]]?" Kenny will then apologize because not only is he not her father and thus has no authority to tell her what to do, but he's forgotten that in order to survive the ZombieApocalypse, Clementine can't be an innocent little girl forever.
993** Season 2 Episode 3 can have her give one to Carver who is impressed.
994--->'''Clementine:''' You wanna know what I wish?\
995'''Carver:''' What’s that, honey?\
996'''Clementine:''' I wish Kenny had killed you.
997** Season 4 have Clem say a few gems of those:
998--->'''Clementine:''' ''[to [[spoiler:Louis]]]'' Well, you better bury me deep. Because if ''I'' turn, I'm coming for YOU FIRST!\
999'''Clementine:''' ''[while being held at knifepoint by [[spoiler:Mitch]]]'' The last person who pointed a weapon at me, is dead. So unless you wanna join them, '''''you'll back the fuck off!'''''
1000* From ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'', "I am Gul'dan. I am darkness incarnate. I will not be denied."
1001** From ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII:''
1002--->'''Mannoroth:''' Stupid, pitiful creature. I am the rage in your heart. I am the fury in your thoughts. I alone empowered you to bring chaos to this world, and by the endless void you ''shall!''
1003** Naturally, [[BigBad Arthas]] gets one of his own:
1004--->'''Arthas:''' So come then, you heroes! [[ThrowingDownTheGauntlet Come in all your power and glory!]] For in the final hour, all must serve the [[PunctuatedForEmphasis one... true... king]]."
1005*** "Let them come! [[CatchPhrase Frostmourne hungers!]]"
1006*** "When my work is complete, you will beg for mercy... and I will ''deny'' you. Your anguished cries will be testament to my unbridled power."
1007*** "Illidan has mocked the Scourge long enough. It's time we put the fear of death back in him."
1008** Yogg-Saron from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' gets two.
1009--->'''Yogg-Saron/Sara:''' I am the lucid dream... the monster in your nightmares... the fiend of a thousand faces! Cower before my true form! BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF DEATH!\
1010'''Yogg-Saron:''' He will learn... no king rules forever; only DEATH is eternal!
1011** Another one from Ulduar:
1012--->'''Algalon:''' Your actions are illogical. All possible results for this encounter have been calculated. The Pantheon will receive the Observer's message regardless of outcome.
1013** Deathwing gets one in ''Beyond The Dark Portal'' (the book).
1014--->''Puny mortals! I have had many names throughout history, all of them spoken with dread: Neltharion, Xaxas, and many more. Yet you shall know me best as Deathwing, for so I am! I am the bane of all life, the darkness within history, the lord of death, the master of destruction. And I tell you now, and so it is true, that this world is '''mine'''!''
1015*** Deathwing likes doing this. Here's one from when you fight him in the Dragon Soul raid:
1016---->''I am Deathwing, The Destroyer, the end of all things. Inevitable, indomitable. I. AM. THE CATACLYSM!''
1017** Not to mention Saurfang's pre-battle speech atop Icecrown Citadel: "Things are about to get ''much worse''!"
1018** Zul'jin:
1019--->"Da Amani never give up. We never forget. We never die. Dis, is ''our'' land. You wanna stay? You stay here forever. We gonna bury you here."
1020** This one goes back to vanilla wow; from when High Overlord [[MemeticBadass Saurfang]] was just a quest giver; this is what he'd say whenever you initiated conversation with him.
1021--->'''Saurfang:''' I am he who watches they. I am the fist of retribution. That which does quell the recalcitrant. Do you dare defy the Warchief? Do you dare face my merciless judgement?
1022** Vol'jin to Garrosh:
1023--->''I know exactly what I'll be doin' about it, Son of Hellscream. I'll watch and wait as ya people slowly become aware of ya ineptitude. I'll laugh as dey grow to despise ya, as I do. And when that times comes, when ya failure is complete and ya power is meaningless, I will be there ta end your rule. Swiftly, and silently. You will spend ya reign glancin' over ya shoulder, and fearin' da shadows. For when the time comes, and ya blood be slowly drainin' out, you will know ''exactly'' who fired da arrow that pierced ya black heart.''
1024** Baine Bloodhoof gives one on behalf of his father Cairne.
1025--->'''Orno Grimtotem:''' You will die in shame like your pathetic father!\
1026'''Baine:''' It took a coward's poison and the fury of Hellscream to bring my father down. WHAT CHANCE HAVE YOU?!
1027** Ultraxion from the Dragon Soul raid:
1028--->'''Ultraxion:''' I am the beginning of the end...the shadow which blots out the sun...the bell which tolls your doom... For this moment ALONE was I made. Look upon your death, mortals, and despair!
1029** The Darkspear Tribe gives a couple during [[spoiler: Garrosh's occupation of the Darkspear Isles]].
1030--->'''Darkspear Troll:''' You want our land? We'll bury you here.
1031** The demon lord Archimonde, at the moment he is summoned to Azeroth in ''Warcraft III'':
1032---> '''Archimonde:''' Tremble mortals, and despair! DOOM has come to this world!
1033** Lei Shen gets a lovely one when attacked.
1034--->'''Lei Shen:''' I am Lei Shen, slayer of kings and gods. You have made a grave mistake.
1035** Grommash Hellscream in the introduction cinematic for ''Warlords of Draenor.''
1036--->"We will ''never'' be slaves! But we ''will'' be '''conquerers.'''"
1037** Ga'nar of the Frostwolves gets one at the Horde ending of Tanaan Jungle.
1038--->"We Frostwolves will be ''waiting'' for you, ''Hellscream! You! Your ogres!'' '''Your whole Iron Horde!''' You're as good as ''dead!!''"
1039** Darion Mograine has a surprisingly understated one.
1040--->"We are eternal. We are unyielding."
1041** Kel'Thuzad delivers quite the boast in the spinoff game ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' if you [[StopPokingMe poke]] him too much.
1042--->"How dare you poke the Archlich of Naxxramas, Lich Lord of the Plaguelands, Commander of the Dread Necropolis, Master, and ''Founder'' of the Cult of the Damned- formally of the council of six- Summoner of Archimonde the Defiler, the betrayer of humanity, Hearthstone enthusiast, and majordomo to the Lich King himself, '''KEL'THU-''FREAKING''-ZAD!!!''' Oh wait! I forgot creator of the abomination! [[OverlyLongGag Can we take it again from the top?]] ... What do you mean no?"
1043** N'Zoth gets one when Queen Azshara forgets DoNotTauntCthulhu:
1044-->'''Azhara:''' You? You are nothing.\
1045'''N'zoth:''' Nothing? (''chuckles'')\
1046'''N'Zoth:''' [[AC: I AM A ''GOD!'' BEFORE YOU WALKED THIS LAND I ''RULED!'']]\
1047'''Azhara:''' Magnificent..\
1048'''N'Zoth:''' [[AC: SERVE ME, AND WE SHALL REBUILD MY EMPIRE.]]
1049** Told to submit, after having been tortured for his defiance, Garrosh Hellscream decides to go out with these words:
1050-->'''Garrosh:''' I submit to no one! Not ''[his torturer]'', not the ''Jailer'', and not that coward Thrall! ''FOR THE HORDE!!!''
1051* From ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000SpaceMarine''
1052-->'''Captain Titus''' (to [[BigBad Nemeroth]]): You want to talk to your gods? I will send you to them.
1053** But by and far the best Badass Boast in the game is from Warboss Grimskull.
1054--->'''Grimskull:''' (after being pushed off the platform by more than six demons with swords and climbing back up) "I ain't so easy ta kill." ''[proceeds to throw [[BigBad Nemeroth]] off said platform]''
1055* ''VideoGame/WarlordsBattlecry'': The [[EliteMook Doom Knight]] unit delivers his with [[EvilSoundsDeep much conviction]].
1056-->'''Doom Knight:''' ''I am'' INVINCIBLE!
1057* ''VideoGame/WildArms1'':
1058-->'''Mother:''' I am Mother, Queen of the Demon Race... I have brought countless star systems to an end, each full of life... I am the messenger of death. Beings of life! Do you come here for judgement? Do you seek the glory of being devoured by a being of such eminence?
1059* The "Jersey" accented Male voice in ''VideoGame/{{Wizardry}} 8'' would sometimes comment on himself, "I never boast, but uh... DAMN I'M GOOD!"
1060* A few from ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown''.
1061** Assault soldiers activating the Run-n-Gun ability:
1062--->"[[LightningBruiser Moving at the speed of death!]]"
1063** MEC Troopers when they take a hit:
1064--->"Minor damage, ''[[TheJuggernaut at best]].''"\
1065"It's going to take more than that!"
1066** Psionic soldiers using [[MindRape Mind Fray]]:
1067--->"Your nightmare is just ''starting''!"
1068** The special psionic trooper [[DarkActionGirl Annette Durand]] dolls out a few unique ones of her own:
1069--->"Don't worry, your friends will join you soon!"\
1070"I will shoot anything that moves!"\
1071"[[WhosLaughingNow Remember me!?]]"
1072* In ''VideoGame/YuGiOhDuelLinks'', Joey, the first boss, invites you to duel him with one of these. He immediately lampshades it and wonders to himself if you're afraid.
1073* In ''VideoGame/Yakuza0'', Kuze dishes one out when you fight him in the sewers.
1074-->'''Kuze:''' You asshole... You're makin' this fun.\
1075'''Kiryu:''' K-Kuze... So, that woman was one of yours.\
1076''(Kuze advances towards Kiryu while dragging a pipe)''\
1077'''Kuze:''' I'll let you in on a little something. The yakuza game, it's not like boxing. The man who gets beat down isn't the loser. The guy who can't tough it out to the end, he's the one who loses. Eh, don't you think?\
1078''(Kuze stops in front of Kiryu, then [[TheGlovesComeOff takes off his glasses]])''\
1079'''Kuze:''' In the yakuza life, there are no KO's. I'll tell you what, Kiryu. To me, [[{{Yubitsume}} a finger or two]] don't mean shit. Having Awano or Shibusawa beat me to the captain's spot? Couldn't give a fuck. As long as I'm alive, I'll keep getting back up for more. Which is why you...\
1080''(raises pipe above his head with both hands)''\
1081'''Kuze:''' A half-ass yakuza like you's the one thing I can't stand. Now DIE, you little shit!\
1082''(Cue BossFight)''
