History AGodAmI / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Rugal and Igniz are picture perfect examples of this trope (Igniz provides some [[Quotes/AGodAmI quotes]]). Rugal dares you to repeat to him that you won't attack a god again in ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters98 '98]]'', and Igniz has a gigantic god complex in ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters2001 2001]]''. When he gets beaten, Lovable Igniz goes nuts and decides to forgo the god thing, [[ColonyDrop deciding to be a demon instead]]. His win quote says it all. "I'm more than a god! I'm a superstar! Hah, hah!"

* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Rugal and Igniz are picture perfect examples of this trope (Igniz provided some [[Quotes/AGodAmI quotes]]). Rugal dares you to repeat to him that you won't attack a god again in 98, and Igniz has a gigantic god complex in 2001. When he gets beaten, Lovable Igniz goes nuts and decides to forgo the god thing, [[ColonyDrop deciding to be a demon instead]]. His win quote says it all. "I'm more than a god! I'm a superstar! Hah, hah!"

* In ''VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon'', this is inverted with Harlan Wade's proclamation at the start of the game (which is [[spoiler: at the point that you are being born]]) where he says that "You will be a god among men." Later on, Paxton Fettel shows shades of this traope played straight, especially in his ending of the third game.

-->'''Murakumo:''' "After [[spoiler: monopolyzing [[MacGuffin the Blitz Engines]] ]], I will win the final war... and within the New World Order, '''I will become a human God.'''"

--> "If you have the arrogance of a god, and can kill like a god, who's to say you're not a god?"

-->'''[[spoiler:Amelissan]]:''' [[BigNo NOOO!]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! AM! A!]] ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis GOD!]]''
-->'''Solar:''' You wield great power, and play with energies that make you immortal. That does not make you a god.

---->'''Hyperion New U Station''' "The light you saw was our Digistruct technology, not a higher power, not a higher power than Hyperion anyway''.

--> I am the GOD OF DAMAGE!
--> I am the [[Literature/TheBible Alpha and the Omega!]]

--->'''[=McNeil=]:''' You're not God, Kane!\\

-->'''Gaius''': We now possess the relic and its power, making us virtual gods.

-->'''Master Contra''': I have far surpassed the original. I am the ultimate form of Bill Rizer.

--->[[spoiler: '''Mega Dark''':''"I am Mega Dark, the Ruler. I am Life itself..."'']]

--> '''Odin:''' "Here I stand--a god amongst men. Yet here I remain--a mere man amongst gods."

** And Sir Grodus in ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor''. As with this quote: "Yes? I, Grodus, will build a new world! A perfect, ideal world? made by me, about me, and FOR me! GAAACK ACK ACK ACK ACK!"

* Sanae Kochiya from ''Franchise/TouhouProject''; informing people that she is, in fact, a living god is her catchphrase. Granted, she's technically ''right'', what with having the divine power to create miracles and being the direct descendent of the goddess [[spoiler:Suwako Moriya]], and all. She's classified as an Arahitogami, both fully god and fully human at the same time. It's mostly played for laughs, as the [[EveryoneIsASuper general power level of Gensokyo's inhabitants]] means being a god isn't really anything particularly special.

* In the climax of ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe'', [[spoiler:Captain Blue reveals himself to be "The Omnipotent" King Blue, creator of Movie Land. ('cause he's the director)]]

* In ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' [[spoiler:Zanza is already a God, but after getting the Meyneth's Monado his pride and arrogance become even worse. According to him, the only thing that matters is himself and all other beings must be his food.]] But then you find out by the end of the game that [[spoiler:he's not really a god; he's [[DeityOfHumanOrigin a human scientist]] from the EarthThatWas. He puts himself on a pedestal, but all he's doing is abusing Alvis's power.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'': Oitsukigami is ''not'' a god, a fact which she openly admits, but she successfully tricks humans into believing she is one, and ''oh'' how she enjoys being worshiped as such. [[spoiler: Until she is presented with an impossible request.]]

* SHODAN of ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' fame referred to herself that way (see Quotes page). And has sort of recognition for her efforts:

* Sanae Kochiya from ''Franchise/TouhouProject''; informing people that she is, in fact, a living god is her CatchPhrase. Granted, she's technically ''right'', what with having the divine power to create miracles and being the direct descendent of the goddess [[spoiler:Suwako Moriya]], and all. She's classified as an Arahitogami, both fully god and fully human at the same time. It's mostly played for laughs, as the [[EveryoneIsASuper general power level of Gensokyo's inhabitants]] means being a god isn't really anything particularly special.

* The ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' series starts several years after Bhaal, the god murder, was killed. The entire series is all about people fighting about a claim on his divine power.

* When you defeat Vaati for the second time in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'' he claims that as a god, it shouldn't have been possible for him to be defeated.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'', Yuga states his plans to "take his rightful place among the gods" once he's managed to [[spoiler: fuse himself and Ganon together and steal the Triforce of Wisdom from Hilda, with plans on doing the same with Link's Triforce of Courage.]]

* In ''Hell:A Cyberpunk Thriller'', [[spoiler: Solene Sollux is this in a few senses of the trope. It is the Imperator (Latin for emperor) of a theocracy that controls at least the United States of America. The name Solene Sollux references the sun. It is a gender-bending robot that wears purple, is spoken by a female voice actor, and no one can tell if it is female or male. It controls Hell (actually a huge, complex virtual reality program) and sends criminals there (by hooking them up to the machinery and storing their bodies in a hidden place). It actually declares "I am God!" at one point and "These are the hands of a god!" at another point (specifically a fistfight). Who would have thought a robot could have a limitless God complex?]]

* In ''VideoGame/Portal2'', [[spoiler:Wheatley]] plays this out after being plugged into [[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=]' mainframe]]. Justified in that apparently [[spoiler:the mainframe]] has a circuit that causes the AI an [[FantasticArousal euphoric rush]] after each successful test. [=GLaDOS=] learned to handle the effects; Wheatley... [[TheImmodestOrgasm not so much]]. Said circuit also gives the AI a painful jolt if it tries to help a test subject. The logical result is that the AI will become a near-sadistic MadScientist who ''gets off on bossing people around''.

** Less humorously, there's [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Ardat-Yakshi]] [[DeathBySex Morinth]], who in her backstory once brainwashed a village into worshipping her as a goddess, including demanding daughters as sacrifices. When [[KnightTemplar Samara]] came to track her down, Morinth proceeded to [[MoralEventHorizon sic the village on her, forcing Samara to kill all of them.]] When finally confronted by Samara in her loyalty mission, Morinth declares herself the "Genetic Destiny" of the Asari, despite the fact that all Ardat-Yakshi are congenitally sterile.
