History LargeHam / VideoGames

* ''[[VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}} Onmyōji]]'' has the cultured lad Yōko who always uses flowery classical language and very dramatic intonation. Creator/NobunagaShimazaki must be having a great time voicing him.

** Merasmus the Magician is pretty hammy too.
--->'''Merasmus:''' DOOM! All of you are doomed!

* YOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! HI I'M DAISYYYYYY!!!!!!!! Princess Daisy from SuperMarioBros wasn't originally this but after she became a TomboyPrincess and GenkiGirl and her voice actor changed to Deanna Mustard she always sounds like she's having the time of her life and practically screams and yells most of her lines. This gets taken to the extreme in Mario Strikers : Charged where the DarkerAndEdgier nature of the game amps up her competitiveness to ludicrous degrees.

* As usual, ComicBook/TheJoker is all about ham in ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum Arkham Asylum]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Arkham City]]''. Considering he's voiced by Creator/MarkHamill, who did him in the cartoons and who was also [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Ozai]], it's some of the most delicious hams in the business.
** Switching out Hamill for Troy Baker in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'' did next to nothing to stop the onslaught of ham, which was [[IncrediblyLamePun Christmas Ham]] in this instance.

** "NOW JUMP! INTO MY '''[[RatedMForManly MANLY]]''' CHEST!!!"

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Erazor Djinn of ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic and the Secret Rings]]'' is a ham, especially in the ending.

-->'''Richter:''' "Your words are as empty as your SOUL! Mankind ILL NEEDS a savior such as ''YOU''!"

* In the ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' universe, it's the ones who ''aren't'' hams that are rare. While the Ghost may get his CreepyMonotone, he can ''keep'' it, because almost everyone else is pure unabridged ham. Third prize: Tassadar's big speech at the beginning of the final mission. Second prize: Terran [[KillItWithFire Firebats]]. And the grand prize goes to...[[DropTheHammer The Siege Tank]]. Honorary mentions go to the Terran Marine, the Terran Dropship, the Protoss Zealot, the Terran Wraith, both Protoss Archons, the Zerg Overlord, and the Terran Vulture. Some voice actor was evidently having a lot of fun while recording that game.

** In ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage Village]]'', Neil Newbon voices Lord Karl Heisenberg with the same exuberance and flair as he did with Nicholai in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3'' (Remake). The result is a smarmy villain who treats his hunting of Ethan as a game show and absolutely lets loose during his boss fight.

** And now...we have the Firelands, aka the Dimension Of Smoked Hams. When ''[[IShallTauntYou Frandal]] [[DrunkOnTheDarkSide Staghelm]]'' is the ''subtle'' one, it makes one wonder if Ragnaros goes out of his way to find minions that [[ChewingTheScenery remind him]] [[BadassBaritone of himself]].

---> '''[[spoiler:Ratatosk Mode ]]Emil:''' "'''SEEEEAAAAAAH!'''" * slash slash slash* "'''This is the FINAL STRIKE!'''" * BOOOM!!* "[[EvilLaugh Hehehahahahaha!]] Darkness devours! '''[[UsefulNotes/HebrewMythology AIN SOPH AUR!!!]]'''

* The cast of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', in one way or another. The Heavy, Soldier, and Demoman are the biggest ones, but they ''all'' have their moments. The Medic has a large number of voice lines that just consist of laughter, ranging from disturbingly happy giggling to mean chuckles to completely bonkers crazy laughter. (Not to mention his amazing scenery-chewing as a Mad Scientist in the official ''Meet the Medic'' video.)

* When you manage to out-Ham the player character, and the player character is voiced by Creator/BruceCampbell, you know you've arrived. So it goes with the ''delightfully'' batshit Baron Hajod from ''VideoGame/TachyonTheFringe''. '''SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVESSSS!!!''' Culminates in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htRArli-9UE mission]] where he tries to [[RefugeInAudacity steal the Sistine Chapel ceiling]].

** ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Dawn of Sorrow]]'' has these in Japanese, as it was never translated into English, voicewise. The fight [[spoiler:against [[Creator/HikaruMidorikawa Soma Cruz]] as Dracula is particularly notable, with his marvellous evil laugh, and the way he calls out the name of the person you are using while throwing his wine glass away. "Julius... BERUMONDOOOOOAAAAA!"]]

*** “OH! It’s [[NoPronunciationGuide EE-kans]]!”

* "[[VideoGame/ApeEscape INCOMPLETE??? It's a WONDERFUL INVENTION!!!]]"

* "[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag In a World without Ham, We might have been Heroes!]]"

-->"I grow tired of shouting battlecries when fighting this mage! Boo will ''finish his eyeballs'' ONCE AND FOR ALL so he ''DOES NOT RISE AGAIN!''' ''EVIL! MEET MY SWORD!'' '''SWOOOOOORD! MEEEEEET! EEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIL!"

--> [[PunctuatedForEmphasis ''"Die! You! BASTARD!"'']]

--> "I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall [[KnightTemplar I reap the sins of this world, and cleanse it in the fires of destruction]]. '''[[MyNameIsInigoMontoya I AM HAKUMEN!]] [[BadassCreed THE END HAS COME!]]'''"

--> '''Arakune:''' In the end both you and I....are POINTLESSPOINTLESSPOINTLESS[[LaughingMad AAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!]]

--> '''Hazama:''' "This world is nothing but lies! ''LIES!'' Lemme show you what I like to call the truth! ''THE TRUTH CALLED DESPAAAAAIRRRR!!"''

--> "LIGHT, GIVE ME STRENGTH!! [[ShoutOut ATATAT]][[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar ATATATATATA]]!! WITH MY MIGHTY FIST, '''[[MegatonPunch I'LL SEND YOU TO THE STARS!!]]'''

--> "Any last words!? THIS IS GOING TO BE... '''YOUR END'''!!"

** Mr. Torgue in ''Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage'' DLC from ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands 2}}'' fits this trope rather well with his emphasis on screaming and use of the word explosions.

-->''My pecs have PECS!"

-->''PLAYER! WHAT! ARE! YOU! DOING?!''\\

--->'''Richter:''' "DIE, monster! You don't BELONG in this world!"
--->'''Dracula:''' "It was not by MY hand that I am once again given FLESH! I was called here by ''HUMANS'' who wish to pay ME ''Tribute''!"
--->'''Richter:''' "TRIBUTE?!! You steal men's SOULS and make them your ''SLAVES''!"
--->'''Dracula:''' "Perhaps the same can be said of ALL religions."
--->'''Richter:''' "Your words are as empty as your SOUL! Mankind ILL NEEDS a savior such as ''YOU''!"
--->'''Dracula:''' "[[MemeticMutation WHAT IS A MAN?!]] *Throws wine glass* A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF ''SECRETS''! But enough talk...HAVE AT YOU!"

--> BEHOLD MY TRUE FORM, '''AND DESPAIR!!!'''

* [[VideoGame/CityOfHeroes I AM NICTUS!]]
** For the record, the above is rendered purely through text, font, and GoingThroughTheMotions.

-->''"Go ahead my son. Push the button. Inscribe your place in history with the blood of GDI. "''
-->''"How could my own brothers believe that what transpired at the Temple Prime did not unfold exactly as I had planned? Of course I could not have planned for an ambush BY MY OWN FORCES!"''

-->''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIr68Ncz3Rw Cowboy style.]]''

--> "AAAALLLL FOR NNNNIIINNNAAA!!!!"

** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1''':

** ''Everybody'' in Diablo is that way. Diablo 2 toned it down significantly for the players and friendly [=NPCs=], but the bosses are just as dramatic as ever.

--> "The Prophetess Andraste has OVERCOME DEATH ITSELF and has RETURNED to her faithful in a form more RADIANT than you can imagine! Not even the Tevinter Imperium could hope to slay her now! What hope do YOU have?"

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''

--> "I HONOR MY LORD, BY DESTROYING '''YOU'''!!!"

--> "BY THE NINE DIVINES! THERE'S BEEN A '''MURDER'''!"

--->'''Heimskr''': "I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine! I do this for you, Red Legions, for IIIIIIIII LOVE you!" Aye, love! LOVE! Even as man, great Talos cherished us! For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Skyrim! The future...of TAMRIEL!

--->''"What in Oblivion is THAT?!"''
--->''"You wanna be that thing's next meal? INTO THE KEEP, PRISONER!"''
--->''"We will '''DRRRRAG''' him out of the rubble to '''FACE JUSTICE!'''"''

--->''"'''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!'''"''
---> ''"'''My belly is full of the souls of your fellow mortals, Dovahkiin!'''"''
---> ''"'''Zu'u unslaad! Zu'u nis oblaan! (I am immortal! I cannot die!)'''"''

--->'''You:''' DO NOT QUESTION THE GOURMET!

* '''[[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} THREEEEEE DAAAAAAWWWWWWGG!! HELLOOOO, CAPITAL WASTELAND!! HOW'S EVERYONE DOIN?]]'''
** Also in Fallout, Dr. Borous from the [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Old World Blues DLC]] is ham incarnate. "The LOBOTOMITE '''UNDERSTANDS US'''!!"

* "[[VideoGame/FatalFury Are you ok?]] '''[[LimitBreak BUSTAAAAAAAAH WOOOOOOOLF!]]'''"

* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI No one leaves out my quote!! TVTROPES EDITORS?? You impertinent fools. I, Garland, will knock you all down!!]]

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', one of the sillier Final Fantasies, has Exdeath, the biggest ham this side of the '''VOID!''' Just as an example, here's one of his hammier lines. Oh, and for bonus points, he actually says it ''twice'' over the course of the game.

--->'''Gilgamesh''':"Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Faris ladies]] who [[TakeThat dress like men]]! For Gilgamesh...it is [[Franchise/PowerRangers morphing time]]!"

--> "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 MEEE!!!'''"

-->"KNOW DESPAIR! ''Hollow beings!''"\\

-->To Warrior of Light: "Do not ATONE! Just PERRRRISH!!!!"
-->To Terra: "You do not ''need'' power, for I ''am'' power."
-->To Garland: "''You'' DARE to oppose ''ME''!?"
-->To Gilgamesh: "''TO THE RIFT WITH YOU''!"
** And then, in the prequel, Gilgamesh joined the ranks, [[UpToEleven hammier than EVER]]!
-->"[[IncomingHam HERE I AAAAAAAM!]]"'\\

-->'''Cecil''': "Beneath the light... '''COMES JUDGEMENT!'''"\\

* Franchise/FireEmblem has quite a few standouts.
** In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Blazing Sword]]'', General Wallace is certainly meant to be this way.
--> '''Wallace''': Look! A giant walks among you!! My defense is impenetrable! COME! BREAK YOUR WEAPONS AGAINST ME! AHAHAHAHAHA!

** Also, Devdan/Danved in [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn]]. "DEVDAN HEARS THE SOUND OF BATTLE!" "Danved fight like 10 men!". Kieran fits this to a degree, but has more elements of a GenkiGirl.

-->You think me one to don the cap and bells, and gambol in the street for petty coin? But soft, I see why you might mark me so.

-->"[[MemeticMutation GOLDOA WILL NOT MOVE! FOR THE SAKE! OF! FUTURE GENERATIONS!]]"

*** It's not just other Fire Emblem games... In a conversation with an Allied NPC in one of the DLC chapters, he promises to defend her with his technique of [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword "SKYWARD... SHIELD!"]]

-->"[[spoiler: Olivia]]? H-hey, [[spoiler: Olivia.]] ... [[LikeyouWouldReallyDoIt You being crazy again]], [[spoiler: Olivia]]? [[spoiler: Olivia]]?! [[OhCrap Aw, come on]], [[spoiler: Olivia]]! [[HowDareYouDieOnMe You can't die now]]! [[BigNo NOOOOO]]! [[spoiler: [[SayMyName OLIVIAAAAAA]] ]]! [[PleaseDontLeaveMe Come back to me]], [[spoiler: Olivia]]! [[NoIndoorVoice Stay out of the light!]] [[UpToEleven STAY OUT OF THE LIIIIIIGHT!]]"

-->''HE'S GOT A GUN!!''
-->''Hey I'm walkin' here!''
-->'''''I SAID HOLD IT ASSHOLE!!'''''

* ''Franchise/DotHack//GU'' has Haseo who can get pretty hammy, as can Piros the 3rd and [[Creator/CrispinFreeman Sakaki]].

-->'''Truth:''' You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt, thinking... what? That you might escape the coming fire? Your world will burn until its surface is but glass!
-->'''Gravemind:''' Child of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgiveness for father's sins cast to his son.
-->'''Gravemind:''' You '''will''' show me what she hides, or I WILL FEAST UPON YOUR '''BONES!'''
-->'''Gravemind:''' I have beaten FLEETS of THOUSANDS! CONSUMED a galaxy of FLESH and MIND and BONE!!!!

-->"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!"

-->'''Spec Ops Elites:''' We shall grind them into dust...
-->'''Rtas:''' ...And continue our march to GLORIOUS SALVATION!
** Hell, once they started speaking "English" in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'', it became clear that most of the Elites were hams. It's amazing, considering their odd mouth shapes, how well they're able to chew the scenery.

--->HYPER ATTACK!
--->NEEDLE CANNON!
--->ROBO PUNCH!
--->MUTUAL ASSURED DESTRUCTION!
--->YOU'RE DEAD, AND I WILL LIVE '''FOREVER!'''
* ''Videogame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft'' has its fair share of hams, but considering the cards you play range from {{Badass Normal}}s to ElementalEmbodiment lords to BigRedDevil DemonicInvaders to Dragon Aspects, this is all par the course for anything set in the Warcraft universe.

--> [[spoiler:What?! I can't hear you over all this awesome!]]

--> '''Rico:''' "Sev, Garza! Heads up! You've got two companies heading your way!"
--> '''Garza:''' "What's the good news?"
--> '''Rico:''' "YOU GET TO KILL THEM."

-->'''Ansem''': [[Franchise/KingdomHearts KINGDOM HEEEEAAAAARRRRRTS!! FILL ME... WITH THE POWER OF DARKNESS!!!!!!]]

--> '''Maleficent''': A bit? Do you remember "THE TRUE DARKNESS!" or "You think you can defeat ''me?'' '''ME, THE MISTRESS OF ALL EVIL!?"'''

-->'''Hades''': HOW DARE YOU HAVE A HAPPY ENDING! HOW DARE YOU!

-->'''Saïx''': ALL SHALL BE '''LOST''' TO YOU!
-->'''Saïx''': I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH '''NOTHING!'''

-->'''Master Xehanort''': "'''[[NoIndoorVoice BEHOLD!]]''' These lifeless keys used to be full of ''power.'' United with the hearts of their masters, on this barren soil, Keyblades of light and darkness were ''[[MilkingTheGiantCow locked in combat!]]'' As the great Keyblade War '''RAAAGGED!'''"

--> '''Sora:''' I never would have made it here without the three of you. But it's my turn now. Let me be your light, and I'll show you the way home!
--> '''Donald:''' Um, isn't that hamming it up a little?

* [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Church Guy]] seems to be enjoying himself more than can possibly be healthy. DING DONG, DING DONG!

--> "You '''DARE''' bring light to my lair?! '''YOU MUST DIE!'''"

-->''We impose order on the chaos of organic evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.''

* '''[[VideoGame/MeatBoy WAAARP ZOOOOOOOOOOONE!]]'''

* Though it's only in text, we can get the idea that ''Videogame/{{OFF}}'''s [[LargeAndInCharge Enoch]] is one [[{{Woolseyism}} Big]] [[MemeticMutation Bacon]] indeed.

* ''Videogame/{{Overwatch}}'', Blizzard's newest IP, has plenty of hams, the largest and hammiest being the ten-foot-tall hammer-wielding power-armored BoisterousBruiser knight known as Reinhardt.

-->'''Arsene:''' For the sake of the justice you believed in, make the blasphemers repent! [[EvilLaugh Hahahaha]]!

--> "Here. I'll show you... who I really am. Come... '''LOKIIIIIIIIII!'''".

*** Palkia as well, WHO SPEAKS IN ALL CAPS.

*** It's not just that he speaks in ALLCAPS, it's also that Palkia is very prone to ChewingTheScenery, as he shares speaking in ALL CAPS with Dialga, but Dialga is more reserved in his speech.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Mana|KhemiaAlchemistsofAlRevis}} [[VideoGame/ManaKhemia2FallofAlchemy Khemia]]'' games have Flay "Defender of Justice!" "[=FLAYvor=] of Evil!" Gunnar. Words cannot express his sheer hammy insanity. His [[FoeYay rival]] Tony Eisler has plenty of moments of his own too, frequently devolving into {{Angrish}} and vowing revenge.

* Agnus in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 4''. Dante even engages him in what appears to be a battle to see who can be the most ham in one cutscene.
** Dante (or anyone) still has yet to top the infamous: [[Narm/VideoGames "I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIIIIII~IIIIIIGHT!"]]. Mundus in the same game. "Dante, I will return... And I will RULE THIS WOOOOOOOOOOORLD!"
** ''"And now...my soul...IS SAYING IT WANTS TO STOP YYYOOUUUUU!!!!"''
*** ''"Is...sanity! The price to pay...FOPOWWAH?!"''
*** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "For I AM HERE! To re-CLAIM! What is RIGHTFULLYMINE!"]]
** Arkham! Seriously, he's the hammiest character in ''3''. ''"Now, after two millenniums of confinement, it can at '''LAST''' fulfill the '''PURPOSE''' for which it was '''INTENDED'''!"''
*** You're not just whistling dixie. They even wrote it [[LampshadeHanging that way]] in the subtitles: "'''THAT''' is '''WHAT''' the '''SOMETHING''' is!"

* The VideoGame/{{Mana|KhemiaAlchemistsofAlRevis}} [[VideoGame/ManaKhemia2FallofAlchemy Khemia]] games have Flay "Defender of Justice!" "[=FLAYvor=] of Evil!" Gunnar. Words cannot express his sheer hammy insanity. His [[FoeYay rival]] Tony Eisler has plenty of moments of his own too, frequently devolving into {{Angrish}} and vowing revenge.
** There is a LOT of prime ham in the MK games, especially in Fall of Alchemy. Practically everyone except Razeluxe is a ham at some point, and Chloe even manages to be a monotone Large Ham. Reicher comes in a pretty close third behind Flay and Tony, which is no small feat. It doesn't hurt that he shares a voice actor with Dissidia's Kefka.
