[[PreMortemOneLiner Pre-Mortem One-Liners]] in video games.
----

* Non-lethal variant: the protagonists of the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series will often deliver one of these to the true culprit of the case immediately after proving their guilt and just before their VillainousBreakdown. Usually, these are related specifically to the culprit in some way. For example:
-->'''Phoenix:''' ''(to [[spoiler:a bomb disposal specialist]])'' Think you can dismantle this conclusive evidence?\\
'''Apollo:''' ''(to [[spoiler:a stage magician]])'' With no tricks left, I'm afraid your show has been cancelled, permanently.\\
'''Edgeworth:''' ''(to [[spoiler:a body guard who loves chess]])'' Checkmate.
* From ''VideoGame/ArcTheLad'', the final words of the title hero, [[TheHero Arc]] of [[DoomedHometown Touvil]], delivered to the [[EldritchAbomination Dark]] [[SealedEvilInACan One]] [[BigBad himself]], when Arc [[HeroicSacrifice gives his life to reseal him.]]
-->'''Arc:''' Drink from the cup of my pain and anger!
** The line is especially potent, because in the course of this game the 'Named NPC Death Count' gets into staggering numbers (including one PC), AND the BigBad just tore the world a new one before you reseal him.
* ''VideoGame/ArmyOfTwo'', when entering overkill mode during play:
-->"Welcome to the Tyson Rios show!"
** And again, just before killing [[spoiler:Richard Dalton]]:
--->'''Salem:''' "Survey says?"\\
'''Rios:''' "You're dead."
** From the 40th Day, the two have several ''post'' mortem-one liners, but special mention goes to Salem:
--->"TAKE A SEAT!"
* ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'':
** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedI'': Altaïr had plenty of one-liners for his targets, but his best was directed at Majd Addin.
--->'''Majd''': [[ForTheEvulz I killed them because I could! Because it was fun!]] [[AskAStupidQuestion Do you know what it feels like to determine another man's fate?]] And did you see the way the people cheered? The way they feared me? I was like a god! You'd have done the same if you could! Such power...\\
'''Altaïr''': [[CharacterDevelopment Once perhaps, but then I learned what becomes of those who lift themselves above others.]]\\
'''Majd''': And what is that?\\
'''Altaïr''': Here, let me show you... (stabs Majd in the neck)
** ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'': Cesare Borgia says this as Ezio has cornered him on the tower in Viana and grabbed him by the throat: "I will lead mankind to a new world! You cannot kill me! No man can murder me!" Ezio coldly responds "Then I leave you to the hands of Fate." before throwing him off the tower.
* From ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'', Bane attempts to kill Batman and says, "May you find the peace in death that you did not have in life." Instead, he gets the response, "I'm not looking for peace," just before Batman stops his heart with electricity. [[spoiler: Don't worry, Batman revives him afterwards.]]
** At the end of the Red Hood's DLC story in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'', he gets to deliver both Pre-Mortem and [[BondOneLiner Bond One-Liners]]:
--->'''[[spoiler: Black Mask]]:''' You don't need to do this. I'll give you money. Drugs! Guns! Weapons! Whatever you want. Please. I'll take a plane. Leave Gotham. Never show my face again. Anywhere you want. I'll go anywhere!\\
'''Red Hood:''' How about you go to Hell!\\
(''kicks [[spoiler: Black Mask]] out of the window, letting him fall to his death'')\\
'''Red Hood:''' Say hi to [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker Joker]] for me.
* ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' (NES), before [[YourHeadAsplode asploding Master D's head]]:
-->'''Spencer''': Your number's up, monster!
* ''VideoGame/{{Blazblue}}'': ''Central Fiction'' ends with [[AntiHero Ragna]] giving a real corker of one:
-->''"Be devoured by the infinite darkness... [[spoiler:Yuuki Terumi.]]"''
* Combine that with PreAsskickingOneLiner, because it's done twice in ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'':
** [[spoiler:During the dancing moves, while bullets are shooting at Lance, the eyeballs fall out of his pocket, then he gets an idea by picking them up and delivering a PreAsskickingOneLiner to Fritz:]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Lance:''' Hey! Time to punch out!]]
** [[spoiler:And after shoving Fritz into the jar where Neurosis is, our hero delivers one more badass line before pressing the "flush" button:]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Lance:''' Hey, guyyys! Game's over.]]
*** It may be noted that in the Japanese release, [[spoiler: Lance simply says, in a bit of a whisper, [[{{Woolseyism}} "Sayonara."]]]]
* ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''
** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'': "Go back whence you came! Trouble the soul of my mother ''[[NarmCharm no more]]''!"
** ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania 64}}'': "Back to your dark realm! Soon I'll send Dracula to join you!"
** ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'': "[[MundaneMadeAwesome Go to hell.]]"
*** [[spoiler:[[SecretCharacter "Showtime."]]]]
* ''VisualNovel/CrimsonRafflesia'''s first scene ends off with the [[CuteAndPsycho main character]] saying this.
-->'''Sho''': You owe me your life, you said. Then I guess it's fine if I collect my debt now?
* There's at least one example in ''VideoGame/DeusEx''. After using Gunther's killphrase and setting off a bomb inside him, JC finishes the conversation with a sarcastic "Sticks and stones..."
* In every ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' game (except for ''Devil May Cry 2'') the BigBad would always be finished off by the main character saying "Jackpot", though the line in question is only optional in the fourth game.
** Although DMC 2 has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7Y8WhHG6O0 this]] piece of awesome.
* Regina in the first ''VideoGame/DinoCrisis'' to the ''T. Rex'': "End of the line for you, handsome... You're extinct!"
* Lulu does this in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' before casting elemental spells if they're one-shot kills.
** The [[OneHitKill Death]] spell has the delightful "Nice knowing you."
** Everybody except Kimahri has a premortem comment. Similarly, Tidus may deliver a [[SoLongSuckers one-liner when using Flee]].
* At the start of a battle in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' (and occasionally before casting spells or using similar special abilities), the girls toss one-liners between themselves, which are context-sensitive depending on the enemy. Clearly [[{{Woolseyism}} the spirit of Woolsey]] had a hand in them, because there's ShoutOut after Shout Out.
** And at the end, you get some good ones too, including a Marx Brothers reference:
--->'''Yuna:''' Duck soup!\\
'''Paine:''' Duck what?!
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' has [[SummonMagic Odin]] and his [[OneHitKill Zantetsuken]] speech, complete with YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe with a side of [[LargeHam pork]].
-->'''Odin''': Mine obsidian blade shall split atwain the threads of thy future, whilst its crimson fuller shalt channel the lifeblood of thy past. Now wail as thy soul is strewn across the plains of Valhalla!
* Every playable character in ''Franchise/FireEmblem [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', besides downloadable ones, have one before landing a critical or when activating a skill.
--->'''Frederick''': Pick a god and pray!
* In ''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator'' [[spoiler:Cassette Guy]] gets a whole BreakingSpeech in after cutting off Scrap Baby's MotiveRant, revealing [[spoiler:he had lured all the animatronics to a fake pizzeria in order to burn them all to the ground.]] The speech ends thus:
-->"This ends, for all of us. End Communication."
* When Lilac defeats [[BigBad Lord]] [[FinalBoss Brevon]] in ''VideoGame/FreedomPlanet'':
-->'''Lilac''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Nobody. Hurts. MILLA!]]
* The ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' series is full of these, especially in the second, where if you land a shot with a Torque Bow, your character will comment on their opponent's imminent demise.
** Sometimes the victim will give an OhCrap instead.
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'''s considerably more badass Kratos does these as well, but his best so far?
-->'''Ares''': "I was trying to make you a great warrior!"\\
'''Kratos''': "You succeeded."
* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':
** The Arbiter in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'':
--->'''Truth:''' I! Am! Truth! The voice of the Covenant!\\
'''Arbiter:''' And so, you must be silenced.
** In ''VideoGame/HaloReach'', a truly outstanding moment of badassitude- Emile, after manning the mass driver, and giving the Covies hell, has a Phantom drop two Zealots over. What does he do? Well, he [[spoiler: manages to shotgun one of them in the face, before being impaled by the others' Energy Sword. Undeterred, he stabs the other Elite in the neck with his signature, pulling off this ''epic'' line:]]
--->'''Emile:''' I'm ready! How 'bout you?!
* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'': Though [[WombLevel it doesn't work as intended]], Hades gets points for still getting a pretty cool line out of it after Pit's finally pissed him off for real.
-->'''Hades:''' You know what, Pitty-Pat? You're looking ''mighty tasty!'' Down the '''HAAAAAAATCH!!'''
** Pit gets one of his own two chapters later.
--->'''Pit:''' I fight for all things living and breathing. I fight for all departed souls still hanging in limbo! But most of all, I fight for Lady Palutena, the goddess of light! And it is in all their names that I will defeat you, Lord of the Underworld! I won't let you desecrate another soul!\\
''([[WaveMotionGun Final Strike is fully charged]]; press R for CrowningMomentOfAwesome)''
* In ''VideoGame/Killer7'', Dan delivers one to Curtis after defeating him and before he can give a FinalSpeech:
-->'''Dan:''' Trying to die in style? Give me a break, you sick old man!
* Most end-of-chapter boss fights in ''VideoGame/KillerIsDead'' end with a QTE to get Mondo to ready his sword for the killing blow, before declaring [[TitleDrop "Killer is dead."]]
* ''VideoGame/KillingFloor'''s [[BigBad Patriarch's]] "One in the pipe!" commonly ends with rocket launcher-induced death of at least one squad member.
* ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'': [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Axel]] delivers one to Vexen, with the line and following execution method differing between the GBA game and the remake.
-->'''Axel''' ''(GBA)'': [[CallBack Now you can tell me I don't respect my elders]]. ''(Eternal Flame to the back of the head)''\\
'''Axel''' ''(Re:Chain)'': Goodbye. ''(BadassFingersnap, KillItWithFire)''
* Two of the three endings to the Mystery Island Quest in ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' have Bond One-Liners. The third, and hardest to get (a few small mistakes, and it can become impossible to get) instead have this trope: the player character points out that even with all the shouted accusations, thunder, rain, etc, The Big Wisniewski and The Man have forgotten one little thing in their dramatic final battle: [[spoiler: "Explosions. Giant explosions in slow motion."]]. Said missing element is quickly introduced by the player, courtesy of a [[spoiler: pirate]] flaregun.
* ''VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw'': When Juliet is about to finish off Josey, who has video game-based powers.
-->'''Juliet''': Looks like you ran out of coins.
* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
** ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'' has one (probably more, knowing Shepard) in ''Bring Down the Sky''; after doing something morally questionable to catch a bad guy, the bad guy asks Shepard "Who's the real terrorist?" to which Shepard replies, "You. But you're dead." BLAM!
** Thanks to the interrupt system, the second game features even more opportunities to do this. Like telling a ranting krogan "You talk too much" before shooting at the tank of flammable gas he's unwittingly standing over.
** Samara from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'': [[DissonantSerenity "Find peace in the embrace of the Goddess."]] Cue NeckSnap.
** From ''Incursion'':
--->'''Collector Drone''': You are insignificant.\\
'''Aria T'loak''': Maybe...\\
''[Aria shoves a grenade into the Drone's mouth]''\\
'''Aria''': But you're ''dead''!\\
''[Aria ''biotic uppercuts'' the Drone into a Praetorian. Cue explosion]''
** Shepard gives one to a downed Reaper [[spoiler:on Rannoch]].
--->'''Shepard''': Tell your friends I'm coming for them. (calls down OrbitalBombardment)
* ''VideoGame/MechWarrior4BlackKnight'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp4ma1XPZNg#t=4m25s Eric McClair (the protagonist) versus Casey Nolan.]]
-->'''Nolan''': What do you say, buddy? Punch out now, and I'll give you a job... scrubbing toilets!\\
'''[=McClair=]''': Thanks... I'll pass.
* Probably one of the most epic uses of this trope ever in ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'', added into the climax of ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' in a manner that shows [[MamaBear the fury]] Mother Brain unleashed by killing the baby Metroid in front of Samus.
--> '''Samus''': Mother...Time to go! (Fires Omega Beam)
* ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'': When you're about to [[spoiler:throw the Formidi-Bomb into the mouth of the Wither Storm]], you're given a selection of these to choose from.
* From the wonderfully {{Narm}}-tastic ''VideoGame/MortalKombat4'' endings, we get this from Jax:
-->'''Jarek''': Wait, wait! This is brutality! You can't do it!\\
'''Jax''': Wrong, Jarek, this is not a brutality...this is a ''fatality''!\\
''Drops Jarek while he screams something that sounds like "[[{{Mondegreen}} I'MSOGAYEEEHHHH!!!]]"''
* In ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2 Mask of the Betrayer'', you get to say one ironically to [[spoiler:the former god of death,]] Myrkul, just before you destroy him for good.
-->'''Myrkul:''' ...In all you do, you glorify ''me'', spirit-eater... you stoke the embers of my soul.\\
'''PC:''' And now, I will snuff those embers out. Farewell, Myrkul.
* ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' is full of these. "It's open mic night in Hell, old man."
** The most ironic of all has to be the one after Bad Girl's fight, she refuses to lose, so she starts beating Travis up with her bat with his sword through her chest. The last thing Travis says before she dies is "I give up, you win!"
* The Protagonist of ''VideoGame/Persona5'' has a simple one for the FinalBoss.
-->'''Joker:''' Begone. [[spoiler:Satanael, Joker's max-level RageAgainstTheHeavens Persona, [[BoomHeadshot headshots]] the Demiurge.]]
** Each playable character also has one in their All-Out Attack quote, as they say it right before all the opponents turn into LudicrousGibs spouting HighPressureBlood.
* ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'' features several of these between the BigBad and people it ends up killing throughout the game.
-->'''BigBad:''' '''DOES HE REALLY *MATTER* TO YOU?'''\\
'''[[spoiler:Annah]]:''' He matters more to me... Than life.\\
'''BigBad:''' '''THEN... *DIE*.'''
* ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'': [[spoiler:[[AC:I already fixed it! And ''you'' are ''not'' coming back!]]]]
** During the fight, if you let Rick the Adventure Sphere talk long enough, he will eventually ask if you have a "Cool Line" prepared for when you kill [[spoiler: Wheatley]]. After some unsuccessful attempts to think one up himself, he will try to {{invoke|dTrope}} one by asking Chell to get [[spoiler: Wheatley]] to say "You two have been a thorn in my side for long enough!", reminding you to do so as he is plugged in. Once all three cores are plugged in and the final part of the fight starts up, [[spoiler: Wheatley]]'s dialogue will have now changed slightly to include Rick's setup line verbatim. Rick then delivers his "Cool Line". It's... a little underwhelming.
--->'''Rick''': [[LameComeback Yeah? Well this thorn... is about to take you down. Man, that sounded a whole lot better in my head.]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'':
** [[VerbThis "Regenerate this."]]
** "Grow that back". [[spoiler:After decapitating the DragonAscendant.]]
* In ''VideoGame/ThePunisher'' for the [=PS2=], mooks, upon being "interrogated", will beg for their lives resulting in a flashback for the Punisher. This trope can be played straight or not, depending on the player choice.
** "I have a family!"
--->'''Punisher:''' ''(Kill)'' Everybody does. (''BANG'')\\
'''Punisher:''' ''(Mercy)'': Then go back to them.
** "I'm just a soldier!"
--->'''Punisher:''' ''(Kill)'' That's no excuse. (''BANG'')\\
'''Punisher:''' ''(Mercy)'' You're in the wrong army.
** "I ain't ready for a coffin!"
--->'''Punisher:''' ''(Kill)'' No one ever is. (''BANG'')\\
'''Punisher:''' ''(Mercy)'' It's still waiting for you.
** "There's gonna be a massacre!"
--->'''Punisher:''' ''(Kill)'' You're right. (''BANG'')\\
'''Punisher:''' ''(Mercy)'' Don't be a part of it.
* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' features them on occasion.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'', whoever's B scenario you're playing gets one when they finish off Mr. X:
--->'''Leon''': Game over.\\
'''Claire''': You lose, big guy.
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'', if you [[spoiler:go out of your way to finish off Nemesis in the final battle and risk getting killed by the nuke]]:
--->'''Jill''': "[[MundaneMadeAwesome You want STARS?]] [[{{Narm}} I'll give you STARS!]]"
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''
--->'''Billy''': Hey queenie! Feast on this!
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', all the lines Krauser utters during the CutsceneBoss sequence can become one if you botch the QTE:
--->"You catch on quick, as expected. After all, you and I both know where we come from."\\
"All for Umbrella's sake... Enough talk. Die, comrade!"\\
"Oh, I needed her to buy Saddler's trust in me. Like you, I'm American."
** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'':
--->'''Chris''': Suck on this, [[spoiler:Wesker]]!
*** Sheva gets quite a few of these. "Burn in hell, you son of a bitch!"
*** Barry Burton, in the DLC "Mercenaries: Reunion" also gets several of these when performing his finishing move, Miranda Rights, several of which are references to the awful localization of the first game, including such gems as "I have ''this!''" and "What ''is'' this?" before drawing his signature magnum revolver and executing downed enemies. If the player uses the taunt command just before performing the attack, he'll also yell "What's the matter, outta ammo?" and "Comeon-Comeon!" (as two words, just like that) before performing his ''coup-de-grace.''
* ''VideoGame/ScorchedEarth'' has an option for talking tanks, which can have them delivering these just before firing. The lines are stored in a text file, so you can easily go and add your own.
* Upon defeating [[FinalBoss Deko]] in ''VideoGame/SinAndPunishmentStarSuccessor'':
-->'''Deko''': [[ThisCannotBe How can this be?]] You've defied the will of the creators! Your allegiance to that monster will destroy this entire universe!\\
'''Isa''': [[YouMonster There's only one monster here]]... And that's [[NoYou you]], Deko!
* At the start of Squigly's story mode in ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'', the Mafia assassin Black Dahlia arrives unexpectedly at Selene Cortinello's birthday party.
-->'''Black Dahlia:''' Happy birthday, Selene. Time to blow out your candles.\\
(''Screen cuts to black with sounds of gunshots and screaming'')\\
'''Black Dahlia:''' (''[[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath Holding a crying Squigly's head to the wall with a gun pressed to her temple]]'') Don't forget to make a wish!
** Unfortunately for them, Selene does make a wish... on [[ArtifactOfDoom the Skull Heart]].
* Though he doesn't kill him, Darkspine Sonic in ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings'' tells Djinn Erazor "Your tale is finished, Erazor! Next time, try writing a better story."
%%* Gig from ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'' uses this trope a lot. Mainly because he's an insane psychopath who enjoys watching people suffer.
* At the end of ''[[VideoGame/LegacyOfKain Soul Reaver 2]]'', Raziel to [[spoiler:Serafan Warrior Raziel]]: "I renounce you."
* Roger to the endodroid in ''VideoGame/SpaceQuestVIRogerWilcoInTheSpinalFrontier'': "Frosta la keister, baby!" Of course, since not only the line but the whole subplot is a ShoutOut to ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', the endodroid, like the T-1000, can recover from being frozen and shattered.
* In ''VideoGame/StarcraftI'', Duran gives one to Stukov...
-->'''Duran''': Say goodnight, Stukov.
** ...only for [[BackFromTheDead Stukov]] to return the favor four years (eighteen out of universe) later in ''VideoGame/StarcraftIILegacyOfTheVoid'':
--->'''Stukov''': I've come to [[IronicEcho say goodnight]], [[PrecisionFStrike you son of a bitch]].
* ''VideoGame/StarFoxZero'' has Fox deliver one after defeating Aquarosa:
-->'''Caiman''': You beat us AGAIN?! I'm NEVER gonna live this down...\\
'''Fox''': You got that right.\\
''[Aquarosa explodes, presumably killing Caiman.]''
* ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'' gives either Reman character Obisek or the Romulan PlayerCharacter captain this line, depending on who you play as, towards Hakeev
-->'''Obisek/Player''': This is ''less'' than you deserve! ''[BoomHeadshot]''
* In general, finishing any boss in the VideoGame/TalesSeries with a [[LimitBreak Hi-Ougi/Mystic Arte]] can feel very much like doing this.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' : Kratos' most famous line, mostly for its {{punctuat|edPounding}}ion: "Feel the pain ''[stabs the villain]'' of those inferior beings ''[stabs, sheathes]'' as you burn in Hell."
%%* ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'''s Yuri Lowell does this to a few people, notably [[spoiler:Alexei and Zagi]].
* ''Franchise/TombRaider'' has a few, notably at the end of TRIII, [[spoiler: when Willard is telling Lara his plans.]]
-->'''Lara:''' Your perception of good timing is... bad.
** Unfortunately, [[spoiler: she fails to kill him at the time, as he throws a table at her.]]
* Shiki Tohno from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'':
-->'''Shiki''': You're not scared, are you? The path called death is something you're familiar with. If there's a difference now, it's only one thing - this time, you can't come back.
* ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'' is quite fond of these. Nathan Drake gives out epic one-liners to the BigBad of each game right before their death.
-->'''Drake:''' (''to Navarro'') Adios asshole.\\
'''Drake:''' (''to Lazarević'') Maybe not...but they do.\\
'''Drake:''' (''to Talbot'') Time to end this, you son of a bitch!\\
'''Drake:''' (''to Rafe'') You want the treasure Rafe? You can have it.
* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'', as Arthas prepares to run Terenas through with his sword:
-->'''Terenas''': What is this? What are you doing, my son?\\
'''Arthas''': Succeeding you... father.
* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000SpaceMarine'' has this little exchange:
-->'''Grimskull''': I ain't finished with you yet, Space Marine!\\
'''Titus''': But I am finished with you, Ork.
* Seether drops a simple, "Goodbye!" on a hapless Hellcat pilot in ''[[VideoGame/WingCommander Wing Commander IV]]'' before dispatching him with his fission cannons.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': Subverted in the Lich King fight, when he has taken the time to make this very long speech that all of the players he killed with his SealedBadassInACan would stay dead. Sadly, he forgot to kill one NPC, which turns his EvilPlan into a free kill.
