The Gear of War 2 speech deserved it. Everything from the music, the animation, the speech, and what’s at stake is just perfection. It gets me excited every time I watch it
Yea Halo Wars 2 came out after this video was published though hence why it's not here, but it is my 2nd favorite after Ezio's speech in the Bonfire of Vanities.
@@armando429046 yes you fight them in the "Campaign" but in quick action you can play as them... i watched all the games Killzone 1-3 and the Mercenary thing... kinda sad that the Helghast want to have their planet back but the ISA just eradicate them like they aren't even humans...
@@armando429046 unfortunatly you only fight for isa. also unfornute that killzone shadow fall doesnt have a speech. like even if not visari let his daughter make the speech calling back to his speeches
Watching this video really made me happy. I saw a lot of people agreeing or at least liking the idea the GOW2 had the best speech. I love that speech, it’s one of the best and I’ve listened to it many times. Same with the Killzone 2 Speech. But I think a lot of us are missing out on the CIV 5 speech. I think it’s truly is one of the best video game speeches yet.
the worst in killzone is that you're forced to play the bad guys, the ISA actually stole a planet from the hellghans and left them to die on hellghast. They broke threaties and tried to genocide the entire hellghast population by hunger, visari's the good guy in the story.
Personally speaking, I think that the Killzone speech is the best out of all of these. Killzone 1 has a great one but Killzone 2 also has a great intro speech too due to it perfectly fitting their respective context of the developing situation.
I love that part but I hate the fact that I kind of agree with Kevin Spacey. The US and UK have to act as the world policeman while countries like Russia and China dont do anything but occasionally use their seat on the Security Council to block things they dont like or just to counter the US. Even though Islamic extremism effects China and even though actions by the US, UK, Germany, and Japan benefit global security, protect international shipping, and make it easier to travel, ship, and conduct business internationally China, Russia, and most small nations reap the benefits while contributing little to nothing. At least Russia has the excuse of trying to old itself together and small nations are to weak to meaningfully contribute beyond their own borders, China purposefully does nothing so that way they can appear neutral and conduct business in countries like Iran and Pakistan. I think we do need to reform the UN, including removing China from the Security Council and including Germany and possibly Japan as permanent members.
@@arthas640 true, but imo china would be better off if they just dethroned their current leader, the way things have been going between the US and china i wouldnt be surprised if resource wars start like in fallout, hell theyre currently communists arent they?
@@username172 they would be better off but China has a looooong history of authoritarian leadership to the point their national "religions" of Confucianism and communism are both based on obedience that elsewhere would be labeled as "blind", so I dont see them reforming their leadership anytime soon. The current system directly benefits the leaders and allows them a maximum of control, a minimum threat to their power, and enriches them greatly. The leaders have all the power and since there is no voting the only way to overthrow them is through rebellion and as the Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, Tianemen Square, and Hong Kong protests show us the people would rather blindly follow their leaders even when it's at their expense and the leaders have zero problems massacring civilians to keep the rest in line.
@First Self the US does do some shady shit and destabilize some countries but they were also the only reason the Soviet Union stopped a third of the way into Germany rather then continuing into the Atlantic. The Soviets had intended to keep going and at the Tehran meeting they even announced that they considered the Balkans part of their sphere of influence just like Ukraine. They'd also intended on pushing into Scandinavia rather than stopping at Finland. The USSR had also planned on pushing into Japan and the Korean war was a proxy battle to break UN agreements on dividing Korea in half which is why the UN got involved and the only reason the Soviets didn't fully commit was because they didnt want war with the US. They'd planned on taking Korea and Japan to add to the communist sphere of influence in Asia. The US failed in holding the line in Vietnam but that was an agreed upon border dividing the country and the US had been the main thing preventing the communists from pushing into thailand, Cambodia, laos, and Burma and you can see how those countries did after the US pulled out of south east Asia. US involvement in Thailand is part of why they didnt get invaded or turn out like Pol Pots Cambodia. Even today China has shown their willingness to attack shipping lanes and defy international borders. The US sending "freedom of navigation" fleets through the south china sea and aground Taiwan has literally prevented invasions in the past. The Cold War and the War On Terror has proven the US willing to destabilize nations but it also showed the US willing to sacrifice alot to defend other countries and the US often spearheads UN missions like in Desert Storm, Yugoslavia, and across Africa. Countries lease bases to the US specifically so Americans will prevent that countries neighbors from invading and to provide internal security, such as in Germany, Japan, and the Philipines during the cold war through today and Japan continues to host american bases despite some of their citizens opposing it specifically because the Americans provide protection against Chinese aggression and help provide missile defense networks against North Korean missiles. Japanese citizens have protested the bases since service men have committed crimes, the bases cause pollution and noise, and they oppose it on pacifist/anti war grounds as well but the government and much of the public support the bases for the security they provide. It's a complicated situation and cant really be boiled down to a good/evil dichotomy. Geopolitics are rarely as simple as fairy tales or propaganda.
endmy suffering we kinda already have a resource shortage, kinda are on the horizon of a looming war, and people have no idea what’s to come Think it applies a bit
An underrated speech, in my opinion, is the speech given by 'The Machine' about WW1 and the horrors of the coming century in Amnesia: A machine for pigs.
"Enemies of the Imperium, hear me. You have come here to die. The Immortal Emperor is with us and we are invincible. His soldiers will strike you down. His war-machines will crush you under their treads. His mighty guns will bring the very skies crashing down upon you. You cannot win. The Emperor has given us his mightiest weapon to wield. So make yourselves ready. We are the 1st Kronus Regiment. And today is our victory day!" Governor Militant Lukas Alexander, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade
The killzone games are definitely worth it 1 is a bit dated due to being a PS2 game, 2 is definitely the best, 3 is more arcadey like CoD, and Shadow fall (or whatever it's called) is very different from the others
Jonathan irons speech just feels more real every year that passes..... problems need to be solved and nothing getting done...... honestly, I was rooting for him
Parts from Jorhan Stahl's Killzone dialogue makes...A VERY motivational speech...But you dont get to see it in one go I believe. It is shouted from propagana-phones, with only parts in cinematic.
“Rise and shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mister Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.” “Snake… Why are we still here… Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg, and my arm… and even my fingers… The body I’ve lost… and the comrades I’ve lost… It won’t stop hurting, like they’re all still there… You feel it too, don’t you? I’m the one who got caught up with Cipher, a group above nations, even the US, and I was the parasite below, feeding off Zero’s power… They came after you in Cyprus, then Afghanistan. Cipher just… keeps growing, swallowing everything in its path, getting bigger and bigger. Who knows how big now… Boss… I’m gonna make ‘em give back our past… Take back everything that we’ve lost. And I won’t rest… until we do. Our new Mother Base. I don’t know how long it’ll take, but I’ll make it bigger… better than before… Boss...”
Man the first one, remember that was actually really good and got me pumped for the first time in a while of mins of playing the game, then the boat dropped and I was like yea then I ran into a tank and blew up, moment lost, thanks EA always love the way u trick your fan base.
It's kind of nit-picky but i dont think thats a speech, its more of a monologue. A speech is usually done in front of a group for the purpose of motivation while a monologue us more of a rant targeted at a single person. I still love that guy from Far Cry 3 and I've even used that "speech" before with my dad and at a business class in front of a bunch of entrepreneurs
Man I've been looking for this one quote, taking about becoming the monster but remembering it's just putting on a mask or acting, that one should not become the monster like your enemy. Anyone know that one?
Arti no the “Men we lead those dumb bugs out into the middle of no where to stop them from getting their filthy claws on earth, but we stumbled onto something they’re so hot for they’re scrambling over each other to get it. Well I don’t care whether it’s gods own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine or a giant hula hoop. We ain’t gonna let me have it. What we will let em have is a belly full of lead and a pool of their own blood to drown in. Amirite marines.”
The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury. Not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take... inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare... They will remember us. For this. Because out of our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him. -Captain Price MW2 2009
The Emperor's speech in Oblivion should be on here. If Fallout 4 and Civ 5 intros count as speeches, so should the Oblivion intro. And it has more rousing music than either of those.
The Gear of War 2 speech deserved it. Everything from the music, the animation, the speech, and what’s at stake is just perfection. It gets me excited every time I watch it
Gears of war 2 was the shit back in the day
The best trilogy i've ever played in my life...
Killzone speech is way better.
Halo wars 2 Captain Cutter's speech was amazing so moving and really links to his history I mean he could've been an Admiral with Lord Hood
CliffySilver 66 cutter was Hoods mentor I'm pretty sure
@@prometheuslxi3125 you're right, Hood was Cutter's XO before being given a destroyer
Yea Halo Wars 2 came out after this video was published though hence why it's not here, but it is my 2nd favorite after Ezio's speech in the Bonfire of Vanities.
He could have been lord admiral cutter
I'm just excited for when the UNSC Infinity and the UNSC Spirit of Fire meet up, now that they are the last 2 ships.
I get so much nostalgia from that Gears 2 speech. Epic music. Epic speech. Pacific Rim level inspiration.
Killzone takes this one. It feels so real. Hell after hearing that I was ready to start fighting for helgan to
You fight the helgahst (i think thats how you spell it)

Killzone 1 intro speach is number 1 in my book
The gears of war 2 speach gave me fucking goose bumps when i first watched it... so epic!!!
the mass effect series has so many great speeches, bioware games in general actually.
Im a halo fan but gears 2 has a spot in my heart. Gow 2 speach gives me the war bonner.
Gears 2 had the best one out of them all. Loved the game so much. Still got it too.
Watching this video really made me happy. I saw a lot of people agreeing or at least liking the idea the GOW2 had the best speech.

The Gears speech was wonderful. Personally I thought Visari's speech in Killzone 2 was better than the one from the first game however.
Personally i think that Visari's speech in killzone 1 should be #3 and killzone 2 should be #2 and killzone 3 should be #1
the worst in killzone is that you're forced to play the bad guys, the ISA actually stole a planet from the hellghans and left them to die on hellghast. They broke threaties and tried to genocide the entire hellghast population by hunger, visari's the good guy in the story.
@@Arnor2207 The Helghast are certainly the victims, but they're certainly not the good guys.

Andrew Ryan’s speech in Bioshock 1 is the best speech ever in video game history ❤️
Kill zone should have had the #1 spot.

Fallout 4 gives me chills, everytime so poetic, Emotional, so relatable
endmy suffering we kinda already have a resource shortage, kinda are on the horizon of a looming war, and people have no idea what’s to come
Think it applies a bit
Don't forget the actual scene too black and white and so smooth for me it keels up the speech
Shepherd's speech in the Collector's base in Mass Effect 2 was Epic & I wonder why you didn't add it?
Not as good as gears 2
Surprising lack of Call of Duty Finest Hour, the Stalingrad speech.
Ah well, it's still an awesome list.
I like Vorkuta's speech
I feel like at least a honorable mention is Henry’s speech from FNAF 6
this came out before pizzaria sim
I knew gears of war 2 had the first spot
17:17 GEARS !!!

Prescott speech in Gears of war 2 was the best of course
The Killzone speech was like, the most epic propaganda i iver seen.
The killzone 2 introduction speech is the only reason I always want to play as a helgan
johnatan irons predicted modern US and nations politics and problems
Hi helgast
How the hell is this list not just full of SGT major Avery Johnston’s speeches
I never Played killzone but wow that was just epic
Do you know the lore of killzone. If not I recommend doing so, it makes the speech even stronger.
The killzone games are definitely worth it
1 is a bit dated due to being a PS2 game, 2 is definitely the best, 3 is more arcadey like CoD, and Shadow fall (or whatever it's called) is very different from the others
The best speeches in games are the CoD Finest Hour Stalingrad speech and the Killzone 1 speech.
0:11 everyone who plays hainan resort on rush mode in a nutshell
Comm ___ who does what on what
yo how ya gonna throw killzone in with such an amazing voice actor in there and still think any other game could compete lol.
Jonathan irons speech just feels more real every year that passes..... problems need to be solved and nothing getting done...... honestly, I was rooting for him
"Why are we still here?"
I think one of the greatest speeches in a video game is the Battlefield 5 Epilogue speech, it holds so much emotion and power in it.
Parts from Jorhan Stahl's Killzone dialogue makes...A VERY motivational speech...But you dont get to see it in one go I believe. It is shouted from propagana-phones, with only parts in cinematic.
The Revolution will not be televised, it will be played.
Battlefield 4... damn that game still hits hard.. especially at the end when you must choose.
jim raynor's speech in sc2, and lord hood's speech at the end of tsavo highway halo 3
WE WILL HOLD THE LINE- Captain Kirrahe: Mass Effect
Killzone is the best

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs has the best speech imo
Lost planet 2's speech got me, you felt rhe commanders passion and his desire to save the planet, to prevent the Over G.
Visari had #1
"I have a dream" tops everything
Is that a videogame one tho
Chairman Prescott had the best speech in all of gaming history. I personally see no competition.
Man the first one, remember that was actually really good and got me pumped for the first time in a while of mins of playing the game, then the boat dropped and I was like yea then I ran into a tank and blew up, moment lost, thanks EA always love the way u trick your fan base.
Why is the Stalingrad speech not in here?
Prescott has the beat speech in video games for real edit:he is in gears of war 2
