Ok this topic has been done numerous times, but I just wanted to share this gem.
"Have you heard of the black garden?"
"We've heard the legends"
NO WE HAVEN'T, NO WE HAVEN'T!!!
We literally heard a passing mention of it, but the player is no position to know any legends, hell even the character you play as is in no position to know any legends!
Gasp* sorry I had to get that off my chest.
But it's the kind of line that shows how little cohesive narrative the game has. It can't even establish whose perspective the player is supposed to be in. Are we the silent protagonist, like Gordon freeman and link, or are we an established character with a personal history and motivation like booker from bioshock infinite?
In short, one of the writer's biggest jobs is to anticipate what the spectator knows or doesn't know, and what perspective the spectator is supposed to take.
Sorry about the rant
Edit: I'm not gonna lie, I do like the line "couldn't we just stay with the murderous robots instead?" It makes me chuckle every time.
Well thank you writers, I'll have bad quotes I'll always love to hate and quote on my everyday life.
Edit2: me thinks the line "I don't even have time to explain..." Is responsible for most guardian fatalities thus far. I envy it's K/D

Think they'd mind if we took their pikes
-
The "I could tell you, but I don't have time" quote is the biggest cockslap to the face.
-
Ghost: "Were not anywhere of know space and time/" The space I get but wtf how does he know were not in a place that has ever existed in time? That's when I took him to an AA meeting cuz lil dood clearly needs to stop taking whatever it is that makes him think he knows everything to have ever existed in all of time.

"I don't have time to tell you why I don't have time" LOOOL
-
...."is that a Dreg in you pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"
-
"They always do....."

-
This thought JUST popped up in my head as I was reading this post. WHAT IF... The voice actors from Gears of War did the voice acting for Destiny!? Like seriously, imagine if your ghost had the voice of Cole Train or Marcus hahah
-
"I could tell you about the great war" -Speaker Come on just tell us!
-
Think theu mind if we borrowed their pikes....
-
That invisible line that kills you when you try to free roam and climb those mountains in the distance!!!!!!
-
"You see that mountain? You can go there"
-
I don't have time to explain why i don't have time to explain.... Who the -blam!- wrote that line?
-
When you insert the disc and the game begins you will see bungie that cracks me up.
-
Wait, Dr. Cho?! Nevermind about that. WHO IS DOCTOR CHO?!
-
"I don't even have time to explain..."
-
How about the lines about Rasputin and having to find him
-
"I'm beginning to sense a pattern." Dinklebot after decrypting rune 2 of 3 on the first room of the Phogoth Strike. YOU'RE sensing a pattern? -blam!- you!
-
When Dinklebot tells us how important it is that we killed Riksis the Devil Archon. We had level one and two gear and he just strutted around doing little to no damage. The fight lasted 4 minutes. Yeah, he seemed like a real threat to humanity.
-
I don't have time to explain what I don't have time to explain what the worst line in this game is.
-
Speaker saying " I could tell you...but I'm not" why!! Fn why!!!!
-
The nexus. It's opening.

*evil laugh* the crucible is no place for mercy!
-
I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain. Just stellar dialogue, smh.
-
"YOURE FALLING BEHIND GUARDIAN!" Dislike hearing that when I'm in the Crucible zone
