15 Most Badass Monologues In Video Game History

5. "We Are Soldiers Without Borders..." (MGS Peace Walker)

Big Boss had all the right intentions. The idea of soldiers fighting independently of ideology, religion or other belief system prescribed by governments was clearly a utopian vision in the mind of someone who knows no other way of interacting with the world than through guns and armed combat.

In one of the most sincere speeches in the series, and the closest Naked Snake ever comes to being 'heartfelt', it encapsulates the war-shaped existence of Snake and his fellow soldiers, and a sincere (if scarily deluded) belief that he could create a better life for them. This speech sets in motion the conflicts, shady conspiracies and other grim events of most of the MGS series, and if you find yourself lost in the convoluted story, then listening to it tells you a lot of what you need to know in relatively few words.
