Line 45:
'''Shepard:''' What is fun to fight through?
'''Garrus:''' Gardens, electronics shops. Antique stores, but only if they're classy. }}
*** Liara too in ''Lair of the Shadow Broker'', to the point of [[Snark -to -Snark Combat]] with Shepard at times. Doubles as [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] if you pursued her [[Romance Sidequest]] in the first game.
*** Even Tali gets in on the snarking game in ME2. There's this gem from right after you re-recruit her:
{{quote|'''Shepard:''' I'm not working for [Cerberus], they're working for me.
Line 117:
{{quote|"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to {{spoiler|set my own city on fire}}."}}
* Zyzyx from ''[[Sacrifice]]'', who incidentally is voiced by Rob Paulsen, the same man who voiced Morte above. Amongst the gods, Stratos can also get rather sarcastic at times, and good ol' boy James displays a surprisingly dry wit at times.
* Saki Tsuzura from the [[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast|all-female]] fighting game ''[[Arcana Heart]]'' has some win quotes that have her flatly criticizing an opponent's skill and/or mindset.
* In ''[[Marvel Ultimate Alliance]]'', [[Spider-Man]] ''EPITOMIZES'' this trope. 25% of his time is being useful, 75% is being an ass to Nick Fury.
{{quote|'''Fury:''' Spider-Man. Didn't expect you to answer my call [for help].
Line 124:
** If you have them both in the same party, the former deadpan snarks at the latter about finally meeting someone whose jokes are worse than his.
** In Deadpool's solo mission he encounters an evil clone of Spidey. They engage in an epic Snark-Off, until Evil-Spidey's master Arcade gets annoyed and interrupts so they can actually get to the fight.
** The game itself [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s this when you create a team composed of Spidey, Deadpool, Iceman, and Human Torch. This results in a team bonus titled "Shut Up, Already!"
* ''[[Grandia II]]'' uses the ''main'' character as its snarker, resulting in many wonderful conversations where the party wants to stop and help people in need, and Ryudo rolls his eyes, mocks them all, and reluctantly agrees to go along with it.
* Solid Snake of the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series, either in his own games or in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Brawl''.
Line 161:
{{quote|'''The Courier:''' Caesar wants me to destroy this place.
'''Mr. House:''' Was that supposed to come as a shocking revelation? }}
* The ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' games dispense this trope with a [[More Dakka|Vulcan Fury]]. Daxter has been known to ask the progression-critical warrior NPC "Have you tried attacking him with your melodrama? 'Cause it's killing me!". Samos is also fairly good at it...oh, and when Jak takes his [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Level in Badass]], he begins dropping his own smart remarks.
* Frank West in ''[[Dead Rising 2|Dead rising 2: Off the Record]]'', oh so very much.
* An interesting case in ''[[Bomberman|Bomberman 64 The Second Attack]]'' where Bomberman himself, despite being portrayed as a [[Heroic Mime]] in the game, is revealed to actually be a deadpan snarker after getting the good ending which goes back and shows what the White Bomber was saying in most of game's cutscenes. Most of which are snarky comebacks directed at his comic relief partner, [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|Pommy]].
Line 195:
'''Nick:''' Oh good! Now we can die here as adults.
'''Nick:''' There goes repopulating the earth. (When Rochelle, the only female in their group, dies) }}
* Since the game is about people with horrible backstories and their efforts to get past them, most of the cast of ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' are snarkers to a degree. Even the [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]] gets in [[Little Miss Snarker|plenty of burns]] in whenever she's not acting cute. Even ''Shirou'' is an acute [[First-Person Smartass|smartass and observer]] while narrating; he's just too polite to let the snark out most of the time. The best example, however, is [[Servile Snarker|Archer]], who {{spoiler|despite being Shirou from the future,}} is much less polite, and spends most of his time making fun of his allies, his enemies, and his Rin. Rin herself enjoys messing with people [[Politeness Judo|politely]], but her favourite target is Shirou, since she can be as rude as she likes and Shirou is a funny masochist who ''likes'' arguing with her. The only main characters who don't snark are [[Harem Nanny|Taiga]], Saber and Sakura; but if you can get past the [[Yamato Nadeshiko|reserve and self-loathing]] respectively, you'll see that Sakura snarks with the best of them like {{spoiler|her sister}} Rin, and Saber's chivalrous politeness hides a sharp tongue which is revealed mainly due to Shirou's [[Idiot Hero|disregard for practicality]].
* Elaine from ''[[Monkey Island]]'', who seems to take after her {{spoiler|grandfather.}}
* Lin from ''[[Advance Wars|Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]''. Especially in the Tactics briefings, and especially towards Will. She's arguably that much more badass because of it, though.
Line 255:
** And
{{quote|'''Panzer Grenadier:''' I ordered this rain especially for you Deihnhard...}}
* ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' has two resident snarkers: [[Jerkass|Jin Kisaragi]] and [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|Rachel Alucard]].
** For Jin:
