I don't remember the exact line, but in Metal Gear Rising: Revengence they say something to the effect of "Just like the WMDs and Iraq!" Referring to how the US used a lie as a false pretext for invasion. It was just so straightforward and direct. Even today that would still be crazy, but that game has been out for a while. Pretty bold to put it in.
I recently replayed Metal Gear Rising, and when Armstrong kept talking about how much of a pussy America has become and started yelling that with him at the helm, he'd MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, I was fucking shocked.
Granted, I know that term was an old Reagan term, but fuck, with Metal Gear Solid 2 (2001) being all about the internet flooding with misinformation and AI making it so that you don't truly know who you're talking with... And with Rising (2013) being about a dude thinking America is too woke and wanting to make it great again...
AND WITH DEATH STRANDING (2019) being all about everyone being locked inside their homes, isolated with little physical connection to their friends and families, only waiting for the mailman to arrive with packages...Whew, if I had to point out a person I suspect may have a functioning time machine, Kojima might be it..

Problem: Seems like the point of this game is victory. The absence of defeat on all fronts. Victory in business ventures and creative undertakings. Victory in love and over other people. Political victory. Ideological victory. Hell, even sexual victory. Definitely a lot of object-based victories, too - having things and not losing them. One problem, though: not a lot of victors in sight. Everyone’s mostly losing. Why is that? And how do you not lose?
Solution: How not to lose? It is impossible not to. The world is balanced on the edge of a knife. It’s a game of frayed nerves. You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away - turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.

Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
I wonder ehat Cave Johnson would make of Slug from Atmosphere's line "When life hands you lemons you paint that shit gold".

A great one from Another Crab's Treasure:
"I'm not-...!! I...I am getting angry, aren't I? I think, maybe, I've been angry the whole time. Ever since I left the tide pool. I never wanted to be. Everyone else seems angry all the time. I didn't want to be like that. But I can't help it! Not when people like you always get everything you want, and other people get hurt for it! It's not fair! And I'm really strong now, strong enough to stop you from making things worse!...I think I get what Chitan meant now. If I'm gonna be angry, I might as well use it for something good! So that maybe, one day, other people won't have to fight like me! And what better way to start than to beat up a SELFISH...GREEDY...MUSSEL SHUCKER LIKE YOU!!"

I don't know if it's my "favourite" but I remember how hilarious it was the first time I heard that original Resident Evil line about "you, the master of unlocking". Granted, at the time I assumed it was all intentional B-grade horror movie parody.

Amidst the eternal waves of time, from a ripple of change shall the storm rise. Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon. Behold the Razgriz, its wings a black sheath
The demon soars through dark skies. Fear and death trail its shadow, until men united wield a hallowed saber. In the final reckoning the beast is slain.
As the Demon sleeps man turns on man. His own blood and madness spread throughout the Earth. From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz, it's raven wings ablaze with majestic light.

AC4, AC5, and ACZero are some of the best games ever made.
