"They... She will not be cured. All that suffering... I am no longer sure it was of any use. If it meant anything at all. I can't say if this newfound understanding... If there's any wisdom to be had in all that happened. I suppose that's for you to learn. And I hope you will." - Silent Hill 2 Remake
That's alright, I believe him.

It was my job to take care of you. We were supposed to take care of each other. And we did
I recognize Halo 4, but what's the first one ? reminds me of the haitian man in Limits of Control : The universe has no border. No end either. Reality is arbitrary (from memory)
The first one is the Assassin's Creed from Assassin's Creed.
My favourite quote from that series is
The standard Ottoman hook blade has two parts, you see… the hook and the blade
Assassin's Creed. It's their maxim/motto. It leads into a whole discussion from Ezio about what it means, where he basically says by taking part in the world, we are responsible for driving change to make it better, nothing is set in stone; and we may not always know how are actions may end, but ultimately we need to do the best we can, and own the consequences, good or bad.
The actual quote:
"To say that nothing is true, is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say that everything is permitted, is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic."

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.
Don't have time to play with myself.
