There is bad dialogue in all games and it comes in different forms. Here are some examples of bad and cheesy bits.
In Time Crisis on the first boss you have a to defeat a group of claw men. When you have defeated the main one you pick him up and he says, 'The girl is at the top of the tower. She must be dead by now.' Then you punch him and he falls to the ground. That is so cheesy.
In the opening scene to Devil May Cry, a lady comes in on a bike. That's alright, but Dante says, 'Whoo, whoo. Slow down babe,' and then he says 'If nature calls it's in the back, okay.' The lady throws her bike at him and then Dante gets his guns and says, 'Let's rock!' This is awful. Surely the developers can come up with better dialogue than this.
Another dialogue problem occurs in ISS International Soccer on the commentary. If you tackle someone outside the penalty area and the referee doesn't blow his whistle, but the commetator thinks it's a foul, he normaly says, 'That's surely a penalty.' Are you blind? Do you understand the rules of football? I dont think so!
In Yoshi's Story when you complete a level the Yoshi crew come on and sing a little baby song which is so irritating.
Tell me if you know any bad bits in video games or cheesy bits.

It is a bit irritating but I found it funny, but then I rented the game so only played it for a few days.

Jedi Knight 2 has a lot of that, but I'll forgive it since the game is so good :-D
Another Dialogue problem is when the lips of the people who are speaking, don't move to the words that are being spoken. I've seen a character have his mouth in a O shape for 5 secounds when there speaking this line
"Welcome sir, im sure Captain wright would be very proud". For the worse case of bad lip play, or not mouth opening at all, check out the demo/full game of
Bridge Commander!

Sounds good, Axel
Its not just the dialogue, the storyline for most games are astonishingly bad... Especially given the amount of money pumped into these titles, how many times can we see the same hackneyed, cliche ridden plots?
For me, the clincher is when magazine reviewers (and gamesplayers) then espose these storylines as unique and groundbreaking, instead of mocking 'Battlefield Earth' wannbies...

Yes, Dynasty Warriors 3 does have laughable dialogue throughout.

I've been playing the very addictive dynasty warriors 3 lately and that has some really stupid dialogue in it, for example when you start off in one battles the first thing your leader says is:
'this battle is not an act of aggresion' That doesn't really make any sense, I mean what else are you attacking them for?
