SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud / Video Games

Lyle from Animal Crossing does this a lot. Bang.
ANNO: Mutationem: At the Ship Level, Ayane briefly says "Booooom" when watching Ann destroy a demolition drone.
Regardless if he finished his opponents off or not, Spring Man will often shout some of the violence-related words out loud in ARMS. Whatever if he says "Pow!" when throwing his opponents or "Boi-oi-oing!" when jumping off of the Mausoleum trampolines can be at least random when he says something.
Taokaka of BlazBlue uses this on occasion ("* slurp* "), but averted it at the worst possible time: the voice actor was captioned as saying "nom nom nom", but chose to make an eating sound instead. Bang Shishigami, being more, well, Japanese, does it with the Unsound Effect ("* glare* ") in addition to playing it straight ("* thud* ". Yes, he says "thud" when he loses in Story Mode.).
As with the television Buffy examples, the video game has Buffy, exasperated with the Scooby Gang's none-too-subtle hints that they'd like to go to the Bronze, actually say aloud, "Audible sigh..."
The original Command & Conquer had a Dummied Out "PEW PEW PEW" sound pack.
Parodied in The Curse of Monkey Island, when a rather nutty pirate who's just made Guybrush Threepwood walk the plank wonders aloud why he didn't hear any splash, and Guybrush yells out "Splash!" to allay his concerns; and it works!
Dead Space:
- The best weapon in Dead Space 2 is a foam finger known as the Hand Cannon. When you fire the primary attack, Isaac says "BANG! BANG!" When you fire the secondary attack, Isaac says "PEWPEWPEW!" It is exactly as hilarious as you are imagining. It can pop limbs off in just one hit, has unlimited range, and never runs out of ammunition (its only con is its lack of an aiming reticule). But in order to get it, you have to beat the game on Hard Core mode
- In Dead Space 3, you get the Devil Horns. They do the same thing but have only near unlimited ammo, so when you reload Isaac rocks out on an invisible guitar. But to obtain it the you have to beat the game in Classic Mode in New Game Plus.
- The Hand Cannon makes a return in the first game's remake, with the exact same effects as before. While this time you do have to aim, it comes with a laser pointer to help with this. The weapon becomes accessible after beating the game on Impossible mode, which is the same as Hard but with no autosaves and only one manual save slot (which fortunately can be saved over an unlimited number of times).
Devil May Cry 5: Nero's leitmotif song "Devil Trigger" has portions alluding to guns and bullets. There are lines (particularly from the pre-chorus) which use the spoken sound effect "bang" alongside the act of "pulling a trigger". The official music video uploaded by Capcom also has a part where the singer makes quick finger-gun gestures in time with the lines.
Frustration is getting bigger
Bang Bang Bang - Pull my Devil Trigger!
In Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, in her introductory chapter Flonne provides her own sound effects... while sneaking around Laharl's castle. "Woosh! Nin nin nin nin..."
Donkey Kong 64 has a weird take on this trope. In the Frantic Factory stage, there's a certain area where a loud, goopy splattering noise can be heard. It is very obviously a clip of some guy yelling "Splot!"
In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the combat dialogue for male vampires includes a chance that they will say "Hiss." at you in a fairly serious tone.
An unusual variation in Enchanted Scepters. The narration "A huge tidal wave roars from the south" is accompanied by the sound of an animal roaring, followed by a splash.
In Endless Frontier, one of Aschen's quotes is "Shiiiiiiiiiin...". which is the Japanese sound effect for (silence).
In Fairy Fencer F, when Fang first meets the villainous Zenke, he declares himself a hero and says "fwoosh." Zenke asks just what this is supposed to mean and Fang says it's the sound of the wind, causing Zenke's fairy, Della, to comment on this being stupid.
In the Silver Shroud radio show of Fallout 4, the Mistress of Mystery says “GASP!!” when she find something surprising.

In Final Fantasy X, Rikku explains her Fear of Thunder to Tidus, telling him that when she was a kid, she was attacked by a fiend at the beach and that her Brother tried to beat it back with a spell, but missed and hit her instead. "It was a Thunder spell. — Bzzzzzzt!"
Fire Emblem: Awakening:
- This scene with Inigo and Owain's C Support.
  Inigo: Sigh.
  Owain: Okay, just stop. You're not even sighing. You're just saying the word "sigh".
- Lon'qu also does this in his supports with Nowi when she gets him to play farmer with her.
  Lon'qu: Chop, chop! Shovel!
In Fire Emblem Engage, Yunaka tries to sell her loss of the Emblem Ring she dropped (after she had stolen it) by crying fake tears to Alear and Alfred while saying "sniffle sniffle" out loud.
In Gears of War, the aptly named Boomer enemies will say 'BOOM!' in a deep, menacing voice before firing their grenade launchers at the player. In the sequels, different variants of Boomers appear (Grinders, Maulers, and several more) that will say the sound effects of their weapons before they attack ('GRIND!', 'CRUSH!').
- Which is then parodied in at least one song, as the singer yells "CALL ATTACK!"
Mahira from Granblue Fantasy will vocalize certain sound effects depending on what she's doing ("Pon poko pon!" when using her drums in battle or "Donka chi, don don" while using a hammer during a Fate Episode), and she's fond of imitating chickens.
Half-Life 2 has a sound mod, were pretty much every sound effect is replaced by the creators voice, and yes you can use it for Garry's Mod. Video here.

Asha: PEW PEW PEW

In Kingdom of Loathing, your character imitates certain ranged weapons while firing them, leading to combat messages like "You point at your enemy and say 'Pew pew pew!' Then you remember you have an actual gun, so you just shoot them."
In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Salvatore tries to increase the immersion of his battleship minigame by producing the sound effects himself: "Spliiish. Spliiish. Ka-boooom!" The Japanese version had a different voice actor, but the principle is the same.
- Breath of the Wild, when you get Hestu to upgrade your inventory capacity, he sings the "Item Get!" jingle along with the actual game interface.
Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Deadpool again. "Bang! Bang Bang Bang! Bang Bang Bang Bang!" And in his own game he often says "beep, boop" whenever pressing buttons.

Liquid Ocelot in Metal Gear Solid 4: Bang! Bang! Points his finger at the helicopters and puts a S.O.P. lock on them!
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle has Dr. Letz Shake, who has such things as "SHOCKED GASP" and "DERISIVE LAUGHTER."
In Overwatch promotional videos, The Cracker Sombra taps a corrupt politician on the nose with a playful "Boop!" while Blackmailing her, and later repeats the gesture at the camera. With the politician, it doubles as a veiled threat, since it's imitating something the politician does with her young daughter.
Literally everything in Pencil Whipped, a game whose aesthetics looks like pencil drawings on a notepad coming to life. Enemies will verbally state "SLAP! SLAP!" when attacking, while blade deathtraps goes "SHING! SHING!" and swinging pendulums goes "WHOOSH! WHOOSH!"... it's as hilarious as it sounds.
In Poker Night at the Inventory, Strong Bad's response to The Heavy's story about brutally murdering an enemy Engineer is to say "That is some bleeped-up bleep, man!" Turn the censor bleeps off, and Strong Bad actually says "bleeped-up bleep".
Some of the defective turrets in Portal 2 are aware of their inability to fire bullets, and decide that they'd have better luck trying to pass their inspection in a different way:
Turret: Uh... Blam! Blam blam blam! I'm not defective!
In PriPara when the player's PriTicket is about to print, the character they played as yells noises like "Kyuuun!", "Babaa~n!", "Dondondon!" and "Pon! Pon!" as information is put onto the ticket. This was removed around the time the Kami incarnation started, likely to prevent people from stealing the QRs and because the player got a random item during the first installment of that incarnation.
Some Mooks in River City Ransom do this when you beat them.
"BARF!"
The "Zzt!" sound of laying down power lines in SimCity 2000 was a placeholder recorded by series creator Will Wright. The developers liked it so much that they left it in.

The Researcher: [SIGH] You can just actually clap instead of saying "clap clap clap" out loud.

  - "VZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZRATATATATATATATATATATA!!! VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!"

In Toonstruck, if you talk to Bricabrac after getting the outline of your overarching quest:
Drew: Hi, Bricabrac.
Bricabrac: Who is this... Bricabrac? The name sounds familiar, but, for the life of me, I can't seem to place the face.
Drew: He's you.
Bricabrac: Who's who?
Flux: You are Bricabrac.
Bricabrac: Yes, of course I'm Bricabrac — uh-oh, did you two sillies forget who I was?
Flux: Groan.
Drew: Heavy sigh.
Undertale has Lesser Dog, which starts by saying semi-reasonable things like "pant pant", then edges into Unsound Effects like "excited noises." As you pet it more, it starts making cartoony nonsense sounds like "kettle whistling" and "plane takeoff."
- If you compliment Mettaton's voice during the battle with him, he says he has the voice of a siren, and then says "Awooga!"
- In battle, Froggits say "Meow." and Final Froggits say "Woof." - apparently saying the actual words. When you talk to Froggits outside of battle, they communicate by saying "Ribbit, ribbit." with translations provided in parentheses.
- When you first meet Napstablook, their dialogue box reads "zzzzzzzzz" to indicate snoring, as they're apparently asleep. Then a few dialogue boxes later, the game points out that they're actually just saying "z" over and over, since they're just pretending to be asleep.
