A lot of the time, they’re memorable because of their stellar gameplay.
Occasionally, though, it’s their writing and dialogue that live long in the memory.
While you probably don’t remember entire scripts, certain quotes become timeless.
Sometimes, they are relatable and wise, while in other instances, the words are a bit humorous.
There are so many classic lines to choose from, but some are more famous than others.
Now, we’ve returned to the collection to add a few more.
The only requirement for a quote to make the list is that it’s well-known.
So, it doesn’t matter how impactful or humourous the line is.
“I’m In Space.”
The majority of the hilarious quotes come from GlaDOS, Wheatley, or Cave Johnson.
Yet, the little Space Core shouldnt be overlooked.
This circular bot provides some laughs, mainly through its love of space.
It continually rambles on about space.
Only now, it keeps saying, Im in Space.
“Objection!”
Those who havent played them know that people say Objection in them.
This is because the Objections in these games are popular beyond the series.
The reason for this is theyre so abrupt and intentionally over-the-top that people find them funny.
Plus, theyre great material for memes.
“Switching To Your Pistol Is Always Faster Than Reloading.”
When you see the quote written down, it seems an innocuous line.
“I Need A Weapon.”
This comes after a Commanding Officer has just fully explained the dangerous situation that they’re all in.
“The Numbers Mason, What Do They Mean?”
During the interrogation, Mason keeps being asked about an important sequence of numbers.
He says it so much that it has been burned into every player’s brain forever.
“Jason!”
Unfortunately, during this trip to the mall, Ethan’s son, Jason, goes missing.
So, you have to run around the place shouting his name to find him.
It’s supposed to be a harrowing sequence, as you’ve lost your child.
This is the case forGeralt’s iconic quoteabout not wanting to choose between two evils.
It’s also just a really interesting line about morality, which also gives insight into Geralt’s personality.
This is likely why it features in the trailer for The Witcher 3.
“What Are Ya Buying?”
His role in the game is to act as a shop.
you’re able to buy items from him or sell them.
When you’re looking to buy, he often utters the words, “What are ya buying.”
This seems normal enough when it’s written down.
Therefore, it has become a well-known phrase.
“Hadouken!”
One that does, though, is “Hadouken!”
This is the line Ryu shouts when performing his energy blast attack.
“Im Commander Shepard, And This Is My Favorite Store On The Citadel!”
In the said message, you say that the particular store you’re at is your favorite.
As this gets you a discount, most players record a message for each shop.
So, throughout the game, you may hear it a lot.
This is why it’s so famous.
“Ah S**t, Here We Go Again.”
Yet, it really became well-known once the meme got popular.
“Wake The F**k Up, Samurai!
Instead, it’s said in one of the early trailers.
Some quotes in Cyberpunk stand above the rest.
The reveal that the popular actor would be a part of the title increased the hype around it significantly.
“Hey, You, You’re Finally Awake.”
Therefore, a lot of people have played the game.
Yet, the adventure is so long that not everybody reaches the end.
His first words are an acknowledgment of you waking up.
The sequence is so well-known that the first line has become famous.
“You Forget A Thousand Things Every Day, Pal.
see to it This Is One Of ‘Em.”
It’s easily remembered because it’s his signature line that he tells people who witness his crimes.
The line is also important to the overall GTA 5 story.
Once Trevor hears it on the news, he realizes his old criminal buddy is actually alive.
This moment sets the game’s main plotline in motion.
“Nanomachines, Son.”
This continues in the spin-off sequel Metal Gear Rising Revengeance when it comes to the final boss.
And he explains his superhuman strength by simply saying, “Nanomachines, son.”
It’s a hilarious statement that has become a well-known meme.

Yet, she is not responsible for the most famous quote in the game.
That prize goes to an unseen character known as Rattmann.
The line subsequentlybecame a memeand now lives forever in gaming history.
“Youd Just Come After Her.”
This is the case for the final words Joel says to Marlene before executing her.
Lines that haunt us to this day.

Marlene just wanted a cure for humanity.
The line in question proves that and adds extra impact to the scene.

Someone Else Might Have Gotten It Wrong.”

Due to the latter, he says a lot of words throughout the series.
But the ones that live long in the memory are his last.
It’s a perfect line for the character as it’s witty and arrogant, just like him.
“It’s A Me, Mario!”
Mario (Super Mario Series)
No character in gaming history is as recognizable as Mario.
Even people who have never played a video game before have heard of the little Italian plumber.
Part of the reason for the fame is that he’s been around for so many years.
Yet, in that time, he hasn’t said that many words.
It’s a standard greeting that stands out because of Mario’s Italian accent.
“Remember, No Russian.”
The most famous one, though, is No Russian.
The villain’s goal is to frame America and trigger a new major conflict.
This is why he needs to verify his team doesn’t give away that they’re actually Russian.
“Nothing Is True, Everything Is Permitted.”
This Order has its own set of codes and rules, which are passed down by each generation.
The exact meaning of those words is debated.

And that is not solely down to the technical limitations of the time.
The whole personality of the main character is questionable when viewed with a contemporary moral code.
So are these characters.
It’s a match made in heaven.
That being said, Duke Nukem still serves as a memorable video game character.
So much so that his most used catchphrases also live long in the memory.
For example, nobody could forget his classic bubble gum chewing line.
The phrase originally comes from the 1988 movie, They Live, starring famous wrestler Roddy Piper.
Yet, a lot of people remember those words because of Duke.
“Wheres Everyone Going?
However, much of it is accidental, as many of his lines are so cheesy they’re hilarious.

The ridiculousness of the quote helped it become infamous.
As a result, it was one of the only lines not rewritten for the remake.

Lets Go Bowling!”

The constant jokes about his love of bowling have made the verbiage of his invitation famous.
People who haven’t even played the game know it.
“Do A Barrel Roll!”
Yet, you could argue that one single line from the series is more famous than the games themselves.
This line is, of course, “Do A Barrel Roll.”
It isn’t a particularly remarkable piece of video game dialogue.
But there is something about Peppy Hare’s delivery of the line that makes it stand out.
And these days, it’s incredibly famous due to it becoming a popular and heavily used meme.
“Snake?
SNAAAAAAAKE!!!”
It’s also a series known for being over-the-top.
Losing in a game can sometimes be worth it, if only for a fleeting moment.
It’s a pretty silly and hilarious line that nobody is likely to forget.
“Requiescat In Pace.”
As such, it has become a very memorable quote in the gaming realm.
“I Used To Be An Adventurer Like You.

Vaas (Far Cry 3)
The Far Cry games tend to provide colorful and charismatic antagonists.
This all began in the third game with Vaas.
Every scene with the unhinged villain is compelling, and he is the most memorable part of the FPS.
Throughout the game, he delivers several captivating monologues.
He says the line a few times, and it’s always chilling.
This is understandable, as there have been several great installments, each different from the rest.
The video is different each time and is tailored to its respective game.
However, a constant in each of them are the words “War… War Never Changes.”
Therefore, the line has grown in fame alongside the series itself.

One of those things is a signature line.
