31 famous video game quotes
Wondering what the 31 most famous video game quotes of all time are? There’s some powerful and iconic writing behind video games. Whether it’s because the gameplay is stellar, or they’re just one of the many beloved characters, a lot of the classics will never be forgotten.
Of course, it’s not always gameplay that has players deeply attached to a game, because sometimes, it’s the writing and dialogue. Some quotes stand the test of time because they’re relatable, while others are a bit humorous. Players who have been obsessed with video games from the beginning of time understand the profound impact that some words have had on their life, such as Portal’s Magnificent Seven, while others have become timeless because you’ve heard them so many times you’ve just got them stuck in your noggin. Well, we’ve done this list to include quotes from all types of famous video games. We could only fit so many quotes into our original 31 most famous video game quotes list from all-time as well, so let us count the ways with this update.
The quotes in this list aren’t in any particular order, because we couldn’t decide on a ranking. This is not a collection of the best game quotes. It’s simply a collection of iconic game quotes. We’ve tried to include a bit of everything here, and even quotes from relatively unknown games, as we recognise that a great line is a great line, no matter the platform.
Here’s our 31 most famous video game quotes list:
GlaDOS: Why would I need someone to talk to if I had all of you?
Wheatley: Oh, great, let’s all just stare at the death trap, that’ll be good. It’s the staring contests that always end badly, isn’t it?
The AI in this puzzler is fairly tyrannical, doing the majority of the talking. But when it comes to a memorable line, GlaDOS doesn’t deliver, instead it’s one of the many unseen characters known as Rattmann. Half the fun is trying to locate this individual and pondering what they do in the bowels of Aperture Science.
Portal: Still Alive
GLaDOS: Good news! The toilet has perfect timing. It flushed right before you hit it.
Every time you time these things just perfectly, you remember this quote.
Portal 2: Peer Review
GLaDOS: In this next test, you will make time (space) for the needs of others, just as we have.
Peer Review is often overlooked compared to other Valve games, but it is still an excellent, final adventure.
Team Fortress 2: Australium Heist
Scout: You guys with me? Good. Now, lemme go grab my jammies, I’ll be right over.
