Over the last three decades, countless games have come out on different platforms. However, most players only remember some great titles that stand the test of time. Usually, a few things make a game memorable, such as brilliant stories, addictive gameplay, unique cutscenes, definitive art style, and more. But sometimes, the tiniest part of games can make them unforgettable too.

One such element is in-game dialogues that most people remember long after playing a game. Over the years, many games have featured various well-known quotes, including “Boy!” from the God of War and “I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel!” from Mass Effect 2. In a plethora of powerful quotes, only a few can be considered to be the most iconic ones that the heroes have said while celebrating their victory.

Spec Ops The Line came out in 2012 and got buried under various great titles, such as Far Cry 3, Dishonored, The Walking Dead, Borderlands 2, Mass Effect 3, Max Payne 3, and more. However, it eventually became a cult classic due to its brilliant storytelling and amazing plot twist. In Spec Ops The Line, players assume control of Captain Martin Walker, who’s on a mission with his buddies in a desert-soaked Dubai.

Throughout the game, Walker witnesses tragedies, deaths, and more. However, it turns out he was hallucinating stuff and was the game's main villain. In one of the endings, Walker kills everyone from a patrol who’s there to capture him and calmly says, “Gentlemen, Welcome To Dubai.”

Duke Nukem may not be as popular right now, but there was a time it was one of the most renowned first-person shooters one can play. As the name suggests, Duke Nukem is a game about the main protagonist Duke, who’s out there to save the planet from scary alien warlords and other heinous enemies.

Duke says many funny quotes throughout the game while celebrating his victory over the enemies. Some of these are “Now you see me, now you’re dead,” and “You're an inspiration for birth control.” However, his most iconic victory quote is, “Hail To The King, Baby!”

8 “Oh Yeah, Mario Time!”

In the 80s, Nintendo experimented with their games and wouldn’t have expected any of them to be popular. However, almost all their games became cult classics, including Mario, which has spawned dozens of sequels over the years. Still, there’s something about the 2D Mario games that they still feel so fun to play.

Crysis 2 is a 2011 first-person shooter game and was a much-awaited sequel to Crysis from 2007. It’s a science fiction action game that makes some bold changes from the formula of the original title. These alterations include linear map design, level-based storytelling, and new suit design. Crysis 2 also features a new protagonist, Alcatraz, who’s gains ownership of Nanosuit 2 from one of the main characters of the first game, Laurence "Prophet" Barnes.

Shockingly, when the game ends and the players win, Alcatraz climbs over a pile of dead aliens and wreckage and says, “They Call Me... Prophet!” stating that players were controlling Laurence Barnes all along.

6 "You'll Walk... With A Limp!"

The Max Payne series is quite old, but players still remember it for different reasons. The first two games in the series are popular for their grim art direction, bullet time abilities, graphic novel art style, and more. However, the third title is famous for its fluid gameplay design, epic combat, and colorful story that shows Max leave his past behind and move on.

Max Payne 3 has many amazing moments for players to discover throughout the game. One such instance is the inner airport fight, where the song “Tears” by HEALTH plays. The next is the final fight, which shows Max sparing the main villain and then breaking his leg while saying, "You'll Walk... With A Limp!"

5 "My Vengence Ends Now."

Almost everyone knows the God of War series, as it is one of the most famous games on any platform. However, God of War 3 was something special, as not only was it the end of Kratos’s main journey in Greek mythology but also a conclusion to his storyline and redemption.

In God of War 3, Kratos fights through every main Greek god and goddess and destroys them as part of his vengeance. Since the entire series revolves around revenge, the closure is perfect when Kratos kills everyone and ends his own life after saying, “My Vengence Ends Now."

4 “I Tell You One Thing T, I'm Getting Too Old For This Nonsense.”

Grand Theft Auto 5 is probably the last greatest open-world game in the modern world. Titles such as Watch Dogs, Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row, and more are unmatched by the quality of details Rockstar Games created back in 2013. The fifth main GTA does many great things over its predecessors, such as better driving, improved visuals, and great gunplay. Hence, players still enjoy it despite it being almost 10 years old.

Grand Theft Auto 5’s storyline is also pretty good and features three main characters, Franklin, Trevor & Michael. After the final mission, the trio wins, and the oldest of the three protagonists says, “I tell you one thing, T, I'm getting too old for this nonsense.”

3 “Flawless Victory”

The first Mortal Kombat emerged in 1992 and became an instant classic due to its next-gen visuals and gore-oriented fighting. The trend continues, as Mortal Kombat 11 is also very famous for its realistic graphics and extremely violent combat.

Since 1992, Mortal Kombat has featured some of the most badass victory dialogues in any fighting game ever. However, no quote is as iconic as “Flawless Victory,” which players get after they beat an opponent without taking a hit.
