so you see the problem
Huh? That's what you went with?
Bravely 2fault
2Fort?
2fort makes sense. It goes back to Quake and 8.3 filenames. CTF-2fort maxes out 8 characters and is reasonably descriptive. The name is famous, so it stayed that way.
Bravely Difault
Am I being Mandela'd? I swear it was called Bravely Second
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bravely_Second:_End_Layer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bravely_Default_2
Two separate games
For the Sequel is a JP only remake that included all sorts of QoL features
2Brave 2Faultious
I'll be honest even Bravely Default on its own is a terrible name
What if it was a game about high score based roguelite about dodging loan repayments
Could be a great game about DSP
thank you
I said that before and got bombarded with
>"UM ACKSHUALLY IT'S A REFERENCE TO THE GAME MECHANICS OF GOING BRAVE OR DEFAULT!"
it's still a fricking terrible name that barely makes sense in english, does it make more sense in japanese or something? or is this another "Melty Blood" situation, where it's a blatant case of engrish going wrong that weebs refuse to admit sounds fricking stupid?
There's a a character in Bravely Default and his name is Brave Lee and he Defaults.
Why didn't he pay better attention to his financials?
It single handedly put me off the franchise
so is it "POH-EDD" or "PEE-OHED"
Because of where the apostrophe is, it's the first one.
It doesn't matter that they wrote it stupid. They clearly meant it to be pee-ohed, as in, pissed off.
so its pissed offed?
Fighting game re-releases in general, they just keep tacking on more subtitles and descriptors onto the name.

Horizon Zero Dawn
What the frick does this title even mean in relevance to the game?
Zero Dawn is the military project that was meant to wipe out all life on Earth so that the rogue AI robot swarm surviving on biomatter would die out; after which the Earth would be repopulated. Which was completely screwed over due to one megalomanic butthole; infact the same megolomanic butthole whose company's shoddy worksmanship and ethics were responsible for the entire planet being fricked over IN THE FIRST PLACE, had a meltdown and decided that: "frick it, If I can't have it - no-one can; and humanity deserves to be cast back into the stone age!"
'Horizon' is the unknown which followed after the fricked-over Zero Dawn project.
Wouldn't the AI have found a way to survive anyway?
Guess what drives the plot?
Wow, that's actually even more moronic than robot dinosaurs being taken seriously.
I just assumed it was a rogue AI story when I played about 15 hours or so on ps4.
Nah. You got told. Stay salty.
You told me what, moron? That the game has a high school writing assignment tier plot that was written on a mcdonalds napkin and never expanded beyond it's initial grease smeared conception?
Triangle Strategy
great game but terrible title. I remember everyone thought it was called "beautiful joe" when they first heard. It probably would've sold better without the stupid name
huh i've never played the game myself but I think Viewtiful Joe is a good title
I used to get pissed and embarrassed when my mom asked me what I was playing and I would say this game, she'd go "BEAUTIFUL, JOE? what is it called you're playing beautiful joe?"
Still hurts. Why was I such an embarrassing little gay b***h
>was
>mom
>mom
Jesus, I was in college when the game came out... what's with this "mom" crap, implying they were still children at home? Am I simply just too old for this fricking site?
Oh frick, you aren't the only person? That's an incredible discovery!
The game turns 20 next year. People born the day it came out can already post here
>Release date: June 26, 2003
Did you think everyone on Ganker was 40 years old like you? Mongoloid
huh??? I'm 35 and I still call my mother "mom". You're just a disrespectful shit.
i just call my mom amanda
Funny it's the most fricking old boomer in the site the only one that seems to never have grown up.
Not all of us refer to our mom on a first name basis, you unloved homosexual
Yeah but that goes along with the massive ego of the character.
My mom really doesn't like Viewtiful Joe, she thinks he's ugly and looks gay
At least she let me play it and watch the shitty cartoon but she didn't like it lol
it looks gay so it works
The joke is Japanese writing wouldn't distinguish between the two. The English speakers who would have the misfortune of trying to talk about it weren't considered.
It's View because he watches movies, duh.
Viewtiful is more memorable though
Viewtiful Joe has more jazz to it. No one would buy a game called fricking "Beautiful Joe", would you buy that game?
What the frick does "viewtiful" even mean? Is it some sort of gay portmanteau?
>so beautiful it should be viewed
like a movie, because the whole game is a motif on movies.
>portmanteau
what are you, a Yale gay?
>what are you, a Yale gay?
Read a book, Black person.
they usually teach you word play, puns and context clues as early as grade 5. Meanwhile you pull an esoteric term to seem smart, dumb Black person.
Nta but portmanteau isn't esoteric.
>esoteric
what are you, an Oxford gay?
Iirc he likes movies, so he "views" movies? Apparently it's meant to be a way to say "flashy, stylish", according to urban dictionary
I think they just wanted V theming in his name because there's V theming throughout the game with V ranks and V boomerangs and stuff and then Viewtiful probably works as a joke in Japanese because of B and V being the same to them.
The topic is asking for the worst game titles, not the best.
Should’ve gone with another name. It sounds like “Beautiful” which is not gonna sell.

that's unironically a good title when you realize it's a pun
a pun on what? it sounds stupid
even with the pun is still a stupid title tho
What pun is that?
i like berserk. he kills apostels and doesn't afraid of anything.
The adventures of Berserk, his girlfriend Mrs. Berserk, and his best friend Griff.
Was this game any good?
I had fun.
depends, do you like Dynasty Warriors games where the enemy AI is basically nonexistent and you cleave your weapon through them only to see it's done 1/10th of their HP bar, and then you repeat this 300 times for one battle?
second question: do you want to see Guts take 10 hits to kill a random generic grunt over and over and over again?
if you answered "no" to either question, then avoid the game like the plague
-triangle strategy
-cyberpunk
-that one that was like "under night birth x.3558akg///" or something
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r]
It's a cool fighting game tbh and the music is god like but i agree on the title being moronic, everyone calls it "unist" anyways
Under Night In Birth Exe:Late[st] is a fine title outside of the exe in my opinion. Under Night In Birth is fine, the game's about people called In-Birth's who fight under night, so the title makes enough sense even if it's strange at a glance. Late is a reasonable subtitle for an updated re-release for a game themed around the night and adding on [st] to make it latest makes sense for another re-release. I don't know what they were going for with cl-r, but I don't think UNIST is that bad, even if it is long and a bit clumsy.
>-triangle strategy
It really is an absolutely shit name. Octopath Traveller was legit, but Triangle Strategy is borderline meming.
"Halo" was famously so bad that Microsoft had to slap "Combat Evolved" onto it to make sure people knew what the frick they were buying
and now is a household name
I thought at first it would make more sense if they reversed the title and subtitle, so it'd be Battlemage: Lichdom. But either way "lichdom" makes not a lick of sense. I'm also not sure they ever explained what a "Battlemage" is and how it differs from a regular mage. For sure you were some kind of mage slinging spells around, but all the mages I ever encountered were combative in nature so I wondered why there was a need to qualify us as "battlemages". There didn't seem to be any other kind of mage.
I always thought a lichdom would be a kingdom ruled by a lich as opposed to a king. Also shoutout to this game for running like absolute SHIT on PS4 for ages, I think it got fixed eventually but I'm not sure
Lichdom is the state of being a lich.
E.G.
>He has finally achieved lichdom
Means
>He has finally become a lich

>wanna make a spell SO INTENSE that it crashes the game from all the particle effects and physics reactions it causes? go for it
Battlemage makes more sense when you consider it used to be a magic user subclass in AD&D that lost spell slots and gained armor. One of those terms old nerds use that have fallen out of favor.

What?
DmC: Devil May Cry is kinda hard to beat tbh
Yeah
Did anyone ever explain what the thought process behind "DmC: Devil May Cry" was? Did they intend for "DmC" to be a subversion thing where you think it also stands for "Devil May Cry" but it's actually a completely different thing like "Deadly madness City"? Was it just a particularly moronic form of laziness? Why the lower case m? Was it their idea? Capcom's?
No idea. My guess is - they probably had some twist in mind but because game sold below expectations they dropped it.
As for the actual name - it was supposed to be "real" DMC title but then they've started to explain it's reboot or alternative universe thing so probably Capcom told NT to change the title.
The reason its called DmC: Devil May Cry is because the original logo for the game was just "DmC". Companies love adapting abbreviations of titles because they believe it increases "brand synergy" like how Gears of War 5 is just called Gears 5, or how Player's Unknowns Battlegrounds is just PUBG now. The original logo for Street Fighter 6 was also just SF6.
Basically, somebody at Capcom thought it would be cool to call the new Devil May Cry just "DmC" because thats what all the people on the Internet shorten it to anyway. Then they got cold feet over the DmC name and slapped "Devil May Cry" on afterwards. Making it really stupid.
>or how Player's Unknowns Battlegrounds is just PUBG now.
It's actually PUBG: Battlegrounds now lmao
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battlegrounds.
Right.
It's pronounced "BABAGEE"
nobody wrote it as DmC before the reboot, it was always DMC
any Final Fantasy after the original
>GUILTY GEAR Xrd REV 2

it was almost called guilty gear xxx until some one told them
>Guilty Gear X
>Guilty Gear XX
As another anon said, someone told the devs what xxx meant for the west since in Japan the letter they use for describing pornographic content is H instead, the esrb would've told them anyways.
Anon, Japanese people absolutely know what XXX means.
I always pronounce "Xrd" as "Terd" like Ten(X) and Third.
Forgot to add that rev 2 is the last update after XRD got the expansion with more characters and major changes iirc which was called Revelator, so it was Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator, and the mini sequel got shortened to Rev2 since it was an update that added Baiken and Answer along more balance changes for the rest of the cast.
yeah what does that even mean?
is that a sequel? a prequel? in what order was this released?

>Just Cause

>cause - a principle, aim, or movement to which one is committed and which one is prepared to defend or advocate.
What's wrong with it?
>both alludes to a righteous quest as well as the ability to play the game like an explosion filled sandbox
Genuinely a great title
Nah, that's a good one. "Just Cause", like a heroic mission, or "Just Cos" for the crazy stuff you can do for fun.

No, it only has the same
>first two words
>cadence
>starting soudn in the third word
>different connotation to fit the associated world
I wrote that based in the idea that you are overestimating the Japanese’s knowledge of English idioms. I admit that I may be wrong about it. Maybe I’m underestimating them.
DMC is a westaboo game. Using a western phrase isn't unrealistic
https://capcom.fandom.com/wiki/Devil_May_Cry
>The game's name is a pun on the phrase "Devil May Care".
You didn't know it was a play on devil may care and now you're trying to save face.
it sounds like a hidden evil that is near home or hidden behind just a normal residence
Resident Evil is by far the coolest fricking name ever conceived for a video game. It just sounds epic and you feel cool saying it out loud
It's cheesy shit made up for the first game because it took place in a mansion, and the Japanese title of Biohazard is a lot more relevant to a series centred around bioweapons. There's nothing badass about it. It's especially egregious since only two games actually take place entirely in residences - 1 and 7, the latter of which actually cleverly used both titles in both markets.
The title screens going RESIDENT EVIL was great
I'll give you that.
I'm an ESL can you explain to me what the frick Resident Evil means in context? Is it a malign "entity" that has taken home in a certain place as a latent threat hence "resident"?
resident can also mean something like latent so you might imagine every area in the games has a "latent evil" (the virus)
but the zombies are people in a mansion in the first one too so it's like residents of a house
Resident Evil's kinda dumb but Biohazard is a shit name that feels like it belongs on the Atari 2600
if you accept "devil" as some kind of plural form of the word devil (see: moose) then it makes sense
I get that from god hand actually. For the longest time I thought it was a VERY different game from a WAY earlier time period based on the title and box art alone.

That name was so bad it made me actually want to play it. So I did, when I bought it at GameStop for 13 bucks at some point.
Haha, came to say this. This is the equivalent to movie title Eyes Wide Shut lel.

Eyes Wide Shut was at least based on a pun that had to do with the concept of what is done behind closed doors. Perpetual Forgetty is just a fancy sound oxymoron because the Japanese like to jam English words together in ways that sound cool

any final fantasy after the first one because it doesnt make sense to name all games as the "final" one
to be fair, we don't know the latest one doesn't make sense until the next is announced
they all happen on different planets. for the most part, the games tell the stories of the final epic journeys that decide the fate of their planets. this pretty much goes out the window for the installments that have direct sequels. oh well.

I decided to buy the game the moment I heard this:
I was in the mood to play some roguelike/lite game, this game was shown as recommended. I sae the gameplay, heard the music, and I knew it. This is it.
The fact that this soundtrack wasn't even nominated as best OST of the year is a crime against humanity. Oh yeah...

"I never heard of this title, but they're already on their seventh game?"
Is it not the 7th game? Wait, the Japanese title is "New Dimension Game Neptune Victory II"
What the frick is up with that? It's not VII it's V-II? But everything lists it as VII...
The joke is that it's both.
If you look at the release timeline and count the mainline titles including their Re;Birth remakes as individual titles, then V-II is the 7th title. If you count the mainline titles and side-story titles, but don't count the Re;Birth titles as individual entries, then V-II is *also* the 7th title.
Cherry on top: the game's plotline borrows from the transition of the 7th to 8th generation line of videogame consoles as well.
It was. You had the original, MK 2, Victory, then the Re;Birth 1, 2, and 3. It was actually fricking brilliant.
I used to think shit like Final Fantasy X-2 was dumb but at least it had the decency to switch how it did the numbers

think about it
?
Half Life is the term for the period of time it takes for half of an object to radioactively decay.
so how does that fit into the context of the game?
It's about radiation
One, it sounds cool
Two, the game has some general science/radiation/etc in it
Three, it also sounds like a play on life in a video game
kys zoomie
unless i play as radioactive man it shouldnt be called half life
Fair point, but the names of the addons are great and you can't convince me otherwise
Opposing Force; Blue Shift. Great titles.
Yes? In relation to the title of the main game, they are great puns.
Poe's Law. I was not even trying to be sarcastic. I do like those titles. Opposing Force has the advantage of also being very fricking good.
Like Half-Life itself, it's a cute way of using a science term as puns on what you do in each.
Most of these titles are great.
A real bad title is something like Outriders or Lawbreakers. Boring, generic, forgettable. I had to look up the title of Lawbreakers by searching "shitty cliffy B game" because I couldn't remember what it was called.
Same for Fortnite, Overwatch, Valorant etc
Just boring and obvious attempts to ape games like Halo where the title makes sense in lore
Fortnite makes sense for the original vision of the game. It obviously doesn't anymore.

it's NOT Wonderland? I thought it was wonderland the whole time wtf
I've actually always called it Balan Wonderland too. I guess I didn't look closely.
>NTSC subtitle refers to the game's main antagonist
>PAL subtitle just refers to the opening level.
Imagine if Mario 64 was called Mario: Portrait of Bob-omb Battlefield or something.
gateway to glimmer is the better name though
Wrong, eurotrash.
Gateway to Glimmer may not be an accurate title but it does sound better.
>hey anon, wanna come to my house to play Nuts & Milk?
I played the shit out out of that
Always thought Wargasm was a pretty terrible title for an otherwise pretty good game and probably part of why it's so obscure.
In modern times, Radical $Heights was a terrible title design, but in a way that I can't help but adore. It's the obliviousness of it, I think.
Anon, we're talking about bad names.
Im going to try it just for its name, so its not a bad one.

Any reboot (not an actual remake) with the same title as Game 1™ so you have to differentiate them by year

Super Cosplay War Ultra Infinity Genkaitoppa
Probably one of the most moronic ones ever but not because it sounds dumb or silly but because having the word "trial" in the title made people think that it was just a demo so they had to add a sticker on the box after release to tell people that it indeed IS the full version.
Seriously? 'Creepy Tale'? May as well call it Spooky Adventure.
Reminds me of this.
looks like a sóyjak
Never played it, but MeltyLancer Reinforce has stayed with me ever since I first heard of it decades ago.
surprisingly great game, thou
What's wrong with that title? It's a bundle of games that came out between 2.5 and 3, with one of the games literally being the prologue of KH3.

>Dragon Age: Origins
Love the game, but always thought it was a shit title. Not only does it have the unnecessary "Origins", but they could have picked something less generic than "Dragon Age".
I thoguht it was the prequel to another game that came out before
Horizon zero dawn
It's like they took 3 random words from a dictionary
Any .hack game. Holy frick what convoluted titles.
I really fricking hate the name New 3DS
did no one post this yet?
That game is trash but what's wrong with the title?
>Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood
whats right with it?
If you're problem with it is that it's too wordy then you'd hate the other Werewolf game.
>Werewolf: The Apocalypse -- Heart of the Forest
It's based off of the existing Werewolf: The Apocalypse setting, which itself is in the same universe as Vampire: The Masquerade. It's equivalent to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, because the standard name is already taken by the TTRPG

This doesnt really compete with shitty anime game names,
but FRICK ME how do you screw up on such an obvious fricking name.
Yes i know its because of two companies wanting to keep the branding, i dont fricking care.
What's wrong with that? Seriously? I'd say this is title that tells you what to expect about it.
"Total War" gives you a good idea what game it is. "Warhammer" says everything about setting.
Literally everyone in the history of ever, besides you, agrees the name should have been Total Warhammer.
It's more that a better title was within arms reach but they didn't take it.
If "Total War" wasn't a recognized brand I'd agree with you. The reality is - everyone knows what are Total War games so it's OK. At best, they could switch them.
Are... are you a board of directors member?
Thats some straight up "i dont know what video games are" suit logic.
Maybe your taking that patrick bateman thing too far
Just a branding decision.
Originally it went Title: Total War.
Shogun: Total War
Medieval: Total War
Rome: Total War
Medieval: Total War 2
Etc. But for a branding decision they started putting Total War first beginning with Total War: Shogun 2. Yes it sucks and sounds awkward. Total Warhammer was the obvious title and they all know it. But mandates are mandates.

Not sure how much it impeded the game's success, hopefully not at all, but it's definitely a silly name.

>You know, 007! The game with spy guy in it!
I have literally never seen this happen ever in my entire life. It's only ever called Goldeneye.
"spy guy"? who the frick doesn't know James Bond? I think you're just making this shit up
That guy boomers like. You know, people over 8.
This routine you're doing makes no sense. Why would a kid born today know Goldeneye on N64 enough to cite it as a favorite, but NOT know the name Goldeneye?
Same reason people don't know what Django Unchained is, but cite Django as a great movie, or when you say you like the movie Tomb Raider, they ask which one. Stupid people don't know titles. Stupid people play Nintendo consoles.
Technically the original game was called

>Dragon Age: Origins
Origins is the typical uncreative tagline for westacuck games, but tacking it on to the first game in the series is fricking moronic.
it's in reference to the origin start system anon, not being the first in a series. I can't think of any other game that have done it so well. cyberpunk is the last one that tried and we know how that turned out.
Irrelevant. The subtitle is painfully overused in film and games, they should have removed it or changed it.
>it's in reference to the origin start system
That's even worse. Why the frick do I care about some in-game mechanic for the first game in a franchise?
Bioware are a talentless studio anyhow.

It bothers me they used numbers instead of letters for "13," and I don't think "Aegis Rim" was a necessary inclusion.
"Thirteen Sentinels" sounds like a great title on its own.

>unintentionally becomes a bad name
That it's called Remember Me is the only reason people remember it for the irony of it being the name of a forgettable game. In that sense I'd say it's a successful title seeing as otherwise people just wouldn't care at all.
