Just read on EG that "Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R" (I'm not making this up) is to be released in Japan. What's the deal with the fucking horrible names over there? It's like they had three different names, couldn't decide, so just used them all. So, what are the most ludicrously named games you can think of?

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy - just, what?
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R - pick one name!
My Little Sister Can't Possibly Be This Cute Portable Can't Possibly Continue - OK, this has to be some sort of competition we aren't aware of

What say you GAF?

Although you say ludicrous, I say genius.

Bonus points if you actually own the game you name ;)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Final Fantasy Type O

Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy/Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy

SE doesn't know how to properly name games anymore. Also, I find it funny that JRPG localization has gotten extremely better over the years and yet the actual game titles got worse. I mean there's a game called "Tales of Graces F".

[benny_a]

Demon's Souls
Dragon's Dogma
Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning

Edit: Well not really ludicrous. They are just bad. My mistake.

[nemesun]

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.

[NinjaBoiX]

Dudebro: I'm typing on a cellphone.

I don't get it.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Crows - The Battle Action for Sega Saturn. Ludicrously redundant.

Don't Panic! Seaman is a decent one, too.

[cosmicblizzard]

Kingdom Hearts Three Hundred and Fifty Eight Days Divided By Two still takes the cake imo. Bravely Default is pretty close though. At least the former makes sense even if it is dumb. I see absolutely no way to justify Bravely Default unless there's some kind of item called the "Default" or something.

Good calls right here. Squeenix are so pretentious when they name shit.

[Alphahawk]

Back in the day there was an arcade game called, I kid you not, Tinkle Pit. I think it had to do with trains.

One of the nuttiest games ever:



Sengoku TURB Fanfan I<3me Dunce-doublentendre

I believe the "dunce" was supposed to say "dance."

It sounds to me as if some no good, hard up fairy is in the lamb after failing to pay her scary landlord. That's the only sense I can get out of a bravely defaulting fairy

Kyojin no Doshin Kaihō Sensen Chibikko Chikko Daishūgou. Which translates to "Doshin the Giant: Rescue from the Front by the Toddlers that Tinkle at the Large Meeting-hall" (Wiki translation).



It's that screwed-up. And yet I love the music.

Good one. So nonsensical. This thread should've just been, name some Squeenix games.

[Supervlieg]

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon

What does it even mean? I mean, how does a person, let alone a company come up with that? Its like random words put together.

[Absoludacrous]

In Guilty Gear's case they just add a word or letter for each new update.

There's been way too many updates.

Like Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: Championship Edition.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Yeah: Capcom's the real culprit here.

I'd rather it was Title Fight lol

[NinjaBoiX]

What about, Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game?

[Domstercool]

Not really all that bothered about strange names. It makes it interesting compared to seeing the same name again but with a number next to it, or a generic title that explains the game in its title. Battlefield? Modern Warfare? Pff Give me cool names like Bayonetta, please.

[Dragoon En Regalia]

ITT: Redundant game titles, my submissions included (though that Doshin one is pretty exact).

[Syril]

What about, Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game?

The title was really just Street Fighter: The Movie, but no one ever calls it that. Or in Japan, Street Fighter: Real Battle On Film.

I see absolutely no way to justify Bravely Default unless there's some kind of item called the "Default" or something.

According to an interview, the game is about knowing when to Bravely give up(i.e. Default) on your obligations. Hopefully it will make more sense during the actual story.

[Riposte]

People want to make a big deal about subtitles? Sounds dull. One must consider the nature of videogame titles before you go calling them ludicrous. That should be reserved for the really weird ones, not the "Championship Editions" of the world.


I don't know how Demon's Souls is much of a better title than Dragon's Dogma. The Demon's Souls or Demons' Souls sound better (Same deal with DD).

0x10c Seriously, how can you market that when no one knows how to pronounce it.

Zero X ten C or Zero Times Ten C

[Hot Coldman]

I always thought D was a stupid name for a game.

[VegaNine]

"Metal Gear Solid" and "Syphon Filter" have become so ubiquitous, that it's easy forget how cockamamie they sound to the virgin ear.

The Demon's Souls or Demons' Souls sound better (Same deal with DD). Zero X ten C or Zero Times Ten C

It's almost certainly Zero X Ten C...the "0x" prefix is meant to signify hexadecimal. 10c in hex is 12 + 256 = 268, though I'm not sure what significance that number holds.

Edit: Apparently the "C" will be superscripted? Goddammit, Notch.

More edit: Okay, after some research, it turns out the game's story involves passengers sleeping for 0x 0001 0000 0000 0000 (result of a Big Endian/Little Endian mixup), which is 0x10 to the power of 12 (c) in hexadecimal. So technically, the pronounciation could be Zero X Ten To The C, or Zero X Ten To the Power of C, or Zero X One Zero To The Power of Twelve, or really any combination of this shit, since no one really knows how to pronounce numbers in alternate numerical bases. This is horrible.
