I know right. Who names their company after something that's complete evil.
Shinra Technologies and Yoichi Wada would like to have a word with you. Lol

ughhh
I thought it was pretty obvious that I meant it wasn't a fact that they were being pretentious ( the supposed pretentiousness is what you were offended at) by using that name. And for the last time, just because you keep on saying it doesn't make it true.
Nothing else to say here, this is going in circles
Just because you keep saying it's not doesn't make it not true. You haven't adequately explained how using a pretentious name isn't pretentious behavior. There's literally no way for them to live up to their name because it's apples to oranges. They just picked it because some people consider it beautiful. That is pretentious.
Uh I have explained it, several times now. They used the name because it is pleasing to the ear. Are all companies that have names pleasing to the ear pretentious now?
Nippon Ichi means no1 in Japan. Just like Sekai Ichi means you're no1 in the world.
If that's the only reason for the name choice, yes. Absolutely.
CD Projekt RED
That makes absolutely no sense to me.
What about company logos? Are they pretentious if they are visually appealing and that is the only purpose of the logo?
If you don't see how fucking pretentious that is then I have nothing more to say.
I wish you decided that like 10 posts ago. I already said it was going in circles
A2M
and
VD Dev
Edit: surprised I'm the first to mention VD Dev. When I see the acronym VD, I think of Venereal Disease. :/
CD Projekt RED

Straight outta the 90s that one.

Any studio name that has the name of a city in it. Really generic and if you decide to move then your studio name doesn't even work anymore.
Square was a terrible name.....The Square Company? I always laughed whenever i saw the name listed...SquareSoft was better but still silly....Maybe They should have kept the Enix Corporation name.Square Enix. I still can't get used to it. Squaresoft had a better ring to it.
There is no Sega Games.....its just Sega because Sega used to be short for Service Games.SEGA Games.
Turn 10. Like what is that? a kid turning 10 ?
No like in Racing(They are a racing studio).
I thought everyone who knew about Turn 10 studios got this?
You have bad taste or didn't read the whole thread if true.there hasn't been a single bad name listed here. You people are weird and freakishly pessimistic
Konami. Because FUCK Konami.
From Software is an awesome name for a game developer. I can't believe anyone would think otherwise.
may be people will rain on me.. but I think From Software is a pretty dumb name.. it makes too much confusions when talking about it
Midgar Studio
Just because it tries too hard to ape Final Fantasy
I'll give you Ninja Theory but Team Ninja and Digital Illusions Computer Entertainment are cool.DICE.
Team Ninja
Ninja Theory
Didn't know it stood for that. I stand corrected on that one.I'll give you Ninja Theory but Team Ninja and Digital Illusions Computer Entertainment are cool.
You have bad taste or didn't read the whole thread if true.
Because it has no bearing on who they are as a studio or the kind of work they do. It's literally only an appeal to people's predisposition towards the words.
Sucker Punch wants their games to be as hard-hitting as a sucker punch. Epic wants their games to be epic. Platinum wants their games to be platinum quality. These are achievable things. But what does Cellar Door want? Naughty Dog wanted you to think of a couple of lowly guys making games. Insomniac wants you to think about people too excited about the game to go to sleep. But what does Cellar Door want you to think about?
They just want you to think about musty professors who in their esteem have deemed cellar door the most beautiful word pairing that exists. If you don't see how fucking pretentious that is then I have nothing more to say.
If GAF was to launch a game company, what would its name be?
Gamecock. Juvenile and lame.
One of the points of naming things is to make it sound good. It doesn't have to make you think about anything. You attribute motives when there might be none.
High Voltage Softare, only because their output is anything but.
This generation's most emotionally-charge masterpiece of gaming brought to you by.....Naughty Dog.

Is this a joke? FF was the last thing in my mind when I saw the name.
Yes, I was a FF fan during the SNES and PSX days.
