Grey Goo. Sure sounds like an exciting game.

 

[Whimsical Phil]

SEGA's Renegade Ops. Such a fantastic game that undoubtedly suffered due to its horribly generic title.

 

[Dryk]

Grey Goo. Sure sounds like an exciting game.

I don't think you not getting the reference makes it a bad title

 

[KevinCow]

The Legend of Heroes

I don't think you could possibly come up with anything more generic.

 

[drunkendonuts]

probably these.

 

[AgentLampshade]

DMC : Devil May Cry.

Why the abbreviation ? It's literally saying Devil May Cry : Devil May Cry.

The first "May" is actually not capitalised for some reason, so its "Devil may Cry: Devil May Cry."

 

[johnnydrama]

Bravely Default. I mean, what the hell does that even mean?

 

[CommandThrower]

Grey Goo. Sure sounds like an exciting game.

It makes sense in context, and I don't just mean in context of the game. I won't argue that the title itself seemed to turn off a lot of people to the game, but I compare it to a scenario where folks would name a game "Frankenstein's Monster" and having folks say "Frankenstein's Monster? But I want the game to be about Frankenstein!"

Anyway, I will also echo that Under Night In-Birth Exe-Late is a bad game name. Awesome game, but a bad name.

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

Dark Souls and Bloodborne

real edgy

Souls and blood are themes of those games though, plus the titles sound good. Not even close to bad.

 

[timetokill]

dont forget

oh god why

 

[devonodev]

Rocket League would probably be much less popular if they called it Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars 2.

 

[BedBison]

Remember Me. Good game but that doesn't even sound like a title.

 

[skullmuffins]

I recall googling for something (FOV, I think) related to Remember Me soon after the game came out, and a huge portion of the search results were unrelated forum pages which popped up because of the ubiquitous "Remember Me?" checkbox on login forms. Bad name for searchability, for sure.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Ryse

 

[KevinCow]

probably these.

What? These are both great titles.

 

[Symphonia]

Remember Me. Good game but that doesn't even sound like a title.

Sounds more like a Robert Pattinson film.

 

[NightShift]

Words cannot describe how much I hate the title "Rise of the Tomb Raider."

I mean, good lord. That is atrocious.

Fucking this. I can not fathom how anyone would think that name is a good idea, let alone using it for a million dollar product.

 

[CloudWolf]

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

What the hell is a 'revengeance'?

 

[G-Fex]

Souls and blood are themes of those games though, plus the titles sound good. Not even close to bad.

I'm joking obviously.

Any bad titles go to JRPG's such as under night in birth shown bove.

 

[skyhaven]

Divine Divinity

 

[bobawesome]

DISSIDIA 012[duodecim] FINAL FANTASY

Is a pretty fucking stupid name

Pronounced: do-cock-'em

 

[Phediuk]

Horizon: Zero Dawn sounds like a fucking Mad Libs of video game titles.

 

[Riposte]

I'm joking obviously.

Any bad titles go to JRPG's such as under night in birth shown bove.

That's not a JRPG.

 

[G-Fex]

That's not a JRPG.

I got the J part right though

 

[Professor Beef]

"Awesome Possum... Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt!"

 

[DOWN]

I don't get the hate for the Rise of the Tomb Raider title

 

[KainXVIII]

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

What the hell is a 'revengeance'?

Metal Gear Solid in general is a strange title.

 

[Noisepurge]

might even be missing some...

 

[Phediuk]

I submit Dark, the world's most annoying game to Google.

 

[warheat]

Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness

 

[Dryk]

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

What the hell is a 'revengeance'?

Noun
vengeance; revenge (circa 1913)

 

[G-Fex]

I submit Dark, the world's most annoying game to Google.

I think it's perfect

 

[Moff]

 

[BossRush]

Somewhat off topic would Fate Breakers be a bad fighting game title?

 

[ULTROS!]

Kadenz fermata//Akkord:fortissimo

 

[Professor Beef]

Not shocked that's what Atlus came up with.

 

[Fasty]

Remember Me

Great name!!

Game of War

Literally the worst.

 

[Roxas]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Such a stupid name, still dont know how its pronounced.

 

[ULTROS!]

Also fortissimo EXS//Akkord:nächsten Phase

 

[Shuggananas]

Naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm 3

Or something along these lines

 

[stryke]

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Such a stupid name, still dont know how its pronounced.

Three five eight days over two.

 

[Chobel]

Noun
vengeance; revenge (circa 1913)

Holy Shit! That name actually exists?

 

[Hektor]

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II: The Rise of the Witch-king.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

What the hell is a 'revengeance'?

Revengeance.

 

[krainert]

The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II: Rise of the Witch King

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution
How many names and styles of numerals can you fit into a title? And this is a stand-alone game even.

 

[Genryu]

I get a certain amount of joy from games with the most fucking Japanese Names ever, like Under Night In-Birth or most of the Guilty Gear revision names.

But this made me retch.

Also fortissimo EXS//Akkord:nächsten Phase

 

[lord_lad]

Dark Souls and Bloodborne

real edgy

Bloodborne made perfect sense going by the context of the game...both literally and figuratively.

 

[lord_lad]

Words cannot describe how much I hate the title "Rise of the Tomb Raider."

I mean, good lord. That is atrocious.

should have called it 'The Tomb Raider Rises: From the Grave'

LOL

 

[kazegami]

Under Night In-Birth

Can someone explain the meaning of this title? My English is not enough to understand this one.

 

[karasu]

The Last of Us is pretty stupid.

Beyond:Two Souls

Mass Effect

 

[lord_lad]

You guys forgot about Arc System works fighting games and their sequels/expansion..
