Worst video game titles Anonymous 01/01/2025 (Wed) 00:06:43 Id: 09dc29 No. 1056183
We often hear about the worst video games of all time, but what about the worst video game titles of all time? Starting off with two of the most obvious ones >Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days That's pronounced "three hundred fifty eight over two". Yes, they want you to pronounce it "over" but didn't bother writing it as an over. It only "works" in Japanese because furigana can tell you its pronounced that way, but its dumb even there. >Infinite Undiscovery Either an "undiscovery" is "lost", which would mean total amnesia (even walking, potentially even breathing), or an "undiscovery" is "not a discovery", which means the name is saying everything within is nothing new. (dis)honorable mention >Idea no Hi This one tries to make a English pun that does not actually work. The official name in "Day of the Idea" and 1: While "idea" in standard romanization, "イデア" isn't pronounced anything like the English "Idea" (as in thought) 2: "イデア" is a person, so the definite article here is just Engrish.
>>1060999 These are good titles. They match what the games are going for. I think the worst Nintendo title I can think of off the top of my head is... >Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 One game that I don't think has a horrible title, in isolation, but is horrible compared to multiple titles they wanted to use, is Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. It's okay, but some earlier titles that got censored were comedic, like earlier titles in the series. They were then used as titles of individual issues in the tie-in comic. These included >Friends With Benefits >Multiple Organisms >Bros Before Foes These are all obviously better than All 4 One.
>>1061040 I think 1 and 3 are way too overt compared to things "Going Commando" and "Up Your Arsenal", and even 2 is kinda overly dirty compared to them (a pun on "orgasm" is much harsher than "not wearing underwear" or "up your ass", which would both get into a T rated game unconcealed)
>>1061056 Yeah but the titles are also more directly related to the actual content of the game, that being a co-op focused multiplayer game. Any kid would just figure the title is referring to that, because it is.
>>1056213 >a copyright complaint was filed by Monster Energy 1. They had no legal standing because that's not how that works. 2. Run by jews, which tells you why it happened.
The worst video game title I've heard is Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of ar Ciel The only word in the title that's actually a real word is "of". It might as well be called Nip Nong Bubblububu: Whamathingapin of Woppoblaba.
>>1075128 >The only word in the title that's actually a real word is "of". Ar Tonelico is just the name of the series, which does have in-game meaning. Knell is the sound of a funeral bell, which has some significance, since the Ar Tonelico series has a lot of references to music and singing is how one uses magic powers. While Ciel means a clear blue sky, probably from the french word for sky, so "Knell of ar Ciel" could be inferred as the death of the sky or the mourning of the sky, as in the end of the world, though I only played the first game, so I have no idea what the story of this one is. The only non-existing word is "Qoga", but googling a bit, it means "end" in the fictional language that exists within the game's world. So if Tolkien could use random elf words in his works Todd Howard could use random dragon words in Skyrim, I don't see why the japs couldn't do the same for their own fictional universe. 2/10 see me after class.
>>1075129 >Todd Howard could use random dragon words in Skyrim, I don't see why the japs couldn't do the same for their own fictional universe. No, it's like instead of naming the game "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" having named it "Dovahkiin of Thu'um: Fus Ro Dah". Except the title I posted sounds even more retarded and made up than that. The title is retarded and you're retarded.
>>1075120 <MOOM I BUMPED A DEAD THREAD AGAIN!! Might as well contribute something less braindead. >>1056183 >>1056514 The fanbase usually just calls it "Days" because of its strange title. And as >>1060454 points out, that's not even close to the worst title for a Kingdom Hearts game. I think I'd pick Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- as the worst. Kingdom Hearts III isn't even really KH3; Dream Drop Distance arguably is. Probably why that game was called Kingdom Hearts 3D. The actual KH3 was just tying up loose ends and was kind of unnecessary. At least the next game is going to be called Kingdom Hearts IV, even if it probably shouldn't be. >>1056233 On a slightly related note, I dislike how the fanbase calls Divinity: Original Sin II "Divinity 2", when in fact there already was a Divinity II. It makes it difficult to talk about that game. How is Beyond Divinity? It's the only one I haven't played, it's apparently a lot like Divine Divinity.
>>1075128 I know you're already arguing and already had this pointed out to you, but I just really need to point out that knell is an English word. And Ciel is french, which is somewhat acceptable. And I assume "Ar" is an article like "the." It probably is in some real language that I just don't know. So it's kind of like "The Chingchong Nipnong: Knell of the Sky."
>>1075131 >No, it's like instead of naming the game "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" having named it "Dovahkiin of Thu'um: Fus Ro Dah". Except that "Skyrim" is not an English word, and it's only understood by people who are fans of the Elder Scrolls games and knows what it means, so it's at the same level as "Ar Tonelico" because it's a location from the game, besides the name of the franchise. So again, let's compare : >The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim 2 english words(3 if you want to include "the"), one roman numeral and one made-up word. >Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell of ar Ciel 2 made up words(Ar, Tonelico and Ooga), 2 english words(Knell and Ciel), 3 if you want to include "of" So it's not that much different. Honestly there are much worse titles out there, so I am surprised that this is the worst video game title you've heard.
>>1075184 >"Skyrim" is not an English word You're obviously ESL. It's a compound word referring to the sky's rim.

>>1056340 >El Shaddai >Big G is never actually present and it's just you, lucifer before rebelling and the archangels stopping the grigori from fucking shit up >Ascension of the Metatron >Enoch never actually becomes metatron I feel robbed, specially when the game is literally unfinished. Although it had cool music and visuals.

This games had such a long title that they decided to shorten the remaster's title, though I feel like it loses some soul because of that.
""""""Final""""""" Fantasy XVI
>>1157203 They named it because they knew people would just call it Raidou
>>1075129 Quality post
>>1156720 This absolutely takes the cake. That team seems to just allow their production codenames to become the final titles, but at least Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy roll off the tongue and give you an idea what you're in for.
>>1156720 Square Enix has multiple games like that that all feel like they are the same game: Maybe just a project or demo. But definitely nothing signification or noteworthy. >Various Daylife >Live a Live >Triangle Strategy >Octopath Traveler And some others I forgot. All of these games except for Octopath 1 sold like utter shit. It's like SE didn't even want to sell them or do the are minimum to make them sound interesting.
>>1159276 Also need to add >The Diofield Chronicle I will literally never ever play any of these games and it's literally just because of these names
>>1159397 it's not just the names that are bad, the games are so fucking dryyyyyy. so much effort obviously went into the hand-drawn aesthetic and yet it's so insufferably boring on purpose, i don't get it.

>>1159276 Not every game has to sell 6 billion copies anon, those were smaller scale games and sold decently for the effort put in them. Square has been doing like shit the past few years and Team Asano would've been shitcanned or shoved to the gacha-mines if they weren't pulling their weight.
>>1159593 bravely default was an exception, those games were actually interesting and felt fun and imaginative. the other wordsalad title games have the same illustration and title-font but feel like game of thrones synopses
>>1061040 another one of the censored titles of All4One was Fourplay A Crack in Time was going to be called Clock Blockers
>>1159762 >none for rift apart sadly >Ratchet and Clank: Swapping Split >Ratchet and Clank: Cross-gressors >Ratchet and Clank: Allterminate Living >Ratchet and Clank: Mutual Action >Ratchet and Clank: Tightly Packaged Fox Ass Good God I Want To Pound That Shorty Minx So Bad
>>1160682 Where are these names from?
>>1160734 i just made them up lol
I love G String. The name makes everyone think it's a porn game, and not a dystopic standalone half life mod. Absolutely everyone assumes at first that it's just a porn game. It has sexual themes but definitely nothing that you're supposed to beat off to. It used to be difficult to even google search without just getting actual g strings but it's improved.
