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.
>>1056183 PoPoLoCrois Monogatari, no particular reason aside of "PoPoLoCrois" sounding dumb as fuck
Go for it! Goemon: The twinkling journey: The reason I became a dancer
Minetest. They changed it to Luanti just 2 months ago, but it was Minetest for 14 years straight. It communicates 2 things very well, "our game is unfinished" and "our game is such a cheap knockoff".
>>1056192 >Loo auntie Much worse, at least "Minetest" communicates what it is well.

>>1056195 It's something in Finnish which makes it automatically good.
Any one of Celery Emblem's games. But the dev does it on purpose so I'm not sure if it'd count for this.
Unknown 9: Awakening It's so generic the only reason it stands out to me is how oddly gibberish it is. Immortals Fenyx Rising A title so bad I believe the devs said they didn't like it. Originally it was meant be Gods & Monsters, but a copyright complaint was filed by Monster Energy of all groups and they changed it that extremely "Chinese mobile game" title. Wraith: The Oblivion – The Orpheus Device Literally three different titles thrown together.
>>1056213 >Literally three different titles thrown together. Oh that reminds of this abonomination of a name. Devs had to add the first word at publisher's insistence.
>>1056233 Been meaning to play that, what's so bad about it?
>>1056283 >what's so bad about it? The name
>>1056283 He didn't say the game was bad, just the name But the game is comically buggy and broken on modern systems

I love being in Yiik!

I'm afraid I might open a portal to Saturn if I say this game's title.
Why haven't video games adopted light novel naming conventions? Surely this would be to the benefit modern audiences.
>>1056350 THAT TIME I FOUND MY SOULMATE (WHO HAPPENS TO BE A DRAGON) IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR WITH THE EMPIRE! MY BEST FRIENDS ARE A KID DIDDLER, A KID EATER, A KID AND A BALD GUY! BUT FOR SOME REASON MY SISTER WANTS TO BANG ME???
>>1056350 Some did it, i've seem a few they are more common in h-games though.

A masquerade named Vampire got a sequel?
>>1056405 Werewolf the apocalypse is just a godawful game.
>>1056352 >>1056350 I like this idea HOW I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE A SIMPLE DELIVERY JOB BUT THEN I GOT SHOT IN THE HEAD AND BECAME THE SOLE DECIDING FACTOR IN A TERRITORIAL WAR, NOW I WANDER THE MOJAVE

>>1056350 IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A NORMAL DAY AT THE LABORATORY, BUT BECAUSE OF AN EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG, I MUST FEND OFF AN ALIEN INVASION WITH JUST A POWER SUIT AND A CROWBAR, BUT THE MILITARY ALSO WANTS TO KILL ME!!???!? I also appreciated the sequel called THIS WEIRD GUY JUST THREW ME INTO A DYSTOPIAN FUTURE WHERE I MUST FIGHT AN OPPRESSIVE PUPPET REGIME LED BY MY FORMER ADMINISTRATOR WITH MY TRUSTY POWER SUIT AND CROWBAR, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY OLD COLLEAGUE WANTS ME TO BANG HIS DAUGHTER DESPITE THE ALIENS SENDING ME BRAINWAVES THAT GIVE ME ED?!!??!!?

GOT SENT TO A PRISON MINING COLONY AS A LEVEL 1 NOBODY AND MUST NOW DEFEAT SATAN IN ORDER TO ESCAPE, BUT I CAN'T EVEN DEFEAT A BASIC ENEMY And the sequel GOT RESURECTED BY A WIZARD, BUT LOST ALL OF MY EQUIPMENT AND EXPERIENCE! NOW AS A LEVEL 1 ADVENTURER I AM EXPECTED TO DEFEAT ANCIENT DRAGONS IN ORDER TO SAVE THE WORLD, BECAUSE I AM GLD'S CHOSEN WARRIOR, BUT NOBODY BELIEVES MY STORY.
>>1056350 >I Got Summoned To Another World By Mistake Instead of the Demon Lord So I'll Seduce the Villain's Daughter While I Look For a Way Home >The Vampire Lord Saved My Life So I Could Join His Harem, So I'll Steal His Mistresses Instead >I'm Only an NPC But I Rock At Rock Paper Scissors So My Wife Loves Me Anyways >The Rail Baron's Men Killed My Wife and Took My Daughter So Everyone Who Works For Him Is Going to Die
>>1056450 I have no idea which games are these, are these VNs?
>>1056451 Nope. One is related to a VN though.
>>1056455 >One is related to a VN Fate: Grand Order?
>>1056460 >But I Rock At Rock Paper Scissors >Grand Order You serious?

>>1056450 4th one is Outlaws.
>>1056464 Fate/Extra, then
>>1056183 >That's pronounced "three hundred fifty eight over two". You sure it's not "Three five eight days over two"?
>>1056514 Maybe. Which makes the way they wrote it even more retarded.

[][][][][] [][] [][𝑥][][][][][][][] or OOOOO_OO_OxOOOOOOO https://yewtu.be/watch?v=IhOSQZ8oZ14 The title is actually obfuscated but my idiot ass thought that was the game`s actual title
>>1056514 >>1056515 >Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, read "Kingdom Hearts Three-Five-Eight Days over Two >The subtitle 358/2 Days was initially left unexplained until the game released, where it was revealed to refer to the 358 days Roxas spent as an organization member and how Nomura expected the average player to complete the game in 2 days Bravo Nomura. Really a lot of squeenix's games could qualify for this thread, especially out of context: >Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- >Kingdom Hearts χ (greek letter chi, pronounced "key") >Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue >Dissidia Final Fantasy 012(pronounced duodecim, is the prequel to the first game) >Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo >Dungeon Encounters Indies they published: >Scarygirl >Death by Cube >Egg Monster Hero
Obligatory
>>1060519 The only thing I even remember about this game is it had a fun magic system.
>>1060519 This shit had glitches with quests not proceeding. Also fuck bitches were ugly in it. After many years from playing Elex revisiting Two Worlds II and Gothic II made me hate eurojank again (In the last one made archer and he sucked like hell during orc ark, no desire to re-roll, dropped it)
Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland -and- Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love Silly titles for a silly little guy
>>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.
