Worst Game/Console Title

[FPLOON]

Anything with an "RE" word subtitle.

You mean like Kingdom Hearts: RE:Chain of Memories or Kingdom Hearts: RE:Coded...

Kingdom Hearts Three Hundred Fifty Eight Divided by Two.

Uh... It's actually pronounced "Kingdom Hearts Three Five Eight Over Two Days"... and even then you're wondering why the title is even pronounced that way upon first impressions...

OT: Time and Eternity... I get what it means (due to playing games with these kind of titles), but it's not that mysterious of a game, title...

Assassin's Creed: Revelations. The game with zero overall story progression (The main character is literally in a coma the whole game), was called Revelations? What the hell.

It's the Revelation to Ezio that he has merely been a messenger
It's the Revelation to Desmond what happened to the first civilization and where he needs to go next

But then again, if they'd paid attention earlier, both these points had already been addressed in Assassin's Creed II. Not really earth

I think it was meant to be focused on Altair, and revelations of what happened to him after Assassins Creed 1... So basically fan service for everyone that felt he was more badass and cool.

It was kind of disappointing though. I happened to see on the wiki that he marries the Templar impersonating the grandmaster late in the first game. I was hoping for some interesting development there but, they just skip right past that and focus on boring internal strife with the guild.

-----------------------------

As for bad game names, I'd have to go with Deus Ex. It's my favorite game, but any time you tell someone about it they think you're saying day sex, gay sex, do sex, deuce sex, douche s- you get the idea...

Demon's Souls.

Doesn't look to bad when its written down, but it's awkward as fuck to pronounce.

 

[Snotnarok]

VVVVVV is one for sure.

Anything with an "RE" word subtitle. Revelations, Retribution etc. That just says to me "We put no actual thought into this title whatsoever."

Same goes for naming reboots the name of the original game ala Tomb Raider, Sonic the Hedgehog, Prince of Persia, etc.

Beyond: Two Souls is a recent one. Not extremely offensive, but as the TBFP pointed out, you can never just call it Beyond or Two Souls because no one is going to know what you're on about.

I've said before Resident Evil is bad. It's just laughable, not egregiously terrible our anything. It's just backwards and odd.

I agree with pretty much all Wii U games that use U in the title. That's just lazy. Reminds me of the early days of the DS when devs had a weird thing about using DS as an acronym in the subtitle. Although that was kinda clever in a way.

Kingdom Hearts Three Hundred Fifty Eight Divided by Two.

Touch my Katamari

Spec Ops: The Line

Persona 3 FES. Mainly the FES part, which isn't actually an acronym and is supposed to mean festival.

DayZ aka daisy

As a bonus, some of my phonetic favorites include:

Jeanne D'Arc
Killer7
Hotline Miami
Knights in the Nightmare
Enviro-Bear 3000
DOOM
Silent Hill
No More Heroes
Castlevania
Minecraft
Adventure
Animal Crossing
Catherine
Myst

You punk, you beat me to it.
I agree, anything that does the "R" crap, Revelations, Revolution, derp derp derp, because none of the subtitles mean anything to the game, it's just "We didn't want to tack a number on the end because of X reason and decided to slap a cliche subtitle on it."

I've liked games with these subtitles but the meaning isn't there so it just makes for a dumb title.

Though, let me boot up steam:
NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 3 Full Burst
^What the flipping hell!? Caps on, caps off, storm, ninja, burst? 3!?
It couldn't just be called Naruto Storm 3? I won't pretend to know anything about the show, but I can't imagine it requiring such a lengthy and retarded name

 

[Enverex]

Cliffhanger from the 90's on the Amiga. I'm not sour at all....

 

[babinro]

Glorious!
I understand that the title has meaning within the game but as a title it's off putting, disinterested, and difficult to say when trying to talk about it in conversation since there's no flow. The title screams 'marketing challenge'.

Admittedly, I could say the same with games like VVVVVV but this Kingdom Hearts title is always the first that comes to mind.

The winner for the best 'worst game title' is:
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

I can't help but smile or laugh when I read or speak that title aloud. It's a complete 'win' in my book. Absurd, cheesy, familiar yet new.

 

[nyankaty]

Kingdom Hearts: 358 over 2 or whatever. Hands down. There's just no contest in my mind on that one.

 

[Sir Pootis]

DmC: Devil May Cry.
Devil My Cry isn't even in the game.

Spoiler

Such two-faced slander.

Seconded.

Similarly, FTL: Faster Than Light. Great game, stupid title. Why the hell is it abbreviated, only to put the full title in anyway?

 

[JagermanXcell]

Shout out to MGR: Revengeance..thats REVENGE with a VENGANCE..someone actually thought that was clever.

Metal Gear Solid: Revengance is a very stupid name.

The winner for the best 'worst game title' is:
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

I can't help but smile or laugh when I read or speak that title aloud. It's a complete 'win' in my book. Absurd, cheesy, familiar yet new.

Can we agree to disagree that the sequel should have an even stupider name?! Cause I'm so glad to see Revengeance has eaten this thread alive.

 

[Reed Spacer]

Anything with the 'word' xtreme in the title.

Are you too lazy to use a third 'e'? Is there a vowel shortage and you could only get two?

 

[CannibalCorpses]

Infinite Undiscovery. I don't even know what the game is about, but the title is just so baffling that I couldn't not post it.

Nothing wrong with the game...bit harsh for bringing it up as worst ever...action based rpg with some funny cut scenes and a massive end-game section thats pretty damned hard.

I thought we were talking about the worst titles, as in names? Oh, must've misread the intent of the thread. I thought it was about weird sounding names.

Either you did or i did lol...probably the latter.

Still a good game if you like jap RPGs...despite the title

 

[Foolery]

Not to mention the main title itself doesn't make any fucking sense -- Metal. Gear. Solid. Repeat those three words long enough and your brain cells will start disintegrating; throw in the subtitles and progressive mental retardation is guaranteed.

Metal Gear, as in a bipedal walking tank with the ability to launch nuclear weapons that are in most of the games, and Solid is also another way of saying it has 3 dimensions. The original MSX Metal Gear titles were only in 2 dimensions.

My all time favourite bad game is a little remembered gem with a massive hollywood name plastered across it. Apocalypse with Bruce willies. As a young lad of *muffledvoicetohideage* years old that game was a delight for the drunk.

man i loved that game just for the stupid one liners *picks up flamethrower* "do you feel the burn kid?"

 

[aer693]

the worst game ever, hands down is Big Rigs: Over the road racing... Can you believe that i bought that piece of s**t?? The cover made me think that it was a decent game, but i was fooled, like biting a chocolate covered s**t... It said that it was the ultimate Truck Racing game, but oh hell no, the game was unfinished:

Seems while most people are interpreting worst console title to mean game (good or bad) which has the most pathetic names, others are interpreting it as worst overall game. I'm going to go with title thus:

Final Fantasy XIII-2 (yes I know the history of the name, doesn't stop it getting more and more ridiculous with each iteration)
Donkey Kong (But he's not a donkey!)
Continental Circus (racing game with a misspelling of Circuit)

Riding on the awesome/pathetic line, I love the fact that the sequel to Kinectimals is called:

Kinectimals: Now with Bears!

Agree with the poster above who was talking about lazy reboot names, which means that for example the Prince of Persia released in about 2008 is always going to be known as "Prince of Persia: No not the original, you know the cell-shaded one that didn't really feel like a proper Prince of Persia game" (Not that I disliked it mind you). Worse offender is the 2012 Need for Speed Most Wanted game, recycling a title from the SAME generation and not even an obvious reboot. They really could have called it anything.
