In your opinion, what video games have terrible names?
I hate SuperGiant’s naming scheme. Bastion? Transistor? Pyre(i couldn’t even remember this one)?? Hades??? Cmon man, your company isn’t called Giant but SuperGiant, make it stand out as your company’s name!
Also VVVVVV. No one will notice this game if it come out today. Prey(2017) is the prime example of this.
Just Cause. I actually like the series as a kind of brain-off game, but I always read the name as “just cuz”.
I felt like that was the joke
“Why are you smashing a town with two helicopters chained together?”
Octopath Traveler
Octopath Traveler II
Triangle Strategy
Bravely Default is pretty bad too
Pretty fitting name. You have 8 characters and you travel their path with them. Couldn’t be more fitting to be honest.
It sounds extremely weird as a native English speaker. Makes you think of an octopus.
Ubuntu have had some weird-ass names for their titles (Warty Warthog, Edgy Eft, urgh) and the games themselves have been pretty lacklustre.
There was this one level where you had to rearrange icons to the left and it just looked stupid. Unity or something.
Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s not a sequel. Love the game though.
I can’t think of another example where a title with a 2 in it had a story that took place before the first one. The closest I can think of is The Godfather 2 (assuming I’m even remembering right) and that had the prequel parts as flashbacks within a story that took place after the first one.
Kind of an odd one there in that as far as I understand, they were reusing one of their IP’s, Red Dead Revolver. Ironically, I played Red Dead Revolver as a kid, never played RDR2. That said, it’s not like it’s a cohesive universe between the two by any means, so your point still stands.
