Stupid game Titles

CptStern · Jul 16, 2004

just found a japanese game called Melty Blood: Act Cadenza ....hehehe "Melty Blood"

I guess it's due to bad translation but a lot of japanese games have horrible names

what are some of the worst game titles you've ever come across

LittleB · Jul 16, 2004

Quake.... They should have given it a name more like what it's about.. Like "Doom" or something... -oh wait

lePobz · Jul 16, 2004

Team Fortress Classic.... It must be the most non-team-based game i've ever seen... I'd have called it 'Every-red-and-blue-man-for-himself Fortress Classic'

Dax · Jul 16, 2004

Almost anything with sport titles, e.g.
"World Soccer Winning Eleven 6 Final Evolution"

And whole sentences, like "Princess Tomato In The Salad Kingdom", and "Bad Dudes vs. Ninja Dragon"

and anything with "The legend of <insert name or object here>"

also, not to mention the upcoming FPS/RPG "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: (now) Shadow of Chernobyl" but it used to be Stalker: Oblivion Lost. Wtf does that mean? Wouldn't it sound better with "Lost in Oblivion" or something?!

oh and...."Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater

"You are Empty"

Melty Blood is an awesome name, and it actually isn't due to bad translation, it's the real name.

Anyway, some bad names are:

-S.C.A.T : Special Cybernetic Attack Team
-VF: Gowcaizer
-TOKON: MATRIMELEE

edit: oh yeah
-Choaniki - translated it basically means "Big Gay Brother"

I really don't know, it must just be a catchy title that the developers liked...

"Zombies ate my neighbors"
I actually LOVE the game. It's a classic in my book, but the name is so corny (which fits perfectly actually). It's one of the best worst titles I've heard

"Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater"
Oh what in the name of god were they smoking when they came up with that little gem.

Any game starting with the word “operation' and ending with some ambiguous codeword always gets a place in my little book of awful names as well.

Or 'project' , thats even worse :x

Half-Life...do they mean the halflife of radioactive material or do Gordon only have a half life left?

Creator Hideo Kojima is trying to give a cry for help with all of his Metal Gear Solid Games. He want's help for his hallucinogenic drug addiction. Take Metal Gear Solid: AC!D for example.

And wtf? Liquids HAND talking to snake through ocelot? Ohh Kojima... trying to do every possible drug at once isn't the answer.

tetris.

that is the most random name ever. like a bunch of game execs are sitting in a conference room tossing up names
"blocky blocks? no..."
"shape flip? no..."
"TETRIS!!"

seriously, wtf.

Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix

No, Soldier of Fortune, you are not clever just because you can name-drop some biological terms you learned in science class. Now go and sit in the corner, Mullins.

Sorry to piss on your strawberries, Redundant, but I believe Tetris is a Russian word. The guy who invented it was a Soviet.

I'm so glad I didn't directly type that name into Google Image search but first into regular Google to find out what it meant

H.A.R.M.S way
Contract J.A.C.K.
F.E.A.R

Monolith should hire a "professional title maker".

el Chi · Jul 17, 2004

I dunno - H.A.R.M. was never supposed to be serious. They even poked fun at it a little in NOLF 1 where they said: "We know very little about this organisation. We're not even sure what H.A.R.M. stands for."
Besides, Cate Archer's organisation was called U.N.I.T.Y. which of course stands for... Erm... United Nations Intelligenge and Team Yoghurt.

Actually tetra means four and each of the little shapes has four bolcks in it

Burger Time was a great title for that old NES classic. It was such an addicting game, and my friend has it on his cell phone. What else would they call a game where you create large burgers and avoid angry hot dogs and eggs.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater fits for a few reasons:

Not only do you have to hunt and eat animals (including snakes) to regain stamina and/or health, but Snake Eater shows the change in Snake himself as he progresses towards the identity of Big Boss. Thus, it's as if Big Boss is eating away at Snake.

Yes.

redundant · Jul 18, 2004

OK, it looks like my attempt to bag tetris FAILED.
