Worst Game/Console Title

[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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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?

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

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.
