Title: Worst video game titles ever?
Post by: noisyturtle on Fri, 06 May 2016, 23:26:39
What games have really stupid or downright terrible names?

With the recent announcement of Battlefield 1 it got me thinking about lazy uncreative ****ty game titles. It's not as bad as say, Warfighter (both redundant AND dumb. Also not a word) but it's pretty ****ing stupid.

And yes I am aware that the game is called Battlefield 1 because it's WWI, but did you hear yourself when you thought that argument out and realize how dumb it still sounds?

Battlefield 1 makes little to no sense.
Just call it Battlefield 1914.

Phalanx.

I just don't get the old-guy-with-the-banjo vibe when playing it.

The new DOOM game has a really bad title too.
False advertising.

EDIT: I guess the game is, however, quite doomed.

I guess they are going for Battlefield 1, since it is World War 1, lots of 1's.


But I agree, they could have had a better title, but the game still looks kewl. I really wanted some kind of World war 1/2 shooter, recently.

Huge Final Fantasy fan, but we're at 15 main numbered titles and more spin-offs, sequels and other games than I could ever count.

There's nothing Final about any of it.

Was thinking about this some months ago:

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

So, it's kind of:

Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

Forked a bit or something.

LIGHTSABERS VHOOOO WOOO SHIIIIISH
