Board 8 > The Mount Rushmore of: Stupid Video Game Names

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules

1. You may vote up to 4 entries that fit the prompt.
2. No alts.
3. No deleting or editing posts; though, editing posts shortly after you post is fine.
4. If you change your vote, clearly indicate that you are changing a previous vote. Same for adding or subtracting picks.
5. In general, if there are two picks that can be considered the same product (i.e. Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle), I will combine them.
6. If a vote is vague, I will pick the first available choice that best matches the vote (i.e. "Mario" for Wii Games becomes Super Mario Galaxy).
7. I will post the parameters of each Rushmore topic. Other than that, feel free to vote however you like and based on any criteria that best fits the "Mount Rushmore" of that topic.
8. If a vote doesn't fit the topic, it will count as a blank vote.
9. You may nominate as much as you want and have an unlimited amount of seconds for established nominations.
10. Every Sunday, I'll post the schedule for next week. I will pick based on the number of nominations. Any ties will be determined by RNG.

This one was a bit rough to tally. For the record, most of the "combined" vacation destinations wouldn't have made any difference. Orlando would rank higher than Tokyo, but that's it.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Infinite Undiscovery

holding on to the other 2 for now

2XKO

things like overly long titles and shock/meme value stuff is whatever but i think this is one of the few times i can remember hearing the title of a game and thinking 'yeah this sounds dumb'

Mortal Kombat 1

it is NOT Mortal Kombat 1 get the fuck out of here

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (it's actually supposed to be read as "three-five-eight days over two" for reference

I'll wait for other votes before deciding on the other three

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
VVVVVV

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties

This is a double whammy, as not only is it an awful name for a game, but it shows the plumber wearing a tie in the very first "cutscene"

uhh and i guess

DRIV3R
Project X Zone

feel like i should also mention a Tales game but eh

Bravely Default

Triangle Strategy

i was considering Bravely Default 2 because Bravely Second exists so its also just wrong

but I settled on it not actually being that stupid a name because its a direct reference to the games combat mechanics and not just arbitrary words

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
VVVVVV
2XKO

I'll see about the last.

There are some overly long dumb names mentioned here but I haven't even heard of them.

Touch Dic

Ill think of the rest later

Bravely Default probably doesnt actually deserve to be here but I had to complete the set. Team Asano has stupid names and I never want them to stop.

Not enough Infinite Undiscovery in this topic! "Infinite Discovery" would have been bad enough, but flipping the meaning by creating a fake word made for an exceptionally dumb name.

tactics ogre LUCT is actually a great name wtf

There used to be a very popular one long long ago (before stupid shit like "Summer-Colored High School" 300 words became a popular trend in anime)
But I don't remember it and no one mentioned it yet and now it will haunt me

here to dunk on:

Triangle Strategy

2XKO
Mortal Kombat 1
Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-
Infinite Undiscovery

2XKO is the first game in a while where I heard the name I almost did a spit take.

Lots of amazing game names in this topic but these are probably the four that made me go "why the hell would you call it that?" the most. My initial thought was that I was going to list a Kingdom Hearts and then 3 anime fighters.

(a note on the nom sheet: We already did Nicktoons. However, nominate Cartoon Villains.)

358/2 Days actually makes sense once you play it

My beef is the stupid way it's supposed to be read

If you're gonna vote for any of these ones, you may as well vote for the second game (same title but with a 2 at the end).
