In your opinion, what video games have terrible names?

X4 Foundations. I have probably 500 hours in it and still don't know what it really means. But it's a unique and interesting game.

“Echoes of the Plum Grove”. Sounds like they asked ChatGPT and went with the first suggestion.

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.

Genital Jousting. Its a perfectly fitting name for what the game is. But its deeply unsettling.

It's exactly what the title says it is.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

Yep. Deeply, deeply unsettling.

All of them that are so generic I gotta add "the videogame" to when I'm googling.
