In your opinion, what video games have terrible names?
I really hate the Xbox system names.
anno.
If you know a little of spanish is just sounds awful
because it’s in Latin (or Italian)…
Hahaha a few come to mind from the NES and SNES era.
“Hey punk! Are you TUFF-E-NUFF?” comes to mind.
Edit: was missing the first part of the title. Thanks for pointing it out! 👍
Hey Punk!
FiST: Forged in Shadow Torch
Such a stupid and contrived name.
The protagonist fight with a big mecha fist though, I don’t think it is that bad of a name?
Yeah but “forged in shadow torch”? Come on.
They wanted to name it fist and went back from there. For that its bad IMO.
Forged in shadows touch
Fight in shallow trenches
Freaks in silly tales
Fist inside Someone’s Tush
Divine Divinity (sorry Larian, but it’s true)
All the names in that series are horrible.
A lot of JRPG’s with weird punctuation and seemingly neverending titles or made-up words.

Drag is personally offended that you don’t like Revengeance. Drag is a big fan of musical theatre and also of turning fascists into confetti.
2017’s Prey
Even worse is that it is a trademark. There was a kickstarter for a game “prey for the gods” which could have gotten a trademark dispute over the usage of the name “prey” from bethesda.
So they changed the name to “praey for the gods” to not have to deal with yearlong legal battle and burn the Kickstarter funds.
And even worse, prey 2017 is actually a good game that should have totally been named Neuroshock or something
