T-Pac | 7,588 Graphics Team · Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 This week I learned that there's a game called "Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion", and I think that's hilarious. -CasualCart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wongojack | 221 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Here's some that I don't think are all that great: 3DO - D - and because I had never heard of that game at the time - Dreamcast D2. Neither title does anything at all to give you a clue about what the game actually is. Say what you want about "Resident Evil" being too on the nose or stupid (at least compared to Biohazard), but it does give you a clue about what the game is. X-Men Origins: Wolverine - a title so shockingly bland that it is usually accompanied by "the video game" in parentheses to let you know what it is. Thankfully the "Uncaged Edition" came along and gave us some differentiation. The real cherry on top is that this game is kind of awesome. It was my favorite super hero adaptation until the Arkham games, and it still might be the greatest movie adaptation ever. Finally here's one that should be bad but is actually awesome Leather Goddesses of Phobos - How do you convince your audience that playing text adventures isn't a waste of their time and that they STILL don't need graphics to enjoy themselves in front of a computer? You conjure up the image of aliens in leather, that's how. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,434 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 God of War (2018) Doom (2016) It's ridiculous that we have to specify years or platforms when talking about extremely popular games because they reused a title for a sequel. God of War isn't remotely a reboot is it? It's just a sequel to GOW3. So dumb. Special mention to Punch Out for making the Punch Out chronology: Punch-Out!! (1984) -> Super Punch-Out!!

And furthermore if you look at the years, it goes from (same)1, to 3, then 7, then 15, so around 2039-2040 we should get another Super Punch-Out!! I can't wait!

Red | 439 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 There are plenty of Japanese games that have English titles that don't sound quite right, but Out Live - Be Eliminate Yesterday is one of my favorites. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom and God of War are especially egregious because both the original and reboots are very popular. If I say "The Lion King", no one on earth is going to thing I mean the new one.

They really changed up the way that the game flows and how you fight. So much so that I was put off the game quite a bit when I started playing and had to go back much later. The story is a sequel, but the gameplay is not. Still think it is a weird choice of title for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually looked funny to me, but I never got it. I told my wife about SkateBIRD. She's starting a bad trend of recommending I buy cheap DLC games and then get the physical if I like it. I'm not sure what's happened to her but I'm for it. I'd pick up Turnip boy on DLC now if I hadn't just downloaded SkateBIRD 2 hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
