In your opinion, what video games have terrible names?

Just Cause. I actually like the series as a kind of brain-off game, but I always read the name as "just cuz".

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

that sounds like a parody wuxia move

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.

Halo Infinite. Numbers are for mainline games. Subtitles are for spinoffs.

Infinite is a great name if the game is good enough to be something like Team Fortress or Counter Strike. A game that'll be played for decades.

Here's the online game, and here are the solo games. That would have been great... if the studio could make good games.

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.

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