You know, the ones that make you go "WTF were they thinking?" or "WTF does that even mean?"

Titles like Infinite Undiscovery. I mean, they even made a word up for it! It literally makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but of course, people will lap it up like Square-Enix's lapdogs.

Okami.

NO BUYS.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep

I don't get it. How can that possibly relate to anything in any game ever? Utterly baffling.

Too Human.

What? It doesn't seem to have anything whatsoever to do with the game's content.

That Tingle game *looks up*

Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupee Land


Seriously, what were they thinking?

Yes it does, Baldur has far less cybernetic enhancements than the other 'gods' and is thus considered too human.

Infinite Undiscovery

WTF?

Vagrant Story - always made me think of a tramp drunk on gin swearing in the gutter.

I always read it as 'Discovery'

Damn you!

Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie

It's just too long and obvious.

Really? Infinite Undiscovery is where you're taking a stand?

What about Legendary: The Box?
The utterly meaningless FEAR: Orpheus Mandate?
Or F.E.A.R itself, and other stupid backronyms.
Melty Blood: Act Cadenza?
OneChanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers?

I remember the cartoon!

To be honest all you really need to do is look at any Japanese release schedule or sales charting.

...

Valkyria Chronicles seems to be another offender. I've had a skim through the Wiki entry for the game and there appears to be no reference to any "Valkyria" of any kind in the game which might be chronicled... which makes me wonder what the point of it is.

Okami's not a made up word, it's Japanese for 'wolf'. It fits, what with you playing a wolf, and what with the game being an amalgam of several Japanese folk tales.

As for daft names, I'd like to mention all those crap soldier based FPSs. What was that one a while ago, Alpha Black Zero: Intrepid Protocol. That is bad.

Ivan Ironman Stewarts Super Offroad Racer..... seriously? (Good game though)
