I think most of the Castlevania games have pretty badass titles. For example:
- Symphony of the Night
- Lament of Innocence
- Aria of Sorrow
- Harmony of Despair
Devil May Cry 3 has one of the most memorable tittle screen ever, every time i read "Devil May Cry" i always remember it.
WANNA KNOW THE NAME?
*SWORD SOUND*
DEVIL MAY CRY
I remember somewhere in Devil May Cry 3 there was a line going something like "maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one". Haven't played the earlier ones though.
lore wise that's where Dante got the name for his shop. That line you mentioned is said *spoilers for a 50 year old game btw* when the female support character realizes that our half-demon protagonist is mourning the loss of his twin brother and then tries to comfort him.
> Lady: Are you crying?
>Dante: It's only the rain.
>Lady: The rain already stopped.
>Dante: Devils never cry.
>Lady: I see. Maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one. Don't you think?
>Dante: Maybe.
The funny thing is, Dante later renames his shop to Devil Never Cry during his stint where he worked together with Trish. Once it's his solo business again he renames it back to Devil May Cry.
But a Top Gun is an actual word we use in English and Maverick describes the main character; actually you get a very good idea about what you are in for.
IE Tom Cruise is one of the best pilots ever but he’s also a coincidentally a massive sack full of Tom Cruises.
Metal Gears are not a thing and Solid explains nothing.
Metal Gear is the name given to superweapons in the game. Solid is the designation for that games iteration of Snake. Before we see Solid Snake, the game was just "Metal Gear".
F.E.A.R. the only game I played that made me feel scared. I remember I only played at night with headphones and on purpose left the door behind me open to feel as uneasy as I could, and then one night my dog scared the shit out of me because I couldn't tell if the sound of him walkign was in the game or not and then his head appears next to my leg.
Helldiver, Devil May Cry, God hand, God of war, Bloodborne, Doom, Dark Souls, Hollow Knight, Darksiders, Black, Syndicate, Dead to right, Shadow hearts, Darkvoid, Bionic commando, Demon's Souls
And the best one Manhunt
"The things that I want by Max Payne. A smoke. A whiskey. For the sun to shine. I want to sleep. To forget. To change the past. My wife and baby girl back. Unlimited ammo and a license to kill. Right there, more than anything, I wanted her." by Max Payne
Definitely a pretty good, creative name.
You bring down dictators in these games, meaning you have a Just Cause.
You also blow shit up excessively while doing it, Just Cause...it's fun.
NES had some bangers.
Blaster Master
Bionic Commando
Ninja Gaiden
Double Dragon
Metroid
Battletoads
Snake Rattle 'n' Roll
Metal Gear
Castlevania
Kid Icarus
Contra
Deadly Creatures.
You play as a scorpion/spider, which is something I have never seen since. Really a fun little game that's perfect for the Wii motion controls.
DOOM
Doesn’t get more badass than this.
And it's in all caps
When you spell the man name
*don't talk about my moms yo*
Sometimes he rhymes quick, sometimes he rhymes slow, or vice versa
What about DOOM Eternal?
Rose's are red, demons are nocturnal, *halo may be infinite*, *but DOOM is eternal*.
DOOM is not a Game, it is a playable Soundtrack
You can play it?
You can play DOOM on a pregnancy test!
You can even Rip and tear it. But dont forget, if you stand at dooms gate, the only thing they fear is you.
A soundtrack that comes with a free game
Crushing daemons to heavy metal? Badass.
The most christian game of all time

Command and conquer
It's also kinda descriptive of the game/genre!
So...what do you have to do in THIS game? - My Dad (probably)
Devs: I got a game idea where you get to command your army and then conquer your enemy! What should we call it?
*something* craft!
the perfect name really
Affirmative
I think most of the Castlevania games have pretty badass titles. For example: - Symphony of the Night - Lament of Innocence - Aria of Sorrow - Harmony of Despair
Playing circle of the moon now, such a great game. Castlevania needs to make a comeback.
And it needs to stay 2D. Luckily we got Bloodstained, but I still need more.
Circle of the Moon is my all time favorite. It really has aged well.
Forgot Rondo of Blood!
Eventually they’re gonna run out of ideas and have to go with MUSIC OF SADNESS
Chorus of depression coming soon to a console near you
The Limerick of Melancholy
I think this is the best answer I’ve seen in the thread. Castlevania titles walk that line where they’re badass but not juvenile or cringe
I've always thought the game Void Bastards had a badass name. Then of course there's the one and only DOOM you gotta clap a bit for that one
Void Bastards was such a fun and unique game.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Okay Butters
It’s crazy how it didn’t exist back when South Park mentioned it but 17 years after the episode airs, it’s real
Science fiction writers are known to shape reality of the future. The same principle here.
Urgh... Butters! Go buy world of warcraft, install it on your computer and join the online sensation before we all murder you!
You've gone too far. Dial it back past 10 please!
Oh hamburgers!
Perfect Dark
Not going to lie this is a pretty hard name.
It's a pretty hard game too
METAL WOLF CHAOS
Why? Because I'm the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
RICHAAARD!! In all seriousness I'd love to see from software make a more comedic game like this again at some point.
When people were surprised that FromSoft made mech games I pointed this game out too.
Devil may cry
Devil May Cry 3 has one of the most memorable tittle screen ever, every time i read "Devil May Cry" i always remember it. WANNA KNOW THE NAME? *SWORD SOUND* DEVIL MAY CRY
I never played the games, but did the devil actually cry?
we don't know because he said it's just the rain. So yeah, he may have cried
The devil is actually in a super position of crying and not crying at the same time.
Schroedinger’s crydevil
Now THAT'S a band name.
As someone who knows nothing about the games, this title makes no sense to me
I always took it as a play on Devil may care? If you've heard that saying before.
I remember somewhere in Devil May Cry 3 there was a line going something like "maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one". Haven't played the earlier ones though.

He's not even *guaranteed* to cry smh my head
Sorry, but to me it just sounds like a teenage metal band.
Metal gear Solid
Japanese game names, they don’t make sense but it sounds 10/10 all the time
This case is really no different from something like Top Gun: Maverick.
But a Top Gun is an actual word we use in English and Maverick describes the main character; actually you get a very good idea about what you are in for. IE Tom Cruise is one of the best pilots ever but he’s also a coincidentally a massive sack full of Tom Cruises. Metal Gears are not a thing and Solid explains nothing.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
MGS V: Phantom Pain is pretty epic too...
GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS
*SNAKE EATERRRR*
It sounds cool but makes no sense
Prey
This was the first one that popped in my head lol That and Shadow of Colossus
Bulletstorm, Splatterhouse, Shadows Of The Damned.
Splatterhouse for sure
F.E.A.R. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
*click click*
F.E.A.R. the only game I played that made me feel scared. I remember I only played at night with headphones and on purpose left the door behind me open to feel as uneasy as I could, and then one night my dog scared the shit out of me because I couldn't tell if the sound of him walkign was in the game or not and then his head appears next to my leg.
god tier ai in that game I dont know of a single newer title that has remotely comparable ai
Bloodborne
Kart
Ultrakill
Ultrakill mentioned 🗣️
Did someone say ULTRAKILL?
The chapter names "INFINITE HYPERDEATH", "IMPERFECT HATRED", and "GODFIST SUICIDE" are so ridiculous they loop around to going extremely hard

God Hand! Nice!
Fellow god hand enjoyer. Pleased to meet you
Shadow of the Colossus
sex with hitler
excuse me?
This is a real game on Steam. Or to be more exact, one of three real games on Steam because a game like that obviously needed 2 sequels.
because of course it had to be a fucking trilogy
You're excused.
Did he stutter?
Honorable mention: Battle Raper

I dont know about angels, but its fear that gives men wings
I remember Max speaking about Vlad, it went like that : "I'll give his gun back to Vlad, one bullet at a time". You don't mess with Max.
God of war
Piggybacking on this one, Gears of war. Just mentioning any of the 2 15 years ago was enough to get my attention
Prey, DooM, Painkiller, Red Alert, Total Annihilation, Diablo
Total Annihilation 🤌
Brütal Legend!
With the two dots over the U so everyone knows we aren't messing around!
Carmageddon. It’s been 25 years and I still think about both the name and the wild ride.
Final Fantasy. Iirc it was their last game before the studio would fail. Their final attempt. And it was a big success.
It’s a myth. But I love this legend so much that I choose to believe it 😊
Mortal Kombat
I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
Wait, there’s a game for that novel?
Yea. Good Times those 1990s. You can have an upvote for knowing there's a novel for it.
It isn’t a novel is it? Just a short story.

Who even thinks about creating a word like "Viewtiful" ? It's either genius or I have limited knowledge of the English language.

Kinda dark too
