And I still think Divine Divinity has a nice ring to it.

Bringing the term "God complex " to retarded new heights, this recent RPG's titular redundancy is truly unholy.

They missed an opportunity. They could have said it is wholly unholy.


The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?

I think DD deserves to be FAR higher up the list than that! Fantastic game, but what a name! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

That said, I think it's beaten out by the forthcoming Call Of Juarez. Whatever the game is like, can it ever get past that truly ridiculous name? For a Western themed game yet...

The really sad thing (aside from DD, which I think is a great name)is that so many ppl actually contributed to this website of useless information <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

And yes please, dear L_R let us know about those silly names (prays that she will exclude Mea Culpa) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

i thought that the Larians wanted divinity: Sword of choas
as origional title.

Something like that, yes. The very first title was The Lady, the Mage and the Knight (which was not situated in the Larian-created world of Rivellon).

The original name for DD was 'Divinity: Sword of Lies'.

LMK was a different game, unfinished and unreleased since the publisher went out of business and took the rights to the game with them. In the DD imp/wasp garden there were three graves (of a lady, mage and knight) all killed by MC Hammer, in memorial to that.

Hmm Dragon Wang and touch dic are also games that aren't there, theres a bunch of them with weirder names than DD, Also Divine imo is better than Divinity, Is Riftrunner the game for Beyond divinity in other countries, because I think thats actually a worse name than divine divinity

Riftrunner was the original name for Beyond Divinity.... it was changed to the latter, because most people wouldnt have realised that Riftrunner was a sequal to Div Div

Here's a couple bad game names:

Dance Dance Revolution
Guitar Hero

The only good thing about those names is that theya re indicitive of how bad the games actually are.
