You know, I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to come up with a name for my game, but every word combination in the english dictionary already seems used. The mobile sector is eating everything. I can't imagine what game names are going to be like in the future..

As far as RPGs go, nothing beats

Challenge of the Five Realms: Spellbound in the Realm of Whatchacallit.

Trumps everything both in record-breaking length and, despite that, in being mindboggingly generic.

Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?

It was later shortened to avoid clashing with Batman.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Dranor is pretty long name.Also The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II The Rise of the Witch-king is not a small name.

Codex 2014 Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy
Al Lowe has you covered...

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards ( :Reloaded)
Leisure Suit Larry Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places)
Leisure Suit Larry III: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals
Leisure Suit Larry 5: Passionate Patti Does a Little Undercover Work

Then there are a few classic titles:

Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It
Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned
The Amazing Spider-Man and Captain America in Doctor Doom's Revenge

And a couple that are rather dubious in their lengthiness:

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Drannor

The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa ftw
But didn't they sold out to CORPORATE ATTITUDE and changed the name to Barkley 2: Revenge of Cuchulainn to make it easier for the press? :cry:

Stupidest game name ever: Divine Divinity

Redundant Pleonasms of Repetition: The Origins of the Beginning.

The meaning of the title is actually not a redundant pleonasm of repetition in context, since it's supposed to be a sarcastic insult that appears when the protag addresses the spoiled brat child-king "oh divine divinity".

P. dumb as a title, but... it's not as stupid as you'd think. And iirc Larian didn't even have much of a say on it, same as with the horrible endgame areas.
