There are probably worse names like Infinite Undiscovery.

But I can tell you Ku: shroud of the morrigan is a shitty game.
which reminds me, divine divinity is also tremendously stupid, what the hell where they thinking

like, at least infinite undiscovery is japanese

fu** i tested both before the raffle.
Hemi-PoweredDrone works yours?

You can't test duplicate keys short of activating the game for yourself or another user (which isn't really a test as the key has then been used) as Steam prioritises "You already own this game" over "Duplicate product code". What you can do, though, if you think you've used a key, is go through the account retrieval process and input the key there -- if you don't get an e-mail, then the key hasn't been used. The annoying part is that said form doesn't verify the key, so you have make super-duper sure the characters precisely correct and that there are no spaces.

The CEO of the original publisher was a fan of alliteration and forced Larian to change the title from Divinity: The Sword of Lies to its current title Divine Divinity.
 
I dunno, I can think of some dumber video game titles. Most of the Kingdom Hearts spin offs come to mind, for instance :p

So does the classic gem known as Touch Dic.

I'm tempted to say this one because it makes me cringe every time I read it.

It's tagline was "If you think this game is boring, you are boring."

It actually got really weird reviews, I remember Game Informer and others game it 1s while GamePro and a few others gave it 4/5.

shovel knight's updates are so disappointing cos all i can think of is playing as the bosses and that shield lady and they just keep on making improvements to the main game and supporting new platforms

those bastards

The CEO of the original publisher was a fan of alliteration and forced Larian to change the title from Divinity: The Sword of Lies to it's current title Divine Divinity.
oh didn't know there was a story behind it

that's actually pretty interesting

i guess it worked out since iirc divine divinity was pretty successful?

i thought that a "You already own this game" means is a valid key or say that even if is already redeemed?

You only get the dupe error if the key is tied to a game you don't own and it has already been used. I wish Valve would swap the two errors around or even just combine them in cases where they're both applicable.
 
Activate on Steam and start pre-loading. Good Luck:)

That's pretty funny. I mean, the least they could have done was something that made no since like, I don't know, Divinity Divide or Divine Divergence or something. Divine Divinty is just silly.

speaking of divinity i'm really disappointed with how few mods there are for original sin

game looks like it could reach crazy greatness with some modding

The most cringeworthy title I can think of is probably "Big Mutha Truckers 2: Truck Me Harder." What a terrible title.

The undisputed king of awful game titles is still Infinite Undiscovery.


I see people say this is a bad name but why?

The daodejing teaches us that we must unlearn what we have learned.. this is what is meant by undiscovery. to experience this infinitely is the path to enlightenment...
 
well guys, its about to be 12am, I'm gonna go catch some sleep. I'll see you guys tomorrow. hopefully if there is a Halloween sale there something that catches my interest.

It's 13 hours away. The Halloween Sale just replaces the usual Weekend Deal setup.

In the sense that Larian was able to find a publisher and continue making games, yes it was a moderate success. Beyond Divinity the follow up to Divine Divinity was a rushed title that was forced out of the door to save the company from closure. But since they launched their own digital distribution service, and put their game catalog on third party services like Steam they have had a much stabler financial situation. Divinity: Dragon Commander and Divinity: Original Sin which came after the service are the two titles that have had less publisher meddling and more developer freedom to innovate.

Sales numbers aside, Divine Divinity is also well regarded if standing in the shadow of Black Isle and early Bioware titles.

That's pretty funny. I mean, the least they could have done was something that made no since like, I don't know, Divinity Divide or Divine Divergence or something. Divine Divinty is just silly.

The head of Larian, Swen Vincke, didn't go into much detail of the events, but I imagine the CEO of the publisher had final say over the exact name.

Man trying to ask people over the Halloween thread spook up an avatar for me is hard. Not hit yet. :/ only 1 more day.

I think Yakkue has been nice enough to make avatars for other members. If you see her around, you might be able to ask her.
