[PlanetSmasher]

Took me until the sequel to realize Just Cause was like, a just cause, and not Just [Be]cause. Wreaking havoc just cuz 🤟

Click to shrink...

The translation to portuguese is: Causa Justa, which is very close to "Calça Justa - Tight pants"

 

[Aero]

Also, I called Blast Corps "Blast Corpse".

I did that as a kid too and it's still my go to name for that game because it sounds way cooler.

 

[MoogleMaestro]

I still don't know whether I should be saying "Dragon Ball Fighterz" or "Dragon Ball Fighter Z" when saying the name out loud.

Wikipedia does not help when the title is listed as "Dragon Ball FighterZ".

 

[Neko_No_Naku]

I just realized it's not Planetscape Torment

Click to shrink...

What the hell how is it not Planetscape?!!?

 

[jotun?]

Full Metal Furies

good game from the Rogue Legacy studio, and has nothing to do with people dressing up as animals

 

[kittens]

Sonic Chaos was how I learned how to spell the word chaos. I pronounced it like "chows" at the store and an employee quickly corrected me, it blew my mind that's how to spell chaos.

Also, I called Blast Corps "Blast Corpse".

Yeah this one got me too

 

[Orion117]

The Sexy Brutale - thought it would be some kind of anime girl action video game.

 

[Turin]

I still pronounce Ocarina of Time as "aw-carina of time" in my head.

 

[Dary]

Was there ever any official word on whether Disgaea was "dis-guy-uh" or (the more accurate) "dis-jee-uh"?

 

[GaimeGuy]

It's not Planetscape :O

 

[Venture]

Until recently I thought Kentucky Route Zero was some kind of corny Hillbilly FPS parody. I think I was getting it confused with Redneck Rampage or something.

 

[404LinkNotFound]

When i was little, I thought Kirby: Super Star Ultra was a Kirby Rhythm game cuz of the boxart and "Super Star" in the title

 

[Zeckett]

The Legend Of Zelda: The Thread

 

[mikhailguy]

all of the japanese games where the "x's" are actually "crosses"

 

[Ryuhza]

When I was a kid, we had long debates about what "RPG" stood for in "Super Mario RPG"

Also, I called Blast Corps "Blast Corpse".

I did the same with Contra: Hard Corps, which completely messes up the pun in the title.

 

[Syysch]

I still don't know whether I should be saying "Dragon Ball Fighterz" or "Dragon Ball Fighter Z" when saying the name out loud.

I remember hearing a couple people say it was supposed to be pronounced as fighters, and they thought that was stupid. I agree.

 

[Trisc]

Also, I called Blast Corps "Blast Corpse".

That's what you'll be if you fumble that nuke.

 

[Zarlant]

I thought Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was pronounced 'The at rhythm'. I still think it's a very clumsy title.

 

[Jakisthe]

I thought Chrono Trigger was an FPS for the longer time, or at least something in the vein of Time Crisis.

 

[DrKelpo]

MGS3: Snake Eater - Thought that it was about the survival aspect of the game before I played it and realized that it's referring to the operation with the same name where Snake has to confront The Cobras.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I never got that until now.
And I have beaten the game multiple times, have platinumed it and consider it my most favorite game ever.

I'm gonna lie down for a bit now...

 

[djinn]

Oh, also, I didn't get the pun in Tails' full name until I said it out-loud maybe 6 years ago. I am 37 years old. For those who don't know, his name is Miles Prower.

[Castamere]

Degrassi 4 The next generation. (disgaea as degrassi)

 

[Bradford]

Was there ever any official word on whether Disgaea was "dis-guy-uh" or (the more accurate) "dis-jee-uh"?

Click to shrink...

It's the first one. The Japanese for it is ディスガイア (disugaia)

 

[Rotobit]

For a solid 10 years I mixed up Odama with Odin's Sphere

to be fair Odama IS a pinball/god game hybrid, so Odin's Sphere is incredibly apt as a name

Also I still call him L.T. Surge in my head and not Lieutenant Surge. TBH it sounds cooler.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I still don't know whether I should be saying "Dragon Ball Fighterz" or "Dragon Ball Fighter Z" when saying the name out loud.

[Leo]

Corps is pronounced like "core".

English is so weird.

 

[sixteen-bit]

When I was a kid, I used to pronounce Castlevania: Bloodlines as "Bloodly-ness".

Click to shrink...

Cleanliness is next to Bloodlines

 

[Skyfireblaze]

I thought The Minish Cap would be a good game because it's Zelda

Spoiler

ain't nothin' here

Click to shrink...

Hey that's the criteria why I bought it as a kid, it's one of my favorite Zelda games :P

 

[Thecrunked]

English is so weird.

Click to shrink...

It's a French word so...

 

[OzBoz]

Also, I called Blast Corps "Blast Corpse".

Don't feel too bad. Obama made this mistake at least twice.

[MerluzaSamus]

I read it as Planetscape Torment for years. Even after playing the damn game
