Patrik Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I was actually wondering why is it still called GTA (Grand Theft Auto) even if it's not really based on stealing cars, the game series got this name because that's what it was supposed to be based on, but due to some bug, the game took another path to what we see it on these days, but the name was never changed (except that it was called Race n' Chace before GTA). Do you think that any of the current existing games/series have a name that don't really fit with it?

m76 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 You still steal more cars in gta than in any other game. So I think the name fits very well. When I think about weird names, I think about series like Star Wars Dark Forces, Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, which would make the third game called Star Wars Dark Forces III: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast LOL killamch89 and Family sedan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I was always bugged by Mortal Kombat. Not everyone in the game is a mortal. When you throw gods into the mix, it ceases to be a tournament in which mortals fight for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 GTA is not weired, it means what the game says 🙂 Think baout it, how many times have you steal a car on GTA online? countless times. Names that are weired are games that are cheap and just pointless and you think what the flip. Shower with your dad, BAD and the name makes people say what. Wanker sim, Not even a joke I say bad sim names are based on sex and adult based content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family sedan Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Or straying from the topic of gaming, SyFi shows Gone in 60 Seconds sometimes. How is that Sci Fi? Real people have stolen cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real people have stolen cars. I think it's a lot of the stunts that would be science fiction, and people surviving a lot of it. Also, the Sci-Fi channel isn't strictly limited to stereotypical science fiction. They show all sorts of stuff. Including documentaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yeah, I mean besides Comedy Central and maybe Food Network, what cable channels have remained true to who they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Parappa the Rapper is such a weird name for a video game. In the first place, who names a character Parappa? Not to mention the game was so flipping weird and the rhymes were pretty corny if I'm being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yeah but some are intentionally corny. I mean look at MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. A lot of their songs were so corny, the only thing left to the listener was to wonder who's garden they picked them from. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think that the name GTA fits the game perfectly, I don't really know any other name for it that would have been better than GTA.
