really? I'll have to listen, since you recommend it!

I'm hoping people think of additional "mispronounced games" to continue the list ^^

OK here's a name of a NES game that probably a lot of you never heard of before.

Xexyz

You say: "X E er... sexy z...uh what the hell!?"
Should be: "Zeks-zees"

Xevious

You say: Eks-eev-eeus
Correct: Zee-veeus

Suikoden

You say: Sooey-koden (believe it or not, I have heard people pronounce it like that)
Correct: Swee-koden

On an earlier one, I always thought that Ninja Gaiden was pronounced "guy-dan" (I blame The Wizard for that, though).

Wait, wait, people mispronounce ephemeral?

Sackboy

Not really a game, but I used to think Eidos was pronounced "E-Dose" until I spoke to one of the officers of the company at my work who told me it's just like "iDos"

I love how you mentioned Faxanadu :love:

I surprisingly knew the correct pronounciation to most of those games, except for Suikoden & Disgaea which I still call "disgaya" :heh:

Eshvoide

Crystalis! ^_^ (NES, Rpg)
- Umm... I say "kris tel is", my friend says "kris thal is".

Faussete Amour (PC Engine, Super CD)

Alias (PS2, Action)

i have absolutely no problem saying the names of the games correctly.
and shenmue, really, how can anyone mispronounce that when THE FUCKING GAME says it?
its like the neverending fight i have in the world at war pre-game lobbies when the next map is makin or makin day, i say "please guys, vote this map cuz i hate ma (as in MAma) kin (pronounced keen)", then this wiseass comes along and says "its (make)in, you dumbfuck"
how can i be wrong when roebuck himself says it IN THE FIRST FUCKING SENTENCE OF THE FIRST FUCKING VIDEO of the fucking campaign? its a japanase word you dumbfucks!
fuck damn it!

Okami (should be "Ookami")
You say: Oh-kah-mee
Should be: (O should be extended) - ka - mee

I still don't know how people can keep getting this wrong. Someone even says the title at the opening screen.

Pisces Knight, chill!

Shenmue
You say: �Shen-moo-eh�

I left this open in the hopes that it might garner more activity in GG.

Yeah, I think weird thoughts like that :erm:

lol i like that smilie but I have never seen it before. Where has it been hiding? Anyways this isn't a game but more of an extra

X-box's new Motion sensor thing (not entirely sure what it is):

NATAL

My friends call it "Nay-tel"

but it is actually pronounced "Na-tal"

Neg
04-22-2010, 08:12 AM
It's pronounced Show-your-genitalia-to-Milo :notgood:

I always said "Not-all" the time Microsoft! :mad:

Neg

"Sony" is pronounced Godhead, iirc.

supdup
04-22-2010, 08:18 AM
And Playstation is pronounced "Mega-Awesome-Sex-God-Of-The-Console-World-Forever"...people seem to forget that

Neg

I used to be told to stop "Jr. Modding," so I can't really tell you not to do it, CC.

Keep on fighting the good fight, or something.

Ys
You say: “Wise, Yeez, Y.S., Yis”
Should be: “Ease”

Not quite true. It's a hard S sound. Rhymes with "peace," not "peas."


Ehrgeiz
You say: “Ur-guys, Air geez”
Should be: “Air-guys”


Also not quite on the money. "Air-guyts." Would rhyme with "bear bites."

im flattered people asked for me, thank you.

reasons why i was absent:

1. again, i lost the name of the site, had to reboot pc so all my favorites went missing.
2. college is an ass
3. i had a job once, its gone now

I was actually able to pronounce those games that I haven't heard of , correctly. I was shocked about Atelier Iris, I've always said it like A-tale-er Iris.

Olde

Okay, I was wondering where the stressed syllable goes to Dissidia. Is it pronounced 1. Di-SID-ia, or 2. DIS-i-DI-a?

ROKUSHO
09-06-2010, 09:29 AM
i think you just need a mute S, anyway i say it DI ( DEE) SI (as in SIT) DIA (diaz, a spanish surname, like ricardo diaz, the guy in gta vice city)
