Does anyone else hate the name "Elite Dangerous"?

[cheekibreekisuka]

I would like to name it Elite:Cheaters

 

[Zieman]

Can I type E yet without it turning into a smiley? That was my only bemused issue.

Yes you can, but its a faff.

[noparse]E:D[/noparse]

E:D

Oh wait. Disable smilies? E

No need to disable smilies or use the [noparse] tags.
Just put a space in before the D, just like there is in the full name.
Elite: Dangerous
E: D

I don't hate it, but it does get people to say "The game is called Elite DANGEROUS!!!!ONE!!!ONE". That's annoying.

This. I hate those people. Not the name of the game itself. Just the people using it to make an oh so witty and original snarky remark to anybody complaining about issues in the game.

It's paving the way for the sequels Elite: Deadly and Elite: Elite.

 

[Jigster]

Why not "Super Funtime"?
"Awsome Adventure", "Perfect Wonderfulness"?
Elite Dangerous?! Come on...

Elite Four is nice and easy but sadly appears to be Pokemon related and possibly trademarked.

 

[Brieus]

Elite II: Electric Boogaloo.

 

[cptzipzap]

elite: mostly harmless

 

[Snakebite]

I don't have a problem with the name, apart from the fact that it would have been more appropriate to have called it 'Elite: mostly harmless but there may be the odd griefer here and there...'

New SJW version to be released. Elite: Safe Space

 

[Koen]

In my mind, it is still Elite IV.

 

[GrimThara]

Not a fan of the name I admit, it sounds very ... cheap and childish. But it doesn't bug me so much that I'd hate it, no.

A better name could have been used but... what's done is done.

 

[Traven Mayhem]

introducting the rebranded trinity of elite.

Elite: LALALALALA!
Elite: No Homers Club

&

Elite: Greifer Edition

 

[Deleted member 38366]

Although it sounded a tad cheesy when I first heard it... I think it's an okay name.

 

[Kant]

Never been a fan of it. Elite IV would have been better.

Seems it is not alone. www.elitedeadly.com

 

[CMDR Reza Malin]

Why not "Super Funtime"?

"Awsome Adventure", "Perfect Wonderfulness"?

Elite Dangerous?! Come on...

I do, i find the title misleading.

A better game title might be "Elite: Dangerous Docking".

 

[aRtFuL]

It is a bad name but Elites are indeed pretty freakin' dangerous though

 

[Daeron]

It might not be the most optimal choice for the new people, all things considered. But I guess we will have to live with it now. Which is much better than dying, in the end.

 

[Bruce Warren]

I wouldn't have minded "Elite Deadly", but wouldn't make that make all the players who were merely Competent feel like underachievers ?

No not personally. I hate the name Deirdre but I have no idea why. If they had called it Elite Deirdre I'd have a problem.

I see your Deirdre and raise you a Penelope.
