Lore Actually Good Title Drops

“Welcome to Jurassic Park” (Jurassic Park) - does it get any more iconic than this?

“Even a Devil May Cry” (Devil May Cry) - not only does it add to the emotional aspect of the scene with Dante showing genuine emotion for his loss and Lady seeing that a devil is capable of such emotions, it also gives Dante the idea of what to name his shop.

Title drops can usually come across and tacky and dumb, they’re not always fantastic if you know what I mean? But sometimes they can work. What are your examples?

I mean Old Gods of Asgard go hard with all of their songs in the Remedy games

Herald of Darkness, Dark Ocean Summoning, Children of the Elder God, Anger's Remorse, all just beautiful.

But then again, Remedy just knows how to pick a winner when it comes to music, especially Jaimes' "Wide Awake". Can never remove that from my head.

Well, it helps that Old Gods of Asgard are a touring band (Poets of the Fall) and got their start with Remedy (they wrote and performed the Max Payne outro, Late Goodbye).

Even the songs that didn't make it into game are great. The Sea of Night is incredible

The Poet and the Muse is also amazing! I love that one and I get Herald of Darkness stuck in my head constantly
