one of my least favorite game naming schemes:
- Game (2018)
- Game: Subtitle (2021)
- Game 2 (2025)
DON’T NAME YOUR THIRD FUCKING GAME IN A SERIES “GAME 2” YOU FUCKERS. THAT’S NOT WHAT 2 MEANS
I mean, it’s better than:
- Game (1993)
- Game II (1994)
- Final Game (1996)
- Game 3 (2004)
- Game (2016)
- Game Forever (2019)
- Game: Subtitle (2025)
but just about everything is better than that.
Special shout out to the nonsense that is:
- Game (1987)
- Game II (1988)
- Game III (1990)
- Game IV (1991, released as Game II in North America, later renumbered)
- Game V (1992)
- Game VI (1994, released as Game III in North America, later renumbered)
- Game VII (1997)
- Game VIII (1999)
- Game IX (2000)
- Game X (2001)
- Game XI (2002)
- Game X-2 (2003)
- Game XII (2006)
- Game XII: Subtitle (2006)
- Other Name: Game VII (2007)
- Game IV: Subtitle (2008)
- Game XIII (2009)
- Game XIV (2010)
- Game XIII-2 (2011)
- Game XIV (2013, yeah again. It’s a different game)
- Person Returns: Game XIII (2013)
- Game XV (2016)
- Game XII: Subtitle (2017)
- Game VII: Remake (2020)
- Game XVI (2023)
- Game VII Another Word (2024, more of the remake)
In this post, for those uninformed:
- Subnautica, Okami, Insomniac’s Spider-Man, others
- Doom
- Final Fantasy
What’s the record for how many games it takes for an actual 2 to show up in the name?
I think it may be:
Game
Discs of Game
Deadly Discs
Adventures of Game
Solar Sailer
Game 2.0
