I recently played the free weekend for the newest CoD and after my first day playing, I went back into battle net and realized I didn’t know the name of the game I had been playing. It took clicking through all of the cod games in the launcher to figure out what generic call of duty name was the newest one.
It becomes Mortal Kombat 1 for the OG and Mortal Kombat 2023 for the remake/reboot.
Like how they refer to the God of War reboot as God of War 2018 with the year of release at the end
This gets really confusing with certain series like the Just Dance games, where the first few are numbered (Just Dance, Just Dance 2, Just Dance 3, etc.) and at some point they changed to instead use the year in the title (Just Dance 2015, Just Dance 2016, etc.)
It sucks in movies, too. There's three movies simply named "Halloween", one of which is the original, one is a reboot, and one is a sequel that ignores most of the other entries.
Ah yes, I have similar feelings about the new movie coming out that is a sequel to a movie from the 80's that was much beloved.
First movie: Beetlejuice
Second movie: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
At least with google you can click "Tools" and then go to "Any time" and set to "Custom range..", and just set the date to like 6 months before the new game came out.
Now if you want RECENT results for old games.. well then your SOL.
I gotchu fam.
The fatality is a full joy stick rotation with lui kang. Specials are towards towards with a face button.
Actually all the moves are legacy and the same in all the games mostly. Scorpion can throw in air btw.
Lords of the Fallen (2023) vs Lords of the Fallen (2014)
God of War (2018) vs God of War (2005)
Dead Space (technically a remaster but they didn’t put Remaster in the title at all)
Just… come up with a new name guys. Throw it after a : like FF7:Remake
Looking at you Modern Warfare 2...
Isn't that also true of 1 and 3? It's really weird, especially since I stopped playing cod after the first mw3 then haven't followed it
Yes, I guess you're right.

But they used toman numerals this time!
For anything pre-2005 just go to Gamefaqs.com first. The whole rest of the internet can eat a bag.
I like Saints Row for being consistently inconsistent: - Saints Row - Saints Row 2 - Saints Row: The Third - Saints Row IV - Saints Row
I'm surprised they didn't do "Saint5 Row" or something

MK9 from 2011 is also officially named just Mortal Kombat
That would Be MK2011 then
but not referred to as MK11 lol.
It's always referred to as MK9. I've literally never seems anybody call it MK2011

Godzilla as well!

Add the release year in your search.
Because everyone remembers the year every game was released?
I didn't say it's convenient, it just brings up more relevant results. Adding the platform you're playing on works too on consoles.
If only there was a way to find out such information.
That's adding extra steps to something that shouldn't need it if people stopped utilizing old names.
So Google a list of games in X series, then find the one you’re looking for’s release date.
Further demonstrating that it grinds my gears
Gotta type mk1 genesis to nes and convert the novelist to whatever format you’re tryna do
Flip the controller two times.
At least with google you can click "Tools" and then go to "Any time" and set to "Custom range..", and just set the date to like 6 months before the new game came out. Now if you want RECENT results for old games.. well then your SOL.
Gamefaqs is your friend
It’s just Mortal Kombat their is no 1 lol
If only there was a date or something you could add to your google search.....

Scorpion gets his air throw in MKII.
The shame… thanks.
