Origins is definitely the most overused one. There's about a 50% chance a prequel will have the word in the title somewhere. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ... Copied to Clipboard!

I voted for "Returns" because it feels the laziest to me. Instead of calling it "___ 2: [Actually interesting subtitle]" they just do "___ Returns" which just advertises the character/series. "Origins" at least says that it's an origin story, which says more regarding what it's about than "Returns" does. And I'm merely speaking from a titular perspective, not about the quality of product. --- BlueCrystalTear | You're living your own life. You're you. #FearTheDeer | ((FREE HUGS)) ...

"Resurrection" is a good one, yeah, because it describes literally nothing. It's just such a generic "We made another one."

Xbox, 360, that was fine, but then One, the semi-upgrade One X, and finally the Series X and S, which are to be collectively called... Xbox. As much of a sequential nightmare as it is, I think it still works from a marketing standpoint, since they're unique. It's very hard to mess up if your kid asks for an "Xbox One," or an "Xbox Series X," since they're distinct names. It's not like the "Wii U," which directly followed the "Wii" and confused people all around. Sequential naming nightmare? Absolutely. Marketing nightmare? Not so much. I don't really count "One X" as an issue, since that's no different than "PS4 Pro" and the like. It's ultimately the same console. Which, at the end of the day, made "Wii U" even worse. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Iirc Rayman Origins was planned as like the origin of Rayman/Globox's friendship and virtually all the plot was ultimately scrapped, but they kept the title The villain However, I still accept Origins as a title because it's a return to 2D and some of the worlds/enemies/level design are a clear reference to the first Rayman game, though massively updated and improved. --- Not to be confused with XIII_minerals. ...
