I fucking hate that. Its absolutely stupid.

Its a dead number system for a reason people!!!

Makes no sense.

Use the standard numbers for the language its written in.

I swear to god, if I could make a law that forced this I would.

Pretty soon we'll see God of War XXXIVVIQWTF.

GoW3 logo wouldn't like as nice with a 3.
People aren't complaining and there's been a lot of final fantasy and dragon quests.

It's not a big deal, I suppose if their is a reason it's probably the look, people like it I guess.

Mortal Kombat pulled it of nicely as do tons of other franchises.

Also, why did you write it "GoW3" instead of "GoWIII"

It look stupid and inefficient. Otherwise, why are you called "yo_john117" instead of "yo_johnCXVII"?

I think we should live in a world where people are allowed to use whatever font/language they please.
