To be fair I do agree that subtitles are usually cooler than merely numbers. I too prefer a good subtitle. However the idea that numbers too high are "silly" is strange to me, if they do numbers I don't care if at one point they reach 17 or whatever.

Come to think of it, how do you feel about a name like 'SimCity 3000'?

It has to do with the idea of making cities in the year 3000 right? That is like a subtitle versus it being say the 3000th game.

 

Well, no, you're just making regular present day cities.

I actually don't know why they did it but they just named the second and third games '2000' and '3000' respectively, while they settled with simply '4' for the next, and last, game.
