Instead of using abbreviations for a numbered game from a series, why not just list an abbreviation for the entire series? Example, instead of MGS4 we could just put MGS, because it includes all the games from that franchise.

 

 

I think is good to keep the numbers because we r talking about actual games that are being named in many threats. you don't talk about MGS2 very much now.

D stands for Diablo. Anyone that is against it clearly doesn't know the greatness of Diablo.

Btw, D2 is Diablo 2, and D3 is Diablo 3. I used D as an abbreviation for the whole franchise.

D3 makes more sense (except for the few who'll confuse it with the publisher), but D alone could also mean...hm...Descent (Descent was my personal D and beats your D any day).

Not adding Diablo. Just no. I know the game is great but for the most part I never see the game abbreviated. Thanks for the effort though.
