Google Meta dupe errors

    Ok so i just checked my webmaster console and found about 1000 duplicate title errors. Google bot is mistaking/confusing newer version of game with older version. e.g the old url is
    domain.com/console/game-name-part-1.html with unique meta title Game Name Part 1

    new url is

    domain.com/console/game-name-part-2.html with unique meta title Game Name Part 2

    Now i am wondering how on earth i would make google bot understand that these are two different pages with different content and meta title?

    Make sure to differ the title tags as much as possible, this can be a pain in the ass I know personally!

    Of late, google is very particular about the meta tag description and short titles which is shown in the google webmaster tools. I hope it has no relevance to the SERP! :)

    This is only the reason why we believe on real page content instead of Meta Description.

    Content of each page is different since these are two different game pages. Game titles are not short either and are unique, My database consists of 40k games and you can say there are thousands of games in sequels and how on earth i am going to fix all, why dont google bot understand that Game Name Part 1 is different from Game Name Part 2

    My titles are not short and my serps are down because i think google is considering my pages as dupes which are not.

    title1: Game name sequel 1
    title2: Game name sequel 2 = google thinks its duplicate
    I think they are unique.
    Now its going to be really time consuming and pain in ass to first think another title for sequel two and then implementing.
