#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 38

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.

The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming later this year.

HOW TO VOTE

Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.
  • You have 6 total votes to distribute.
  • You can only select up to 3 options.
  • You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
  • NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
  • The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.
EXAMPLES
  • You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
  • If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
  • If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).
This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!

If you have questions, ask before voting! :neon:

I can’t believe I wasn’t able to vote for the awesome Ys games but I ran out of votes. Last of Us deserves 3 for being one of the best games I’ve ever played. M&M3 for being awesome and deep and fun. Lots and lots of fun.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

Dillon's a fun eshop title. I'd be interested to see how Nintendo would continue the series outside of the 3DS.

Last of Us was indeed good.

Main vote for Ys, which I played on TG16 back in the day, then played again when it made its way to more modern platforms (Wii VC, namely).

Second vote for Last of Us, for really encapsulating a certain kind of cinematic gameplay.

Threw my last vote to Geo Wars, after praising the Wii & DS ports in a previous batch of polls. Might as well give the OG a little love as well.
