#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 16

[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!

I’ve only played Dragon Age of these and didn’t like it. I almost voted for Animal Crossing despite not having played it but decided against it. Am abstaining again.

Animal Crossing New Leaf is my preferred entry in the series. It did a lot to freshen up the formula.

I gave New Leaf, Dragon Age, and Dig Dug equal marks. Dig Dug is a classic in every sense. I'm a sucker for retro Namco, though. New Leaf was the best in the Animal Crossing series, and that's ignoring the Welcome Amiibo update. (Haven't played since before that came out.) And then there's Dragon Age. It's the only one in the series I've played, but I really liked it. It really is a worthy spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, though it's not without its issues.

My last vote was torn between DA and Kessen and in the end I went with Kessen for emotional reasons. Agree on Dig Dug. My main vote went to Frontier for having mind-blowing scope and scale for a game in the early '90s.
