#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 41

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:

R-Type gets full and dole votes from me here. The best shooter ever made and one of the greatest games of all time. I was inches from buying a cabinet of this while I was divorced....
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Also went hard for R-Type, gave a couple votes to Orion II, and then tossed my last vote to an influential shooting game that almost single-handedly helped establish and bring credibility to its console, Gears of War.

Mortal Kombat is the only game on here I really played, and it does not deserve a vote. One of the weakest entries in the series. I put a few points in R Type, as I'm familiar enough with what it is, and what is did. I can't play first person games without getting motion sickness, so I can't properly try Goldeneye ever, either.
