#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 59

[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 threw single votes to the meh Double Dragon 3 and to FFX-2 games. They’re okay but not much more than that. But then gave full votes to the masterpiece Gradius. I love that game so much and it’s so perfect.

[Kong Wen]

Had to go with full-point votes for the excellent Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (one of the better official Castlevania games) and the legendary Gradius.

Easy 3 votes for mega man. The series is fantastic and a tonne of fun and the second one was one of the best.
