#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 57

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:

Metroid Prime is one if the best games I’ve played. So beautiful and immersive. And this coming from someone who wasn’t really a Metroid fan (this was the first Metroid game I’ve ever beaten, and I loved it so much I finished previous entries in the series). I also proudly voted for the fun but extremely difficult Rastan. I wanted to beat that game so badly but never developed the skills to pull it off.
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.

Oblivion was my first open world experience, it was something else. I was terrified the first time I walked through one of those hell portals.

Not a big fan of first-person games or I would have given Metroid Prime another shot.

As it is, I had to go hard for Lunar (a primo Sega RPG), Dragon Force (a primo Sega RPG), and Crystalis.
