#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 60

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:

Just Castlevania Chronicles here for me. An awesome, unique, and typically difficult retelling of the first Castlevania.
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.

Not sure if I'm the one that nominated it, but it's "Astral Chain", not "Astral Chains" ! :)

It gets one vote from me. Shout out to Crash Team Racing.

Thanks, it'll be fixed for the next round!

I voted for Dungeon Master, for pioneering the first-person dungeon-crawl genre (in impressive fashion, for the time!), and then gave the rest of my votes to the Castlevania games, in order of importance (the PSP compilation beats the PS1 rehash by quite a bit).
