#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 100

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:

Worms is a great artillery action/strategy game.
Mega Man X2 is a great action/platformer, one of the best entries in the series.
Bosconian is a whack early shmup.

I adore MMX is X2 better or worse? Similar or different?

If you adore MMX, you'll adore MMX2 as well. IMO the first game is slightly better, but that's very likely largely nostalgia speaking, because the style, pacing, etc. is all quite similar. Importantly, MMX2 is not bogged down by a bunch of weird new mechanics, so the games play pretty much the same. Great pumping music and colorful graphics.
