#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 150

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:

Really enjoyed the Tomb Raider reboot, worthy of my two votes. While it doesn't match the narrative quality of Uncharted, I did find this game to be more engaging gameplay wise.

Brother's I played after it won a BGE side event last time. Good game!

Just Brothers here for me. I was tempted to vote for Populous 2 but decided against it. It’s good but it’s no Brothers....
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.

Mother 3 deserves all the praise it gets. Come on, Nintendo. Localize it officially.

This forum really loves the brothers game. I really enjoyed it but didn't expect it to be this popular (especially when it won a sub category last BGE)
