#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 173

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:

Metal Slug is good. Dragon Warrior is excellent! Fire Emblem Awakening is not one of my favourite FE games but it is quite solid. Solid maps, solidish characters, etc.

I gave Dragon Warrior full votes for being a nearly perfect game. I just adore it. Also gave Belmont’s Revenge some votes for being good if a bit too difficult.
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.

Dragon Warrior stills holds up well, especially with save states.

Glad I played DQ1 just in time for this poll. Such a fun little game. Adore it.

Metal Slug is also terrific. Cast my last vote for Windjammers, which a great 1-on-1 title and deserves to be doing better than it is, but this is a bit of a group of death!
You got BOOST power!
