#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 179

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:

I missed Ninja Gaiden II on here or I would have considered giving it my consolation vote instead of the draggy Dragon Warrior VII. Okami is a wonderful Zelda game, and Picross is Picross. Always nice to churn through a few hundred puzzles before bed for a couple months.

I understand DWVII’s weaknesses but feel like its strengths more than offset for it. I love the story telling cycle it uses and the world is so so lovely. I also voted for the stellar Ninja Gaiden II for doing everything the first game did and even polishing it a little further. Just wow.
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.

I'm a sucker for Picross so I had to throw my votes towards that. I didn't even realize that Picross S4 just came out. I know what I'll be playing next during this quarantine.
