#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 185

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:

It’s become clear to me that not enough people have played Skies of Arcadia.
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.

Originally a Dreamcast game right? Sega said they would be remastering Dreamcast games, holding out for that.

Smash 3DS was a technical marvel. It was a full Smash Bros game on the 3DS's 240p screen. I played it more than Smash Wii U, I loved the Smash Run mode.

Fore Emblem Fates is three games, so a lot of value there. I think they nailed the gameplay in these games, music was phenomenal, enjoyed having the My Castle setting as a buffer between missions. The writing and story was just subpar.

Nice! Yes it was and I hadn’t heard that. If they make it VR compatible y’all won’t hear from me for at least a couple of months after its release!
