#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 188

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:

FFVII is a great albeit silly game. Road Rash 2 was one of my favorite Genesis games and I don’t even like racing games. And then I voted for a Zelda game I’ve barely played even though I don’t really like Zelda games yet there are things to do in it. And I think that’s a great feature for a game to have.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

Rock Band 3 is the perfect Rock Band game. Still sad that the keyboard was scrapped (and was added *after* Beatles Rock Band).

I voted for the Wipeout Omega Collection even though it's definitely just two games smashed together and I thought we didn't do compilations? If Wipeout HD or Wipeout 2048 are in this competition they shouldn't be because either would basically be a straight downgrade (I guess the argument could be made that 2048 was at least portable).
You got BOOST power!

Steamworld Dig 2 is fantastic. One of my favourite indie games.
