#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 194

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'm casting negative votes for Rotohex for being completely unplayable for someone with colour blindness. I wanted to like the game because of the concept, but I pretty much had to guess while playing it. Boo.

Shaolin Monks is the only Mortal Kombat game I haven't played. Come on, WB... port it.

That's what happened to me with super Mario 3D land the 3d puzzles were just guessing games since I can't see the 3d effect due to a lazy eye.

Yeah that sucks—usually the 3DS games were pretty smart about allowing the 3D functionality to be completely turned off without impacting gameplay, so it's a shame that happened in a flagship title.

Yeah, I've been meaning to get it forever (like, since it came out). Maybe that'll be my next eBay purchase. Really enjoyed the demo.
You got BOOST power!

Yeah in the 3ds's defence its the only title I've played with this issue.
