#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 245

[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!

Snake Eater is one of those landmark games for me personally. Absolutely loved it and was instantly struck with that "wow, this is one of my all-time favorite games" feeling after finishing it. I've rebeaten it a number of times and platinumed it on PS3. Gonna be a tough bracket that doesn't see it get a 3 from me.

Golf on Mars is the sequel to the perfect mobile game Desert Golfing. Both are 2D golf games that involve drag-and-release (think Angry Birds) style gameplay. Absolutely perfect mobile time waster stuff. It only just came out, but I can already tell it's one of those "better in every way" type sequels. It's an expansion on the idea that doesn't seem to have regressed in any aspect. Really love it.

Doom II's anniversary edition I'm assuming didn't do anything to mess up that great Doom formula (perhaps an excess of faith in Bethesda). So, yknow. It's good.

Doom is more Doom, with all the expansions and master levels.

Golf on Mars is more Desert Golfing.

This is the pool of good sequels.
