#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 2

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the second round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence 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... realistically in early 2021.

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 hard to give Flywrench less than full votes, but The Simpsons is fun enough that I had to give it one, and The Beatles: Rock Band was maybe my most-played 360 game. It was certainly up there. Beautiful game and a Beatles fan's dream. Hope they'll do an enhanced port or anniversary edition one day, but I doubt it. Seems that the Plastic Bands of the non-Ono variety were truly a fad.
You got BOOST power!

The Simpsons Arcade Game (3)
So much fun. I remember playing this at the arcade all the time with friends. Good memories.

I considered going 3-2-1 on the exact same breakdown as Clay, but in the end I had to give two max-votes and cut out the Simpsons.

The Beatles: Rock Band is a perfect plastic instrument rhythm game, and not just because of the soundtrack/library, although that plays a big part.

Flywrench is a perfect flying around platformerish thing... momentum-platformer? Great game.

I gave max votes to Flywrench (even though it’s too hard for me) and The Simpson’s.
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.
