#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 7

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:

Metroid (1)
Theres much better metroid games out their but this still deserves a vote

Donkey Kong Country Returns (3)
One of my first Wii games and the game that got me back into Nintendo. Only bad thing were the motion controls.

Ys is a wonderful and fresh RPG.

Elite is a mad, ambitious, immersive early-PC masterpiece.

Rampart is a fun arcade thing, and arguably the granddaddy of the tower defense genre.

DKCR is fine. It's fine! One vote.

TwinBee is cute and gets a vote too.

We all really need to come to terms with the fact that Metroid 1 sucks, though. It's bad! Zero Mission on the other hand...
You got BOOST power!

Metroid 1 is better than Zero Mission.

I have trouble agreeing with that. From my experience of playing both anyway... IMO
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.
