#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 18

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:

I had a remarkable amount of fun with World of Goo. A perfect game for the Wii Remote. One of the first downloadable titles I think I ever played on a console.
You got BOOST power!

World of Goo (3)
Probably aged horribly but it was such a fun game when I played it a decade ago.

Pokémon Crystal (3)
The enhanced version of silver/gold which was my first series. Also first game to let you choose gender which in itself is a huge step in the right direction back then.

Aria of Sorrow is definitely one of the better Metcastlevania games, and certainly the best one on GBA.

I considered giving World of Goo one vote but decided to stick with Aria alone here.
