#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 31

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:

Mega Man X is not as good as classic Mega Man but it's still pretty good. Sonic Colors was a surprisingly good break from the series of horrible 21st century hedgehog games. I really liked it and think it was genuinely good, not just good by the standard of what preceded it. Shame only Generations got close to recapturing that.
You got BOOST power!

Three votes for Mega Man X, one of the only non-mainline Mega Man games to be better than many of the mainline Mega Men.

Two votes for the best GTA game.

One vote for Deja Vu, an excellent Mindscape puzzle-adventure that preceded Uninvited and Shadowgate.

3 votes for Descent, played it for a while after getting used to the different kind of 3D (had not played a lot of 3D flying games).
2 votes for Space Invaders Extreme .. haven't played it, but watch a video of some gameplay. It looked ok.
1 vote for Spyro just because I didn't play de PS1 version, but like Spyro
