#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 46

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:

2 votes for Ecco - only played the VC version but really liked it
1 vote for Metal Slug 3 - like the series, may have played this in a collection
1 vote for Quake 3 Arena - did not like this Quake version at first for it's multi player focus but liked the single player part after some time

Locking these in before I change my mind. Big pops to the excellent arcade Strider. Minipops to Contra. Mid-pops to God of War III for being an excellent refinement, pre-God of War (PS4), to what God of War could be. Honorable mentions to Ecco and Quake III, which I considered for my third vote.

Ecco got a vote for being clever and different and moderately fun. Also gave GoW3 some props for being epic and fun. Was too hard for me to :c: but I loved it. Also gave Strider a vote mostly from nostalgia. It is a good game though.
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.
