#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 143

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:

Max votes for the excellent Brothers. This game gets serious discussion on this forum so much that the search function for it must be a delight.

Second vote for the excellent PS2 entry in the Dragon Warrior series.

Third vote for the entertaining Sega Master System Legend of Zelda game.

DQVIII gets max votes for being an immersive, 3D DW game. I wish they’d remake the first couple of games like this.

Also Revenge of Shinobi because it’s awesome. I think I beat it again this year.

And finally Golden Axe Warrior got some votes for being good and maybe even better than Zelda.
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

DQVIII but primarily voting for the 3DS version that added quick saving and took out random encounters.
