#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 165

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:

Full votes for Rise of the Triads .. spent a lot of time on it when I got the full version. Even used the random level generator that came with it to play additional levels.
2 votes for Trine .. nice concept, maybe I should get it on Wii U while I still can
1 vote for Human Fall Flat .. had some fun with it, but never finished the game

What Remains of Edith Finch is a wonderful game. Scenes from it still pass through my mind. Good stuff.
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.

Max votes for the sidegrade of the best game ever made. They tweaked the translation (good), added some animu scenes (medium), and introduced some lag when casting skills (bad). The mobile port apparently does away with the slowdown issue, but touchscreen interface on this game is bad bad bad. I should look into a controller or some sort when I get my new phone... I wonder if the game supports them.

Anyway, I also tossed a vote to the original (and only good) Star Fox for being a neat, stylistic dogfighter (lol).

Nothing really grabbing me here although I appreciate the original Star Fox was pretty influential and a fun game.
