#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 164

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 Another Code .. if it was a bit longer I would give it 3 votes. It was a great game not only to showcase the DS but also for a nice story

I gave a couple votes to Mega Man 5. Good game even though the series was becoming recycled at that point.

Too many to vote for. I had to give it to Gears which was a game I bought solely after watching the Mad World advert and it didn't disappoint. Was blown away by the graphics.

Bioshock I had been following for a while and simply needed to have it when it came out. A very atmospheric FPS with some neat elemental powers. The city of Rapture was fantastic.

The walking dead was my first time playing one of these Interactive stories. Initially I thought the choice of different paths was going to be endless and I didn't understand how they did it and was absolutely amazed. Later I discovered it was only the illusion of choice most of the time and only a few scripted A or B choices existed with the other sub choices leading back to A2 or B2 etc. but I still felt the story was well crafted and I cared about the characters. Ended up beating nearly every game made by them except Minecraft and Back to the future.


I wanted to vote for Another code too it had some fantastic moments with its puzzles. I was speechless when I finally worked out one puzzle needed me to close the lid of the DS
