#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 188

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:

Three votes for the game that really turned Dynasty Warriors around and spawned the huge sweeping franchise that includes Fire Emblem, Zelda, Dragon Warrior, and others now. It's a good one. Archers were scary in DW3 lol.

Two votes for Final Fantasy XIII. You heard me!

And a vote for Pokémon Platinum, which was the tidy version of the sloooowkémon games of that generation.

DMC5 was good, though I didn't stick with it. I appreciated the balls to the wall story and crazy visuals.
