#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 195

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:

DQXI ftw! Even though I haven't been able to get my stuff together to beat it yet....I did like it an awful lot.
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.

Wow stacked bracket. DQXI was pure Dragon Quest in HD and it was great.

Holy shit, this is a hell of a bracket.

I gave max votes to Demon's Souls, one of the best games ever, and certainly a blueprint for multiple of the best games ever. And now it looks even better than it ever did while still sounding as good as it ever did (VA is one of the things that MADE this game).

I gave 2 votes to VVVVVV, one of the best platformers ever, again with a phenomenal soundtrack!

My last stray vote went to Super Mario World. I had to snub Advance Wars and Dragon Quest XI for this. Just wild.

CNK is extremely underrated. It's pretty much obsolete since CTR Nitro Fueled almost fully remade that too, but it was a worthy successor to the original CTR.
