#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 206

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:

Castlevania III is a good Castlevania game.

Skies of Arcadia is a good Dreamcast RPG. :)

I gave a 1-2-3 to Yoshi’s Island (my favorite 2D Mario), Skies of Arcadia, which I love and adore but couldn’t give it three due to other games needing votes...also completion is disproportionally difficult imho....and Dracula’s Curse - what’s probably my favorite Castlevania game.
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.

Clay in here hanging Demon's Crest out to dry. Does this not count as a Ghosts 'n Goblins game to you?

Not one I've played! It's on the to-do list, but I have not played it yet. I'm sure it will get plenty of votes from me in the next BGE. :)
You got BOOST power!
