#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 225

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:

Rogue Legacy gets max votes from me for being an excellent execution of the "roguelike but you carry over some progress after you die" formula, as well as being one of the great early examples of PS3/Vita cross-save functionality, as well as being one of those really hard games I managed to grind out a platinum trophy in. :)

EDIT: I'll also toss some influence and nostalgia points at the OG Warcraft. The first two games in that series are great strategy games, and fun to play around in.

I only voted for Warcraft here. Great 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.

Ouenben, is this one so much worse than the original Ouendan? Or you just don't have that special bond with it?
