#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 269

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:

Going for an even split here between Gunmetal Arcadia (excellent retro-style Metcastlevania-style game by Kyle Pittman, who we interviewed about one of his previous games for this site when we launched), the one about the Goose, and the latest Yak.

Goku Makaimura Kai is the best GnG game, so it gets full votes. I hope the new one is even better!

Teleroboxer and Super Mega Baseball 3 were both last minute nominations by me. Teleroboxer is a very cool game I need to spend more time with, while Super Mega Baseball is a good arcade sports game that I'd like to see iterate on the concept a smidge more next time. It's a great, snappy arcade baseball sim, but if they release a 4th, I'd like a bit more goofiness. Throw in an NBA Jam style fire mode or something, and it could be really great.

I will almost certainly like Yakuza 7 more than at least one of the above games (if not all), but I haven't played it yet and don't intend to until I'm caught up with the series, so I'm gonna abstain on it.
You got BOOST power!
