Bottom 768 — Week 9 — Poll 31

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

Dos2 is a masterpiece. Such a fun CRPG made by the team behind Baldur's Gate III. Highly recommend.

^ I'm with her. Although I don't know if I'd call it a masterpiece, it's the definitive "modern" cRPG pre-Baldur's Gate III and it's also a good game.

I love Maniac Mansion and it was the prototype for the later Lucasarts adventures to come, but Day of the Tentacle is superior. Meanwhile DoS2 takes everything great about the first DoS and fixes what was less than great (story) to make one of the greatest RPGs ever.
