BOTTOM 512 — Week 8 — Poll 22

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 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!

Lemmings is a good port, but it's better played on PC IMO (split-screen versus is an interesting feature, I suppose, but it's not particularly fun).

Final Fantasy VIII isn't my favorite by any means - it's kind of a mess, but it's a lovable mess. It goes a little weirder than most of its siblings and is interesting for that at least. It also has lots of good music and Triple Triad.

FF8 is definitely in my top-half. Great game. Gets underrated by people who think the system and story are weird (people who have apparently never played any of the other weird-ass Final Fantasy games). I think a lot of those people were folks who thought FF8 was supposed to be a sequel to FF7, or the same kind of game with a new story. Nah bro. Nah.
