#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 2

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set 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 later this year.

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:

Romance 6 isn't really among the great games in the series, but it's one of those series where even the middling entries are better than other good games. The basic strategic infrastructure that Koei has set up here is still a lot of fun. This was the last grand-scale strategic entry before Koei started experimenting with RPGs for Romance 7 and 8, too.

I don't think I have played any of these....
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.

Overcooked 2 is great in that it's just better overcooked 1.

3 Vegas, 2 Bonk, 1 wipE'out". If NV is eliminated here, that would be an incredible shame. What a good game.
You got BOOST power!
