#BGE2020 - Round 1 - Pool 79

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:

I was close to going 3-and-3 for FFT and Langrisser, but Inside definitely deserves a vote.

Even though I thought Inside was just an okay experience, still deserving of a vote from me I feel.

Pleasantly surprised Life is Strange is doing so well. I bought it out of a whim (after watching a WatchMojo video that praised the characters), and really enjoyed it. Had its problems, but so do every other game in that genre that I've ever played.

Life is Strange would easily have gotten a couple votes from me, but sadly it drew a really tough Jogurt pool with two great tactical games.
