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!

Wow, Demon's Souls and Final Fantasy Tactics are both in my Top 10 games of all time, and here they are, together, in Pool 195 of the first round of pools in #BGE2020.

I should have given Demon’s Souls my remaining vote instead of Detroit but I didn’t think about it long enough. I do feel good about giving Outlast 2 full votes and Desert Strike almost full votes. In a weaker bracket it would have gotten three but I couldn’t not give a vote to Detroit...or DeSouls as it turns out.

I normally wouldn't have given Desert Strike 3 points, but Demon's Souls and FFT are two of the most overrated games of all time, so...

LMAO

Detroit had its issues, but due to the genre I give it a pass on my nitpicks. Really liked that game. I also threw a nostalgia vote in for Wolfenstein.

Wii Sports Resort was good fun. It was cool to see the Wii Concept fully realized with more accurate motion controls.

Sadly, I still found the original Wii Sports better overall. I think it was just a tighter package.

I would have cast votes for Wolfenstein as well, but I didn't have any left after casting perfect votes for perfect games.
