#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 8

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the second round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence 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... realistically in early 2021.

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 enjoyed this game but it wasnt amazing. Probably due to its age.

I only trickled out a couple of consolation votes here, including one for X-2 because there's an actual functional job system under all that mess of nonsense.

I agree with all of the previous comments on X-2. Spira is beautiful but the game is a mess of noodles with a good job system. Also gave some love to MGS3 even though I have mixed feelings about it (a mixture of love and of disappointment).
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.

WHAT A THRILL

Snake Eater is the perfect spy game and has the best title music of all time. Makes me smile ear to ear anytime I hear it. MGS3 is one of a select handful of games where as soon as the credits rolled, I knew it was one of my favorite games of all time and probably always would be. An absolute delight. I had a fun time playing through it a couple more times for its PS3 platinum as well. I love love love Snake Eater.
You got BOOST power!
