#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 24

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:

Big votes for the best GTA game, Saints Row 3.
Medium-sized votes for Chrono Cross, which couldn't come anywhere close to capturing the magic of the first game, but still had some interesting mechanics and good music.

I wish I could have small-votes for both Blazing Lazers and Galaga, but since I had to pick one, I went with the old man.

Blazing Lazers is just incredible. I enthusiastically voted for it. Also gave some love to an excellent .hack game.
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

The games really stupid but that's why it's fun. It's not mind blowing or anything but silly fun is still silly fun

I'm a sucker for oldschool Namco. Easily gave three votes to one of the best shooters ever made, Galaga.
