#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 41

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:

Three votes for FFXII for being one of the best FF games...I wish that I enjoyed it story but the gameplay more than makes up for that.
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.

Max votes for FFXII, one of my fave games. Great entry in the excellent series, but just a standout bundle of systems all presented together. Some really nice environment designs as well.

From there, went for EVO and FE.

Limbo gets votes from me on atmosphere alone. My memory of the game is pretty hazy, but I remember enjoying it.

Did you play Inside, by the same developer?

It's post-Limbo, and nails the atmosphere in the same way. Good game that takes some unexpected turns. It's probably only a couple of sittings long (I played through it in one night).
