#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 70

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:

There are possibly some other games here that might deserve a secondary or tertiary vote, but Suikoden is so good that I had to make it my sole vote.

It was actually the first PS1 game I played. It came out a couple of months before Final Fantasy VII, so I think I got it for Christmas with my console, and then I got FFVII for my birthday later. I remember being blown away by the characters' articulated map sprites—they could actually move their arms, kneel, tilt their heads, etc. It was a nice fluid upgrade from the thousands of SNES RPGs I had played by that time.
