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!

Not the strongest bracket despite appearances, IMO. There are better Smash Bros. games. Arkham Asylum is better than Arkham City. LBP1 is better than LBP2. So I'm going to slap big votes on Disco Elysium as a well-crafted modern RPG and Superhot VR as a brilliant VR puzzle game. Excellent proof of concept for VR as a technology.

"It's fine." - Claytone on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (~400 hrs on record)

Light Crusader was pretty cool on genesis. Very wonky block physics though.

Totally agree on Superhot VR outstanding game and really gave me a wow moment.

However LBP 2 is much better than LBP 1, it's editor was in a whole different league compared to LBP1.

Yeah, I mean, it was mechanically better in many respects, but I just found it less inspired. Kind of an intangibles thing. I have the same semi-controversial opinion re: SM Galaxy 1 & 2.
