#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 91

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 didn't vote for it, but The Unholy War deserves mention for being one of those completely crazy genre mashups from the mid-PS1 era that oddly works all the better because of it's janky polygonal graphics.

Had to split 3 of my favorite games into 2 votes each. Banjo-Kazooie for still being perhaps the finest example of that particular type of platformer, Left 4 Dead for being a huge high school co-op game, and Streets of Rage 4 for still being on pace to be my 2020 GotY and one of the best beat 'em ups ever. Good bracket!
You got BOOST power!
