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!

There are 4 games here that I wanted to vote for, so I had to cut one loose... and that ended up being Horizon Zero Dawn. Maybe the PS5 sequel will resonate with me more. Instead, I voted for Doom 2016, CS Source, and the excellent Guitar Hero 2, predecessor to the I-liked-them-better Rock Band games.

Abstaining as I've only played Dynamite Heady and that game is bananas.

I recommend playing the Japanese version of Dynamite Heady as it is much easier than the North American release. I personally could never get into the game until I tried the Japanese version.
