STGT'12 Week 3 Voting: Hori Week

Post by dex »

The voting process is simple: if you're a captain, you can send me the vote using a Private Message. If you aren't a captain, do not send me a vote.

The choices for this week are:
  • R-Type Leo (Irem)
  • Salamander 2 (Konami)
  • Black Heart (NMK)
The ballot is secret. Because I'm a little late with this for personal reasons, you have until the actual start of the week to send me your votes (4AM GMT of the 13th).

Never thought I'd be excited for a hori week but I guess that's the power of V-V for you

I'm hoping to go three for three for reasoning a pick that seemed reasonable and then devastated me by being totally wrong.

So I guess I should pick Black Hears since I know what I'm getting there.

I'd take a guess that we've both voted the same, thus far? I wonder if we'll both be completely wrong for the rest of the month too :roll:

you voted Bakraid first week though, right?

I have fallen prey to what I wished for every time so far.

If I were superstitious, I'd have a bad feeling about Leo right now.

Also, wow, great sentence structure in my post above, sorry about that!

Oh, I thought you mean "totally wrong" as in, the complete opposite of correct, as in, choosing the one with the lowest votes at the end (which was how I apparently voted so far).
My votes were Bakraid, Hishouzame, Black Heart.

R-Type Leo is cool and all, but it's way too easy for a competition like this.

Salamander 2 seems like the best option. Good length (about 30 minutes for 2 loops), resonable difficulty.

Black Heart looks like a piece of shit, how the hell did it even get on here :lol:

Whatever wins, we all lose. Salamander 2 is the lesser of the three evils. A good week to catch up on all the games I've been neglecting so far this month, methinks.

R-Type Leo doesn't require nearly the level of milking (if any?) that Salamander 2 does for high scores, doesn't loop and isn't like playing V-Five over again. Or: R-Type Leo isn't a bad joke.

We already had one, and there's still a few more chances for more.

Salamander 2 is easily going to be the best of the 3. I'd at least try R-Type Leo if we unfortunately get it, but I've got to agree that Black Heart looks like garbage.

I like playing Leo but it's another no-miss game. The bulk of your score comes from how many lives you have left at the end of the game.

If you havent tried it yet it might just be your favorite of the three.. it's very different from the other r-type games and I liked it a lot more than expected at least. no checkpoints or checkpoint milking in the world ver. helps too. Bad game for scoring competition though I guess
