The Big Adventure Gamers “VS - There Can Be Only One” Tournament
| Poll: Would you like to have a group stage before direct knock-out duels? Total Votes: 32 |
|
|---|---|
| Group stage before the direct elimination duels | 22  |
| Immediately start with the knock-out rounds (128 - 64 - 32...) | 10 |
The tournament has entered the stage where I’m having difficulties to vote. Every game that’s left is great and if you think about my absolute favourites, Discworld Noir doesn’t stand a chance and Gabriel Knights are against each other etc. So I’m more interested seeing what other people vote really.
These kind of tournaments are always about luck, already on knockout rounds you could see how “smaller” games had no chance getting through groups with 3 or more big favourites. There just isn’t enough votes to spread around. But as it’s been said, this isn’t supposed to give us any real ranking list. And all the games that reach the top have gone through several eliminations now and earned their status as “top adventures”, even though some other great games have unfortunately dropped.

Could it be a final face-off between Grim and Monkey 2? 
I think Grim is sure from its side of the bracket, but from the “upper” one I still see Tex as a favorite. I hope I’m wrong though 
Could it be a final face-off between Grim and Monkey 2?
Nope - Not a chance.
It will either be Tex or Purple Tentacle against Manny Calavera, only a sudden influx of new members with a different taste can change that. Hmm… that gave me an idea 
, perhaps I should tell the good people at the RTG forum about what is going on here? Nah… that would be kind of cheating… wouldn’t it?
I must confess that I’m shocked at how popular DotT seems to be, I mean who would guessed that it was actually more popular that the MI series, or most of the games that are normally considered the big classics?

I restrained myself for posting about this tournament on the BFG forums for the same reason. (Although Tex is wiping the floor with Guybrush’s face anyway 
).
He he - don’t worry I won’t actually do it.
But with the relative few voters in this tournament, it wouldn’t take much to turn the whole thing upside down.

Well, Tex annihilated old Guybrush in the last two rounds (unfortunately he couldn’t have a third go at him ).
So purple tentacle wins. How… disappointing

I’m also very sad for the games that were eliminated in the Quarters and their pure brilliance doesn’t allow them to say their last words just yet. So there will be 4 more matches that will determine their placement (5th-8th place) in the tournament.
I hope this will add just a little more fun as I suspect that the semifinals (and possibly final) would be pretty one-sided.
Love the idea, Bogi!

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
I hate the idea - Now I have to watch TLJ being humiliated for a second time 
(But apart from that it is not a bad idea)

Yes, I dread the idea that both The Longest Journey and Broken Sword will lose again. I mean, people, both these games are in the AG Top 5!!!
I’m looking forward to the clash between the first two Monkey Islands, and to TLJ clubbing BS over the head.

Talking about adding insult to injury 
At least any of these games will be in the Top 8, so I can live with almost any ranking between 5 and 8. I’m having much more difficulty with ‘1st person’ Tex Murphy in the semi’s at this point 
And I’m still digesting Gabriel Knight 2 losing out in the best 16 round, but yeah….it’s pretty sour to be facing Gabriel Knight 1 at that point in the tournament.

Come on now!!
How should I feel about Riven then?
