Semifinal 2 - The Big AG VS Tournament
My first two posts in 7 years
Don’t forget the archives…
Maaaan I forgot about those, I guess I just wanted to pose as a hipster who posts two times every decade 
Well, well… You know what, I’ve decided to vote. I think these two games are equal (as I said, my shared #3 spot), but I’m thinking about which makes me sadder to go and of which I have less negative feelings (which, mind you, are extremely minimal). And of course since Fantasie voted for it and I want to be all twinsies with the raddest kids in school.
My vote: Gabriel Knight!
Pretty much everything else is tied, but GK did a better job on the puzzles.
Oh, this is just too difficult…
More memorable story: Gabriel Knight
Better lead characters: Gabriel Knight by a mile
More interesting side characters: Gabriel Knight by a mile
Better graphics, compared to the date of release: Gabriel Knight
Better puzzles: Gabriel Knight by a mile
Better music: Gabriel Knight by a mileBetter game: Gabriel Knight
This breakdown could be helpful. Here’s my version of it:
More memorable story: Tie
Better lead characters: Tie
More interesting side characters: Gabriel Knight, but it’s a close match. Perhaps even too close to compare.
Better graphics, compared to the date of release: Tie (GF is one of the few games that actually take good advantage of the simple 3D capabilities)
Better puzzles: Tie
Better music: Grim Fandango, but only marginally.
Well, darn. They win one each, and only barely. I guess side characters are slightly more important than music, so I vote Gabriel Knight. I could have just followed my gut feeling, but now at least I have some small basis for the decision. 
Unbelievable! Up until this semifinal both of these games had equal number of points 320 vs 320!(223-200 for GK in the group stage, but 120-97 for GF in the knockout rounds)
And now, 24h before the end of voting, Gabriel Knight leads by just 1 vote. What a thriller!

Did I mention I’m a big fan of Grim Fandango?
So… It’s over?
What would (have) happen(ed) in a tie?
So… It’s over?
Voting for this match will end on 8th February at 23:59 GMT.
Today is the last voting day.
EDIT: One day before the deadline, GF was in front with 2 votes and now it loses??? Wow….
I vote for:Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.
If it would be GK2, I would vote for it in a hearbeat, but here I have to vote for
Grim Fandango, mostly for the reason to make this a real nail-biter.
It’s time. 
I’ve been pondering this one since before the quarterfinals. GK1 and GF are my two favourite games, and they each shine in very different areas. Ranking them just feels wrong!
I wish I had the time to play through both of them again, so the ranking that I’m going to do anyway, would be more accurate.

...Grim Fandango
If both games are in a draw state….
And have the same amount of points in the Group Stage+Semifinals….
Who wins?
Maybe we should have a final with 3 games to choose from?

Since it`s a tie, the finalist should be the game with the better remastered version… just saying.

How dare you to mock Gabe, the metrosexual?!
