I am furiously pressing start, I am logistically pressing start, I am holding down start.. Is there any other way to press start?

Sometimes it skips the whole opening cutscene, sometimes it skips the first paragraph, sometimes it does nothing.

Very annoyed.

Sorry, this discussion was not meant to be a debate on the rules. I've turned it into one apparently. interesting dsicussing all this anyhow. :)

There are 3 hyena's in the boss fight on elephant graveyard. You have to fight all 3 of them normally to complete the level. The 3rd hyena spawns in after the first 2 are completed.

All the runs i've seen, they kill the 2 hyena's then exit the level and the third hyena never spawns.

I'm unaware of what you are referring to. I'm aware that you can kill both the first hyeans at once. However, you are supposed to have killed the 3rd hyena to exit the level, and it will not spawn until the first 2 are defeated. So barring some randomness controlling their being or not being 3 hyenas, i have no idea. Every run i've attempted a 3rd hyena has spawned, only after killing off the first 2 hyenas. It's a delayed spawn. About 1 second after you kill the first 2 hyenas, the third hyena falls down. Again, i've only been playing this game since recently, so perhaps there is some other reason this is happening I am not aware of that would still fall under the category of not being an exploit. No idea. Just calling it as I see it.

The other stuff I have no idea bout as I'm not versed in the technical stuff regarding speedruns. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me however as I now have learned something :)

sorry if i'm passing off as rude. I'm simply just stating that if no one else is interested in doing the dcg on glitchless other than me, that I disagree with the rules set in place for the category and there's no point making a category as I will just be playing any%. It' spossible to beat this game in less than 15 minutes doing so without using any of the things I do consider glitches it will just take practice.

have a good day :)

IN a nutshell, both the bug jump and the giraffe jump should not be considered exploits, because nothing is being exploited. You are simply jumping at the right time. What's the difference between this and having the timing downpat to jump across logs or to jump across giraffe heads at beginning of hakuna matata. Absolutely no difference whatsoever. Same thing with the vulture bounce to bypass bone p ile in level 3. These are all things you do naturally. You do not have to get iframes or perform fancy maneuiers. You simply have to know when the right time to jump is. You aren't bypassing an entire screen of the level doing so either. In my mind, using these is no different than using a secret passage way.

On the other hand

Clipping through walls to bypass entire areas is an exploit because you have to abuse the ingame mechanics to become damage immune and quite clearly these are glitches in the programming the devs never ironed out. Causing the 3rd hyena to despawn, is an exploit. It's not "intended" ie, not meant to happen. Skipping through the waterfall is obvioulsy an exploit. THere's a secret path there that you are expected to use.

Just answering your question.

I don't really agree with the rules set for the glitchless category anyway, and since I appear to be the only one askign for a glitchless category in DCG, perhaps it's not worth implementing.

Things in the rules that are part of the game are being considered exploits, while things that are actually exploits are allowed.

It all makes no sense to me. I will just stick to the dcg any% category and work on getting the 16 minutes eventually. It's probably possible to get below that wihtout exploiting the game. If the wr holder for glitchless can beat the game in 15:40 without the use of the bug jump or giraffe jump or other things , then it is possible to get 14 minutes or less using them. So i will just stick to playing my own version of glitchless and put up with the fact it doesn't have a category of it's own.My run last night, would have been sub 18 had i not died twice.

Thanks anyway.

You talk about watching other peoples "glitchless impossible videos'

uh.. where?

can't find any. Not even kidding here. There's no submissions in the category and youtube only returns results for glitchless all of which are on easy or normal.

1001gameslive2 years ago

I assume skipping the door falling down is also allowed. THere's a part of the game where you normally would accidentally get hit by a door that suddenly falls down, but if you get to the door while the npcs are still talkign the door does not fall down.

1001gameslive2 years ago

O that's a lot of skips. I assumed the level 3 kinesis is part of the game . Would not count that as an exploit. But all this other stuff is good to know.

The game constantly crashes and as far as I can tell there is no specific stage it does this on (though it does seem to love acting up on the first chapter if vysnc is on). I have tried numerous things to stop this. None of them work consistently. This is probably why no one but me is running glitchless impossible i imagine. Pain in the butt. Got to the end of chapter 11 in less than 5 hours and the silly thing just crashes. Silly "cutscene" prevents you from savign until after you go through silly 5 minute dialogue with imaginary friend. Had to replay the entirity of chapter 11 essentially and splice it into my video. Very silly.

1001gameslive2 years ago

There appears to be what seems like 5-10 seconds of time difference between the 2 versions, though that may just be me.

I am jsut learning about this NRV thing now. According to this forum post, you have added a category? I do not see it.

Can you please confirm what tools/mods are allowed? Maybe put that in the rules? Also when to start timer, end timer? Used to say "when you gain control of issac" "when you deal final blow to hive"

I am running

Dead Space PC Impossible New Game Glitchless

I already finished a run of 6 hours 18 minutes and uploaded it pending verification.

I'm curious to know as the game is very glitchy on PC and more specifically these annoying cutscenes take up a lot of time.

If you could also clarify on how to handle things such as crashes that would be great. Game is plagued by constant crashes (usually spend the first 2 hours of a stream just redoing chapter 1 repeatedly until it works). had a perfect run, would have been sub 6 hours, and game crashed right at the end of chapter 11 causing me to redo it. i then spent the whole week trying to upload the video to social media to post here but twitch is extremely fickle when it comes to uploading anything over a couple hours.

Anyway, some clarifications on the rules would be nice just in general.

Makes snes to me.

Can we please add a category for glitchless runs in the Disney Collection ? The people doing the ANy% are typically clipping and stuff like that.

I am attempting a Dead SPace IMpossible Glitchless SR. I have some questions.

  1. can the run be paused at the half way point for a break
  2. if not, can the run be in 2 parts, a segmented run.

Just curious as it is a long time to sit here for about 5 hours straight.
