Oxfordshire, EnglandSorry for the late response! I will look into it :)
You're very welcome :) I'm gonna do a run later so I'll try and get all the strats to show for people aha
There's a lot of micro management involved in what you destroy in later parts that get's somewhat hard to manage too DX
So I have an (Undocumented) PB / WR of 1:38:21 (Splits here: https://postimg.org/image/v2s6vq5n9/) however I don't want to post a time on the leaderboard without a video, as it feels maaad cheap :P
So I thought I'd post a few notes / pointers to help people through the first few levels, as there are quite a few tricks throughout this game that I don't want to write a whole post about.
Street Sweeper: The only essential enemies / targets to destroy are: The enemies right outside the spawn base, the two tunnel targets, the Ship, and the enemies back at the spawn base. Everything else is unnecessary.
Signs of Life: I love this one. You can completely ignore everything and go straight to help Alera with the battle armor, using mortars makes this pretty easy.
Tank Rush: You can actually clip through walls in this game (Probably do a video on it later). Clipping through the gate at the end of the level (That you have to hack) can save a bit of time if done fast enough.
While this is pretty bare I plan on running this again / doing a tutorial for all the crazy strats there are in this game. I'll post on twitter when I'm running ^_^
Hey glasnonck!
My apologies I don't check this too often as it kinda died for a while xD
My current PB on AC4 is a 36:38 but off stream so it wasn't recorded, I only have the splits :c I will link my notes because that's all I can really do, hopefully they speak for my pb c:
Basically the notes are the time of each mission with the current run setup at that time (So if I was using only EN weapons for chapter 4 as an example, the times are using only that setup)
And here are my splits for the route c: https://splits.io/6l7
I hope this helps you, good luck with your runs!
Just wondering if anyone knows of any glitches for this game that might be beneficial for a run?
Moving to this after I'm done with Last Raven and wanna get a heads up xD
Thanks c:
Hey all, Spark here making another forum for Glitches that may help runs and / or Strategy discussion with others!
So like, if you know of a glitch for one of the AC games then post a vid or let people know about it so we can either try and develop it or generally discuss it and it's uses :)
This thread could also be used to discuss strategy's or routes that people might use at lower or higher skill levels of running. I.E. if you are a new runner and want to run one of the AC games, let us know and we can help you out with some general tips for that specific game :)
Thanks, and happy running!
You're very welcome, and thank you for being active ^_^
I watched the video's you linked me to, and I'm really impressed and thankful you linked them, I will try running with that regulation from now on and see how it goes, thanks a lot! :D
And yet another thank you, There aren't many TAS' of PS2 games generally so it's nice to see that LR has one :D
That is a very nice run man :) All gold 8 hours? that's a lot longer than I thought it would be D:
About for Answer, If you would like to share those idea's at all please let me know, I think a newer strategy is needed rather than optimization on my route, I feel different weapon combinations could be used definitely, I look forward to seeing you run :)
Wow that's a lot of runs lol, I'll go search for them, if you want to add them yourself though then you may, I have made you a moderator as I assume you could mod for the japanese runners ^^ But please let me know if you would rather I didn't :)
Thanks for pointing out the error with TMRaven's run, I have corrected this now. I must have got mixed up I was awake late night for 3+ hours editing all of this leaderboard xD
Hey niedle :) Nice to see other AC runners, I'd like to see a run of nine breaker, sounds like it would be kind of long >_<
If you know of any other runners please let me know so I can add their times to the leaderboards, thanks!
Hey all, a simple starter thread for any AC runners or runners that are thinking of learning any of the AC games :)
I'm Sparkingmeteor1337, I live in England, UK, and I run Last Raven, For Answer, 4, 1 and 3. I've run the others in the past but I peaked with them and decided to move onto the others c:
if anyone wants to introduce themselves, please go ahead! ^_^
