So I'm just trying to think what kinds of categories would be existing for this game. Aside from an expected Any%, one that ive been working on while I figure out some routing things has been Lu Bu(The Strongest)%, essentially speedrun to beat Lu Bu at Hu Lao Gate.
Hey! glad to see someone opened the game up, was kinda waiting on it.
Was thinking the breakdown would likely be Wei/Wu/Shu, then NG or NG+ and difficulty. Maybe True endings? As far as other goals I can think of would be Lu Bu
I like the idea of breaking them by kingdom and/or difficulty, just opening up a lot of options. Also True endings sounds like it could be interesting to do as well.
The game is still quite new, and we dont really need to rush into anything just yet, I was just wanting to at least start some conversation for it and see what other ideas others might have.
I'd also say that the most logical way would be NG and NG+ for the three/six routes with true ending. With NG+ maybe starting in Chapter3? Also maybe leaderboards for one chapter each, even though I'm not sure if that makes sense. It's really depending on how many people actually are interested in running the game.
Nice to see there is a categoria for this.
To add to this disscusion. I think doing it a like the Samurai Warriors 5 board where you have runs for specific chapters would be nice. Of course level runs like DW8 might also be nice, but the nature of the game makes it a little bit more awkward than 9.
I've done runs offline of Chapter 1 and that's about an hour, usually under it. Pretty good starting point. On Thursday, I'm going to run Chapter 1 + 2 to see how long that generally ends up being. I think probably we should focus on who is actually the fastest faction for the full game, and just call that the Any%. But I understand people wanting to have different routes to get through the story so that would probably be alright as well.
Currently my best Lu Bu% is about 2 hours, but for doing full game I highly doubt that fighting him would be the play. I wouldn't mind doing routes for all factions at some point down the line, but for the time being focusing on one, ideally the fastest, is going to be the best for my sanity.
In general it's definitely not faster to fight him, yeah. You can just head straight to Dong Zhuo pretty easily. As an optional objective for a run though it's pretty cool.
So far I can say that I needed around 3 hours for Wei Chapter 3-5 in NG+ (not max level) and 2.5 hours for Shu Chapter 3-5
