MongoliaHaving all the RNG locked would be boring and take away what makes RE3 a great speedgame. Most of us just want the GL RNG locked because it's stupid, boring, and causes unnecessary resets. Every other RNG in the game is fun to play against. If the stars office had the GL every time, but there was a room before it filled with hunters that with good execution caused runners to lose on average 50% of their runs, nobody would be asking to mod it because it would be fun RNG to play against, even if mathematically they would be equivalent.
Yes allow it, the only reason it wasn't allowed was because a lot of RE2 runners derailed the old thread and somehow made their "votes" count, I suspect because the mods are friends with those people, even though a majority of the active RE3 runners votes yes. Plenty of games have been modded to make them better speedruns.
In regards to calling it cheating, if you have an archaic old view of speedrunning as "beating a game as fast as possible using any means necessary within the bounds of the game" then yeah it's cheating, me personally don't care for this definition. Speedrunning to me is about competition, that's why have rules, leaderboards, and categories. Calling the GL tool cheating is like calling a group of monopoly player using house rules cheating.
No don't watch my NG+ runs they're old as fuck, I'm pretty sure I heard there's new strats.
If you only have 1 weapon, as you would in G2 as leon, equip the knife, and unequip the handgun in the same inventory, in that order.
2 minutes is not enough, it should be at least 2 hours, shit happens. Any runner knows that pausing for long periods doesn't gain you any advantage, even if its to calm your nerves because the run's riddled with cutscenes anyway. Just because somebody paused for an hour doesn't mean it took any less execution or skill. Technicalities like "it should be single segment", or personal opinions like "runs should be clean" are not even arguments. OG RE2, RE3, and RE4 allows you to pause for any amount of time. It's only RE7 that doesn't allow you to pause except for "strategic" reasons and I'm guessing that's where this is coming from, it's a stupid rule and it should either be removed entirely or have the limit increased.
If you want runners to choose between losing their run vs dealing with an emergency, then you're fucking crazy. Who gives a shit if a run is "clean" or not.
On Leon, run up, aim down, as down as he will go, and have birkin on leon's top right. Make sure the swing is connecting on birkin small arm, in addition to hitting his 2 legs. After 7 swings, he'll start to spin, aim up, and swing once, no more it's very important, then go back to aiming down, and keep swinging. While Birkin is leaning down and transforming get his big arm at the start of the swing animation in addition to the regular hits. If you get 2 hits on the big arm then there's a possibility you'll get 17 hits, but you can go as high as 20 slashes before he grabs you, so it's pretty safe.
On Claire, same thing, but have Birkin even more to the right because Claire has a much better swinging animation, she's capable of cutting Birkin's entire body corner to corner. After 8 swings, aim up for 1 swing and aim back down, and it's easier to get the swings to hit his big arm while he's leaning down. Best I've gotten is 15 slashes, but I believe a 14 slash has been done by 7rayD who might be using a different swinging pattern.
My vote would go for knifeless category to not allow knifing anything, but still be usable as a defense item.
Lowering settings during boss fights makes the run more accessible for people with less powerful PCs, while not making the game look like shit the rest of the way. On top of that, at 50% image quality the statue puzzle symbols become very hard to recognize, especially the lion statue where the lighting can completely conceal some of the symbols, and the yellow bulbs on ivys are so pixelated you literally cannot see it to shoot. You'd know these things if you had actually ran the game instead of making stupid suggestions on a game you're probably not gonna run anyway.
The run doesn't change enough at 60fps to warrant separation, if the people complaining about it bothered to learn the run they'd know. As for PC can't reach 120fps, this is a very well optimized game that even a mid range PC on minimum settings can reach 120fps. This game, limited to 120fps, compared to most PC games released in the last few years, is very low on the pay 2 win scale, if you actually set aside memes and actually learn the run and see how the game works before complaining about a lack of a 60fps category.
So I am not in favor of splitting 60fps, I'd rather have it deleted and replaced with a no knife category. This category will truly be a different category that will have major routing differences and strats, and will run the same for every framerate. Rather than a slightly slower 120fps category which is what 60fps is, a no knife category I feel is much better. There isn't even any routing differences in 60fps, just longer time spent knifing bosses because the knife's still the best weapon.
Also note I turned my refresh rate to 120hz and turned vsync on, and I found it to actually kill performance, not cap it at 120. I was dropping from places I had 180 to not even doing 100.
Ravituner wouldn't launch for me so i'm using dxtory
Not really a fair comparison, the reason other RE games have empty categories is for some reason every single platform has its own leaderboards. If you look at a more fair comparison, The steam version of RE4 has 4 difficulties and apart from amateur which I believe is only in the japanese version of the game yet all of them have a decent number of runs under them.
Yeah whoever updated the autosplitter messed up, new route is late crank, the readme file is wrong, the autosplitter should work fine without any modifications
The PC version runs perfectly fine in any modern PC, all emulators should be banned because there's no reason anyone should want to play on emulator.
