So i propose the rules say NEW GAME ONLY! (NOT NG+)
Timer starts when you choose difficulty. Timer ends when you lose control at the end of chapter 12. Collect all audio and text logs Purchase all weapons Fully Upgrade All Weapons, Rig, Kinesis and Stasis As much as the game will allow as possible as i dont believe the game gives enough nodes to upgrade everything if this is permanent category then i will research and explore to make sure.
Just need to ask how to know if you have 100% logs and nodes as there arent any 100% records within the game itself so you cant cross-reference but also another issue maybe instead of maximizing the inventory you need to get all schematics and instead of all nodes you need to get the maximum number of weapons upgraded fully aswell as your rig and stasis and kinesis
Got a question for you @houseparty420 why does the rules say that the timer starts when you choose difficulty but then to subtract the time from the point of difficulty selection just curious mate wouldnt be easier to start the timer from the point of gaining control of issac
@houseparty420 i dont mean to be a dick but if the table was flipped and one of us did that would you change our time or get rid of the run i indeed think so you wouldnt hesitate but seeming as its your run its a different story come on mate even with a time of 2:36:05 your still the world record holder its not fair to post a fake time for your run so that no one can beat you also in the stream you say the rules should say "When you gain control of issac" i believe thats what you did but lets think about that the cutscene in the intro its 3-5 minutes long cut that out and youve got 2:31:05 or something longer that that but if you guys want to make fake times thats up to you i
ll continue to try and beat those times though but i will say this i dont respect liars and cheats for their own agendas GoodDay!
