Possible new category
5 years ago
Colorado, USA

I just routed a new possible category last night... Kinda attempted to run it. It could either be 100% or all trophies. Only real reason I haven't fully attempted it cuz I need to set up a new PSN account with no trophies on it. Any thoughts?

I'd be interested. Guess you'll have to wait for Merbow or another mod to set up the category.

Could the run be completed on any platform? Like, the GOG PC version probably doesn't have achievements/trophies, but a runner can still do the same tasks and call it equivalent, I presume. Right? Is that what you envision?

If not, that would be the only other consideration: keeping in mind that runs of this new 100%/All Trophies category would be constrained to certain platforms only.

Most of the cheevos are story-related, you cannot avoid getting them. There are 14 achievements you can miss but they don't add too much to an overall run. Most of them just involve listening and exploring the world and the people, but in a speedrun you skip past those, even if you want to initiate them.

It's hard to track 100% without the cheevo notices and you cannot reset the progress on those easily.

To unlock these ones, you just talk to someone or something. Either over and over, or exhausting all their dialogue options with no puzzle/thought needed to the order of which you pick them.

  • I Can Do That! - Play a game of 5 Finger Fillet.
  • News to Me: Watch the entire news broadcast in the bar.
  • Know Mo - Go through all of Mo's initial dialogue.
  • Angels With Dirty Face - Go through all of Todd's dialogue.

These ones involve just sitting around, they will be a static time-addition to every run.

  • Burn-In Rubber: Go "afk" and wait for a screensaver to appear.
  • Thank No Cats: Watch the credits until the very end.

These ones involve just looking at an item in game, but because you're skipping cutscenes it might be hard to tell if you actually performed the action.

  • Not Puttin' My Lips On That - Use lips on 10 things.
  • Minking Memories - Look at a photograph in Mo's place.
  • Hard Tale - Look at a photograph at Mink Ranch.

Like the above these ones are unique actions but you can skip the animations and there isn't a lot of indication you've done it outside of the original cheevo notification.

  • Rabbit Ragu - Use a bunny on the engine fan.
  • LOOMing Seagull - Use the machine gun on the truck.

This one seems like an easy to track one, but any deaths at all is basically grounds to restart your run in the existing Any% is my guess.

  • Burger Well Done - Defeat Ripburger without dying.

I'd be receptive to adding this as a new category. Are there any runs of this route available to view?

There isn't any reason to add this as a new category though, due to the reasons I outlined? There is nothing to be gained by doing all the achievements, they are extremely hard to track unless you're doing it on the Steam version and you constantly reset your achievements, and they overall wouldn't add anything to the run that was worth.. doing.

Happy to provide some more information but if you read my post above I have a real hard time justifying why a new category for this would be needed.

I recently figured out how to do this on ps4... start a new profile, get all achievements, delete profile when you want to do another run. I know it's a pain in the butt but that's how I was doing it when I was attempting this a while back. And Merbow if you would still like to see one, I'll record one here before the weekend. It will be a little slow lol as I haven't practiced this in a while.
