North Rhine-Westphalia, GermanyNo, it's all good mate :D it's just a side note in case anyone was wondering about the patch. It's not a problem at all.
Note: This run was done on patch 1.06, I just couldn't add it since that variable is archived.
What I wrote doesn't mean that I think this run should be timed by RTA btw. I fully understand that it's not possible to have fair competition with inconsistent load times when you time by RTA. It's just that IGT (or any similar timing method) makes the run longer in real-time, so you could say it goes against speedrunning nature. That's what I meant.
Pausing the timer during the menu also goes against the nature of speedrunning. Using any timing method but RTA also goes against the nature of speedrunning.
I don't think that would be an interesting run but that's just my opinion. Like why would you run that over Any%? You want to allow every glitch except for the few OOBs we have.
Pre-slums IG cutscene skip (banned for glitchless runs):
I just found a little OOB in Chapter 6. Don't know if you can go completely OOB here, I don't want to play around with it yet since I haven't even finished the game yet, but I wanted to show it.
Yes, I think so. At least I don't know why it wouldn't be allowed.
Everything is fine mate. So again I agree on the grounded deathless misc category. What do the others think?
I don't want to sound pessimistic but Anthony has done a tutorial with thousands of views, he was on front page with thousands of viewers, there are new TLoU2 trailers but there's not a single new runner since then. You really think a misc category like "grounded deathless" makes people run this game? This won't happen, especially because you start with easy glitchless or sth like this when you start running the game, not with any challenge runs. Also the leaderboards are not the reason for the low amount of runners. It's the game. And no, I don't want an "easy deathless" category. This would be the same as an easy mode speedrun but without RE's. No hate but who dies on easy mode? That's not a challenge.
To be honest you guys just sound like "I'm too bad to get a good time/WR in a regular category so I need a category that no one runs so I can say I have a WR".
We can delete categories like Grounded Any%, I don't care about that. These categories are only there because we had to set standard categories when we changed the whole leaderboards.
Again I don't understand what you mean. Ocarina of Time's misc categories have 150+ runners and they are misc categories and not meme categories. Old games like OOT often have things like credit warps so of course there will be more categories. Yes, Low% is a famous category, but not for TLoU. Low% often appears in RPG's where you can clearly restrict your items, for example if you stay LV1 instead of leveling your characters during the run. Your definition of Low% in TLoU would be "pistole only" which on grounded basically is "no shots fired" since you won't have ammo if you're not allowed to pick up ammo. Btw I don't have anything against misc categories, I just don't like meme categories. I know, I don't have to run them, but for me it's also important what other people who don't run TLoU think when they visit the website.
If you really want to have a category like this, I agree on adding a misc "Grounded deathless" category. I only agree because I want to see how the category looks like in a few months. I still don't agree on the other categories.
I can't see any meme categories in Dark Souls 3 and every misc category in DS3 has around 10 runners. Also an "All achievements" category is not a meme. "100%", "All collectibles", "Platinum%" etc. are part of almost every game. I want to ask the other mods - Why did you delete the "No shots fired" categories 2-3 years ago? Your answer will be "because no one ran it" or "the leaderboards were full" or "they're meme categories", which is basically the same as it is now. I'm pretty sure that no one would run these categories and that in 1 year we will delete them.
This post sounds like all the mods already agreed on these "categories". I'm against all of these meme categories because in my oppinion they have nothing to do with a speedrun or with this website. If people want to do challenges like these, they can do it, it's fine, but no leaderboards are needed for this.
Until a few days ago I didn't know that even if we step on the branch we can hear the deer steps. This means that the deer always was consistent and this strat is like 2sec slower.
The most important thing is to add this in Left Behind too because Left Behind Any% WR won't be possible anymore without SSD in the future.
Btw we don't know anything about SSD timesaves yet. It saves 5sec for minimum but don't know if anything above that.
Why no console type? I mean TLoU is actually a Ps3 game so the Ps4 is also an upgrade of the hardware, like SSD.
If we add these filters imo they should exactly look like that: http://www.speedrun.com/khbbs02
