The winner will receive a free shout out

if you die on the last boss of risk of rain again you're going to make me look bad to my friends who i hyped the run up to, so please don't

wrt battleblock: i kind of dont want to play the game anymore because these guys are so good at it

sometimes the game gets really glitchy in a uniquely cool JRPG way, and that's great. i agree that random encounters suck though

That reminds me. Are there any Bravely Default runs? Since at any time you can adjust the encounter rate as low as you want it seems like it'd be interesting to route with incredibly low levels.

my prob with BBT the game is that games whose levels are made in the level editor that ships with the game always feel bland to me and lose my interest after a while

I know some people love that though

the run is entertaining enough

jrpg speedrun ROUTES are cool in a "statistics word problem" sort of way where you have to figure out the lowest level you can get through the game while maintaining acceptable odds of victory

doing the run itself?

gently caress YEAH I LOVE RANDOM ENCOUNTERS making GBS threads ON MY TIME.

The Final Fantasy 1 run is neat from a technical perspective since they have the internals of the game completely figured out. The reality of the run is a lot of grinding and walking back and forth over the same two tiles while running away from battles to get the encounter table to the right place before they enter the next area.

I liked BD even though I never finished it but this sounds like the worst idea ever. You need to play through the same bosses, what, like 9 times?

It happened a few years back (I think feasel and duckfist were amongst the folks involved) and if I remember correctly it flopped pretty badly, which surprised people considering the runners involved. But this was many years ago and I imagine someone remembers it better than I.

uncharted was temporarily resident evil 4

Uncharted was legit interesting and last year's RE4 run was pretty bad, didn't he use New Game+ weapons and poo poo that trivialized the whole game?

Dias posted:

I agree. The concept and the planning is interesting, the execution not so much. Plus they tend to be long.

I think the issue with JRPG runs is that if you haven't played the game you don't really understand what's going on even if the commentator is really good. Usually when they run JRPGs I watch it with a friend who loves them and he goes into all of the specific details of what exactly is skipped and I get somewhat of a sense of what just happened but ultimately I'm still :what: about it. When you're not walking on air, moving at speeds that anyone can clearly see wasn't intended or clipping through poo poo it really just becomes a playthrough for most people.
