This seems like a game I would pull my loving hair out trying to legitimately finish. It took me long enough to beat the Portal and Deponia games. My face would be buried in a walkthrough half the time defeating the point of everything.

The later puzzles of this game can be legitimately difficult, especially the star puzzles. It's way harder than Portal.

Looking forward to see how he clears the grey world of the DLC, that place took me ages to finish.

Without the stars it's about on par with Portal. Meaning: get to the Credits without the ultra bonus stuff.

Nah, the red puzzles are way harder than most of the puzzles in Portal. I thought that was how I was gonna present it to friends as well, before I thought about it.

I think he mentioned earlier that he prefers this FOV because he played a shitload of Quake and you can kinda tell.

Half of it is that even if they were doing it themselves (correctly), it's still riding on stuff like "when the crosshair appears" which is pretty inaccurate. Do they not have programs that can hook into the game and do it automatically at precise times.

Nope. Each game would require its own modification to such a program, and even that wouldn't work for the console games. As far as I'm aware the precise times are calculated based on the recorded video.

Well at least for anyone who hadn't played this game - you didn't get to see the absolute best part of the game i.e. the good ending path at the top of the tower.

So you should still play it!!!

You think so? I'm a loving imbecile and upper time took me for any puzzle (excluding stars, as I said) was maybe 15 minutes, apart from one where I bashed my head against it for an hour before I realized I was missing something obvious.

You're not wrong, but these do actually exist for several games anyway.

Source games tend to have them, as does Deus Ex: HR and I think Mirror's Edge?

I think this is the surprise run of this AGDQ so far. I don't know if anyone suspected that an hour and a half run of a physics puzzle game would be this good.

LiveSplit has autosplit support, but the way it works is by constantly reading the game state from the RAM, so obviously it will only work for PC and emulated games and even then for only those that the community has figured out the relevant memory addresses and set up the splits for

The puzzles got pretty tough during the second zone for me. Gave me headaches a lot, too. Which was probably motion sickness, looking back.

Given that the WR for that category was something like 53m 27s, I'd say it was a good run.

Have you played Portal recently? Once you understand the portal mechanics you can usually see the solution almost immediately when you enter the rooms, there's tons of visual clues if you know what to look for.
I'm not saying this game is impossibly difficult, but it is definitely a step above Portal.

Midnight block runs are always the most interesting ones. Like that Halo run a year or two ago that by all means should have been placed instead of the touhou block.

I'm really sad this wasn't on particularly discounted during the steam sale: this run has won me over for getting this game whenever.

Sure none of the sigil puzzles are that hard, but all of portal's puzzles were essentially a matter of figuring out what mechanic they were playing with when they designed it and using it in the most obvious way. Even in the sigil puzzles in Talos I think I'm right in saying there are red herring items given to you entirely to gently caress with you.
