there's a fair amount of optional bosses in dark souls 3 and you can also do a pretty big sequence break early on if you know what you're doing and can handle it. it's at least handled a lot better than the dark souls 2 system of 'lol i dunno get a lot of souls'

I don't like how they restart the game everytime they open a door to cheat the in-game time instead of just doing an RTA.

I'm assuming that's because load times are going to vary pretty wildly in this resource hog of a game and that's just an unfortunate side effect.

DS2 "fixed" this problem by having a ten-minute unskippable credit sequence at the end of the run where the in-game timer kept running. :v:

e: The thing with Spook where you trick the game into thinking you survived a fatal fall by simply quit/restarting the game is hilarious though.

I think that's mostly done to reset enemy positions and aggro, but it might vary from case to case.

It's weird that the any% runs seem to be optimized for real time, while the all bosses runs seem to go for game time.

it should be noted that the person who organized the marathon this was a part of has been all but kicked out of the community after having been caught cheating in a run.

It seems as if the "runner" did this as a joke at their expense rather than as an attempt at passing the run off as their own.

If looks like it isn't really RTA. I think they base it on the in game timer. I've seen them adjust their current split clock by a little when loading back in sometimes.

Yeah, the guy posted on Reddit that it was pretty much just a middle-finger at Chibi.

Not as big a middle-finger as when the stream got hijacked and Goatse'd after one of the organizers accidentally streamed the Teamviewer password out, but a middle finger regardless.

I was wondering if I had missed something that there was a marathon being run by and starring Chibi that people would want to participate in or watch. But apparently the whole thing exploded and the twitch account deleted so that seems about right I guess.

it's also at least a little silly to time yourself playing a single player video game according to rules that were just kind of made up by whoever started doing it for that game first as a whole so whatever.

Was Chibi the one asked to shut up during a Tomba run on a GDQ a couple years ago?

Sure is, also made the hilarious tweet about bringing condoms to GDQ, and also cheated on some speedrun (hence the spliced DX:HR run thing at ESM just now).

They do. Livesplit has an autotimer for DS3 which pulls from the in-game time, so it's paused on loadscreens.

Both DS1 and DS2 have more optional bosses than DS3.

Chibi was told to "shut the gently caress up" by PJ, whom I can't imagine telling anyone to shut the gently caress up even though I saw the tweet.

Bloodborne is kind of a different since loading times were loving absurd prepatch. 40+ seconds for anything and then there were some stupid skips you could do as well.

I come bearing details of Superdogthon to raise money to get Fladervy to SGDQ to run Milla%! We're running the marathon between the 30th of April to the 2nd of May.

The schedule is located here: https://horaro.org/superdogthon2016/schedule

It might shuffle a bit between now and then, but this is the plan. I'm running Silent Hill just to completely ruin the tone in the middle of the marathon, and also rejoining for the big 4-way Lilac race for the finale! I will almost certainly lose because it's at like 5am my time and I will be completely shattered! Thrilling!

The marathon will be hosted on Johann's channel here: http://twitch.tv/johannhowitzer

Please look forward to it!

I wish Dark Souls runs had a no S & Q any% or all bosses run, that would a good watch

Only boring people run it unpatched, RTA it's effectively the same time if you include the storage character setup (and patched has cooler skips in general)
