Eonwe posted:some games are an exception, I believe gta vice city does french Deus Ex: Human Revolution is run in French as well, although I don't think they ran it in French when it was at AGDQ (or was it SGDQ2015?). Don't they require at least one of the players to be playing in English for races? It feels like it but maybe I'm just making that up

Pakled posted:What Your Computer said, and because a lot of games have exploitable glitches in the Japanese version that got patched out for international releases. Your Computer posted:Not to mention that the japanese version is generally the first 1.0 version of a lot of games, aka. the least patched version. A lot of insane bugs get fixed during the time it takes for the games to get an english release. LethalGeek posted:On top of the text thing a lot of games before the PS2/XBox/GCN era were produced and released in Japan months ahead of everyone else and tend to have the most bugs because of that. They'd fix some things while translating and producing the game elsewhere in the 6 months between those releases. Man, this is disappointing to hear. I've got no problems with runners using glitches to speedrun in principle, but knowing that they are using janky earlier versions because they have the least patches is kinda lovely. It's like "speedrunning" Morrowind under the basis of using the Robe of St Roris's before its health-restoration effect was constantly on in the first version.

It's like "speedrunning" Morrowind under the basis of using the Robe of St Roris's before its health-restoration effect was constantly on in the first version. The Fast Racing Neo run specifically mentioned that. The game was patched a couple of months ago, and since it's an eshop game, it downloads the latest version automatically. So if you want to do any of the ludicrous breaks he did in his run, you can't, unless you have the 1.0 version.

well last night during the Racing Neo-X or whatever the runner specifically stated towards the end that he is making this game look super broken but you can't play the game that way anymore because it has been patched so much that it plays completely differently

Because SPEEDrunning, this ends up being the fastest version more often than not. also glitches are fun how can one hate on that

Speedrunning works much the same way.

The upcoming Bioshock run reminds me I should've checked if the Rapture-based DLC for Bioshock Infinite was on sale during the now-ended Steam sale. Oops. e: I don't get how people don't get immediately embarassed calling themselves by their online screenames. "Hi I'm YoloArthas420 ecks ecks ecks"...

I only speedrun games of chance. I'm currently routing my Yahtzee world record pace run. Which reminds me, I can't see Binding of Isaac on the list this event which is very good news.

It's like, maybe a small handful of people who really put the work into it. I'm not really one of them. Point is, speedgame communities should all be considered individually, and most individual games don't have very many people to them.

I can't imagine how you could speedrun it in a way that's satisfying considering how random it is Twice, once with a random run with a seeded run as a bonus, once as a two-player race that went in one player's favour almost immediately and never left. The seeded run was actually kinda fun. Seeing the OP combos you can get in Isaac is always a hoot.
