mark of the ninja and crypt of the necrodancer

Crypt of the Necrodancer is supposed to be really good but I just can't get into it.

Guess it's just not my jam.

No, that's 0-exit. Low% I think just goes to Star Road as early as possible, does all those levels, and warps straight to Bowser's Castle

V e: Oh, yes, this.

Low% means no powerups. Credits warp requires getting Yoshi and big Mario.

The Elder Scrolls block was magical. I missed most of Fallout 3 but Fallout 4 was pretty "eh" in my opinion.

Varies by the devs and what "speedrunning" stuff you're looking for. Metroid Zero Mission put in deliberate in-game shortcuts for low-item runs, but they're not leaving in glitches or anything. For Prime, well, it's actual coding errors and stuff like that and it's not surprising that Retro would fix bugs when re-releasing the game. It was a matter of programmer pride making a "clean" game rather than a deliberate "gently caress you" to speedrunners, it's just that the change was to the speedrunners' detriment.

That's actually fair, tbh outside of moments where the glitches are so absurd they're funny like the wedding skyrim bug I much much much much prefer a game where someone just plays well quickly using game mechanics rather than bugs through walls. I know this would take out almost any of the first person games from the runs tho so I don't mind that being a thing I just enjoy people playing good to sequence break than a super mario world 'hey guys the credits rolled I beat the game' moment.

Pants Donkey: Nov 13, 2011

A lot of indie devs, thanks largely to GDQ, are aware of speedrunning communities now and seem to make an effort to not fix anything that would hurt speedrunning but do very little for casual playthroughs.

Is bug/glitch free a speedrun category?

People do occasionally run glitchless runs as separate categories that I've seen.

For a lot of games, yeah. A lot of games don't have a big enough speedrunning community to support many separate categories though.

Not entirely. Going out of bounds in this game is very powerful, so that's the only condition they have to avoid. There's an ability that lets you teleport short distances, and the rules surrounding that are apparently a little bit convoluted!

He just used some Rube Goldberg set of actions that involved a bug, too.

This run's very well commentated btw.

edit: I misread that original post entirely sorry lol

I don't really think it counts as Pacifist if it's the game's mistake that you aren't credited for the kill...

It is for some games, at least, and sometimes the glitchless runs are so uninteresting that you'll never see them at a marathon. The Ocarina of Time glitchless run coming up tomorrow sounds like a slog.
