Never been worse.
Diablo 2 has aged like a bag of Chinese food left out in the sun for a season. Roll that poo poo into the trashcan alongside idiots that still think it's a passable game and not some moldy relic.

Just caught up but glad to see nobody was really making GBS threads on the slim commentary. Talking while typing is impossible :(

D2 is a fun game that imo aged okay, but I dont think that came through in the run. A lot of the fun (exploration, party play, loot runs, gimmick builds) got bypassed. Either way I cant really think of an arpg that would make a better run.

Pokémon runs are always all routing and "glitch" runs destroy the game, so...

you can beat the game fairly fast by careful pokemon management and such, its prob actually glitchless

now why they think anyone wants to see this is beyond me, red and blue are both fairly just, poor games in all kinds of respects for speedruns

It's fun to see a game you played a lot get played real fast. Pokémon runs are also always teethering in the brink of implosion, I have no idea how anyone runs that poo poo.

As far as arpgs go I think a Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 speedrun would be cool

I think this might be a bit more fun if half the runners were on red and the other half were on blue.

I think it was in last years' ESA (European Speedster Assembly) they had two streams going on all the time, and one of them showed a Final Fantasy IX "speedrun" which was something like 9 hours. It was surprisingly entertaining, though, to pop in every once in a while. There were two guys running it and one guy giving commentary about the game and the series.

If it's not the only thing on, fair enough. If it is? Yeah...

FF9 was at AGDQ 2013, I think, where SpikeVegeta and puwexil ran it. If I remember right they split it up into two parts so it wasn't just 10 straight hours of the same game
