Didn't Nier Automata get run within months of coming out?

JonTron was kept in A Hat In Time, more proof that that game is better because oh boy did Yooka Laylee make a big unnecessary shitstorm thrusting itself into that bullshit. A Hat In Time didn't do poo poo, didn't say poo poo and no one gave a poo poo. surprise (before someone gets up my rear end in a top hat jontron's is a stupid god drat idiot but makes good videos)

It's pretty good too but I think the Genesis version has more recognizable punch. At least it's not as bad as the jump from Genesis to Sega CD Ecco the Dolphin OSTs.

That run almost made Yooka-Laylee look like a fun game but then all the bits like standing around waiting for energy to recharge during the 4th phase of a boss or unskippable trivia sections rear up for why it is a bad game.

Yooka-Laylee is actually a pretty fun game and the quizzes take up maybe 2 minutes total of a ~14-hour game if you're going for 100% completion. Energy isn't ever really an issue because you're getting upgrades when playing casually.

edit: I played the PC version that the devs made, not the console ports with poo poo frame rates

The deadline for submissions was after BotW was released. For AGDQ I think the cutoff was September or early October, right before Mario released.

True, fair, I just don't think it's unreasonable for them to throw in a surprise run of it on the last day. I'm 100% certain there are some of the better Odyssey runners at the event who could do it.

If not, my guess is like a longer category will close out SGDQ this year.

I played a launch version and hooooooooboy no.

I know they unfucked the camera tremendously since I played it but there are just so many little annoyances in it I'd be surprised if they got them all. They might have though.

I have no idea what the logistics are like for a marathon, but I imagine they're pretty strict on the deadline. But they do have some impromptu runs added via incentives.

I'm surprised with how big GDQ is getting that there's no consistent lineup made with who runs tech and audio and all that. I guess since it's still mainly volunteer that makes it less concrete but man.

Also first days tend to be okay-ish in game quality most of the time.

The hat in time creator is a doxxing, plagiarizing piece of garbage. No poo poo he left JonTron in the game.

They have a couple of set-up blocks to deal with stream issues and game overruns, its why they can sometimes squeeze extra games in near the end, so who knows.

That said an Odyssey 100% run would be rawest of agony.
