i have to imagine outer worlds is pretty broken because it's obsidian and because it's lower budget

it's actually substantially less broken than any of the fallout/skyrim games, the any% run is pretty tame by comparison

That entire Fallout section might have been one of the best speedruns they have ever had.

it's a top 5 run for sure, dude knew how to play an audience and managed to get a bunch of hilarious off-the-rails moments

Man. that fallout speedrun though, that was epic. definitely on my list of "Best gdq runs". doesn't quiiiiite beat the deus ex run from a few years ago for me, but its close.

gonna be honest a wilds speedrun would probably be really boring because the nature of the game means "skipping to the end" is kind of irrelevant

yeah just from what i know about the concept of the game im guessing it would probabbly be like the gone home speedrun or something

That sequence break of just that guy to open the door in The Outer Worlds is great

Also the speedrunner who is doing this has a voice that makes me think he would say "hmelly" instead of "smelly"

gone home...speedrun? but..why. i mean i guess speedrunners will speedrun every game possible, but...that sounds dreadful. (i did really enjoy gone home, couldnt imagine a speedrun of it being interesting..)

Okay, I just got home and only caught the last five minutes of that run but this whole evening block looks incredible. Outer Worlds, Amid Evil, Doom '16 100%?

Time to get comfy.

Unless all of those runs are amazing they wont match up to the run you just missed

pretty good run, though it's admittedly hard to follow up on the fallout anthology

sometimes a speedrun is less enjoyable as a viewing experience and more as a theorycrafting exercise and all that

that's why people do runs of games that traditionally would seem quite boring, because it is funny to people who do this sort of thing too much to try and apply speedrun concepts to games like that. and hey, sometimes you get comedy gold like Myst, but not every time. It's an experiment, they don't all work out.

well you'd know more than anyone, you can take a great plot-heavy experience like silent hill 2, and make it hilarious by speedrunning it. Myst at least has a lot of puzzles and stuff..gone home is basically like reading a book, but you have to walk from page to page. but yeah, i get it.
