FF7 PC is already supposed to be capped at 30fps in fields, the problem was it was inconsistent. Not even necessarily due to a PC being more or less powerful, most people would just get something between 32 or 34 FPS because the framelimiter is bad. The FPS fix just makes absolute sure that you're only getting 30fps when you're supposed to.

Jabor posted:The PC version has a glitch that allows you to skip most of the game. (You'll note there's a separate category that doesn't allow that glitch, which has times on par with the console versions). There's also, by the way, an even faster and more glitchy way to beat the game where you abuse the game keeping data loaded to create a New Game+ state and teleport to the North Crater super quickly in less than 2 hours. Puwexil ran this a few years back at one of the GDQs. I think the run has been optimized quite a bit since then, but it still shows off the broad brushstrokes of the category well enough if you're interested.

it's been linked before but one of the imo must-watch speedruns is during PJ's megaman marathon where he plays his original Megaman 2 cart. Start from the linked time and go, it's great https://www.twitch.tv/videos/476617614?t=0h39m50s

Kusogrande is great. Its basically awful block if it was a blind 2 or 4 way race with sports commentary by Brossentia and the usual suspects. Awful block this year was fantastic and it might have been greatest of all time if Bro had been able to make it. Animorphs into Hydlide into Hoshi was a killer lineup.

What category of speedrunning (if it even IS "speedrunning") do i search for if i want to see skilled players play through games at a quick/effective pace but not use tons of glitches or out of bounds or such? Particularly FPS games. Im not really looking for a lets-play with a streamer with a face cam interacting with his viewers a lot but more what it would look like if John Wick played through Half Life 2.

"Glitchless" and/or "no major glitches" are the categories you're looking for. Also look for games that don't have those categories, because in that case the regular main category probably doesn't involve much in the way of glitches.

There's also a Single Segment category in the Misc. drop-down but only one run listed. One other category name to look for would be something like No Major Glitches (NMG). Using Super Metroid as an example, there's any% NMG which has a record of 40m 56s and any% glitched at 11m 38s.

Great stuff, got lots to watch now  I get why speedrunners use all the various gitches and out of bounds and bunny hopping and jumping backwards etc, but i must be honest that it makes it a really poor medium to watch. It is much more fun to watch skilled players play through a game "the intended way" in an effective manner. Just my personal opinion of course.

Different strokes for different folks though, glitchless runs are cool too.

Which is perfectly fine, not every run needs to appeal to every viewer...but for new/unfamiliar viewers, something like any% can be less interesting or less impressive than a glitchless/no major glitches/whatever run.

MagusofStars posted:True, but that's also kind of the issue with runs that use a crazy amount of glitches: The further it gets from normal/casual gameplay, the less understandable it is to people who aren't extremely familiar with the game. Speaking as a programmer, sometimes that makes it more understandable, because I'll think, "Oh, of course doing (unexpected thing) would cause (ridiculous glitch), because they coded it to (do thing that sounds fine until someone does unexpected thing)." Which I often find fun to watch. Like, I absolutely understand how we got the glitch in the Fallout Anthology run from AGDQ2020 where you trick the game into letting you equip multiple pairs of pants at the same time to go faster. But the practical effect of missing a race condition during save/load to let a player stack the same conditional buff without triggering the debuff for cancelling the condition ends up being "wear 9 pairs of pants at the same time to run at the speed of a race car" and that's amazing.

i like glitchless myself too, esp for fps games as glitches used in those tend to be, get out of bounds and run in the void for 5 minutes to the end, which sucks to watch

i find it helps to remember that whatever they're doing is still being performed on a real console with just what you can do by pushing buttons on an actual controller. it might be unintended behavior, but it's far from cheating or playing illegitimately

Both can be interesting, and even some OoB runs are pretty cool, but yeah things like Halo and DOOM where every level is "yeah we just clip OoB here and run to the end" is disappointing, especially in a fast paced game like Doom where you go in expecting some hyper-optimized zombie killing.

I had this same problem while playing SimCity for SNES; I was super curious to learn what it'd look like to speedrun to Megalopolis, but every speedrun I found used a cheat to basically get infinite money. That's no fun!  But yeah, that's a nice thing about speedrunning: there's as many speedruns as there are games. Don't like a game's speedrun? Find another one more suited to your watching tastes!

i think high-tier glitching is a bit of a gimmick, and gimmicks are great a few times but they get old quick it helps when it's clearly presented as people having a good time messing around in a dumbass video game that's going insane as fast as the runners are

There's two ranges in my opinion, Glitchiness and (visible) Difficulty If something is Difficult, it's usually interesting to rewatch multiple times, regardless of glitches (Puchout, HL2 for example). If something is very glitchy, but not visibly super difficult, it's usually good for a one off (Fallout 3, A lot of OOB FPSs) If something is neither, it's a bad run (that might get held together by commentary)

HL2 us a good run. Using a glitch to skip the air boat means that there's now a bunch of cool bunnyhopping to do where previously, you had to bring the airboat. Also, if a game doesn't have a glitchless category, it's probably because the glitchless run isn't that interesting.
