King's Quest and Adventure Game fan. King's Quest V sucks rear end. KQVI is alright? Like it's a fantastic classic adventure game, but classic adventure games are... not good. KQV is a worse KQVI where an annoying owl does nothing and Graham gets his rear end kicked and walking deaded in a million different ways.
Fair enough and I certainly agree that the 'classic' (say like 80's through mid-90's) adventure games are not good games. Having played all of them as a kid though, I've just never really seen KQ5 as much worse than any of the others. The me of today certainly wouldn't want to replay it...but that would apply to basically every adventure game before around 1995 or so.

King's Quest 5 is the PC CD version and is listed as CD Audio Showcase rather than a speedrun.

The CD audio absolutely belongs in the 'bad' bin. Especially if they're doing what I think they're doing with it. There's a bug that really messes it up, but in a funny way.

Big Bad Gameathon rules and has a lot of highly entertaining runners. Secret of the Stars was hilarious when Pa Sama ran it in RPG Limit Break a few years ago and I'll definitely watch that as a finale. I will never forget Catboo

All the KQ games were awful, but KQ5 was peak "this puzzle has four different solutions, but three of them will cause the game to be unwinnable and/or kill you outright 3+ hours from now and it won't even be clear why" for the series. It definitely belongs there.

With a bonus side of not understanding which item would have been helpful when you died so you can at least bring that one next time. Who knew custard pies were so useful against yetis?

GDQ got me in the mood for some speedrunning, so I did my first Bionic Commando run in a little while. I was thinking it'd just be a warmup run and didn't bother recording video, so of course I end up PB'ing by almost 2 minutes.

I'm too old to bury my son!

So six years ago I set a world record in Candy Box 2 (game found here) https://candybox2.wordpress.com/

Every year or so since someone or a few people have submitted speedruns, but my record only got beat once in 2019, and I got it back in a single attempt, then got my first sub 15 on my very second attempt. Then the record stood dormant for another nearly 2 years until Jeet got the first sub 14 with a 13:59

This was a huge RNG fest struggle, and took four solid days of attempts, sometimes 12 hour sessions.

I'm glad they have NMG runs of these games since glitch runs or arbitrary code execution is boring as hell from a speedrun entertainment perspective.

your post execution is boring as hell from a speedrun entertainment perspective pal

Anyway, a key point is that this is being done on Master Quest for gamecube, not the original N64. It's a different thing.

I think it depends if you're into watching someone ACE and are into the technical skill and know-how that goes into it or if you really just want to watch someone go fast.

Watching someone do what seems to be a random series of actions and then warp to the credits is pretty boring if you don't understand how it happens.

I mean yeah but the 'entertainment speedrun' venues specifically have commentators to explain what's happening, regardless of its a glitches run or not.

It's a progressive jazz situation where you're either into it or watching someone torture a music store.

I'm with the first guy. I remember heaving a sigh of relief when the Super Metroid statue skip was first done in realtime and the community said, "Yup, that's a thing." and promptly went back to regular any%.
