I do find it amusing that's what is intended to be an anti-cheese mechanic ends up being the fastest way to kill the dragon.

That was immediately after Doom Eternal. Virtually any game would be "low energy" compared to that.

Internet Kraken posted:All I'm wondering is what they're gonna pull out to keep up donation hype during the 5 hours of pokemon I for one am going to settle in for another five hours of watching two Pokemon look at each other HP bars go down.  Fine - this game sold like fifteen million copies and I guess people want to see it run. I am twenty five years too old for any of this.

I mean ending on a big RPG run used to be tradition but yeah I can't exactly say its been thrilling so far. I wonder if there are even any major skips or if this is just the linear story content moved through as quickly as possible Oh well, it makes good background noise for drawing, and that's all I really need.

I think the only GDQ "end on an RPG" that jived for me was Super Mario RPG. That game is just kinda interesting regardless, and I remember the runner/couch having a good dynamic.

I really liked the one that ended with Undertale, that was maybe the most hyped I've ever been during GDQ. Otherwise, yeah, I'm not a fan of long RPG runs ending GDQs. RPGs don't usually make terribly interesting speedruns, to me, so unless they're really broken or I have some sort of nostalgia for the game, I don't watch em. The Undertale run worked cause it was like less than an hour and the runner and couch were super engaging.

i thought i didn't like long rpg speedruns and then i finally sat down and watched a few in vod form where i could pause and restart and take my time watching & turns out some of them can be really entertaining the ones where they have to count steps for the entirety of the runs to rng manip random battles away are wild

The one that ended with Chrono Trigger was good for me despite having zero emotional attachment to that game. It was interesting to see run though, and the hype of one million was really exciting. To me my favorite GDQ ending was still the one where they randomly went "hey if you guys donate enough we'll do a SM64 70 star race" or something and that was an awesome treat.

also the long rpgs at the end of the marathon usually have a ton of naming incentives for people to funnel money into which raise kind of a hilarious amount of money plus (though this is more of a thing for the in-person GDQs) it gives people time to rest and be up for the finale which a lot of people don't want to miss, especially when there's a ton of hype leading up to setting a new goal

Undertale was good but I liked the Chrono Trigger finale as well. This is.......not a good final run considering how easy the game is and how little you actually do in terms of speed tech.

the runners have explained a few times this game has been a challenge to route and has many different options for how you approach it which has only made it more complex lol

The chrono trigger finale was the best I've seen, probably because I have such nostalgia for the game but also because the runner was so chill and pleasant to watch and even the glitchless runs of that game are like non-stop routing optimisations and speed tech.

Even if it took them a long time to figure out how to min/max the game as quickly and efficiently as possible, that doesn't make it entertaining for people to watch. But pretty much all Pokemon runs are like this so

drat, dowsing rods. I am getting really mad now because we hired a dude (at CEO insistence) to find oil. They moved the well like 40 feet, which is in the range of the random drift of drilling one.
