The trick with the first Advance Wars is that the AI priorities attacking APC units even if there are no infantry units inside them. So you can use them to trick the AI into attacking the APC instead of the unit that is capturing their HQ.

Nah, the port has a way better FOV than the old ones. The original versions were definitely hard to look at for too long, though.

Anyone speedrunning the new Hitman game? First game I'm getting into for speedrunning! I like runs that make no sense the first time you see them. Want to do a video series breaking down runs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3BJibwP3ts They just announced pro mode for next week though, so I'll probably wait for that before trying to do more.

SuccinctAndPunchy posted:Well, pretty much the only way to get a speedrun route off the ground is just to try and do it shittily and see what you can do better. Day 1 speedruns are always gonna look a bit poo poo and half-assed for this reason, but it's just what the start of the process looks like. No reason not to begin just because it's close to release and all that. It's not about starting the speedrun I suppose, but it's more about when it begins. I just feel like you have way more things you can do besides learning to speedrun a game on the first day it's released, like give it a loving chance to breathe.

Dizz posted:I just feel it goes in the same category as youtube LPers who do start LPs on a brand new game day 1 for obvious reasons. In some cases with lpers, in particular the super best friends, they want to do an lp of a new game because they want to play the game themselves but also they want to do a "genuine" run of it as an lp on their channel. In sbf's case, the best example is that they did an lp of metal gear rising where both had played the game beforehand. This led to a kind of bad lp vs if they had gone in blind, they knew the hilarious bullshit happening beforehand and their reactions were fake as hell vs if it was blind, and there was a fairly negative reaction from viewers based on that. So it seems like they try to do blind runs ever since(or have the person on the controls be going in blind), but also stuff like resident evil 7 or persona 5 are games they want to play personally, so they just kill two birds with one stone by doing it as an lp at the same time. That's obviously not how all lpers work, the more clickbaity ones just do it for m-m-m-maximum views

this is only sort of speedrun related but like two years ago I won a contest for freedom planet speedrunning and I have only just now received the prize a plastic, hollow, cheap feeling dead-eyed Lilac that broke in the mail and I had to glue to head back on with a reminder that I was good about 2 years ago but aren't anymore. This is an extremely robust metaphor for my entire FP speedrunning career. You are all free to laugh at me.

Those are all good examples of good speedgames that came out recently I was talking about stuff like lovely planet and seum and Just search the steam store for games with "speedrunner's dream" in the description. Stuff where the entire point of the game is time trials.

None of that's a surprise. Games which are designed around time trials just aren't very popular at all, compared to all the other themes you might see. They also tend to be quite focused and tightly designed, which cuts out a fair bit of potential for doing crazy things, meaning runs are really only impressive looking to people who are already familiar with the game. You can't expect a very niche style of game with limited appeal to outsiders to draw a community in the game way you'd expect something that says Mario on the box, or that gives you visible loving around potential on the level of Dishonored.

Individual Level runs are loving annoying and don't make for especially compelling viewing in the speedrun community either because it's tons of little runs instead of one bigger cooler run. I say this as someone who runs Freedom Planet, which sits somewhere in the middle on that spectrum. It does at least have a full game run to show, but the several hundred hours spent doing ILs to be good enough at the full game run are pretty loving unwatchable and not interesting to most people and probably put tons of people off the game. Nothing to be done for it, really.

SeXReX posted:Stuff where the entire point of the game is time trials. I can't speak for other people, but games designed to be time trials where everything but the ability to move fast is removed are kind of boring to watch as speedruns. A speedrun of a racing game or one of those "go fast wall jump" platformers is almost indistinguishable from an LP. I find speedruns much more entertaining when you can see how the game is being played in a way that is almost unintended, glitches or no. chiefnewo fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jan 30, 2017 |

Does DK64 not have any sort of in-game % counter or even indication of how many pickups there are in the game? That's pretty amazing stuff.

Rainbow Coins aren't tracked by the caps-at-101 percent counter. This doesn't affect 101% records but does invalidate All Collectibles.
