good stuff, ya I didn't feel like ng+ would be a main category in this game, there are already so many categories with this game as it is, and it seems the standard difficulty ng will be popular

ya I can see these separate categories keeping at least most ppl happy, it's too bad we can't satisfy everyone's opinion with this but this is a good step

dude it's insane ppl are finding these huge out of bounds skips within a week lol, it's gonna make the glitched categories insane

ya I don't see a no item box category being that much different from the any% categories

ya this bug is quite annoying, very frustrating when u are in a run and it happens, u basically have to reset from there

^ ya there needs to be an easy way to set cap to 120 for everybody if we plan to do that

after reading everything above, I can definitely say that having the fps cap at 120 would be way better than 60

I can agree that setting fps at 60 is a bit low for pc, perhaps something needs to be changed with the categories. But capping at 120 fps requires a 3rd party source iirc. So idk honestly, but yes after thinking about it more I now see 60 fps being low.

Ya cuz I remember having my FPS capped to 60 and I used the knife and was still able to get a somewhat fast fight

What’s going to count as a major glitch then besides the knife strats for bosses? Also could u still use the knife strat for no major glitches except it’s just at 60 fps?

Ya that works

Although I don’t know much of the out of bounds, if OoB requires switching to low FPS then my opinion doesn’t work probably

In my opinion for two separate categories it should be a category limited to 60 fps (this will create fairness for everyone on pc and be able to have similar strats) and then the 2nd category can be any% (variable frame rate and anything goes) Although I feel like the downside to this is that the 60 FPS category would be less popular, making the runners in that category feel left out.

Not to mention the frame rate tied to damage will make a huge difference from console to pc since console has slower frame rate

When starting runs however u have to do a new game, no pre saves, and it’s all single segment

I’m assuming CS stands for cutscenes, and any cutscene that u can pause and skip will not make your run invalid

Sorry if this has been mentioned before in the forums but I wanted to bring this topic here. We have seen by now that more FPS does more dmg with knife and can make boss fights significantly easier. There could be other things in the future that also get affected by FPS but we just haven’t seen them yet. I was just wondering if it would be possible that categories get split based on FPS for pc since this can allow for different strats. This obviously isn’t quite important atm but wanted to hear thoughts on this.

wdym by important character animations, like cutscenes? puzzle interactions? movement? aiming? boss animations? There's more I think but I can't think of all of them atm

ya without video proof of the run, a screenshot wouldn't be much for it to be put up on the leaderboards

I think if you were to die on standard difficulty and it puts you back at the last auto save, the igt timer would track that death I am assuming, but on hardcore and you die by something, that's basically a reset, although hardcore is meant to be a tougher category to speedrun so you just gotta go into hardcore with the mindset of getting zero deaths from what it looks like.
