You can split kind of whenever. Most people will split on the mission complete screen at the end of every mission
Especially after I did a run on PCSX2 myself I saw a lot of inaccuracies in EXP and enemy behavior
the reason that those emulators are banned is because there has been a lot of proven points to show that they do not emulate the game accurately. We do not want to have an emulation on the board that has been proven to be inaccurate. Running on Dolphin won't give you any major difference from PCSX2 in fact it would only save you time since you canno skip the FMV cutscenes on it then on Dolphin
There is no autosplitter for this game it is all manual. We would love an autosplitter but no one has taken the time to make one/get one to work
My only thing with this is either way you have to play the tutorial. It doesn't matter whether it is done in the menu or not so it either is a two minute time save that makes resets the worst thing in the world or the run doesn't really change. It doesn't matter to me either way
In case people were curious this game is backwards compatible on newer Xbox Consoles (XboxOne Series S/X). I HIGHLY recommend running this version because of these load comparisons between Xbox one and PS2
you can go in and retime them pretty easily. just add the time that would be added to the beginning and end of the run
oh snap IL runs are here PogChamp
The cutscene skip is only GCN viable
The struggle with level leaderboards is upgrades. You would have it all set up as NG+ for ILs instead of what you would have in a NMS run
That's where the Southern Gate Genocide run on the CE board is good
Those can be interesting runs for sure but to be honest they really are not all that different from the sections you do them as in any% so I struggle to make them official categories
The discord link on the side of the leaderboard is now updated. What are you refferring to with TLODR? the Discord to the side is all Lord of the Rings games I am not sure what TLODR is
You can also run any of the other categories on BCPS3 you are just at a disadvantage due to cutscenes. If you want to be competitive GCN is going to be the fastest version of the game
Hello, Excellent question.
For the glitch to skip cutscenes that is a GCN exclusive as far as we know. You are free to run Isildur on BCPS3 if you so choose.
I updated the link so it should work now. Any other questions you may have you can ask there!!!
Hello friends, we have created a racetime page in order to organize racing and ranking within our community outside of the WR and top times. If you guys would like to check it out you can see it here
