HungaryIn my opinion a Cheats% category should only official cheats that are in the game, (could be restricted to ban speedup/slowdown cheats but let's not get into that right now), no trainers, hotkey scripts or memory manipulation tools as these go beyond what the name 'Cheats%' suggests.
From the parts I've seen in the video your usage of cheats only made the run longer than a regular No SSU run would take so I don't really see how it could grab the attention of people. Maybe if you had planned it ahead and put some routing into it (when to use which cheat) it would have been interesting, but as it is right now it appears to be an idea presented without putting any thoughts behind it.
So we've discussed the idea of this a few weeks ago. For those who don't know, I suggested that we reate segmented categories for VCS on the Extension Boards like for SA.
This way, runners who have had a very good first half of their runs but the second part killed it, or just don't want to run the game in its entireity (in 1 go) will have a place to submit their results.
Here are a few suggestions to break the game up: VERSION A:
- Chapter I: from New Game to the completion of 'To Victor, the Spoils'
- Chapter II: from Empire Site #2 (where you appear after Chapter I) to the completion of 'From Zero to Hero'
- Chapter III: from starting 'Brawn of the Dead' (with no Empire sites taken over on Vice Beach) to Any% completion VERSION B:
- Chapters I-II: from New Game to the completion of 'From Zero to Hero'
- Chapter III as defined in Version A
Either way, strats that are not applicable for a full Any% should not be allowed.
What do you guys think? Would there be demand for this?
