Texas, USADitto for what icefire said. A few things to add:
Segmented:
- Include 21% that has video ONLY. (If I'm not mistaken, that's in the rules for submission anyways...)
- Minus the older runs, any new segmented runs of ANY category should require video proof. (Up to a certain point, up for moderator's discretion.)
Individual Levels for segments has too much variance outside of Frigate and maybe final bosses? There's a lot to look in to for ILs.
Is there a TAS scene around? If so, where can I find some info about it?
Sorry, I'm probably not going to run this game. Here's what I have of the route I made. http://pastebin.com/B9SegJEE
it would be faster to fast travel away and then back to force a buzzer spawn.
This brings up the point of making a segmented run category. With the ability to actually use the IGT, this would only make sense.
I still haven't finished routing. Looking at finishing it this weekend and possibly doing a run. I might need to do a lot of practice first.
Dying and restarting that glide wouldn't be worth using 6 minutes earlier in the run tbh. I guess if you did want to play it safe you could though.
Sounds like it would waste way too much time to be useful. Is there really a risk of dying if your aim doesn't suck?
You keep the invincibility glitch throughout the rest of the game?
I'm locked down with school and work for this week but during the weekend I'll try to finish the route, clean it up, and release it here.
It wouldn't be faster as you would have to start over The round.
Given the IGT isn't accurate, segmented runs won't make sense. @SlayerofBabies, do you have proof that the IGT is not accurate? What makes it inaccurate?
If the IGT is actually accurate, segmented runs would be hella cool.
So I've routed all of the Prologue, Act I, and a little bit of Act II. I won't release everything until it's complete and formatted (right now it's just a list of instructions poorly worded and organized). Lot's of interesting options in this game. Controlling vehicles at full speed while dodging trees is fun :)
Pitzen please document anything you find. It's hard enough starting from scratch >_>
Anyways, I still believe video should be required for record runs. Removing Ghostscit's run should be motivation enough for him to do / record another...
I finished the game last night. I will be looking into a route very shortly. I will be timing a lot of different things such as golden path missions (would it be faster to do Sabal's mission or Amita's?).
I haven't really found a fast way to move without vehicles / wingsuit. Focus syringes make you move faster which is very important for missions where you will be on foot for a long time.
Excited to run this.
Yea I was looking in to running this game. I was going to make my own route / document it as well. A write up of tech would be nice.
If you stop it becomes a segmented run. But, given that the IGT is accurate, doesn't sound like an issue to me.
I find that insanely hard to believe how you don't think your run can be beaten. There's no way you optimized the whole thing.
Honestly, the fastest run WITH video proof should be in 1st. If someone beat my (theoretical) time I would want to see a video.
It would also be nice to not have a time that is 2 hours slower to learn off of..
Are there any resources or documentation of tricks?
Agreed. I want to learn this game and feel like videos should be required.
Is there a route or database of any kind?
