where I get busted on 99 red balloons

hello, this is known and is actually used for all rampages because you can do rampages without needing to do the first mission.

Just wondering, if you have the view distance low (1), would you be able to see the bush?

Reminder this should still be added, I'm sure even Kyle without knowing it wants this variable to be on the leaderboard because "(frame limiting wasn't used)" was included in the comment of his new PB. It really should be added.

I think it's 32 players for GTAO

For the after party, which GTA would you guys want to play online?

MTA has been the finale for 2 years now, I would like to think this is because GTAV wasn't out on PC at the time but it's really up to you guys if you wanna bring back MTA or move to GTAO.

I don't really know enough about MTA because I haven't played it so let me know.

A: MTA B: GTAO

Hey all, GTAM 2016 is coming up and I'm just wondering if you guys wanna move to Discord for this marathon over mumble?

I've heard some say Discord is simple and a lot of people only come on to the mumble for the marathon so might be worth going a simple route this time around.

Let me know what you think:

A: Mumble B: Discord

Hey, I'm sure someone will add this, I think you should to provide a list of all these missions though.

How does it make it more complicated exactly? The reason why this is important is the same reason we have version different for VC, int vs japanese version. The same reason we had runner say what frame rate they have on SA (when that was a thing).

Other PC games have these kind of variables for third party software and I don't think hurts it in anyway?

I don't wanna be that guy who says "WE SHOULD ADD LOTS OF VARIABLES" but do you guys think there should be a variable for when you submit a time that is a simple YES or NO, "Did you use any 3rd party software to limit frame rate?"

idk I feel it is important to know for the leaderboard tbh

A new GTAM for 2016 would be good however with this GTA3 tourney possibly happening, I think it would be best to hold off on any GTA marathon until the summer. Before or after ESA would be good. I would offer to help with anything, except restreaming.

Look you can have all the fun you want but we're not adding new categories for stuff like this.

I think even without the dodo, any% can be sub 1:20.

Check Adam's old PB

He uses the dodo for flying to A-B, he doesn't use many dodo strats. So dodo bait is missing, start of dodo E2G, doesn't fly to the dam and doesn't use the dodo for the final mission. This was in 2013 and still got sub 1:20.

EDIT: inb4 no dodo and no duping category, please reread this post if this comes up.

DOUBLE EDIT: Also the dodo is fun, why would anyone want to run a category where you don't fly the dodo?

I did think that this would be the case but never tested it. Are you planning on doing 100%?

b) sorry if I misunderstood what is happening and I don't run the game so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I don't think you should be allowed to toggle from whatever FPS you want, PC games that I see have this allowed have it built in (half life etc...). GTA4 doesn't have this built in, you're forcing the game through 3rd party means to limit the frame rate even if the software is "OFFICIAL".

I understand that forcing vsync in game makes the loading screens really long, but I think the better solution is to just run the game with vsync off and suck it up. Not to mention find a way to have the frame rate drop below ~60 during waiting.

edit: reading what S put, it makes sense for the limiter to be added so you can use software but not allowed to toggle on and off, FPS would need to be displayed for future runs.

This has been discussed a lot in twitch chats when it happens and #GTA a few times, think this is the first time it is mentioned on the forums so it opens up what people think.

IMO a cheat is a cheat so it should make the run invalid however most of the cheats people enter is weather or car spawn cheats (no real gameplay advantage). So should it be allowed or not? Of course I don't think it does so it's up to you to continue the run or reset.

I know it really sucks when you're far in a run and you accidentally enter a cheat because of the stupid WASD placement. I know when I've seen a few runners enter a cheat during a run and just out right said "I'm not submitting this" if it is a pb for them.

Do runs is the obvious answer, practice a lot, over time you'll just get better at the game.

MH has been playing the game for a couple of years now and started around the same time as me, he obviously wasn't the best at the game but he practised a lot to get to where he is now.

I think you have to understand as well, US is much slower and harder, it isn't too late to learn the japanese strats for the game as it is easier and faster.

Once you get to a level where you think "I can't improve", watch the WR, compare what the WR does over you and think "ok I'll practice this segment", have realistic goals in mind.

If you have any specific questions, I'm sure I or something else will be able to answer.

It doesn't matter if people think duping is annoying, unstable whatever, it's a speedrun. The goal of a speedrun is to finish the game as fast as possible, using glitches, tricks whatever to do so. This isn't me backing up the community because I'm apart of it, this is me saying that speedrunning is about going fast.

Fact is: duping is fast so it shouldn't be removed from any%

I can't think of any case of duping a phone call. What probably happened is you ended the phone call at 20m early and you didn't notice because other phone calls took priority. It happens to everyone, just need to learn when the phone call actually ends as it repeats the phone call that didn't end correctly.
