The first game wasn't on speedrun.com until recently. It also only has one category, and doesn't have much potential for more. Realistically you can have any%, 100%, and then max time in survival, battleground, watch your step, and dagger master. 6 categories isn't really a lot.
So, I'm pretty sure that the hardcore setting doesn't affect the challenges, so I think the category is kind of redundant. I didn't just want to ignore it though, so I did a quick 100k and left it there, since I didn't want to spend too much time on it.
thanks.
to be honest I thought I was the perfectionist. I only made it a minute longer than the second place run but I more than tripled the score. I think if I tried to hit every single one I would never make it past 100k lol
