No idea why this thread has such a negative connotation. We created a glitchless category to this game because every game in the series has a glitchless category.
Is there currently a difference between any% and glitchless? If not i don't see why there's a seperate category for what's basically any%.
I would look for a difference myself but i cant be fucked sitting through 8 hours of what a runner has described as basically a movie.
No need for negativity, there's an exploit for unlimited XP and Hacksilver so that would usually warrant separate categories but it could be patched out soon so who knows, see what the community decides.
It's so early on that it doesn't matter that much, It's simple for mods to just move around runs if necessary. If the game ends up having almost no glitches and the very few existing ones get removed with patches, yeah, we could just get rid off the glitchless category and find some other solution. Maybe there is just one specific glitch that defines the run and we end up with a separate category that specifically bans that glitch. Or we just separate runs through the patch they were done on.
tl;dr: At this point, the best thing we can do is just wait in what direction speedrunning for this game goes and then organize the leaderboard accordingly.
Recently with the arrival of PC, we have managed to have an AutoSplitter and LoadRemover made by the community, but console runners would still have problems. So it is mandatory from now on to always have a timer present on the screen since any run that does not have a timer will be rejected withou
