Segmented run in progress (X360, Pal)
8 years ago
France

I already said that I forget sometimes to use it, I try to resolve this problem but this will take some time to change my habits. (After years of playing I tended to keep my nitro for when I really need it, like when I crash for example, but yeah this isn't the best here cause if all the resets ^^)

France

Part 3 (Vic #13) is done and ready to be watched in the 1st post.

France

No problem, you'll be able to catch up later ^^

Thanks you for the luck, I need it.

France

interesting fact : So as I saw when I was routing the game, you come back to heat 1 when you unlock Rockport, but right now I unlocked Camden Beach, and I stayed at heat level 2.

And by the way, Izzy's segment should be available tomorrow if nothing goes wrong.

Germany

Keep going the good work

France

Part 4 (Izzy #12) is done. You can see it in the first post.

France

Part 5 (Big Lou #11) is available.

Czech Republic

I've just seen it and Grim is right. Seven, unless there is no discontinuity (maybe bounty?), you should redo the entire #11 segment, because it's really messed up. Btw, why do you keep hitting rev limiter all the time?

Grim, you probably don't "feel" any style from Seven's run because it's segmented.

Czech Republic

Yes, you're mistaken. I did do one toilet break though.

Czech Republic

Did you seriously think that run is segmented? Oh my...

France

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ First of all, as I watched #11 this run should NEVER EVER get accepted - it's just completely f¤¤¤¤ up, there is no way I myself accepting this sort of segments. Why the hell do you start the #11 with 1 race completed? Why do you race it again? Why in the world some other completed events just suddenly appears to be uncompleted? Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not the way segmented run should be.

Second, some critics. You didn't tune your car: this is bad. Ask @eclipsx about what tuning can do to your times. I've helped him with that and he improved his times for from ~2 to ~5 seconds. Use it, this is a segmented run after all. Speedbreaker. WTF? You should never ever use it. I can accept it in a corner because of its weird physics, but in a drag race... No, just no.

And the last part. This part is just my opinion so don't take it too serious. Your driving is good, no doubt in that, but it's missing something. I don't know, but I get extremely bored watching you drive. I don't get that feeling when I watch Ewil's or eclipsx' runs, that's what called "style". They do have their particular style of racing, while you seem to miss it. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

  1. This is messy because of my recordings. It failed at some point and I had to cut out some parts. So the order of the tracks has been changed during the editing. that's why. No will of cheating or grinding money.

  2. I didn't tune my car at some point cause I have only transmission, as I made some tests, it's faster to keep racing like this than putting it. But it's really more efficient with the new engine gained after #12.

  3. Speedbreaker was used in the drag race cause otherwise I would crash in the truck. And going far to the left is too slow. Even if it's only a basic car on the right I keep crashing into it.

  4. My driving style? To understand well : I'm firstly a well-ranked driver on Forza Motorsport games, and I just drive it same. I try as most as possble to take good lines, and keep as much speed as possible. I just think this is a clean driving style with no useless things. But this is personnal tastes.

  5. The rev limiter? Same reason than previously. Sometimes it's faster to hit limiter than gear up.

So, well, I should say thanks for your comments, but now, what should I do? I mean, yes, I can do the #11 segment again, but I'll have to start a new career (X360 don't have quick saves and so on). And my bounty level won't be the same, but as I didn't uploaded #10 yet (planned to do it this night), it's ok. But if I begin another career, then it will take some time for me to catch up(but at least I already have my races done, just a few to do again seriously)

As I understand your reaction, it seems that you were expecting too much from me. I'm not perfect, I'm still really young in the world of speedrunning, I can make some mistakes.

So let me know what you would like me to do ( but I suppose I must restart a career), and I'll try to do my best to recover.

France

Stop saying that I used 2 profiles, or that I replayed a race, or another hypothesis like this, please.

This is already annoying enough for me. I know it's my mistake, but why would I try to f¤ck my speedrun for a few cash I don't even need?

The problem is only that I finished once the race, my recording failed and recovered it by changing track order. Nothing else, no intention of cheating or going faster.

Moreover, I did say that my glitch was useable only in circuits and knockouts, and at this point of the speedrun I didn't do any circuits apart the first one with rog and the ones during blacklist duels.

I'll start back another run then, that's all. Nothing to worry, I won't keep the actual.

Czech Republic

I'm sure nobody here thought that your intention was to cheat, but you have to realize there is simply too much discrepancy and people who won't know what's going on will be suspicious of your run. And you definitely don't want that, trust me. Segmented runs tend to have small discrepancy issues that can be explained, but I'm sorry, this is simply too much.

What I don't understand is why didn't you ask here if this is okay. As you said, you're new to speedrunning, so of course you will make some newbie mistakes, and if you just asked here somebody would surely tell you what to do.

The bigger issue is if you want to restart the career and continue from the problematic point. Wouldn't you have different money and bounty? That would be a huge discrepancy. Don't you have backup saves? I know you said you play on x360, but doesn't that come with hdd?

Maaan, I really liked your run. There is some debatable things like the speedbreaker or rev limiter, but it's a really good run anyway... this however ruined it :(

So what should you do? Someone more knowledgeable should explain here the differencies - if money matters, how much bounty matters and so on. If it's only a small margin that wouldn't give you any advantage, then you may just restart the run, copy exactly what you did before, and continue from #11... unless you have backup saves, which would be the easiest option.

If you can gain advantage (ie: have more bounty so you don't have to do a speedtrap), then this run is done and you can completely restart it.

France

I already understood this night that I had to restart my run. No problem it's the best to do. I don't have backup saves because one save can only be saved at one place. I can save for example apfter #12 on HDD, and after #11 on the cloud, but if I save again after #10 on the HDD this will be the only save I can reload.

I think I can use most of the races I've done before though. Bounty and cash amounts are seen only during menus, so I can cut it while editing. The only thing I'll have to do again are the pursuits, because yes, this is 100% RNG, so it's impossible to get exactly the same bounty.

Is this allowed? Or should I redo all the races too? (I plan on doing the drags again cause I messed them up though, and I can check the sprints in which I used speedbreaker).

Czech Republic

If you always get the same money and no bounty or heat, then I think you can use old videos. Just make sure everything is in correct order. There simply has to be no discrepancies between segments.

France

I just thought that the heat won't probably be exactly the same, so to avoid this I'll re-record every race starting from the Sonny's one I see the cops.

EDIT : Sonny's segment will be available tomorrow, should be better. I found that I got 1500 extra cash in that segment the 1st time, for the same reasons than the #11 segment.

France

New #15 is uploaded.

This time it's faster then my previous segment, mostly due because of the pursuit chase that ended perfectly this time. I verified 3 times there is no mistake this time, so it should be ok.

France

New #14 is online.

I've found a new strat for the pursuit, which allowed me to gain nearly 1 minute.

Czech Republic

That happens almost everytime when you redo a segmented run :)

France

I'm currently doing #13 videos, and I've just gained and incredible amount of time during the pursuit.

I can't say precisely, but I think I gained between 2:40 and 3 minutes. Incredible luck for the cops spawns, and a huge fail transformed in an epic win. Should be up for the 09 sept., I need to do duel races tomorrow.
