So today I installed the game again to try speedrunning it again. While watching the wr I see how he, in a cutscene, pauses the game and starts moving in game while the cutscene is playing. How is that not considered a glitch and why? I mean, its not clipping through walls or indoors flying but, I just dont get it
So, according to the category rules I can clip over all the walls I find and that would be ok. I dont understand which part of major glitches is considered major. The pause glitch gives quite the advantage to someone that doesnt do any glitches.
Ferox summarized it pretty well. We do not have any glitchless category and from what I know also do not plan on creating one as the gameplay itself would only differ by a smidge compared to the NMG category. The community decided on what would be considered a major glitch. The cutscene glitches only allow you to gain about 6-8 seconds over a full run which is not much, hence it is allowed in our current ruleset. It also does not involve trying to break the game calculations as we do it with the indoor flying. It is just a input flag that the devs have forgotten to set on certain cutscenes , hence a "minor" glitch.
And for this:
So, according to the category rules I can clip over all the walls I find and that would be ok. I personally do not feel like this would be allowed as it skips world barriers/walls which would play into the definition of "out of bounds" or "out of playable bounds". We would need a community vote on that though; so far this probable case has not been discussed as far as I know.
Best regards
