So, what could we submit GTA2 related for the event?
My idea was to do 3-way race(me, Tez, Word) of any% or Wang cars or both plus downtown all mission solo run(done either by Tez or Word, possibly me if I learn it before marathon and get respectable time). All this can be done in under 2h, so I think it could be easy fit for marathon.
What do you think? Any other ideas?
You guys could submit an all mission relay run. Each of you do all missions of one town. So we see more than downtown.
That's why I didn't suggest all missions all levels, but marathon is in April, so I guess we could learn that before that, one level each runner. Problem with that is All mission is kinda hard, so it might end up being not so good idea for marathon As for Wang Cars - it's a meme category and speedruns ultimately boil down to memes. Plus I expect meme categories of other games
any% race sounds like a bad idea cause I'm not gonna do current strats, that's just boring and not fun to watch even as a race. all missions DT race is a good thing, so learn it I'm up.
Hi, casual viewer here. IMO, All Missions wouldn't be interesting to watch as a race. Especially for a sandbox game where most of the viewers aren't really familiar with. There'll be a lot of things going on at the same time, commentary won't be focused and viewers won't understand what's going on.
If it's only run by a single runner, it could be really fun to watch though. Commentary will be clear and it'll be much easier for viewers to follow.
Just my two cents as a viewer, hope All Missions will also be in for this marathon. gl to you guys ^^.
What kind of ideas for a bingo would you have btw? Some things I can think of:
- get all tokens
- complete all frenzies (or maybe some specific like tank frenzies)
- complete all x gang missions
- get the x bonus (x is one of the 11 possible bonuses)
- collect all wang cars (only residential)
- crush certain cars (either for a certain power-up/weapon or maybe rare cars like A-Type in downtown)
- get a Benson in industrial or downtown (in some missions where the enemy is set to chase you down, the standard car they are spawned with is the brown Benson after you shake them the first time. Note there are no parked Bensons or in traffic in those districts.)
- get x amount of points
- get a unique vehicle (bullet/rocket proof garbage truck in Industrial, black meteor/miara in some final missions ))
- complete some hard missions the intended way (for example "Penal Ties" in residential)
- complete a mission in a "fun" way (like chosing the panto for the race in "We love you granpa" in residential)
- get maximum respect for each gang
- earn x $ with the taxi
- roundtrip on the train
- unlock the dementia limousine (completing "dimentia to go" in downtown)
your list is amasing so I'll add more -do ee glitch, whereever, just make it happen -get all multipliers on map -complete Downtown with standart multiplier on Tank -get 420 score points for one action -get flyglitch -complete "Armored Car Clash" in downtown with 1 explosion (damn that sounds fun) -complete any% BUT exit each district with double amount of money needed (2,6,10 instead of 1,3,5) or split this, I don't know/care -get out of bounds and survive -hit the world roof (wind made that happen I guess) -complete "The Final Job!" in any district (sounds horrible, but bingos shouldn't be short, so if lines kinda help with it, it might be alright) -get minimal respect for each gang (not sure if that is possible unlike max) -survive x minutes with 6 wanted level -do extra missions (can't tell what challanges you can add to those) -go from 0 to 6 wanted level with ONE "electrofinges" power-up -do OLD industrial route
About some of your ideas:
- minimum respect is only possible with cheats. Any action against one gang (kill gang member, steal/crush gang car, complete mission for rival gang) will always raise a rival gangs respect.
- complete all final jobs is like doing a full all mission run, that would take me 3 hours if I have no mistakes so it is unrealistic even for a bingo imo.
- complete "armored car clash" with one explosion? Damn, only when the stars (the miaras) align maybe.. :D
- I also need to correct myself with the benson in downtown/industrial, the only reliable mission that always spawned it for me is the Zaibatsu mission "Lock-out!" in industrial, in other missions they mostly take some random traffic cars, although "Final Job!" often spawns it too.
The rest sounds pretty good. About the extra missions, you mean those bonus stages I assume? A challenge would be to get the max rank in those and some of them might be a bit tough to get, so it might be a good idea. You would need to decide if you want to start with all levels unlocked or from an empty slot.
I will create a topic with info about bonuses and car crush rewards because there doesn´t seem to exist any reliable info about them. The wikis have dozens of mistakes.
