Hello! What is the diference between "real time" and "in game time"? You guys look at the real game time to make the leaderboard, right?

thx! But dou you know why the moderators use the real time to make the leaderboard? see, I got third place in game time, but they placed me in 7th because my real time.:/

And whether or not a leaderboard goes by RTA or IGT depends on the game, and for various reasons.

EDIT: so, you should ask the mods of whichever game you are asking about, or post in the forums on the game's page.

Sometimes IGT isn't accurate enough (doesn't count dialogs, cutscenes, opening doors, etc), wich is why most of the time people will use RTA instead.
