Hello, Well everything is in the title. Is it allowed to use the mission unlock (by going to the base, go to choose a mission, select the last mission and say yes) and basically skip the whole game? Thank you in advance!
No that is not allowed, not even for NG+ which states you must play through all the missions, Campaign Any% requires you to start from a fresh save as well
Okay thanks for the precision. I'd still be interested in running the regular Any% category and maybe running Any% using Mission Unlock. Any chance to get the category added?
To me that'd pretty much basically be like doing an IL for the final mission of the game if you were to just skip every other mission in the game, I don't see that being a worthy category to add
Alright no problem, I'll be running it tomorrow and I'll submit. I completely understand your concerns as I am also modding a game and I'm having the same issues. Thanks
Also it is pretty different than an IL as you have no other cyberkernel than the 3 basic ones, and no double jump etc. And without sensory buffer, the mission is actually much harder than it looks.
Ahhh I see I wasn't aware you'd be going barebones, yeah I'd like to see a run of that just post it here in this thread once you do and I'll check it ASAP
Well there you go. The run wasn't great, the beginning was kinda bad, the "trials" were good though.
I just got a 22:21. So I guess I have also beaten Life IL world record as well. Currently uploading the video. EDIT: Here's the video.
Missed the notification for this thread my bad, I'll make it a misc. category no biggie, I'm guessing it should be called Any% (Skips Allowed)? Thoughts? I'm just gonna add it with that name now and change it if anyone has a better idea for it, precisely what would the ruleset be as well, it's RTA and from an existing save file I know that much, and involves going to the last mission
I'm fine with Any% (Skips allowed). I think the rules should be : start a new campaign as any difficulty. Skipping missions using the mission select menu is allowed. The run ends when you tell your name at Life.
I don't know if you can really call this a "skip" sure I guess technically you're skipping all the other missions but often a skip in speedruning has something to do with a sequence break or something. You are literally just loading the campaign from the last mission. Why isn't that just an IL?
Because in an IL you would have all the equipment/classes adapted to the mission. In this case, you only get the choice to use the predefined class or one of the five bad custom classes. That's why this is a separate category, even though I still find this mission's IL interesting.
