Did I just read that a slower strat is banned? Btw Hi, I've come back from the dead.

People are bothered about inventory and menuing between the parts of the gameplay that actually matter

and ignoring the fact that NG SS and NG+ SS HAS to have continuity between chapters for timing regardless of whether you open inventory or not.

just go IGT for everything, don't ban chapter intermission inventories, and ban mid-level restarts/checkpoint warping for SS runs. this is ridiculous and overcomplicates for no reason. The game gives you a time, the timer's consistent. Some IGTs just omit inventory screens (like with Silent Hill). The developers made RE5's IGT the way it is specifically so people wouldn't have to worry about that shit when competing on the leaderboards and (sans checkpoint glitch) it worked out fine.

Why overcomplicate it? The game just hands it off to players on a silver platter.

I personally agree with Carci. Would people like it if we allowed inventory management and switched NG over to IGT?

Edit: typo

NG is RTA

Isn't NG RTA only anyways?

My bad

I personally think RTA is fine because theres no way to have sketchy times if you were to just time it the same way everyone does.

So what specifically does everyone want?

I mean the only reason NG would be RTA is for load times and chapter intermission inventory anyhow. I don't see a reason to go out of the way to make any kind of special timing ruling for such a banal section of "gameplay".

R T A FOR P C runs thank you!

So Zenix, you want RTA for PC runs only? NG and NG+? What about console?

Keep PC and console entirely separated (as it should be). I think IGT makes sense for every console run though.

In order to do that we would need to create sub categories for each platform and then have the 4 difficulty sub-sub categories. And then we would need to have even more rules for each platform.

See how are you holding back the PC version applying the same rules as the console counterparts? That's the whole point of this!

Yes, I'm going to be honest because you can't understand the logic between speedrunning and having different versions to run.

why do you want to do RTA for PC exactly Zenix? I personally don't see why it would be a problem to just do IGT since it doesn't seem like the IGT is actually affected by framerate.

Because if IGT is a problem running with unlocked framerates (which is faster) and we have a functioning load remover tool for RTA why we bother with IGT timing?

Care to explain that?
