RussiaPretty late, but there are the results of things i've tested. I'll post some videos as well later on.
It exists for the same reason any other collectibles category in any other gta game exist - to learn packages locations and possibly practice for 100% runs this way. Even if it doesn't work this way most of the time, i don't see why categories like this or all missions shouldn't exist.
2 people apparently can't push category to the limit and make it more popular amongst others this way? Amazing logic tbh
If a person suddenly lost interest in at least giving a try to w/e misc. category just because it is misc. or became so then he most likely wasn't really interested in doing so to begin with. Can anyone explain to me why thing like that suddenly matters?
If my hardware would give me a chance to try All Missions then i'd most likely do so because that category seems quite interesting and i wouldn't care about it being misc. because it simply exists and that would've been enough for me already to give it a go whenever i'd feel like it.
Oh my, all that hype towards creating and running All Missions in SA went to nothing because some people wouldn't get their e-achievements acknowledged by other people who are too smart to find and press that "Show misc categories" button? Woah, man, never could've seen that coming! Better contact guinness book of records before it's too late, fam. Just think about all the fame and mad cash! ffzSmoothMove #MakeGtaSpeedrunningGreatAgain
CTW hundo? Well then, have fun with those awful races and some other bad side stuff that R¤ came up with :^) Anyway, this rey guy is inactive, so somebody got to do his """"job"""", you know.
As for that "set seed" mess, my opinion is that either "AM (set seed)" belongs to misc categories (because whole AM segment after any% part can't be "set", i believe) or both it and "any% set seed" are, since the whole concept of "set seed" is just incredibly dull and ruins any kind of competition as i see it. (and if it'll ever be run by anyone it might look unappealing since it'd be "any% let's look for best seed to have equal times at" unless spawn points can be different which isn't much better imo) Hiding one or two of those would be great because then you can add non-dlc "all bosses" category back to main ones since i find it being more relevant than any "set seed" stuff. And no, i think "all bosses" (or anything else) don't need "set seed" additions because i don't think "set seed" implies that all bosses would spawn at the same places and times of day every time, but even if they do that's just not that kind of category that should be main one. Or you can make those additions if you want, but make those being misc ones to avoid having tons of irrelevant main categories.
Hey there, agjents, cool to see that at least somebody is looking for this leaderboard. If you'd have time maybe you should apply for super mod status for this game?
Anyways, there're some things from me:
-
Edited timing rules are absolutely fine by me, can't complain there, though when i applied them to 1st place run i actually got 01:27.200 instead of ~01:28. Maybe look into it again? And also i think that option to show rules by default should be used.
-
As i suggested in comment for my run category like "Adventure Mode" should exist in which you'd start same as any% and then continue till the end of adventure mode. Not sure if there should be two Adventure Modes categories tho (with and without fixed start like any%), because even with fixed start upcoming adventure mode worlds will generate randomly, so idk, let it be a brief suggestion.
-
Current "All Bosses" category seems like it didn't have RoG bosses in mind, but it actually leaves a good opportunity to have two categories for all bosses as well - with and without DLC.
-
There also should probably be information about world seeds usage in resources section or in the rules for respective any% category just to not force any possible new runners to search for solution in order to pick up that category.
-
And to finish with categories - i'd say that any% random seed should be moved to first place and become a main category instead of set seed one.
