Boo making an inventory is a right of passage Kappa. (This is actually pretty nice though actually)

I think usb load is banned but I'm not positive. I'm not a GC runner there are others who can tell you for sure about this

Anyone know of a way to usb split a controller to play on console (xbox 360 in this case) and also have inputs be read by my PC and show up in an input display software? (have a software already.) Asked a few people so far everyone has said there's no way that they know. Trying to get confirmation on whether it's possible or not ASAP. Not afraid to solder up a custom device if that's what it takes as I have some electronics knowledge. Any input appreciated thanks.

It is not required for IGT to be mentioned for an NG run, just preferred but if you cant you cant

Striker should always be right in the top left because you'll be equipping it throughout the entire run. Making a good inventory is harder than people think and a lot of logic goes into it to create a layout where everything is quickly accessible. How many of each grenade you have will also depend on what strats you are using. I'll make a post at some point about some good examples of inventories

based on all the signs of high DA in seg runs it's safe to say the only thing the game ever resets is full health at 3-4 end

Main reason I like the idea of the sub categories is that while the drop downs do look clean, the actual list of runs does not. Honestly I've always felt like the list of runs looks like a cluttered mess with all different consoles, fps, and multiple runs by the same runners all mixed in. To us, we can look at that and manage to make sense of it but I imagine it's likely terribly confusing to someone visiting our boards. The sub categories resolve this because then each thing you click on displays runs done for that console and that console only. It's true that we do have hella consoles which would make it a little harder but if we put it to thought I'm sure we could figure something out

In theory, key board and mouse is faster. Key words here being ¤in theory¤ because for it to actually be faster would require a total mastery over that control setting which to date, no one has ever done. Controller has proven more efficient simply due to being easier to control

@Hoobie trust me you are not the only one pushing for absolute separation of PC and console

New Jersey, USACarpenter9 years ago

I like it a lot. It's basically a less asinine version of drop down tabs.

I saw it before the fps subcat was removed, it did look a bit cluttered however it was very specific and honestly it could be a potential solution to all the fps chaos that's happening right now. I think the concept of the fps subcat should be presented to to community as a whole, maybe by taking some screenshots of it if we don't wanna keep it that way for now

Auddy and I have hard proof that even when comparing 30/30 and 30/60 there are igt time differences. If you want that proof look no further than to compare chapter 1-2 of the Auddy/Carpenter xbox run to the 1-2 of the Snow/Rage PC run.

We still may as well have igt be shown in submissions though because why not

It's one thing to have to spend $50 to get a faster version of a game, it's a whole different thing to have to spend $1000+ to get a PC that can compete with other peoples. If someone were to have a significantly worse run than someone else as far as actual gameplay and still beat them due to having an op PC, they might have "won" but did they really win? No, nor would they deserve to win.

With that said, it's still very true that it's basically impossible to monitor if people are actually staying within 60fps so as much as I hate to say it, it basically has to be legal unless we want to risk accidentally rejecting legitimate runs.

So I conclude by saying yes, make it legal but I feel we should very seriously consider making it a separate category or drop down for PC like JC said. To be brutally honest about my opinion, if it is not separate from 30/60 it will be the death of this game on PC because excellence and skill will not necessarily be required to have a WR with unlocked fps. I am not trying to say that anybody here who is running the game is unskilled by saying that, I'm just saying that even an unskilled person can get an amazing time if they have a stupidly powerful PC.

I'm even thinking I'll record me watching the vids and commentate over it, that way I can pause at bad parts and explain what/why went wrong. This would also then be something the runner would have freedom to watch whenever. Thinking this would be an in depth way for runners to understand errors and how to avoid them in the future

If you keep hitting the guy to the right with the rocket, it's because you did not position yourself correctly before throwing the grenade. Firstly, you need to be entering the binocular cut scene and skip it, this is faster because you will actually be further forward after the cut scene. What we do is after skipping the binoculars cut scene, move very slightly to the left. This will position you to where the rocket will fly somewhere between the guy you are hitting and the wooden pole in the center of the village. As long as it is not beyond that pole, it should work.

Watch the village in this run, if you look closely you will see Leon move slightly to the left like I described.

If you are ever having a hard time pulling off a strat, never assume it's because you simply aren't quite getting it, in many instances it may be just because there is something to it you don't realize that you are not doing. If you ever simply don't understand something, feel free to ask, we're here to help

The reason the stutter step laser skip is good for Morse is he's talking GC NG where he already has the striker out at that point. NG+ it's no difference since we're switching either way.

Side note for anyone who may have a hard time with the audio que; I'm pretty sure I'm the only runner who does this you can also simply look down with the cam and go by visual que however the way you have to hook on the controller is super jank to input everything there that way but I'm used to it

Have WR on DE for both solo and duo and personally don't care if they're in IL or misc. If IL I agree they should be up top. Btw I know no one has seen my DE stuff, never uploaded them because I still intend to improve them.

Entered. I'll help seed this when everyone enters who intends to.
