i kinda agree, consistent logos would look better, we also should use the same url format for the games, some are like ff3 some are ffviii and others are Final_Fantasy_V, i think number is better than roman numbers (especially if they are in lower case) regarding themes, if someone can/want to make a speedrun.com logo with the FF logo font then it'll be cool but other than that it's not needed
Salut a tous, j'envisage de venir (depuis Lille) assisté au marathon, et recherche quelqu'un (ou plusieurs personnes) pour partager un logement (airbnb/hotel/...) la nuit du 4 au 5 décembre. le-dit logement servirait principalement à prendre quelque heures de sommeil tard dans la nuit, ainsi que pouvoir prendre une douche et mettre des vêtement propres le lendemain matin.
Je ne sais pas s'il y a beaucoup de non-parisiens prévoyant d'assister au marathon, mais je tente quand même.
since we're talking about weird taxi dupes and you seem to be able to answer anything, can you explain this http://www.twitch.tv/gaeldemarseille/c/6087877
taxi dupe; 1st fare = 2, 2nd fare =1 then 3rd fare = 2 again
If you do this to remove sounds, would dialogs skip like when you disable your audio card ?
i mean it's not a real competive speedrun category, i just used a cheat that show the credits
other that using a cheat the run is legit (more legit than odyssic's emu cheated runs Kappa )
i also question myself with is it any% ? some games let you show the credits (and the the final cutscene credits) from the option menu and you can't say that beat the game. I only did this run because it's a good meme
my opinion on the credits warp we might find in III and VC, is that if it doesn't show the final cutscene it's not really any% BUT if this is found i would still do a credits warp run however it's named
just posting to say that the description on my LCS video says "This isn't a thing"
guy did a few NG+ any% runs but they weren't optimised, i was making a NG+ route where i was taking as many phone calls as possible during mission but i gave up once the 2minute waiting time was skipped in NG with the discovery new japanese CP dupe
route doc if anyone cares https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N7jlj1G1wzN8_mJIcOMLkm1yeKl1F692aaoKmtCLX-Q/edit?usp=sharing
[quote]I think Gael is persuasive enough to make other people do GTA3 IG hundo NG+ to compete with him[/quote] lol i think you are overestimating my power on people
Regarding Ingame 100% NG+:
- "Why is it NG+ ?" Ingame 100% category in GTA was created last year, after the duping discoveries (mostly in VC) people realised that you would get 100% ingame before completing all the 100% requirement and decided that the "real" competitive 100% category should be (and i totaly agree with) to complete all the 100% requirement rather than just duping your way up to 100%. But eidgod decided to make a VC ingame 100% segmented run anyway and to submitted it to SDA. IIRC, he hesitated between NG and NG+ and for some reason i do not know decided to make it NG (his run included 2 full segments only dedicated to waiting around). After finding out that Autocide gave twice the percentage and could be duped up to 26 times without crashing, I decided to make a proper route for it, a RTA route. Waiting around for ~5 and ~10 minutes respectively is quite boring, and being unsure about my duping consistency, i would have needed a safe marging of error in the waiting time, and wouldn't be optimal. Also I don't consider using "NG+ replays" is illegitimate as long as it's clearly stated and in my mind there're two 100% categories, the "real" one where you follow a strict set of rules and the heavily glitched and abused one where you use everything you have in your possession to reach 100% the fastest (I would have turned off frame limiter if i thought it would be beneficial, but since duping is frame based, it isn't)
But that's about Vice City, what about III ?
For GTA3, the only use of "NG+ replays" is limited to rampage start Vigilante and cancel the rampage immediately to do the Mike Lips' Last Lunch instapass it's saves making a replay, pickup a gun for Chunky Lee Chong and waiting for the rampage to end. I know those are minimal timesaves and it might seem not worth making the category NG+, but i went for consistency with the VC runs and with my idea of "heavily glitched and abused one where you use everything you have in your possession to reach 100% the fastest" Another argument i can think of is that a much more yolo route would involved rampage starting some mission a bunch of time (mandupe) with a NG+ replay going from location A of the portland AK rampage to its location B
- "Does it deserve a leaderboard for it ?" I don't know, all i know it that i consider ingame 100% as a valid 100% completion of the game and therefor the category isn't arbitrary as opposed to Hooker% and/or 69HP. Also 2 years ago GTASA 100% leaderboard only had 1 time and was considered ridiculously long and repetitive by most people to consider this speedrun. Similar things could be said about III and VC hundo. I would say that my time deserves to be referenced within our community, not because it is good (it isn't), but because it exists. And the only place for this is a misc category on the leaderboards
I will write something about AM and credits warp later.
speedrunners uses the retail Japanese version. this version being extremely rare (and expensive), you can convert your steam or retail1.0 version to japanese with the converter that you can find on this page http://www.speedrun.com/gtavc/resources
[quote]you can jump through walls using bikes if they're in the right position to do so [/quote] excuse me, this thread is about useless glitches only, and this strat has been used in speedruns pls remove . . . esaSmugGit
T&T dupe + Blow Fish instapass is still faster than just Blow Fish instapass
[quote] What i experince is that my original german cd from the old days isnt good for a speedrun with the rampage trick because i dont see them doesnt matter which language i pick there are not there[/quote]
How to uncensor GTAVC http://pastebin.com/cfwmNmzu
Rampage start Taxi, then hold capslock and when the rampage is over keep holding capslock and go into the blow fish mission trigger
There is a japanese pc version of GTA3 (there's even 2 different one), you can find them on amazon.jp but they are kinda rare and expensive http://www.amazon.co.jp/カプコン-グランド・セフト・オートIII-日本語版-GTAIII/dp/B0000AVE00/ http://www.amazon.co.jp/Best-Price-Grand-Theft-Auto-x/dp/B0007PGVO2/
Nobody in the community has bother to buy it because we have now idea if it's actually different other than just the text. But there is a small chance the main.scm is actually different and could lead to new glitch discovery
Also you're talking about the japanese version of VC being more "stable", this isn't true. It's just the main.scm who is different and cause different results when you mix missions. The "more stable" theory was spread by uninformed runners and was always considered false.
Personally i feel like this is tool assisted, remembering collectibles is a big part of why 100% runs are fun also gtasnp.com has the same feature but better i guess (example: http://gtasnp.com/map/5487 )
