"I also pointed out that run easy should not be mixed with other difficulty modes in the leaderboard of the site"

Wrong.

never apply broad policy to every game in existence

it never works

It's appropriate for some, it's inappropriate for others. Gain a bit of knowledge on a game, then make a judgement call. Never broad strokes.

why is that game even on speedrun.com

that's not a speedrun, it's a score attack

like if he wants to argue about the decline of the segmented run then that's actually a fairly interesting and nuanced historical thing that goes in tandem with how speedrunning culture has changed over time with new developments in technology making it easier to record long chunks of video without having to split it across a bunch of VHS/DVDs, the widespread adoption of streaming and a bunch of other more complicated factors. It's a lot more complex of a thing than everyone just going "we've decided we like to do single segment now". If he wants to talk about that, I'm totally down to spot someone a history lesson.

his complaint about easy mode in MGS seemingly comes from absolutely nowhere though, he's bitching about a community that largely already agrees with him about what difficulty to play on.

segmented run is faster than single segment run despite difficulty discrepancy

Water is also wet.

i'm not sure what you're complaining about, you linked the MG3 board. The board that shows majority preference for people running on the hardest difficulty and doing it not a great deal slower than a segmented run. Isn't that like, exactly what you want?

MGS1's top times are on Extreme, MGS2's leaderboard actively fucking defaults to European Extreme.

What the HELL are you complaining about? Most of the MGS players agree with you, you fruitloop, they find it more interesting to run on the harder difficulty settings. You seem pissed that some people at some point did it on Easy despite that clearly not being the majority preference for MGS runners. Who cares? I'm amazed that you have the balls to complain about everyone else being elitist when the crux of your argument is extrapolating a minority of Easy runners out to that entire community and being a snobbish jackass about other people's runs.

Just play the damn game how you prefer instead of being an obtuse douche about the way a very small number of people prefer to play it.

The split for "Mia Videotape End" seems to no longer work.

or at the very least it failed to fire off twice in a row on sequential runs, which I'll admit is not an especially large sample size. But yeah, having problems with that one.

you appear to have bones to pick with individual communities

You probably want to ask them, rather than complaining here.

I still want to note that nothing in particular stops you from running under the conditions you like to run under.

twitch and youtube are terrible for messaging people

make a thread on the game's forum

absolutely nobody is stopping you from doing segmented runs for the purpose of practice

just segmented runs generally aren't competitive, and this is a leaderboard focused website. Most people do in fact, do segments for practice because that is how you git gud.

this is bad thread

End of the whole Mia section, when you find Ethan in the bottom of the ship.

having watched Xerian's run there's also two more that he does

  • One on entering the bathtub room and I think, /think/, this is to just speedup how long that bathtub takes to drain? I'm really not sure.
  • One just before Mia's section ends, like literally after you've already lost control of her. Apparently this puts you in the cutscene a couple of seconds faster?

Yeah I'm not sure about either of the Mia restarts being faster with the timer starting early.

EnglandPunchy8 years ago

The first one on the drawers entering the guest house is to get speed, the second one after the first Mia fight is to gain speed, the one as you drop down in the boat skips the animation of landing, the final one in the saltmines is again, speedboost.

it's a movement thing, generally

I agree with Nathan, mainly because it'd give us a decent place to put segmented runs, a type of run that otherwise has nobody really filling the role of central repository for them.

it being good for memes is a side effect

EnglandPunchy8 years ago

^ Yeah, I can corroborate that the Chainsaw Jack thing sometimes splits weird. I think it's meant to split like, halfway through the chainsawing the door animation? Which I presume is when the chainsaw actually vanishes from the inventory? Sometimes it splits well before that though.

Also, I had the thing again where "Injected Eveline" is firing off after doing the final restart in the saltmines. This doesn't happen every time at all.

Upload the video to a video hosting website, preferably Youtube. Link that in the form.

is there anything more obnoxious than being told what to run despite putting forth your own preferences clearly

EnglandPunchy8 years ago

I am physically looking at the boxart of the game that I physically own, and it has biohazard as its subtitle.

I'm really confused what your point is.

i am literally holding a boxed copy of the game in my hand that says "Resident Evil 7: biohazard" on it

"this version on steam also shares the same app id as the global version so you can not have both Japanese "low violence" and Global uncensored on the same steam account. "

This makes me wonder if just running/downloading RE7 through a japanese VPN would give the Low Violence version.
