So muscle and fat IS properly reset?

Thats nice, but cycling skill is still important to 100%. IDK about max health.

In this case, I'd say it's fair to have the same ruling any% uses to also be used on AM.

I agree with Kyle in that we need to be consistent, therefore, I have moved the category in VC and 3 to misc.

My problem with categories like these are as much fun as they may be, they seem to be very arbitrary in their definition. I am hesitant to add those cateogories unless people do runs for them to avoid mostly empty leaderboards. Problem also being that Unreal running isn't that active either, there would soon be more categories than there are runners.

For now, I suggest any of these kinds of runs you do you post them in a thread on these forums. They're fine there for the time being. I'll look into adding categories once I see a few runs that can be put in it.

It doesnt matter Crook, you didnt know. It's just something that was brought to attention. Wonder when someone will verify (or reject) those runs though :D

Is your title a hypothesis that turned out to be false after testing, or is it the conclusion you've drawn after testing? I cant be arsed to watch a 7 minute video to find out.

I dont see anything to discuss. Restart your fucking game if you do a category that relies on muscle/fat/cycling/whatever stats and soft resetting doesn't properly fix it. (Ideally the same for any%, but I don't really care because it's any%.) We already do it for lung capacity, why are the other stats not taken seriously?

:D I'm still too lazy to verify your runs on other things though :D Also sorry for hijacking your routing topic Patrick :D

I just put it on misc for the time being. Someone else can unmisc it.

Ok two runs have been submitted so I have added the category.

I have found reasons to reject both runs though.

One of them does not include the credits in the vod and ends the timer too early. The other one does not properly restart so the muscle and fat stats aren't properly reset.

They're small mistakes, so I'm not going to reject the runs myself, if some other mod wants to turn a blind eye and verify these runs anyway, I will not step in.

One run submitted, somebody submit another one

I like how the only way to do it is using the 'forgot password' option. Forces people to use that creativity that is required for speedrunning/routing games.

Replying to the items in your list, in the same order:

  • All Missions with a permanet map marker is a solid definition, despite it being different from the one in VC and III, I think it'd be more fun.
  • If duping is faster then I think it should be allowed. Problem is it would skip mission and lock out the category, so in that regard the category serves as a good substitute for any% no dupes. If there's a way to dupe the last mission in a chain or something though to speed it up, I don't see a reason to not allow it, since its faster and all the missions would still be done.
  • This would be arbitrary and stupid. Pick a definition and stick with it. All permanently marked missions == All permanently marked missions, no exceptions. Boat and Bike school aren't permanently marked, so they should not be needed with this definition.
  • Agreed, these are boring and nobody wants to do these and if they do there's 100%.

While I agree that with actual mission skips in any% now, the category actually gained some legitimacy. But I'm going to say "have people run it first, then when enough people show interest we can add it" like I usually do. Don't want this to go the same way as VC 35/36 USJ.

Also the categoy should be called "All Missions" not "All Missions%". Adding a % to everything is dumb.

Seems like the category is dead and not many people submitted runs, so I'd say the trial was a failure. However, it seems the entire game is dead speedrunning wise, so I'm fine with keeping it.

Does this not work on Japanese? The title of the thread suggest it doesn't, but besides this suggestion there's nothing mentioned about this.

Also does this actually give the %. I assume it does, but does it?

Also I take it doesn't work with any other shop other than tarbrush? Or does it?

Also does this give double %? Does it cancel the Shakedown instance? Will this fuck up my vigilante blips?

So are these all the megajumps that have been found? Or are there any other useful ones that aren't posted in this thread

Im working on a document in collab with Nord/Velocinator where Im writing down everything that could be included in 'true 100%' category and will open this up to the public once I have something that makes sense. I don't refer to it as 'true 100%' though, because the counter on social clab/stats screen clearly says 100%, whether it is 'true' or not. The word 'true' is ambiguous. Does true mean 'as the devs intended' or does 'true' mean 'everything'? Instead, I am referring to it as 100%++. Other options are 200%, or 'all content' or whatever creative we can come up with. I think the naming of this bigger category is more important than the smaller category's.

When Nord ran the category, debate was going on about how shit R¤ 100% definition is, and many questions were asked whether Nord's run was R¤ 100%, or the other one. This confusion never existed for the older GTA's runs; while it is dumb and surprising that Bus Driver isn't part of VC 100%, or the USj aren't part of SA 100%, people never questioned whether runs should include these or not, and thus the label 'Rockstar Games' was never needed to be appended there.

But because the confusion DID exist for GTA5, Nord thought that at the time using option B would be the best solution, and he made the correct decision. (the fact that this confusion exists once again proves my point that gta5 really is a horrendously bad game, but that's an aside.)

However, the confusion has faded so changing to option A for consistency is indeed something I would have voted for, had the voting period not already ended. In order to make this option work though, it is essential that the future 'actually everything' category gets a proper, non-ambiguous name that makes it clear that it is indeed more than just 100%. I will make a post about this once its time is due. people interested in the category before that, please PM me.

You're saying the random variable is set at the beginning of the game and then never changes again?

Friesland, NetherlandsS.9 years ago

In unrelevantness to anything really: I am surprised 5 and 6 stars are not unlocked by missions like The Green Sabre and Yay Ka Boom Boom, or AYGTSF itself, or Learning To Fly. R¤ really likes to unlock stuff after Learning To Fly, surprised that 6¤ isn't one of them.

I do not wish to moderate this game

Also it counts as one fare since the other copy of taxi driver works as intended and waits for chosen ped to enter cab.

so could you dupe this if you were to pick up a regular fare then take them to the cop station?

There have been several non-mass community races for 3d trilogy any% iirc. idk where to find them.
