5 years ago I posted (on youtube) what I think is the fastest completion time for the ME2 Collector Ship platforms. Stumbling on this site, I figured "hey, why not submit it"?
But on closer inspection of the winning times posted here, none are really oriented toward combat. People are simply blasting through levels without actually killing the enemies, with most time consumed by relatively mundane events (like running or glitching through terrain).
I would personally be MUCH more interested in speed records related to COMPLETION of individual combat scenes (timed from initiation to end of hostilities), with or without taking health damage. This seems like a much more entertaining pursuit.
Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree here (and if so, fine). But would there be any interest in the community for a new set of speed categories for ME2 related to shortest start-to-finish combat times on individual levels at Insanity difficulty? Example of what I am talking about:
5 years ago I posted (on youtube) what I think is the fastest completion of combat for the Collector Ship platforms in Mass Effect 2. Stumbling on this site, I figured "hey, why not submit it"? But it was rejected on the grounds it does not conform to the level category.
Upon closer inspection, I realized the category I am most interested in is actually missing. Most speedrunners are simply blasting through levels without actually killing the enemies, with most of the time consumed by relatively mundane events (like running or glitching through terrain). I would personally be MUCH more interested in speed records related to COMPLETION of individual combat scenes (timed from initiation to end of hostilities), with or without taking health damage. This seems like a much more meaningful measure of actual combat skill!
Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree here (and if so, fine). But is there an alternate site with something like I am describing? Or perhaps others in this forum interested in something like this?
