I will have you know I will rise again.... one day.
There was lately some discussion on this on twitter about this, so I'm gonna make this thread to maybe get this in my opinion fairly obvious change to take effect.
Why "Beat the game" is better than Any%?
Any% doesn't imply completion of the game.
"Beat the game" defines the category perfectly as it's literally all you do in the run.
Clarity. Newcomers can grasp the idea behind the category much faster, as Any% might be fairly vague and confusing.
Why Any% is better than "Beat the game"?
"Beat the game is too long to say." Invalid as "Beat the game" has 3 syllables and Any% has 4.
"It's traditional." We shouldn't care for this as it's a bad habit to hold onto bad traditions and sacrifice the clarity of the leaderboard.
I don't think voting is the best option in resolving this sort of matter, I would like for the leaderboard mods to discuss this and make the change if they agree with my opinion. In any case I'm still gonna give the option to vote:
A - Beat the game/("Complete the game" as suggested by Powdinet) B - Any% C - Other (explain why)
Powdinet was hiding this like every other new strat we find. Lean forward to get over the wall easier.
Found by Bristtful and according to him this saves about 25 sec. This means ambu dies so optimal route now has to mandupe Last Requests and Paparazzi Purge.
Practically everything but the stinger is same speed, so might as well take the gang car.
this route is possibly 8:30 viable (if you are literal god) tat is shit bdb strat is free this highlight isn't fast but it has everything new in it pretty much
~7-8 sec faster than chivu's 1:07.22 old, private vid: #
blacklev edit: commented out the old video, here is an up to date one from my AM pb: https://streamable.com/1g7zq
I am unable to change my profile picture. I get the following error message: https://gyazo.com/ab4bed4e008cb3655b301b9577364ec9
This is a any% route for blowfish instapass without TaT dupe, still faster than old any% route by at least 40 sec.
I personally think all missions shouldn't be a main category considering it's definition. Therefore it should be moved under misc categories.
I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this, that's why I started this thread.
PS: I think same change should be done in gta 3.
It's a bad example, but you get the idea. I think with crouching shotgun strats it would still be faster.
