BelgiumI believe there is a post either here or in guides that kind of helps you with preferred settings. It would also help to mention your pc specs cus obviously older gear will struggle even with everything on low.
The reason why i dont see an issue for allowing the magnum is cus this is found in game and can be routed in as in you do not need to have finished said game on a certain difficulty or other pre requisites.
As for your use of "pure logic" the magnum is by definition a handgun so shouldnt be a surprise that there are people that see no harm in allowing it me including.
Being too hard? No i just see a weapon that can be of help to potentially make a specific run faster since its a speedrun. This is btw me my having put in my input to say yes to the magnum. so afterwards the mods can decide wether they will allow it or not when the time comes.
Oh nvm was posting this before i saw a mod response so guess its already decided then.
Since the HG subject is moved here ill put a vote down to allow the magnum if and when the HG only category is being loked into ofc. I dont see the type of bullets warrant it not being called a handgun so that is why im for it.
Yeah thats why im in favour of magnum as i said before cus i consider it a handgun but i guess thats gonna be one of those agree to disagree subjects.
In the end it doesnt concern me cus i personally am more interested in either the hardcore or VoS run but i can def see people expecting a standard run. I definitly never saw a mention of there being no standard category by mods then again i dont join discords or other chats ( too busy with other stuff). Add onto that the previous RE game having a category in every difficulty it def gives some a reason to expect a category in all of em.
Magnum should be allowed in all difficulties same for upgrades since its pistol only and pretty sure a magnum is a pistol. Unless ofc people wouldnt want the magnum in the lower difficulty ones cus of the damage it does but i would say for ease to just allow all pistols and upgrades.
pretty sure i saw nix doing no pistol stuff on standard so odd to see pistol added for final nemmy.
Not down for a no intro run. This isnt even 5 minutes and so far the only reason i could kind of get behind was the injury one. By no means can i agree on a reason that says its either boring or practicly no timesave.
Has this been confirmed that nothing is tied to fps? i thought there was a mention of the igt and fps having something going on.
ALso i dont run console but i can see console runners that would prefer a split board rather then a filter between the base and pro versions. This has happened in FF7 remake and obviously its a longer run so load times there will have a bigger impact on a run but still.
Upgrades should be accepted as would the burst pistol. afterall its a pistol that is found by everyone so no reason to ban it. And if this leads to what kniferun said with the deaths to DA manip im all for it cus i havent looked into it that much but reading this def doesnt get me excited for it.
Nice and clear zgl so gj to you and the other mods for getting it this far already. Maybe if one of the mods can clarify tho the leaving out of ng assisted? since so far all ive read for a reason is 'but there is ng+' from people who arent mods which isnt ng obviously.
Not that i personally have a desire to run a ng assisted run but ive seen a few having interest and was wondering why NG assisted was left out yet hardcore and nightmare isnt? Not that i want those others left out but seems like they are all fairly similar and will prob lead to quite a few inactive boards. Cus so far ive only seen real interest in standard and inferno.
it will be as useful as a hardcore or nightmare run. in the end its the easiest mode and adds a weapon so that should have been a reason but like you said the re2r mindset has carried over to this game.
We never got the magnum cus it was banned. only claire had some form of a magnum cus it was an attachment
infinite pistol is not needed nor should the magnum be a thing in a pistol only (same as with re2r). Did a quik run through to see and upto nemmy 2 no problems altho ammo became an issue there without the attack coins so do think they are needed. Granted will this even be made a category?
Pretty sure you can call that a minor glitch. Not like they intended for caution to make a character run faster or how they intended to have the GL insta reload by swapping weapons. These are just things that sneak past developers. But yeah other then that i agree with maxy that this is "glitchless"
The reason for 120 was the knife in re2. Now unless there is something else i dont see the point of having this same 120 fps cap.
Yeah all depends on what the mods decide and if there is an interest in certain runs. but would prob be assisted and inferno then since hardcore is not that much different. but from what i hear from inferno it could be quite the trip even with ng+ weapons
re2r dint have inferno difficulty tho so in this games case i can see a point to 2 ng+ categories
Some boards do, some boards don't and in the end mods and the community decide on this, talk about it and people just have to respect it and decide wether they wanna run said game. Lets not forget this was a question asked which is perfectly fine.
But the comment "I see none of you have been around speedrunning for very long" was def not needed. Especially considering this is text and this came across as rather elitist which hopefully wasnt the case but still :)
Edit: As for having the convo wether or not console and pc has to be split up. My opinion is yes cus an ssd on ps4 while better will still not be the same as a pc when it comes to load times. Not to mention this pretty much forces people that are somewhat serious about the run to already look into aquirring one (i play pc so doesnt apply to me but still). Also target lock jump, pretty important trick in the run while possible on both, it is easier on pc due to frames. So wouldnt that be another bit of advantage a pc has over console?
