Yeah, that's why the community has specific categories for different runs. I appreciate glitched runs because of the acumen needed to accomplish them but it's 100% runs that truly impress me most as a gamer.
The speedrun world is almost like a scholarly domain, with all the usual bickering about terminology, whether this qualifies as that, and so on. I would be interested to read an ethnology of the community.
- striking 6y ago> The speedrun world is almost like a scholarly domain, with all the usual bickering about terminology Right. Like the most recent 100% runs of Ocarina of Time[1], which use glitches to obtain items early and break the sequence of the game, while still obtaining every item from its source eventually making them still legitimate 100% runs. You'd think "100%" and "glitchless" were synonymous, but they're not anymore! 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4nc4lhj3Uk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4nc4lhj3Uk
- thomasfortes 6y agoTerraria speedruns have a NMA category (no major abuses) that have a set of rules defined by the community, if more games start to make 100% possible with glitches I can imagine these games adopting something similar.
