Age of Mythology's 5 WRs, that nobody wanted
The following video is the culmination of over 2 months of my life. I probably could have done it faster, but I am certain I could not have done it any better.
If you would like any more information regarding this speedrun, don't hesitate to ask; I wasn't able to fit it all in. Off the top of my head, I had to cut the following topics:
How to map the editor glitch
How to save time on autoscrollers
Me singing 'I'll Make a Man Out of You'
And several missions
And if you'd like to see the original run in it's entirety for some reason:
th-cam.com/video/Sgk757ToX-M/w-d-xo.html
Oh, and that includes me resetting the run about 30 minutes in. So if you want the timestamps, just go to speedrun.com, each of my records should take you to the right section.
If you're wondering why the timer in the corner is so messed up, it's because I had Delete bound to pause the timer, which is also the key you use to delete units.. whoops.

Have you ever been playing one of your childhood games, and you hear that classic level up sound, just like you remembered it as a kid? Well I did; actually it happened about a thousand times over the last few months... because in Knights of the Old Republic, THAT SOUND plays.. every. single. time you load into the game. and it doesn't stop until you level up.

Yes, the answer to your question is yes. I stole the name for this series from Josh Strife Hayes' Worst MMO Ever series. I think you'll find it quite different. This video is a criticism of games that refer to themselves as 'Game of the Year' in their marketing, or at all. In reality, there are 100s of Game of the Year awards, and winning any amount of them does not make a game any better. Plea...

    Hilarious how Malak was defeated similarly to how I defeated him on my first playthrough back in March. After he drained the first Jedi I couldn't hit him so I resorted to spamming Thermal Detonator's and menu healing. Got the job done soon enough. I had a seperate save file on the temple so I could do the Dark Side ending, and thankfully I still had two levels to spare after until I reached max level so I invested in Valor and was finale able to hit him. Also found the Star Forge robes that time. Well done on the playthrough. Taking the Kotor challenges to the next level, (Hehe) beating Kotor without taking damage, now that would be a difficult challenge indeed.

    Your point on the RTA optimization is so real. I did two runs while trying to get the TGG campaign WR, the first run I beat the WR's IGT in 3/4 levels. The second run I turned off music, played 640x480, installed low-poly mods, stared at the corner of the map, and beat the wr while losing plenty of IGT. There is nothing more I want in this game than IGT+menuing used as the timing method. On a related note, this video also told me the secret to actually getting the editor glitch (middle clicking hovering on a unit) which I think your SRC guide didn't, so I went and grabbed some IL records. Maybe if I'm bored one day I'll take you up on the offer to steal some of these. Super good video!

    • @vhoul
      @vhoul หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea, the leaderboards are a bit of a mess. I think everyone is for switching Full Campaign to IGT, but nobody is actively running Full Campaigns enough to care. The time save is incredibly inconsistent and nobody wants to reset 3 hour runs to get good RNG. And here's the thing. For whatever reason, my copy of the game isn't showing IGT anymore. I don't know if they updated EE or what, but even though switching to IGT would disproportionately hurt my times, I'm still in favour of it. I'm curious if you just missed that section in my guide, or if I just didn't explain it clearly enough. But I checked, and the explanation is right at the start. Obviously having visuals makes it 1000x easier to understand, but if I need to reword the guide, please, let me know. And finally: Offer?! I do believe it was a challenge. ;)

As for rolling, it is a game mechanic, and since Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 all share the same game mechanics, the challenge would be completely impossible. Imagine not being able to move forward, look around, die, not die, kill bosses, etc. It just doesn't make sense.
