>>336141593
this isnt speeding through the game its using exploits and glitches to go through walls
I don't understand the point of these "lets glitch the fuck otta this game" speedruns. Where's the fun in that? So, you technically '''''''''''beat'''''''''''' the game but essentially making the code divide by zero, good job retard.
I remember watching one of the first 2hr long speedruns and it was fun as heck, and had some insane display of skill
neat. thanks op.
i love when a speedrunner makes a game their bitch

the fuck does that even mean
and

it's like 10 guys
>>336142198
Its not a skill of playing-the-game. I watch speedruns to see someone impressively beat the game, using rules of the game, and actually going through the challenges the game provides.
I'm assuming this a new WR if they uploaded it.
>>336142549
Im pretty sure that he and the other fags are just baiting

What about when a game turns the speedrunner into a bitch?
>>336142706
No, that was John FUCKING Numbers.
>>336142619
You must have fun watching all 2 of the speed runners who don't abuse glitches.
I spoke with Gabe, if they ever beat 40 minutes, he will publish HL3.

Bugs don't break the rules of the game.
Bugs reveal what the actual rules are.
You are salty because your outdated idea of what the boundaries and framework of the game look like is both incorrect and can be used to one's advantage.

>>336142619
>missing the point entirely
as soon as you opt to use the slower methods, it stops being a speedrun
>>336143090
>>336142878
Whatever, dude, I don't really give a fuck, if seeing someone breeze through the game by disregarding the game is fun to you, thats fine. I watch speedruns for a spectacle, not some e-penis masturbation
>>336143318
>not some e-penis masturbation
So why the fuck do you care if its impressive or skillfull? I think this is actually exactly why you watch
>>336141593
he's fast...
>>336143318
But he didn't disregard the game. He played by the games rules as programmed.
>>336142706

I think Let's Plays are more up your alley.

*your outdated idea of what the boundaries and framework of the game look like is incorrect, and the reality of the boundaries can be used to one's advantage.
>>336143318
>by disregarding the game
They likely know more about the game on an intricate level than "purist" speedrunners.
> watch speedruns for a spectacle
If you don't think watching someone slingshot through a level in ways you thought were impossible is a spectacle then there really isn't a lot to discuss here.
>>336141816
Because running really fast makes for a boring speedrun. I wouldn't want to watch a run without at least abh, climbing and exploiting map geometry.
>>336141593
the word autism is thrown around here often...
but this...
imagine all the collective man hours that went into achieving such a useless goal

>HL2 was 30 years ago
>>336141816
Because it's interesting to see just what makes a game tick, the best speedruns have a commentary that explain why they are doing each action (like hitting points to make the level load or whatever) and how they are doing it.
Just like TAS with or withoutout glitches are entertaining to see what theoretical perfect gameplay would look like.

> This run was done on an older version of Half-Life 2, more specifically, a build from 2006 that still ran on the original game engine (also known as the Old Engine), before being updated in 2010 to the OrangeBox engine.
Fucking dropped. Speedruns should always been done in the very latest patch.
>>336144328
Why do you think so anon? I think there should be runs for both older and newer versions
>>336144328
This, I don't mind glitches but using some specific old buggy version is kinda lame

>>336144328
Not all speedruns use latest version of the game.
Deal w/ it.
I thought you couldn't do that jumping on top of objects to float in the air glitch anymore

>muh speeddemos rules
I still can't believe how shitty the opening to this game is. Who the fuck would EVER want to ride that stupid hovercraft around boring empty areas for like an hour and a half of gametime?

Honestly it's a valid speedrun and crazy glitches are fun but when 99% of the run is just that, it's boring.
The HL1 done quick is fucking legendary by comparison, you actually need to kill enemies there.

Do people still get excited for TAS runs?
It is just like the disgusting scriptfags who think they are good at kz ing cause they use keybinds to get perfect timings on their jumps.
>>336146051
No one liked Dark Souls speedruns when they pull this shit. DS1 speedrun skipped 70% of the game to glitch through the door into the final area and DS2 speedrun just involved glitching through everything and running infinitely fast. Once those 2 things were patched, speedrunners seemed just fine with working with the new verisons.
>>336146238
Where does its say its TAS?
>>336146310
The name on the bottom of the screen changing means it's a different guy playing
>>336146310
you can't do those jumps without autohop scripts.
>>336146374
"TAS" means Tool-assisted speedrun...
Nothing to do with it being segmented.
>>336146374
That doesn't mean it's tool assisted though. It just means it's segmented.
>>336141593
The HL speedrun was much hyper than this. This is just glitching through walls and floating, HL had some truly insane shit. It was faster too thanks to less scripted setpieces in the game.
>>336146221
It's kind of true man. HL2's speedruns boil down to glitch to the top of the map and run straight, use physical items to hop over walls and out of bounds, use models to make NPCs skip walking/animations, and one portion of the game where you have to defend Mossman and Eli, and that one portion where you're captured by Breen.
It's still fun to watch but HL1's speedrun is WAY better for entertainment value.
>>336146051
It's not invalid if the speedrun was done before patching
so many liberians in this speedrun

why not just skip the formalities and turn on noclip?
>>336146228
have you ever seen tetris grand masters? published by sega and only released in japan, it's fucking crazy fast and takes years to git gud. up until recently only one person outside of japan was good enough to achieve Grand Master status.
there's a stage at the end of the round where you have to play just as fast, but completely blind while the credits roll

>still responding
>>336147447
Give it up already, tetris isn't impressive.
>>336141816
These people can surf through everything if they wanted. Exploiting the game is the only challenge they have. Who gives a fuck if it is less funner for a lot of casuals to watch? Even being technical exploits most people couldn't pull off a fraction of this shit, some segments take days of playing to get right, hours of reloading the same 30 second segment to perfect it.
>>336147538
i don't understand why suggesting a run of tetris grand masters done at a GDQ is considered funny
>>336147242
I guess, but still every thread it's a bunch of dumbasses who clearly don't speedrun or even begin to possess the mindset to do so complaining about using glitches like fucking Kotaku readers.
For shame, /v/. I thought people here of all places would understand the joy of playing a video game while attempting to play as little of it as humanly possible.
>>336146678
Of all the things to attack it on, he chose the worst one desu, this game is just more "cinematic" than the first. I love Half Life in half an hour, I don't think it makes this any less impressive though
>>336145081
Half Life 1 is good.
>>336141593
I love speedruns but I'm not a fan of the segmented ones. Of course, the point here is to get the fastest time possible, but I prefer the ones where it's one long attempt or they're segmented by level/area.
>>336147898
>I love Half Life in half an hour
We're down to 20 minutes now, niqqa
>>336148003
Half Life in less than half an hour? Alright I'll look it up
>>336141593
Does he have any mods for loading times?
Because normally the game keeps loading every 10 minutes and he just keeps jumping from zone to zone like it's nothing.
And what about the fall damage?
>>336148210
Loading is edited out for brevity, and you can see them taking fall damage on multiple occasions
>>336148003
>20 minutes
Nigger I finished it in like 20 seconds, I just opened up the console and loaded the last map. It's legit!
>>336147447
>>showcased at AGDQ
>implying that means shit
His skill at tetris is impressive, but it's not a speedrun; it's entirely down to RNG from the first block.
It's an exhibition that at this point serves to draw in viewers (those who haven't already seen the myriad of advanced tetris videos out there) and nothing but.
Same category as the TASbot meme runs that reprogram the game internally.
Important question: Is this TAS or is this legit?
TAS is literally cheating.
>>336147946
I think they serve completely different purposes. A segmented run like this is a finished product, of sorts, created for demonstration and generally showing off, not for competition with other players like a single segment or IL run.
TAS'es are like this too. They're created, not performed.
there's room for both if you grok the point of either
>>336148302
Yeah I get that you're butthurt and/or don't like speedruns
but this takes genuine skill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtI5HM7GVGY
>>336148210
Loading screens are edited out because like you said they're fucking everywhere so there would be more loading screens than actual play. And a lot of fall damage is negated by landing on slopes at precise angles.
>>336148325
if one using clithces that's in the game WITHOUT tools.
then yes.
if we talking bout emulators and tools then it IS cheating
>>336148325
It's not TAS. And TAS isn't cheating it's a separate category.

It's a segmented run. It's not TAS, although I'm not sure what you mean by "legit".

If you haven't seen SM64 120 stars yet it's fucking insane and a dude called Cheese just got a new wr by I think like 5 seconds yesterday or maybe two days ago.
I also watched an Earthbound run recently, and it was fun, but that might just be because I had just beat the game and really liked it.
wat
>>336148613
Whatever it is, it's dumb to count speed runs made before a patch, but not speed runs made after a patch without the said patch applied. Where is the logic in that?
>>336148595

Only you faggots hate it. There are glitchless runs to satisfy your autism, you know
>>336147637
Says who? You? Drop dead, buddy. You probably can't even get pass the first speed.
>>336149186
I'm gonna assume you're not baiting and just sincerely ignorant and define what "cheating" means for you, ok?
Cheating means to do something unfair or dishonest in order to gain an advantage. TAS'ing does no such thing, since it's fucking clearly labelled and you're not even competing against anyone when you do a TAS, it's a demonstration, a showcase, that sort of thing.
Claiming TAS is cheating is completely ridiculous and profoundly misses the point of what TAS is even for.
>>336149186
You don't understand the difference between speedrun and TAS, do you?

Not impressed anymore. I thought speedrunning was taking a perfectly functional game and breaking it to degrees the devs couldn't have foreseen to achieve the fastest time possible. If you're going to pick a version of the game that's already busted, then what's the point?
>>336153060
going fast
What really is the downfall of Speedrunning is not the subject matter at hand but rather the baffling community who ruins it for the majority and is giving the whole thing a bad name. As it's always the case with such things.
Here an example, the pattern is always the same,
>watch a "glitchless" speedrun
>runner uses tons of obvious glitches/bugs/not intended routes
>runner gets called out
>says real glitchless runs aren't possible, deletes comments, making it sound like it's hopelessly arbitrary to define glitches/bugs/what's intentional, but a lot of games have pretty simple definitions
>also every glitchless thread at speeddemosarchive or any speedrun forum ever
>"IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY" i.e. tons of mind-boggling stupid anecdotes & analogies
>someone makes a reasonable comparison to real life sports which have time trials and how easy it would be to abuse loopholes there but there are rules in place to prevent that (athletics, motorsport etc.)
>autism overload
Yo, what the fuck is wrong with these people. Can't their autistic brains not comprehend that no glitches means no glitches.
There is actually nothing wrong with liking/watching speedruns. I've been following the scene since the very early Quake days. Recently there was the ESA (European Speedster Assembly) and those guys always do some show which they stream during huge LAN events like Dreamhack in Sweden. It's normal people doing their thing. No eDrama and the autism level is relatively low but that's also the reason people barely are aware of those guys and almost nobody cares compared to the North American scene and their eCelebs.
can we all agree that this run still has the best commentary ever?
