| Re: Segmented runs and squashed imagery | |

In Response To: Segmented runs and squashed imagery (Rockslider) : But this starts to get at why I have reservations about the value of : 'segmented runs' - a term I find dubious as they're not actually runs. On : the face of it, one might think that such a clip montage can potentially : serve as a collection of examples of how you can speed exceptionally fast : though the various sections. However, in many cases the brevity of a : section clip would be due in large measure to something quite lucky (or : even exceptionally lucky), such as when enemies just happen to be : looking the other way. The player can just repeat things ad nauseum until : things happen sufficiently favourably or freakily - though skill will : often play a significant part too of course. As such, the resulting bit of : very speedy example play would actually be quite unrealistic, thus with : poor educational value. So I feel like proper runs are a lot more : worthwhile and more readily admired (though I'm only properly interested : in combat-based running, as you probably know). I can admire bits of a : segmented run, but I don't really see a coherent whole I can admire. I share your feelings, but to be fair, it's kind of the same way for single segment runs. You keep repeating it over and over until you nail it. It can take hundreds of tries. There's no way I could sit down and run through MGS 2 on extreme in 1:37:37 on the first try. P.S. Be sure to check out my runs at SDA! None of them segmented :-p Metal Gear Solid 2 Extreme in 1:37:37
Super Meat Boy (Xbox 360) any% in 22:15 And for you Bungie fans: Marathon infinity Total Carnage in 24:35
