Title: Awesome Games Done Quick 2018 - Now with 100% Less BotW Inter-Drama
Post by: Suwako Moriya on December 05, 2017, 05:45:17 PM
Here it comes! (https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule)


Hypest for:


* F-Zero GX
* Mega Man X4, even if it's X's route and therefore devoid of The Cutscene
* Metal Gear Solid
* Metroid Prime 3 holy moley honestly never thought this game would appear in a GDQ
* Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers
* Kamiko
* Densha de D Lightning Stage
* Mega Man 1/2/3 Relay
* Ocarina of Time 100%
* Super Mario Land 2
* Link to the Past Randomizer Glitchless
* Breath of the Wild All Main Quests No Amiibo


Notable in their absences are Super Metroid and TASBot, but I guess everyone needs a break now and again.

Oh hey, an I Wanna game that isn't Boshy.  This year's Awful Games Done Quick block looks particularly choice, too.

Did we really need Super Mario Sunshine again though?  It's like the least fun Mario game to watch.

Ultima VI, Baldur's Gate II, Diablo, Rayman, Duke 3D. Such tasty morsels. I would have preferred Blood 1 instead of 2, and any Serious Sam game instead of BFE, but oh well.

Andy's swordless run at SGDQ 2017 was one of my favorite GDQ runs of all time.  His randomizer streams are hilarious, so this run should be an absolute gem (especially if his commentators are back).

Umihara Kawase, Panic Restaurant, and Legend of the Mystical Ninja might fly under the radar for many but they're good platformers.

Oh hey, an I Wanna game that isn't Boshy.  This year's Awful Games Done Quick block looks particularly choice, too.
There are a ton of titles I still don't recognize so I can't pick out the awful block right away. Am I the dumb??????

You know you're in awful block when Bubsy II is in the lineup.

I'll say this: Don't look up what game it is, but be sure to watch Princess Rescue. <_<

Man, sure wish there were some new arcade beat-em-up runs. I mean, Battletoads are cool but it's pretty much a rerun of something that's already been there before.

I think that's largely a problem with the genre.  Very few arcade beat 'em ups have interesting speedrun qualities.

I've mentioned here and there that I have no idea why they elected to not put in SM and threaten all the donations they get for Save/Kill. I guess they want to just test it out without it? They can't actually replace it with something else because it was inherently a spontaneous meme. Trying to force a replacement won't work. The game obviously needs a break but it seems like an odd decision money-wise.

I have heard from credible sources that not only did it need a break, because it was the default donation incentive option, it was basically siphoning money away from other incentives and they wanted to break that trend this year.

I can believe that rationale. If people were actively withholding their donations towards other incentives just so they could push for their side to win, that does in fact negatively impact the marathon as a whole.

RNG Manipulated this time. And the run was done at RPGLB. This time I won't be there to commentated.

Also the Animals donations were siphoning donations because it was always the most known one and the default choice because people didn't know about the other donation choices

Post by: Reddyne on December 06, 2017, 03:15:23 PM
SM, for all its merits and quality runners, probably needs a rest for now. It's probably for the best to get some other incentives and in-jokes beyond save/kill.
I think that's largely a problem with the genre.  Very few arcade beat 'em ups have interesting speedrun qualities.
I spent a moment thinking of potential fun/interesting beat 'em ups for this and the only thing that felt like it deserved a spot would be a co-op run of either Double Dragon Neon or maaaaybe TMNT4? Unless someone has evidence of some run utterly gutting the game mechanics it's hard to imagine a beat 'em up making it in without being relegated to a late night spot. It's just the nature of the beast.

Damn, too busy at work, missed most of Sam 3 run. It was fun by the looks of it so waiting for VODs now.

Hopefully Harmony of Dissonance incentive will be met. Juste runs feel more impressive since I know how broken Maxim's movement is.

Also, Prince of Persia got dropped? Shame.

F-Zero is forced to stop 1 min over estimate.

MP3 gets 5 mins over estimate.

I'm guessing there was some other circumstance; like F-Zero not being near finishing? I missed F-Zero itself. If there wasn't a circumstance like that; it seems like rather unfair treatment

MP3 run had some issues, but at least they got to do it this year.

F-Zero finished.  The runner wanted to show off some bonus stuff, but that wasn't really part of the run.  It's hard to say it was cut off and it did actually go over estimate.

Definitely unfortunate since I think a lot of people wanted to see more of the game (and the runner was great), but alas.

We also went over this a bit with the side scrolling beat-em-ups. There are a lot of great games that are great to play but they just don't translate to speedrunning well. F-Zero was a very execution heavy racer and I never managed to do well in it as a kid but without some crazy stunts I can't imagine even near perfect play being a great watch. Harmony of Dissonance with Maxim on its own is good-not-great, but glitch exploitation, quick movement, and precision tech out the wazoo made it a blast to watch.

So as much as I liked AGDQ this year, the absolute worst part was chat, for a large part of the marathon doing nothing but spam "free the plebs," over and over and over. Really makes a guy want to make a Twitch account just to manually block every single person spreading the cancer.

Super Dram World was hype as fuck, though. An impressive amount of first-clears, and all of thirty-one deaths.
