>Speedrunners plan to speedrun a game to get the glory of having set a world record for completion even if that world title holds for just a few minutes

This headline is the same as “water is wet.”

Should I be surprised? We all knew they would. Why is this news?

Duh
molecularraisin
the sun will rise tomorrow
simply_not_edible
I’m planning to go for a personal best any% run over the next few weeks/months, does that count?
The_Zoink
Whoa really? That’s so shocking to hear!

IGN proving they are just as braindead as always. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was a ChatGPT article…
LedSpoonman
“We’re gonna learn how to speed run this, right?”
“Yup.”
Article
LessPoliticalAccount
For what it’s worth, I actually read the article, and thought it was neat. I agree that the headline itself doesn’t give much new information, but maybe the problem is y’alls’ expectation that it should.
Toolatelostcause
This just in, community dedicated to beating games and breaking them as fast as possible, continues to do so.

Listen man, I’m no speedrunner. I just want to be able to bounce off a bokoblin’s head and fly across the world.
asshurhaddon
The speedrun’s over, people! We broke the game BEFORE IT COULD EVEN BE RELEASED.
Morighant
I’m not sure you can on this one, because unlike botw, I believe the objectives have to actually be played in order, I don’t think you can just rush to the ending. Granted, I’ve yet to try flying up to Hyrule castle yet so I guess anything is possible.
On a side note, I’ve broken literally every puzzle in game and at this point, I’m comprehending how the devs intended for them to be solved. Cuz whatever redneck shit I thought of definitely is not it

Game: exists
Speedrunning community: hold my recording equipment

I’m loving the meme recently of a speed runner/challenger accomplishing a ridiculous self set goal, then it cuts to the devs talking about it, and they’re like “why?”
thedoctorisin7863
Yeah, and? I would be more concerned if they weren’t plotting to break this game for all it’s worth
Confused_Hominoid
Speedrunners are scourge.
MrPerson0
I mean…the game has already been leaked for a week so far? Of course they would be able to plan this.
benhur217
in other news: Water is Wet
Trolleitor
I mean… Yeah? It’s what they do?

Nothing new
Some people that got early copies of BotW had “straight to Ganon” speedruns before release
busaccident
IGN “journalists” are already plotting to make TotK fluff pieces
kawaiinessa
im excited to see the kinds of glitches that came from ultrahand and ascend
farcicaldolphin38
I hope they don’t feel pressure to do it literally as soon as it comes out. I hope they can take time for a casual play through to just enjoy it, maybe make some notes along the way if you’d like, but don’t immediately start trying to break it from hour 1
Or do, I won’t tell you how to live your life. I just imagine this type of game only comes along once in a long while, so I hope people can capture the feeling it gives first

Isn’t that what speedrunners do?
je1992
They are more than plotting… the game has been played by thousands of people since May 1st. I’m sure the second the game comes out you’ll already have crazy speedruns lol

Speed runners are annoying
Dagoroth55
Oooo. Spooky.

“Speedrunners plotting to speedrun”
MegawackyMax
I am not surprised in the slightest.
Also, I can’t wait to see those runs.
StuntHacks
Not really in the speedrunning community but I get super fascinated by it: wouldn’t they wanna enjoy the game normally before trying to beat it?
AssociateDry1840
Good for them. call me old fashioned but I am kind of an In between gamer. I don’t need to go full cocaine and blast through the game just so I can spoil shit, on the other hand I also will not play this game more than one play through most likely and do my best to at least touch all the content ( minus collecting those stupid little creatures). And that’s ok with me
darthmeister
Has anyone here attempted a speed run of a new game?
Do you even get to enjoy the game?
RetroGamer25
Man, I hate speedrunners….
SHOW_ME_YOUR_KlTTlES
I’ve put about 60 hours in so far, and I couldn’t even tell you where to go to find the final boss yet.
mind_flayer_69
Good for them, I guess
streamycheesecake
They are starting to get out of hand.
armcurls
Is there a site that tracks all the speed run records?
Perydwynn
From the bit I have played of the game, it seems more open than than any other title I’ve played in a very long time, so I can only begin to imagine the ways people will exploit the systems to break the game.
vap0rware
And I’m looking forward to watching them after I beat it myself
haxxanova
Funny. Will still play it for the story and the goofy Labo-ness of it.
Anyone playing for difficulty has to understand difficulty is relative. “Challenge” yourself, sure – but know that for every time you feel you’re challenging yourself someone else has beaten it in minutes.
Same with “ZOMG HARD LEET PLAYERS ONLY” games like Elden Ring (also beaten in something like 17 mins)

Tf is this post? I get there’s hype for this game but this is so low effort
