I enjoyed the X2 and Bonk runs, but I wouldn't say they're must-see.

Edit: I'm sad that halfcoordinated's run is at 1 AM, because he consistently puts out entertaining runs. Loved his Nier and Vanquish runs in previous GDQs.

Gungeon's a hard fuckin game, too. That's a bummer, I feel bad for the guy.

I think part of it is the mindset. Speedrunning a roguelike/roguelite in a "normal" setting usually involves playing extremely aggressively until the dice all come up in your favour. That's fine if you can just reset a bad attempt, but GDQs only give you one chance to pull it off. He should have accounted for the marathon constraints and played it safe instead of going for the fastest time. In the end, no one remembers whether your victory took 15 or 20 minutes, but they'll remember if you lose.

Not that I want to be too harsh on the guy. He was clearly nervous and being a good sport about the fiasco, so more power to him.

The Dragon Warrior IV was pretty fun, even though there was some setbacks. I enjoy the runs that go in-depth into the mechanics.

It doesn’t beat DW1 from the last AGDQ.

It was III. :eng101:

The run was definitely frontloaded with a lot of RNG setup shenanigans. Overall not bad.

Yeah, the first couple of clips were super rough for Samus Returns, but the end of the run he gets into the groove of them and really breaks the end of the game nonchalantly. Great run in general anyways, although the pedestal clip pain was tough. He pushed through the pressure well though.

It was a weird announcement in the hall, particularly, since there was no visual so it was just weird disconnected information.

Yeah, I think "bid war for which skin everyone will get in DLC for a random game" was a bit too much for folks to parse in the moment. I hope there'll be more hyping it up as a lead-in to the Prey run on Thursday evening, I definitely enjoy developer interaction with GDQs in all its forms.
