They took it off. SGDQ is pointless to me now.
Idk. These guys know the shit they are running inside and out and pit hundreds of hours just into sections of the game. If anyone has the right to bitch itās them.
Thereās plenty of runners, in fact most of them that Iāve seen on GDQ, who ARENāT like that. Let alone, as I said, playing the game in an unintended manner doesnāt mean that the game is badly designed because it has behaviors that arenāt conducive to such a playstyle.
Thatās like me complaining the MGR is badly designed because I canāt use the gameās cutting mechanics with the wooden sword which canāt cut.
Really thatās my main point. Itās fine and certainly interesting to play a game in an unintended manner and to max out itās and your own potential, but to complain about it so constantly is just ridiculous and unnecessary.
Edit: The reason it bothers me is that it is quite frankly rarely fair to the developers. True, there are lazy people all over, in every walk of life. Even if that is less so in game production. But do just make blanket statements that ridicule the design/programming/etc. without really understanding it, is just unfair.
Itās also true that theyāre free to think that, Iām just surprised some of them are so vocally negative about it during what is now a massively popular stream.
Impacut~oh Song and Rapid Punch 210 DMG math, special moves in the mech boss fights

āthat game sucked :sad: :mad:ā -Vynce
Youre gonna have to hit me with an example because somebody running something and complaining at how bad the rng is in a boss fight or how stupid the level design is somewhere so that you can skip 60% of the game doesnt sound too bad. Unless the runner was like āThis studio is ass, I cant believe they did/didnāt do this, I will sacrifice the producerās first born son to Diabolos!ā Im finding it difficult to see the issue. i for one love hearing stream commentary of runners so i can get some insight whether good or bad.
Well, something I hear a lot is something along the lines of āthe game is designed so that such-and-such happens, I donāt know why, it just is that wayā which is fine on itās own, but itās often said with a disparaging tone. Actually, even in your example, RNG. Yeah it sucks if youāre doing a speed run, but RNG is not a failure of design as a concept, which Iāve heard runners make it sound like RNG is JUST bad.
I love hearing insight too, but Iād rather just hear straight information. Itās fine to have a negative opinion of these things, and in fact I am ok with hearing negative opinions of things you think really ARE design issues, but to say it with a mocking tone is something I just donāt agree with. Especially since, again, many runners arenāt like that.
EDIT: And just to be clear, Iām not saying that you should never say something is bad design. There certainly are times where even in a game I like a lot, I completely disagree with on-purpose design decisions made.
Yeah I never interpreted it as the runner going directly at the developerās neck. You gotta understand, in that mode they only care for one thing, that time. And they are trying putting on a show. Some runners get alot more anxious than others and can obviously let the heat get applied to them. They are being judged by other people who run too. I honestly do not think they mean any of what they say to shit on the developers purposefully. If they sound frustrated they most likely are, cuz they put tons of hours into trying to get it perfect for either WR or just to get on GDQ.
Itās just when I hear that know-it-all attitude, it bothers me is all, but I suppose youāre right.
Whoās the bald black guy in the back with the glasses? I see him at damn near every one of these, but Iāve never seen him run anything.
I donāt beleive he actually runs anything?
His name is 'Ice" something.
That Megaman block last night tho
I am so fucking hype for Dustforce tonight
Bucky is starting soon
The music in this game is so freaking good. Also these kind of high execution/high difficulty speed runs are my fav
Yo GDQ got so esports. Mics & interviews lol. Alot of the old vets arent even present right now.
I havenāt seen any interviews but AGDQ14 I realized that no one was swearing which was wack AF
The soundtrack is what got me into it. I got the humble bundle with the game and OST, played the game. Did terrible because I couldnāt figure out the controls. Then I started playing the OST when I was playing other games and picked up Dustforce again. Iām still awful but Iām playing more 
I was talking about Bucky OāHare actually, but yeah Dustforce is cool too
You didnāt see Naegleria adding dollars to the āswearā jar. That Canadian just canāt contain himself.
Chat eating away at Mattyice for skipping a level. 105% lol
Silly me tries to go to theyetee right after its mentioned on streamā¦ I think they got their servers as a free prize from a cereal box
