Awesome, that's the spirit. Welcome to the event :highfive: . And you never know, with the point multipliers I'm hoping this contest will be fair to people who play longer games.

Hey I signed up but you didn't put me under participating! 

Am I that much of a 0% probability of winning that you don't even acknowledge me

Heh I missed it... Woops.. 

Take this cake as consolation

You're lucky he didn't move you back six places in the participant list for that mistake :P

Just to clarify, is the rule on top 50 times solid, or are really weird times excluded? I'm making a list with my backlog to try and avoid starting things that won't count next month, and some of these are just... questionable. I don't usually look at that page, so I have no idea what's reasonable/legit or not. I'm no speedrunner.  :dunno:

 

For example:

20-hour difference between the top two times for Lego Batman 2... when 2nd+ are all 22 hours or more.

Two <10 second times for Infamous: First Light (doesn't count anyway, but there've been a few similar).

 

Either way is fine, I'm just going to pick as I go anyway. At least my RPGs are holding steady at "days" for nearly everything so far.  :P

I was thinking of this as well. I'm not a speed runner either(FFVII excluded because I know that game front to back) 

 

I propose that we use a system commonly used where the first and last(top 50/20) times are removed, and the rest averaged. This eliminates the top hardcore speed runner, and the slowest(out of the top 50/20), which brings it to a more realistic time. This would only apply to games where the tier changes for the multiplier. 

SO4 would still be an instant win lol

Games need to have 5+ hours in the top times, which basically means you need to look at the top 1-2; the multiplier's based on what guides list as the estimated time. Seems to work alright, some games just look like there are hackers at the top or something - I don't see how the two I linked are even possible, forget "hardcore".

The fastest players and the guides pretty much only overlap when there's a playtime trophy most people have to idle for, from what I've noticed today.

 

Huh, I didn't think SO4 would even be possible in a month, but the top times say otherwise. That's impressive, but for sanity's sake... nope, still not touching it.

:facepalm: I forgot. I see what your saying. I forgot we were going by guide. But it's good that was brought up because even that's off, and has been complained about before. I'm wayyyy past 24 hours on Farcry primal. I have no idea where they got that number. 

 

And ya I wouldn't subject myself to a month of SO4 lol. I don't think I'd enjoy gaming anymore lol

Looking at the list of participants, I should turn tail and run right now. And rarity... Yikes. I'll join though as it'll be nice to have a place to report in on my year in gaming. And I just wanna see y'all duke it out.

Lol, good luck surviving the contest :lol: .

When it's obvious a hacker is in the top 50, the game will count for the event. As for the Infamous First Light: IIRC that used to be some kind of bug on the PS4 where trophies would pop while downloading a game :hmm: . Something like that also doesn't exclude a game.

Lol, you do realize creating an overview of all the average times for every eligible would take a tremendous amount of time and would also have to be checked regularly to see if it's still up-to-date, right :lol: ? Not sure about Zone and Mah2c, but I'm not willing to spend so much time on it.

Nice, thanks for clearing that up.

Oh yeah, I think I remember seeing posts about that. I'd just gotten my PS3, so it didn't apply to me... completely forgot.

And here I thought I could coast by with a Hitman: Go plat. Unfortunately, my love for JRPGs sets me back in this instance. 

 

Though most JRPGs are also going to be worth a good amount of points with the time they take.  I'm actually looking at trying to do two JRPGs and a VN myself.

You're welcome :D . Good luck with the planning.

I'm hoping the point multiplier will make things fair for people who, like myself, play RPGs and JRPGs. Those should be worth quite a few points.

  1. If any games on your profile have been started before January 1 2017, they're only eligible if the completion rate is 5% or lower.

Wanna make that 10% or lower :awesome:
