Hahah this game is a mess.

 

[Sub_Level]

The reason that green space level doesn't have a good dev time is because you're not supposed to have the jetpack at the start. They assume you have pistol starts.

I love Occupied Territory.

 

[RoadHazard]

Haha, this is ridiculous. Mere seconds per level.

 

[Sub_Level]

Ok good he is not doing the Dark Side skip.

 

[JbstormburstADV]

I made a Twitch chat room called NeoGAF

Post your Twitch names and ill start inviting.

[LyleLanley]

This game really brings back some memories.

 

[TerryLee81]

He's like clipping through walls every few seconds.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Can I get a re-invite to the GAF chat? Twitch username is nihontiger. I got bumped from the room when I logged off last night.

 

[Sub_Level]

Nobody runs Episode 4? Dafuq that has some of the best levels.

 

[G-Fex]

his PB is sub-10 minutes but this is a great run regardless

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Seven seconds

 

[Necromanti]

His FPS is probably locked to 60 because he forgot to turn off V-sync...

 

[theSlacker]

You missed a great Jedi Knight run. Check the op for vods.

Yeah, defiantly something that I will go back to check out.

 

[G-Fex]

Blood is going to be cool

 

[tci]

Strange that Blood didn't get more attention in regards to gore and quite brutal imagery.

 

[G-Fex]

This is great, he's nailing all the tricks.

Yeah it's a shame Blood is pretty underrated

 

[Ruprit]

Descent is making me ill. I figured after all these years I would be fine.

 

[theSlacker]

Blood and Duke were great. Couldn't look away at all or you would miss levels.

 

[dmr87]

Imagine Descent with Oculus

 

[Ruprit]

Imagine Descent with Oculus

Please no. *barf*

 

[Durante]

I was waiting for Descent. Back when I played it (admittedly I was rather young) I found merely moving around challenging, seeing someone speedrun it is just ridiculous.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Motion Sickness the Game. Descent deathmatch was a trip. If you knew any part of the map better than your opponents it was never close.

NOPE Can't handle this constant camera pivoting. Bailing :X

Yea, same here. Seeing it now is awesome.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

This game is nauseating to watch

 

[theSlacker]

I still find myself tilting my head with the ships position, even when just watching someone else play this game.

 

[Ferrio]

This game is nauseating to watch

It's comforting to know there's 100k people trying not to throw up right now.

 

[Sesha]

I remember playing the demo of Descent on PS1. Had completely forgotten about it. Weird to see. I'm actually getting nauseous as well. Dunno if it's because I'm thinking about it or because I'm really getting motion sickness. Thank god I'm not fullscreening.

Strange that Blood didn't get more attention in regards to gore and quite brutal imagery.

It's because no one played it compared to Doom, Mortal Kombat or GTA.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Simply mastering the art of moving around in Descent without causing a shitload of camera movement was my first challenge. I played the shit out of the game so it hurts not to be able to watch this speedrun, but I can't afford a massive headache right now.

I have no problem at all with that. Never had

I can't be the only one.

Never had a problem with it either. Fucking love this series.

Descent 2 is probably my most played PC game as a kid.

 

[dmr87]

While we are on the genre, do you remember Forsaken? Played the shit out of that on the N64.

 

[2MF]

I have no problem at all with that. Never had

I can't be the only one.

About the only time I got motion sick with games was when playing on a big projector screen, it was gut-wrenching. Might have been due to low FOV setting, not sure.

 

[Cyrano]

I don't have the motion sickness problem but I do have a problem of simply being terrible at the game.

I remember not understanding what the girl with the tattoo had to do with the game when watching the TV spots for it.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

literally came to this thread to post this.

 

[Durante]

Oh, I have that one as well. And not just in comparison to the runner

Never saw any commericals, and the girl were on the US cover right?

[8BitsAtATime]

edit

nvm i just saw the list of couch commentators

 

[Anustart]

Boy was fzero snes one boring ass run to watch. Just getting caught up. While battleblock theater is a mostly boring game as well, should be fun to see what pj's done with it.

 

[TUSR]

Does anyone know if Blechzorz is going to be doing anymore commentary. Dude was great to listen to.

It might be in the OP

I'll fight you!

 

[chrominance]

I'm amazed that even without the use of glitches to skip levels (and just suicides to skip parts of levels), this is going so fast. Not what I expected when I saw Descent on the schedule, but it's just as awesome as I hoped.

 

[Sesha]

Reading a bunch of stuff about Descent now. Soft Bank published the PS1 version, how random.

A friend of mine watching the stream was surprised that Descent could be well-received, but for 94, I get it. Gameplay is simple but solid and although the environments are ZZZzzzz, it's a solid game for the time.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I wasn't paying attention, why is he over the estimate?

 

[Cyrano]

I will also fight you. Whatevs at you so hard.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

That game made me so dizzy watching it, I'm still recovering and yet I couldn't look away

 

[chrominance]

I wasn't paying attention, why is he over the estimate?

Descent doesn't seem to have any known glitches a runner can take advantage of, and the behavior of the enemies (and what they drop) is somewhat random. So basically, you can have a string of bad luck that either kills you (forcing a quickload) or makes something take longer than expected, with very few ways of making up time. Spooty had at least two big ones I remember: the level 15? reactor where he kept getting crushed by red hulks before he could escape, and the final boss that spawned enough enemies to block most of his mega missiles, meaning he had to kill it using mostly quad lasers and random missiles.

 

[Durante]

I guess I'll have to watch They Bleed Pixels on VOD. Too bad, was really looking forward to that on e in particular.

 

[PKrockin]

I'm excited for PJ/Mecha Richter runs even when I have no idea what the game is they're playing.

 

[Starsunder]

Goddamn PJ and Mecha are hype.

Love those guys
