AGDQ is over for an additional 12 months, leaving us with tons of of hours of incredible speedrunning VODs to maintain us entertained for weeks. I’ve had a flick thru among the finest (and likewise sat at residence binging them as a result of I like me a superb speedrun), and located a couple of extra important runs that I’d be silly to not level everybody to.
Before we get to that although, the true information: Awesome Games Done Quick 2020 raised $3,155,199.56 (about £2.Three million) for the Prevent Cancer Foundation!
That’s round $700,000 greater than the winter occasion raised last year, and the second ever Games Done Quick occasion to surpass the $Three million milestone (second only to last summer’s GDQ).
Now onto the highlights! For a fast starter, right here’s speedrunner Flarebear blasting his method by Celeste in simply over 20 minutes. It’s speedruns like this that make Celeste appear like a reasonably easy platformer, which, if you’ve ever played it, you’ll know that it completely is just not.
Next up is StoneAgeMarcus’ run of The Binding Of Isaac Afterbirth +. This one might be a bit complicated in the event you’ve by no means performed the game, however the sofa does a superb job of describing what’s occurring (and lots is at all times occurring) making it far more accessible to anybody pondering of selecting the game up. StoneAgeMarcus manages to finish runs of all seven of the game’s characters in a single hour and twelve minutes, with some extraordinarily fortunate and relatively chaotic builds.
The final run I’d such as you all to observe is Dark Souls beat in 45 minutes by Regole. This is one other a type of speedruns that makes you’re feeling such as you wish to have a go at speedrunning it your self. The explanations for every part are clear and useful, and the runner himself is so exact together with his gameplay, it’s probably the most satisfying runs I’ve watched this AGDQ.
There have been some actually glorious moments at this 12 months’s AGDQ and my solely remorse is that I can’t presumably write about all of them. Having mentioned that, here’s a few I wrote about last week – I extremely suggest the Fallout Anthology speedrun for 2 straight hours of guffaws and good glitch rationalization.
And in the event you have been one of many many superior folks to donate to AGDQ this 12 months, congrats on serving to beat a fundraising report for a very worthy trigger.
