    DS2 is one of my favorite games of all time, obviously my favorite in the series. I've never seen a boring run... probably watched some of your runs haha... I tend to gravitate towards no commentary, 100% or all bosses runs when watching speedruns though. it's what I enjoy the most, seeing as much of the game as possible. any% runs can be fun if you want to see a game broken to all hell. really enjoying your videos! thanks.

    A bit stupid of a question, but why not allow skipping a whole introductory level because of this in some games so speedrunners could effectively do the rest of the game and compete? Would save time having to hack the game to skip these...

    • @WaifuRuns
      @WaifuRuns  2 года назад +1

      You definetely could! But we would rather find a better long term solution that still allows us to play the whole game, for most people they just want to run the whole game and if you have to do something as extreme as skip the whole first level then why not just find another game to run, it’s really just personal preference but we didn’t feel like that was a good solution

      @@WaifuRuns Fair enough. I can see doing that for this game and good job finding the long term solution !
      Don't get me wrong I think putting the effort is beneficial most of the time and I agree with you on your point.
      Say theoretically that there would be a game which has a long intro sequence that plays exactly the same. I'd say better to skip it than having to play the part for no reason at all countless times.. If we are talking wanting to speedrun it badly.
