90.It is also widely acknowledged that the virtual contents of many loot boxes can be ‘cashed out’ for real-world monetary value—a process known as ‘real-world trading’, which brings them closer in line with the legal definition of gambling.169 The games industry has taken a hard line against the practice, which is usually prohibited within a game’s terms and conditions. Kerry Hopkins told us that Electronic Arts has “24/7 security staff monitoring activity to be sure that people are not engaging in this type of behaviour”, and yet still bans thousands of people a year for violating its rules prohibiting people from selling in-game items outside the game.170

91.The prevalence of real-world trading suggests the industry does not have as secure a hold on it as it might argue, and Dr Mark Griffiths told us that the Gambling Commission’s position “appears to be a case of the law struggling to keep pace with technology.”171 Indeed, the Gambling Commission’s written evidence states that the problem is more widespread than the industry acknowledges:

Based on open source research, the volume, variety and sophistication of websites advertising opportunities to exchange in-game items for cash, indicates that to term such circumvention of regulation as ‘occasional’ understates the extent of this issue for certain games.172

That awkward moment when new (gameplay) content is shown in a thirdparty video, but the actual Early Access product (I refuse to call it a game at it's current barebones state) still has to be updated, basically with anything at all, since it's been launched nearly a year ago.

Uhhh... I think it's the opposite if anything, people love EA more now.

Uhh... What? With all the shit EA pulls, I can't see anyone loving EA, except for blind loyalists.

Never played any C&C game, not my kind of game. The only one I know people hate is the one on mobile, cause it's on mobile. One just has to look at their treatment of Dungeon Keeper to really see why people aren't too thrilled about C&C being on mobile. And quiet honestly, the game deserves better treatment.

Not sure, I tried the simplified controls, and honestly, I couldn't get used to them. Too used to the default controls, y'know?

I only played We Love Katamari and I wish there was an Easy Mode for the controls.

 

Where you just, use the right stick to look around, and the left stick could just move you in a direction. I'm just not a fan of the clumsy control scheme, I kinda got tired of playing the game, as it was getting really tedious for me.

 

I understand that it's a design choice, but.. I still hate it.

 

Well you're in luck cause Reroll gives you the option to use the normal control scheme or "simple" control scheme, which is exactly what you want. However you have to get through the tutorial first before you can change the controls.

Hokay, so Final Fantasy 10 has some annoyingly difficult sidequests to get the party member's Sigils, to power up their Ultima Weapons. One of the more well known, and hated of them is Catcher Chocobo. Basically, you and the AI are racing. The race is short, your goal is to beat it in under 45 seconds. Simple enough really. However, to make things interesting, birds are flying at you and the AI Trainer (don't ask, just accept your fate). A lot of people think the birds are random. This is half true. There's some patterns involved, and they alternate for homing after you and the Trainer. There's also balloons for the two of you to collect. Again, a lot of people think the balloon placement is random, and again, this is half true. There are set patterns. Now, the real important part: You want to collect as many balloons as possible (depending on the setup, and your skill, the first 5-6 are essentially a freebee).  Every balloon you collect will lower your final time by 3, and every bird hit, will add 3 seconds to your final time (plus you're stunned for about 2 seconds). So, for example, let's say your final time is 40 seconds, you hit 5 birds, and collected 10 balloons, your new time will be 25 seconds. Congrats, you have enough to get Tidus's Ultima Weapon. Now, to get his sigil, your final time needs to be below 0h:00m:0s

Most people who are crazy enough to go for this sidequest, will wait for post game. This playthrough, I decided to get it ASAP, and I did. Not only that, but the run where I finally did, I had a shit start (missed all the freebee balloons) but I made it up by getting 12 balloons and dodging every bird.

First of all, the speedrun is done by multiple people. Second of all, like I said the health is done via an exploit. Everything demonstrated is done via exploits, as is common with speedrunning.

3:30 for a boosted grenade jump

This is for the insane amount of health. Short version: Get stuck at a certain door using a specific method, you get a huge ass boost. Take enough damage and your health will read 0, but it'll quickly bounce up, as it's not really at 0, the game just doesn't know how to properly read your health.

As for the grenades, I honestly can't say. However, seeing as everything else is done via glitches and/or exploits, I'd say it's safe to assume the same is done here.

Finally, the bunnyhopping, I'm just going off a blind guess here and assume you mean the insane speeds done, and again, exploits. With the Source Engine, people are capable of doing some very insane bhops.

Maybe you should learn a bit more about speedrunning before you accuse a group of people doing a dumb fun segmented speedrun by cheating their way.

You'd have to outpost me first.

The best part of this is actual speedrun strats are used.
