So hey, planning on doing a single-segment speedrun of Serious Sam 3: BFE. I've actually been planning this for quite some time (on and off) and really, this just requires a bit of confirmation on a couple things and then me actually pulling it off. This will be on Tourist difficulty, just for the sake of getting things done as fast as possible without having to worry to much about dying to non-instant death means. There are a lot of places in my route where I can mess up skips, either costing me a hell of a lot of time, or getting eaten by Sandwhale (both being resets).
Most of my practice for this has been segmented runs at the levels (using a save before trouble points). Here are my best times for the levels so far:
I expect my single-segment run will be within 5 minutes of that total time. I'm not sure how much mucking about I'll tolerate during the run; I'll probably aim for as perfect as possible for the first 4 levels, and then give a little bit of slack past that. The first 4 levels are where I have to do the most precision platforming to perform skips anyways.
Now, just a couple questions:
-What should be prioritized in regards to video settings: quality or performance? My current settings have the game running at about 30 FPS while recording.
-Leave the ending cutscene in?
I did have more questions, but then I actually read the FAQ, and then everything was mostly great.
