If this run has drummed up some interest in the longer JRPG speedruns, check out RPG Limit Break. Even if this is too big of a commitment to watch in its entirety, it still deserves a very big shoutout and acknowledgment for all involved. The commentary never dipped in quality and they turned what should have been a slog into a great watch. They did not move from the couch in all those eight hours.

From the meticulous planning that goes into the game where every element must be on point, the dedication of runner ajneb174 and the couch cannot be understated. For lovers of the game there were incredible titbits of game manipulation. The couch might have been the best in terms of personality and information. It essentially translates to a glitchless run according to the categories list of Final Fantasy speedruns.ĭespite its length, it was actually one of the best runs of the entire show. This run was part of the “No Slots” category of FFVII running which means that Cait Sith’s limit break cannot be used. For the viewers on the western hemisphere, this was during the night but for us and the Europeans, it was the stream most of us got during the day.

Final Fantasy VII sits at an eight hour long speedrun which might be the longest in the history of the event. Now most likely when anyone looks at the video time, they will immediately be put off. Final Fantasy VII (Any% No Slots) by ajneb174 Kotaku provides more detail about what was going on, but it seemed 097Aceofspades was prepared for such a thing. In the video above, the runner and couch acknowledge what is going on and roll with the punches. Despite being a speedrunning event, Landfall decided to do some shenanigans by making the game even harder. Twitch integration is also in the game which means chat can get itself involved in madness by manipulating the game. Developer Landfall would often go into the streams of players and warp with the game to make it harder. On its own, Clustertruck would have been a fun run, yet it became something much more chaotic.Ĭlustertruck has a built in backdoor for the developer. The Indie game block featured what was a cavalcade of off-beat smaller games that usually don’t get much exposure.

These are categories based on certain defining elements of games in the show be it console, series or even genre. It is a shame the show started with a significant error but at least it was found relatively quickly. It is still a very impressive run and one worth watching. After recalculation, it turned out Dr4gonBlitz did not hit the World Record mark with his correct time of 33:27. Looking back, viewers might have noticed that many of the runs were well under their estimated times to the surprise of the runners. Unfortunately, it was revealed soon after that the GDQ timer was actually incorrect for the first day of runs. Polygon reported that Dr4gonBlitz actually had done it twice with the practice run also achieving the WR time (which does not count due to no recording). After the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night run concluded, the runner Dr4gonBlitz had seemingly broken the world record with a time of 32:59. The show did unfortunately start with a significant misstep. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Any% Glitchless) by Dra4gonBlitz Below will be a quick recap of the runs fans should watch and maybe the stories that couldn’t fill their own post. Over the week there were many must-see runs and smaller stories. Luckily the official Games Done Quick YouTube channel has uploaded a majority of the runs from SGDQ 2017. Over the week there were likely many games that got overlooked due to timezone differences or even those pesky life obligations.

There were some standout runs at the show however. While this didn’t match January’s Awesome Games Done Quick which raised $2.2 million, it is still a very impressive number. All this money will be going to Doctors Without Borders. This makes the 2017 edition the highest earning event in the history of the Summer chapter of Games Done Quick. SGDQ 2017 raised over $1.7 million in donations over the seven days.

With a showcasing of some of the best of the community, it was an extremely successful event earning the most cash in SGDQ history. After a week, the speedrunning charity drive of Summer Games Done Quick has come to a close.
