menu trip just means they had to go into the menus to change weapons/items/camo. using the menus does eat up valuable time so the less menu uses the better.

what's "menu trip"???
Edit: I was wrong :D

Anyway I'm thinking a 1:45 is possible. Was there any sections where you thought you could have been quicker Asphy? I'm guessing there must be a few.

Liquid had the potential for most improvement, Wolf could have gone quicker if she'd spawned in a better place, Raven was perfect, Octopus could go 15 seconds faster now as a new tactic was discovered recently... people have cut Act 1 down to sub 19:00 now :blink: so obviously time can be saved there. My run was really good in most places but with all the current strategies I can improve in so many places. As for sub 1:45... pushing it at the moment. Sub 1:50 will be done soon I think... I don't think anyone will get below 1:47 any time soon.

Alright mate thanks. Sub 19 for Act 1 is quite the achievement. I'm guessing sub 20 can be do for all the Act except Act 5 obviously. I think I'll start looking at strategies and my preparation for my next run now.

Also do you have any tips for the start of Act 2? This is most definetly my worst section.

Not sure if this is known, I don't think it would have any effect but when you get a incoming codec call. As soon as it starts ringing, press start and it will open straight away. (credit to me for finding this if it actually has any effect)

I've only tried this in Act 4 as I enter the room with the door I need to open to get to Wolf.

Nah it's known mate, either waiting for it to enter the call or just pressing start. Either way same time.

I noticed this tip on SDA forums and am confused.

Quote:
 
I did this by saving when prompted to by the game. This occurs just before the "Act I Liquid Sun" title screen appears. Then I continued off of that save and then saved again once all of the initial cutscenes had passed.


Why do you need to save again one all the cutscenes finished? You may aswell just ignore the save prompt like usual..?

@Turniphead: I'm guessing your talking about just before an Act changes? The 2-3 minute loading screens can waste alot of time.

@johnmoo: Good job mate, great time beats my own anyway.

I think I've just lost all my ambitious needs for the game. I'm going to have to finish GTA IV 100% soon :hmm: Need my mojo back.

should be doing something else right about now.
BBH, Foxhound Rank, 2:45

Next time I'm aiming for less than 2:30 and then probably after that refine my BB emblem time.
