Playing style?

Playing style?

Postby Evil_Sire » 2008.11.12 (18:08)

What's your N playing style? Do you try and do it as fast as possible? Or take it slow and steady? Do you go for the gold or the speed?

I personally go for speedruns most of the time, but i'll play the map slowly first so that i'm used to the map.

I usually just start playing it the first time, trying to beat it as fast as possible. The second time I just let it run and see where the enemies move if there are any moving ones. Then I just try to beat it faster and faster.

A perfectionist that often fails.

I'll try to make a run as fast as I can.

I always go fast. I have great luck when going fast.

I start of with a speedrun to complete the level. Then later I'll come back to it and try and get the best AGD possible.

i will always go for an agd, as it offers a nice challenge, and i do it slow to get use to the map, enemie placement etc. Then, once i have got an agd, i'll try and get the agd faster and faster. When i cant go any faster with an agd, i'll do a speedrun - see how much difference there is between the two.

This should be a poll. But speedrun. I have almost no luck with highscoring.

First i'll estimate the difficulty by looking at the map: If it looks hard, i'll just try to complete it; if not, i'll try to perfect an all gold run.

I try to do it as sneaky as possible, while collecting as much gold as I can. It's fun doing a level where none of the enemies even see you.

Overall... It's getting progressively better. I'm a bit interested to see where it goes from here.
Think you have ideas worth contributing to my comics? If so, PM me your idea and I might put it in my comic. And, of course, your name will be cited in the comic.

Speed completion, with all free (unprotected) gold and more along the way (along my path)
Exception is when highscoring.

I go for speed, and grab any gold that dosent need me to take a longer route on the way

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.

As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.

Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.

Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.

Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.


Yeah, I use plastic.

Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!

Mmm... it depends. On action maps, I first take the grasp of it, trying to find the perfect route to an AGD. If I can't make it, I just try more 4-5 times with speed.

On race maps, fast.

On survival maps, fast.


But this varies with difficulty, the first look I took on the map and my own mood.
