Oddworld may be narratively driven, but a speedrun isnt. U dont watch a single cutscene.

So far, New n Tasty is by far one of the most by the book speedruns. There are no glitches. Theres 1 that can save time but its super tricky and too risky to try when ur already an hour into the run. So its a speedrun where for 1 1/2 hours ur constantly moving, constanly memorising slig patterns, mine patterns, motion detectors and passwords.

It might not be enjoyable to watch. I wouldnt know, I havnt seen anyone run it. I know sam is going to do a run of any%.
Thats why I brought it up, I would absolutely love it. But I dont know if its enjoyable to watch.

Whats more enjoyable to u guys? For the original oddworld. Do u prefer seeing someone run through the whole thing as skilled as possible, or do u like watching sam split it in two with glitches?
Also, a little offtopic. AGDQ starts today. The yearly speedrunning marathon to raise money for cancer research. Last year they raised over a million. 7 days, 24 hours of non stop speedrunning greatness.
