Playing these games as a kid only having watched the movies always confused me the fuck out, but it was still fun.

I recall enjoying the PC version of Chamber of Secrets a lot, it was a pretty significant improvement over the first game.
This does not look so good.

>>714143883The PS1 versions of Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets are basically ultra gimped versions of the PC game, they only exist because the PS1 had a billion consoles sold and studios will keep releasing games on those even as the successors are out, even in a garbage state. The console versions of those two games on PS2/GC/Xbox are also totally different games from the PC version, just sharing the same soundtrack by Jeremy Soule.
Then there's also the GBC versions which were turn based RPGs.
>>714144295both at the same time?
>>714144213I actually remember those, they put a LOT of effort into DVD menus and extras back then. They were a selling point for the early DVD years when VHS was still very much around.
>>714144437And I'll assume you meant this minigame
>>714144415Having two different stream audios on top of each other sounds like a bad time. Of course you could just mute one. I'll probably start with the Stream 2 one and switch over to 1 if it sucks.

game items are throw into other games(thus why all of those are in the same run) so cooperation is important.
>>714145190You can switch between games at will.
Items will be scattered across different games (example, you can get the hookshot by winning against Sabrina instead of the Soul Badge).
>>714145480There were versions of Chamber of Secrets on every platform out there, most of them different video games altogether. The PS2/GC/Xbox version, the PC version, the PS1 version, the GBC version and the GBA version.
>>714145480>>714145609This wasn't unique to the HP games either, the era of licensed games had many of these instances.

>>714145715Correct, it wasn't until the Goblet of Fire licensed games that they became more standardized, with the same version for consoles and PC, but that still had a DS version that was naturally a bit different, but from Order of the Phoenix on they got a standard version across platforms which was also more directly based on the film, with the likenesses of the actors and voices, etc. They also tended to have just one developer from then on, with other devs just handling ports, rather than multiple developers making different games with the same name

>>714154989He's supposedly got one coming but they keep hinting at it without putting it on the schedule.
who thought that filling a part of the game with autoscrollers would be fun
>>714154786archipelago is the name of the randomizer and multiworld is because there are multiple game worlds all sharing items, I think
>>714155152did you rike it?
>>714154786https://archipelago.gg/
Do they switch the view to DS3 or Pokemon at any point?
>>714155285they plan to at half-way
This SMB3 runner seems rusty, did he even get early hammer?
>>714155317cool, cheers anon
>>714155362He said he didn't do a full run for over a year.
is smb3 nigga gonna make it
>>714155578Marathon runners are always just streamers who aren't even top 10 in the category now
>>714155362They said the setup is wonky and causing input trouble
>>714155642B at least he didn't overestimated
>>714155642A, solid and good energy
>>714155642A, I liked it, good chemistry and even though runner fucked up a few times couch was explaining everything well
>>714155642A. Was fun, didn't really fuck up, got some cool tricks. One of the better runs so far but not super perfect.

Why can't Stream 2 have all four games on screen again
Did they get 5k overnight?
>need intermission to swap
bruh...
>>714155913>have to go to intermission to change itsasuga tech crew
>>714155940The setup is shit.
are we rating the smb3 any% or does that not matter
Stream 1 and 2 viewers always bitch about everything but stream 3 viewers never.
>it happened>>714155940I think someone said they didn't have enough hardware for the second stream to capture 4 machines at once, which raises the question why they won't just go and borrow it from the first stream which is streamin fucking single players
wait the streamer that did smb3 is now waddling to stream 2 and playing go go ackman 3
...sounds good
>MrMizzow vs. Staratur for Kindom Hearts IIDon't give a fuck about KH2 but this should be fun regardless.

Did stream 2 run get mercy killed?
>>714155996There is no stream 3 this year. Only stream 1, 2 and B (for bonus random stuff)
is that a fucking flatcap lol
>>714156014I can imagine disconnecting all the hardware not currently used on stream 1, bringing it to the s2, connecting and then doing everything in reverse is way too much hassle.
>>714156069They had to bring the stream down to switch the games shown on the screen

>>714156130Could be, but someone needs to wipe the ass of the guy who decided to put this thing on Stream2 to begin with without checking if it's actually possible
>goes way under estimate
>ends up with one person left and they have to swap again
>someone crashes
There are a lot of ways this can suck. I want to see stream 2 go up in flames for ruining my day.
>>714156186forget whores, this is the reason esa died

Guys, I'm at ESA.
They just accidently deleted the Dark Souls 3 save.
>>714156812Don't worry anon, it'll be up soon, and the delay is just since they were setting up all 4 screens at the same time! I fucking wish
Just woke up. What happened to that gimmicky ass run on stream 2? Go Go Ackman was scheduled 2 hours from now.
>>714156964They decided to switch the streamed games from OoT and Mario to DS3 and Pokemon and the whole thing imploded
>>714156964They briefly went to intermission so they could swap feeds twenty minutes ago
>>714156964wanna know what happened? they died
KH3 took too long to come out, I never played it. Doubt I missed out.
>Toasty_Stoat
>>714156964They're doing screen switching. The random run will be back. It will be back. It will be back. It will be back.
>>714156964They can only show two screens so they had to switch halfway through. They're still switching. It might be fucked.
>>714156905Oh shit, now they lost the Pokemon save as well.
Guys, I'm at ESA.
They just accidently restored the Dark Souls 3 save.
>>714156994Maximum comfy mode.
>>714156964Tech issues so they could only stream 2 games of the 4 being played. They brought the stream down to switch the 2 being shown and just didn't come back.

Guys, I'm at ESA.
They just accidently restored Lucifer.
>>714156905damn, really? raise a hand on stream if that's true
What's happening in the stream2 backstage?
>>714157061>ESA is deadbros...
At least everyone isn't crowding around the PC anymore. Progress. Any moment now.
>>714157125sir, a second lost save has hit the tower
>>714157046>>714157083I'll never complain about GDQ tech crew again. just kidding I'll always shit om them
Morning we all in stream 2?
>>714157427It's choking currently.
Stream 2 dilation break has been extended. Take your medication and drink some water while waiting. Stay hydrated!
>>714157323they're cooking delicious chicken?
>Go Go Ackman
Nice. Used to play these with one of my friends and my little bro. Didn't understand a lick of the language but the visuals in the "cutscenes" are so striking that we could interpret and invent what was happening.
They should just take the crowd cam and have the tech guy running around filming the screens of the runners at this point.
>>714157487>Stay hydrated!>hydrated>hydraGET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!
>>714157467what a rollercoaster of emotions
SUCCESS
STREAM 2 CHADS WE BACK!!!!
both streams shit rn tbqhwym
Wait, Ackman is still hours away due to the delay?
Okay I'm tired of Dark Souls, can you switch the streams back?
The swamp is 10 minutes in, the whole ds3 run is less than 1.5h
you either start from the beginning or the run has already ended
why are they starting in the middle?
>>714157805It always was at that time, this thing is long as fuck.
>>714157812>The swampThe whole game is swamp bro
>>714157812It's a randomizer.
>emulating
Nintendo, execute these lads
>>714157812He needs to find shit for the other players.
SM64 needs keys, he's currently stuck in the foyer.
OoT needs items, he currently can't beat most of the dungeons.
Remember when stream 2 had four runners playing a MMO with them all shown on screen at once?
>>714157946no worries, they're in EU so they have basic rights
>nanako_thisisboring.png.avif.jpeg
>SM64 just sitting and hanging around
Does the rando even have logic baked into it or can it end up in a situation where the keys are placed in the floors that require them?
>>714158127That technology was lost in the Euro Wars.
pretty neat how it all just works works
>>714158157They tend to have logic to make it not generate completely unplayable seeds but little more than that.
>>714158157There's logic to make sure it's possible, but not to make sure it's well paced.
It's just the item could be late game in DS3 or Pokemon.
I must say, a rollslop option makes this a lot more watchable than it was before.
>>714158212Cool idea, awful execution for this though.
I hope they revisit sometime and DON'T fuck it up.
>>714158157In multi-world randomizers the logic is such that the required items are always reachable, but there may be periods where a certain game/player has nothing to do until another goes out of their way to collect a specific thing.
Of course, there are ways to screw with the settings that might lead to impossible seeds, but only mad people like ZFG's OOT randomizers go for that.
>>714158254>>714158256>>714158363Alright at least it's not fucked then. Usually these rando marathon runs tend to have a friend of the runners checking the seed before the run too, so it ends up relatively entertaining.
>>714158363Should add, that those moments are affectionately called "BK mode", because you might as well go grab a bite from Burger King while waiting.
kingdom hearts is the bestest made game series ever
BSG posted their schedule for next month, it's looking very solid.
https://oengus.io/marathon/bsg2025/schedule/01
>>714158442I don't really understand what the fuck is going on
>>714158408The thing is, Archipelago has a neat option.
You get points for every item you get, when you get enough points, you can spend it to get hints for specific items.
But they didn't enable it, I guess to not make it 'too easy'?
>>714158443BSG's marathon looks better than ESA's.
>>714158443I used to keep up with speedrunning somewhat, but I don't recognize any names in that list now...
>all the links in chat are purple
>He isn't lightning resistant
>>714158553Probably a matter of being hard to include while streaming the games.
>>714158553It's good as an emergency option but for a marathon it kind of defeats the spectacle of it.
Having some sort of feed that tracks the items and transfers between the games would be really helpful.
You can tell ZFG is just sitting in the front row, silently seething at the OoT runner.

the games are pretty lopsided when they have over 2k checks combined but mario only has 120 stars and some other random stuff
>>714159416The runners probably knew that when signing up
Usually when I run multi-world randomizers with friends, if I'm playing a low-checks game, I play two games to avoid excessive downtime.
