Playing Hitman myself has been quite important in prompting this in me. Now maybe launching ICBMs at two major factions shouldnвЂ™t count as вЂњpacifistвЂќ but seeing someone go through the game without any direct kills on their pip boy was pretty cool and something I actually tried to do as well but failed fairly miserably. They even incorporated one of these sorta runs into a GDQ event a few years back when вЂњBloody BizkitzвЂќ (gamers, why?) beat all the Org XIII data battles at level 1 in a wild 25 minute run - Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix LV1 Data Org RTA by Bl00dyBizkitz in 25:59 - SGDQ2017 - Part 121 - YouTubeДЇinally, and maybe a less challenging run but one I found especially cool and interesting was the Fallout pacifist run. I remember reading about the No Square Grid (sometimes even specific characters only) runs and found this video of someone beating Dark Anima (one of the gameвЂ™s most challenging superbosses) over the course of 90 minutes.

Two examples that come to mind are the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts runs where players have completed no level up run throughs.

What I really love reading about and watching though, are games completed in a unique fashion whether itвЂ™s imposing ludicrous restrictions or finding a method of playing the game that bucks the general trend. Speedruns are cool, right? I used to be pretty sceptical of their value as entertainment but after digging through some ways people have broken or cheesed a game and clocked up some wildly quick runtimes whether it was completing Fallout 3 in 15 minutes or Hitman 3 levels in less than 20 seconds I had to acknowledge that thatвЂ™s pretty cool.
