Should we be punished game time because of the opening movies?

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Quote from darkphazon89:

From the movie. I did as much as I could to not count gameplay.

Which is why in-game time should be used for official records. No chance for human error.

Thanks darkphazon for timing the movies! I was just trying to see how everyone wanted to time this game for SDA, even personal preference. I know I want to time (w/o movie times) but as a whole, I think we should come to an agreement even if the "real time" time is a footnote. As long as it's mentioned IMO!

my umbrella goes directly to Bankai

yeah, i support the "real time" being a footnote. some people will ask about it since video length of the segments/whole vid isn't going to add up to game time.

Out of Phazon seeds.

Toonzin has a point though. Since I timed it manually, there is human error. I myself don't have a method to time more precisely.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I agree with how it should be timed officially. This is the first Metroid title that has been timed differently so I think it'd be best to know how everyone feels about the changes.

I don't really see the point in adding 'real time' as a footnote, as long as everyone understands that the in-game time isn't really correct. It still puts you ahead or behind of someone else's time.
