Ico on the PS3.
I'm doing the under 2 hour speedrun for the Platinum. There's nothing super hard about it if you already know the game and use some overachiever's guide for reference, just in case. The problem is my perfectionism gets the best of me. I've replayed the first section until bench #1 for about and hour, over and over, until I could whittle down the first save to 4 minutes 48 seconds (first try was a little over 7 minutes). There're so many unpredictable variables between the Yorda and shadows AI, Ico's procedural movement cycle, the animations that long overstay button inputs and the mildly outdated camera/controls. It's too tempting to redo a section over and over until you get a perfect run and shave the maximum amount of seconds possible. Gotta be able to afford fucking up later on. Especially the last 30-40 minutes when I won't be able to save the game - and know my time - until I finish.
