Wow you can beat a game fast. But the amount of skill showed in memorizing a game so you can literally go through it as fast as possible and the amount of fun they seem to be having does justify it completely.

I have nothing against speedunners but I find it fucking annoying when a game has one of those "finish the game under X hours" trophies that's literally impossible to get unless you just rush through the game as fast as possible, skipping every scene and not doing anything optional. Like...what's the point of that crap?

Why are you doing this on your first playthrough?

When I did it for Ico, I learned a bunch of time-saving methods that I otherwise wouldn't have thought of doing, and it made the game more fun because usually it meant you were skipping the boring combat. I appreciate the game a lot more now, knowing how well it's designed to allow that.

Every game you play for the first time is a speedrun.

Literally the opposite.
