Casual VS Speedrun in GTAV #1 - The Beginning of the Timesave

I want to try out a video series doing a rather in depth look at the comparison of a casual playthrough of a game compared to a speedrunner. Considering I'm close to getting top 3 in GTAV's Speedrun Leaderboards I figure I'm qualified to make a series about this game. I hope you agree.

I am playing as both the casual player and the speedrunner, so it's like facing against myself with a 10 foot pole. For the casual player, I play the game as if I've watched a GTA V speedrunner play the game once or so, so I know the mission order and where to go between missions, then play the missions as the game instructs you, giving the most shockingly average gameplay you've ever seen.

the casual player here is still much better than about 80% of people that do heists, lol.

"Some" casual players go to Vanilla Unicorn in between missions too, like 30 minutes per visit. 8)

I personally abused franklin's power at literally every corner...

1: Prologue - 0:00
2: Franklin and Lamar - 2:55
3: Repossession - 6:36
4: Pulling Favors - 10:30

[owwahow]

Omg the casual is better than every rando I do a heist with

That is awesome how much time all those little things save. Really like this concept and that it is cut into smaller sections like a few missions at a time. Looking forward to more :D

Next do "Realistic player" that obeys the road laws and waits at red lights XD

Franklin's power is so obnoxiously fun to use. I don't know if it's powerful or not, but being able to take corners at max speed gives me dopamine and adrenaline that I don't even think gambling would give me.

Amazing work there, really like the editing. :)

Who else didn't know you could just straight up skip the gunfight as Trevor

6:16 So this is a world record to get to the legendary Lamar Roasts Franklin ?!

and here i am, spending some 30 hours on tuning every single car that exists in the game and painting the guns and doing whatnot

I usually don't comment, but this video and channel deserves the attention. I would love if you continued the series, I'm personally not into speedrunning, but this makes me appreciate the effort some people do to make their run quicker. Thanks for the video. :)

I would love to see you try GTA 4 next haha, with such a dense map alot of memorizing routes would go into it xD.

[chrisrioux]

This is really well done! The speedups and clock at the bottom to compare them in the same spot is really impressive. I'm sure that's a lot of work in editing, keep it up!

[MichaelVine]

Surely I'm not the only person that just hides in train/subway tunnels to lose the cops?

[OlafurArons]

As someone pretty much just now getting into speed running after being a gamer for over two decades, i welcome this sort of content.
People will ask "why?", and the best answer always is "Because it's faster!"

[soulassassing]

6:17 Lamar roasts Franklin but it's skipped because it's a speedrun.

Subscribed just to see more of this. Your commentary is clean and very concise, I love it. Masterful editing as well, no time wasted, no information lost either. More, please!
