Absolutely. The best content they've released in almost decades. I even hate reaction videos, but to me, this is more nuanced. Game development is a tricky industry where the creators treat their games as their baby. They know the ins and out of their game. To see their creation get dissected by skill, glitches and exploits is very entertaining.
I love how the chat are just roasting the lore "Hollow sword : A sword with a hollow center" "even the baguette has a lore" "mango has the deepest lore"
Kinda embarassing how you can just run and roll and all the mobs are too slow to react to you. It's not like it requires skill or anything, just go straight and roll and you can ignore everything but the boss...
@@GuillaumeG-oz3hz All souls games are like that though. You can always run past enemies. But your first time, you wouldn't since you don't know where to go and what lies ahead. The running past enemies is a game design to allow players to go straight to the boss once they know where the boss fight is. Removes the tedium of having to slowly fight enemies one by one. This is also one of the reasons why DS2 SotF was shite. The enemy's aggro distance is way too long that you have to fight every enemy in a room before progressing, or else they'll follow you. Having to do this 3 or 4 times again and again everytime you die, it'll get tedious.
19:35 "How's he gonna deal with this though? Oh, apparently very easily. Never mind." I think that just about perfectly sums up speedrunning right there.
Just because this game is more on the short side is not a bad thing ( I do wish it was longer but you get what you get) the combat is really fun and the visuals are amazing, I hope this game gets dlc or something like that in the future.
He made more progress In 8 minutes than I’ve made since the games been out. I also love how Much the devs appreciate these type of runs. This style isn’t for me but it’s such a cool thing these guys found a game within a game.
People say speed runners ruin games but this man put in mad play time to learn how to do this. Devs should love the speed runs, its one of the ways people show real appreciation to games
i love it when speedrunners find crazy exploids like "hit that thing and fly into the air" and the dev team just sweats and laughs "waiiiit what?". i totally feel that bro :D
That is insane! If the devs see this though please don't try and make a game so impossibly hard to stop speed runners. They'll find an exploit... I won't lol
It’s absolutely wonderful to have dev commentary on a speedrun. Thanks guys. (EDIT) To the devs: guys, very few humans can do stuff like this - please let ‘em have their fun and let the rest of us mere mortals attempt to try (and fail) at the same glitches ;-) - don’t patch ‘em!
HA, ign properly supporting the people who actually have the wr multiple times over is like expecting a GDQ event to do the same, everyone want and expects it but theyll never budge, lots of times these people find a run its some guy a month in the process who has a pb 4 mins behind the actual wr
Distortion hasn’t been showing his face in his speed runs a lot. He also swears a lot more now than he used to, so although still an awesome speed runner, probably hard to show him on this.
Whenever I see these videos, all I can think of is Jurassic Park, "we need locking mechanisms on the vehicle doors!" or better yet, "uh, you can't do that...can they do that?!"
So what you're saying is that speedrunning while being not-sober-minded (be it due to sleep deprivation, drunkness or anything else) is the ultimate experience...
I really love the Dev talk. They r not angry like some other Devs seeing speed runner skipping everything using the glitch. They understand the brilliance behind this speed run. This guy definitely finish this game over 100 times to fully understood the whole maps n every inch of its world. Alive this video.
Of course it's lil aggy. If you like speed runs check out his channel. He has the current WR for all achievements on sekiro and he was a previous holder for a ton of the sekiro speed runs plus he does crazy challenges (blindfolded isshin sword said, sekiro on DK bongos, sekiro on dance dance revolution dance pad thing, ect)
anton vitaly and andrew i dont know if you will see this, but if you do... you have made an amazing game, i preordered right away. Keep following that vision and the next cp2077 will come from you guys
Did the Devs forget you could block fall damage with Harden? I noticed they were wondering how he survived the superlaunches from the central temple and the drop into the ice temple, but they should already know about the harden-fall mechanic from the 3rd boss right, how you need to harden so you don't lose a life when it drops you into the arena? They kept mentioning "maybe he rolled through the damage" or "finding the perfect angle" but its really just hitting a button in time.
with a shell you need an ability, shelless specifically can do it with harden, the others can't off the bat, and only 1 member on the team put that effect into place so the others prob didn't really think of it (plus that one major fall has massive kill boxes you have to kinda fall around precisely)
Idk why the devs are wondering about fall damage when he's hardening while rolling on impact? I thought they did that on purpose yet none of the devs knew how he was surviving
This is impressive. When I played, the Solomon shell trivializes this whole game, once I found it. You can basically fill 6 bars of resolve and and head to a boss. Taking out single phase bosses in two ability uses and two phase bosses in four ability uses.
This is by FAR my favorite thing IGN does on their UA-cam channel
Yeah, a neat way to see the developers!

@@Decoii couldn't agree more
Agreed
The only thing they've done right.
Lmao "what wait hows he skip that"
"Is that skippable?"
"It is now"
My favorite part was the “oh he HAS to take out the 3 fires to get passed the gate” then he just rolled over it lmao.
I like how when one dev talks about possibly patching in a skip button, his only concern is previous speed run times would have to be re done
I love how the chat are just roasting the lore
"Hollow sword : A sword with a hollow center"
"even the baguette has a lore"
"mango has the deepest lore"
tbh it's Hallowed Sword so they goofed there
"Is it skippable?" "It is now." I love these.
I want to like, but you're at 69 - the greatest number of them all.
17:13 "The boss is trying to get away from him, you are the boss now."
Speed runners after setting a world record.
Everyone: No one could have done better.
Speed runner: I could have done better.
"How are you?"
"I've been better... How are you?"
"I've been better"
@@julianroese9895 *Oblivion music starts playing*
Not really speed running if you're glitching all the time.
Lol till years and years of playing it getting the same time then they realise finally that 10 seconds is the fastest time never to be beaten
@@ZeroPhilosopher do you know what any% means
really hope the devs get enough money to make a much longer second game cos this one was amazing
me too bro.. hope they will :)
They will release dlc but like extended content kinda thing id day for free or atkeast some not not free
@@anthonyboland9436 dlc really? i tested today and it's a cool game.
@@anthonyboland9436 Did they say that? Last statement I know was "There are no plans on DLCs yet"

18:00 "Super easy barely an inconvenience.", this line proves how much these devs are active on the internet, also how much awesome they are.
You have a movie for me?
Wow wow wow wow wow
Collision detection is tight
Devs being down to earth and cool is tight!
I like how they acknowledge how he drank without a mouth.
Just because this game is more on the short side is not a bad thing ( I do wish it was longer but you get what you get) the combat is really fun and the visuals are amazing, I hope this game gets dlc or something like that in the future.
Nightranger I guess if they make enough money they might do so.
Yes, I definitely agree. Quality over quantity is always a must for me.
yea man, great foundation to build upon~
Short games aren't bad, but there's nothing wrong with wanting a longer one.
I mean it could be extended with DLC and I actually would love that.
19:36 “How’s he going to deal with this though?” *one second later* “Oh. Apparently very easily.”
Basically sums up this entire series.
19:02
Aggy: "where tf am I?"
Devs: omg they just know exactly where they are and where they're going.
he knows where he is lol he is just waiting for the stone form to reload
"Super easy, barely an inconvenience" i like the pitch meeting reference around 18:00
He made more progress In 8 minutes than I’ve made since the games been out. I also love how

Puddin127 I think that goes over peoples heads. The amount of time you put in learning.
He's glitching his way through so I wouldn't call it a speedrun
@@ZeroPhilosopher its a speedrun. doesnt matter if you glitch or not. speedrunning means you should finish as fast as possible.
@@ZeroPhilosopher There is a reason there are many segments for speedrunning. You can either do it without glitches, or you can do it with glitches.
@@ZeroPhilosopher maybe u should touch grass instead of arguing about speed runs.
“Sure, whatever man” is something you expect to hear from every Game Developer watching someone exploit their game for time.
i love it when speedrunners find crazy exploids like "hit that thing and fly into the air" and the dev team just sweats and laughs "waiiiit what?". i totally feel that bro :D
"I think he has played it before"
In case anyone else was wondering: This was LilAggy's 120th attempt - it says the amount beside the title!
*"Uhm... You weren't supposed to do that..."* The UA-cam Series
The guy looks sooo high doing this incredibly difficult run, amazing
Was thinking the same thing, lookin like the sloth from Zootopia lol
looks absolutely baked 😂
He's got that pro look where nothing fazes him
Wait you play sober?
The Dark Side wth does that mean :0 u play souls games while being high?
Super easy.. barely an inconvenience!
Wow wow wow wow wow
Speedruns are tight!
I’ma need you to get off his back. Like all the way off.
This aint screenrant
Immediately went to the comments after I heard that haha
Its nice when the devs don't get all butthurt about glitches for speed running. And instead just enjoy the skill level of the runner.
18:00 nice screen rant reference.
"SUPER easy. Bearly an inconvenience!"
Dev: spends 3 months on boss fight
Player: melts 2 bosses in 3min
Salty Dev thinking:(next patch will be lit)
Since he doesn’t use any shells in this one, is the game just called “Mortal”?
More like immortal
more like unmortal
Mortaln't??
I wasnt fast enough to reply immortal
Mor-isn-tal??
This game was a blast. I hope it’s done well enough to entice a sequel with some expanded lore and story.
21:30
"oh whoa"
"Whoa"
"WHAT?"
.....
"Did we have a portal there?"
Oh my sides. That was funny.
Comparing these guys to some other devs from this channel shows how some work environments are more friendly and understanding than others.
they should do a series where devs react to players who gets frustrated/ rage quit on their game.
The thinly veiled rage behind their laughs is just *chefs kiss*.
That is insane! If the devs see this though please don't try and make a game so impossibly hard to stop speed runners. They'll find an exploit... I won't lol
lmao this made me laugh
I'd like to watch Sekiro devs react to the same speed runner's completion of Sekiro using only his feet for the controller.
I'm absolutely waiting for this type of speed run to appear on here
20:12 Anton/Vitaly, my sweet summer child

The most funny thing is that Distortion had beat this record a lot of times. Maybe you guys should show Distortion 2 speedruns to developers
HA, ign properly supporting the people who actually have the wr multiple times over is like expecting a GDQ event to do the same, everyone want and expects it but theyll never budge, lots of times these people find a run its some guy a month in the process who has a pb 4 mins behind the actual wr
Distortion hasn’t been showing his face in his speed runs a lot. He also swears a lot more now than he used to, so although still an awesome speed runner, probably hard to show him on this.
One Dev: It's super easy.
Second Dev: Barely an inconvenience.
This was sick, great run and I love hearing the devs crack up when people just break their game 😂
18:00, did the dev just make a reference to Screen Rants Pitch Meetings? didn't expect that when i clicked on an IGN video
Whenever I see these videos, all I can think of is Jurassic Park, "we need locking mechanisms on the vehicle doors!" or better yet, "uh, you can't do that...can they do that?!"
18:58 "he's not supposed to be here"
I’m blown away!!! He made it like piece of cake. Great play
Dev - How's he going to deal with this though...1 second later...apparently very easily
20:20 you can start listening to their pain after he skips the seat of infinity's entrance
Looks like a really fun game whether you're speed running or not. Devs seem pretty chill.
It's a lot of fun, gameplay surprised me with how smooth it was.
Playing games like this is like watching movies on triple speed.
So what you're saying is that speedrunning while being not-sober-minded (be it due to sleep deprivation, drunkness or anything else) is the ultimate experience...
That’s my boy Lil Aggy

Alive this video.
Omg... This reaction idea is so awesome
Amazing watch. He fought all the bosses cleanly (as in, without skipping and only using tools given by the game). Great use of Golden Bell at the end.
The spanish sounding developer on their team sounded offended the entire time lol, fair
These are always the best videos on this damn channel and the only thing worth watching.
"Whats most interesting is how you can see close up of the butt" hahaha
Of course it's lil aggy. If you like speed runs check out his channel.

This was really fun to hear haha the devs seem really cool
18:00 Looks like someone watches Screen Rants's Pitch Meetings!~
Why does the speedrunner look stoned out of his mind lmao
I was waiting for one of the devs to say "they massacred my boi"
Very cool to watch, love seeing the devs reactions
Wow, it's taken me double that to NOT get up the stairs of the dim gate with the foundling 🤣
"Or maybe he just went to cry a lil bit" lmao nooo T-T XD "Oh this is so cool" the pain behind that statement.
they got a lot of the basics of a souls like right on, I can't wait till they give a huge and epic campaign in mortal shell 2.
14:55 had us all shocked lol
next video: Executive producers react to 28minute game development
You guys did a great job with this game
What happens after 14:55 and the pain in their laugh is hilarious.
Simple, he roll-dodges off the edge, then hardens just before he hits the ground to avoid fall damage.
Such an amazing run, a mix of skill and exploits, love it!
Aggy always looks like he is a little high. But so perfectly that it gives him superhuman speedrunning skills.
You work 5 or 6 years on a game and some random dude plays it like this 😂 you got to love the world man.
anton vitaly and andrew i dont know if you will see this, but if you do... you have made an amazing game, i preordered right away. Keep following that vision and the next cp2077 will come from you guys
this comment didn’t age well

That obsidian level is beautiful!!
i hope There dlc In the future Awesome game
He's not suppose to be there. Hahaha best line ever. 🤣
Did anyone else catch him saying "super easy barely an inconvenience" ?
I'm not sure if the devs are genuinely laughing or just nervously laughing at all these glitches they didn't account for lmao.
Probably a mix of both but I feel like it's mostly the first one, genuine surprise
Would be cool to see one of these Dev Speedruns with the speedrunner in the chat with them.
did one of the devs just says "super easy barely an inconvenience?"

19 hours😑👍
figuring out that fall must have taken forever
This was pretty awesome more devs need to do commentary on speedruns.
It made me laugh when the devs was shocked that he rolled past the guard outside the seat of infinity… you can literally do that with any shell loool
