Judging by the comments I guess I’m pretty much alone in finding the live conversation about game dev greed and micro transactions fairly amusing between the post-recorded commentary explaining the glitches and strats.
There's a former Monstrum WR, in which the runner talks about physics and explains certain experiments. At the end he's like: "well I guess that's in the WR now" :D
No matter how many achievements of cata I see and no matter how much I try to comprehend the level of performance he demands of himself, I still can't get over him executing a fight in what I perceive as a flawless fashion, just to say: "Yeah, that was shit".
All the hours wasted just to save a few milliseconds i have nothing but respect for it especially like Pegasus glitch can ruin a run in a split second with a bad respawn
criminally underrated channel. I do not understand how you only have 50k subs when you have content this interesting, and such high production quality. You easily make the best videos of your genre (fromsoft speedrun related).
Cata, I've never played a souls game before but I have seen all of them. I have an imp year ahead of me and after that I will start playing them. I've watched various speedruns of souls game but none of them are as enticing as yours. Gl, u bring positivity
Bro, on one of your videos I literally was freaking out trying to figure out why my sound wasn't working and then I realized you weren't using the live audio at the time. The mic is a great overlay addition!
I enjoyed the game development talk. Regarding pay, it's common for the development team to receive bonuses after the game launches depending on sales and deadlines. I'm currently in school learning to make games
In regards to immersive sims, I'm glad to see the indie scene finally stepping into those with Gloomwood and Monomyth, the former of which has had a quite big Early Access release!
I came for an hour long all remembrances run and stayed for the very based and candid statements on AAA game companies, publishers, and developers. TL;DR didn't know you were cool like that.
Thank you for bringing such awesome content😍 Elden Ring broke me so I can't play it anymore (for my ps4's safety XD) But this videos are always so entertaining and amazing, thank you for another video I will watch infinite times😍
nice run, the all remembrances glitchless one sounds good too. this one has a lot of interesting tech but i can see why it isn't holding your attention/passion for long. nonetheless getting your time this low is quite a feat and i hope you find some challengers in the one you'll be working on now
That one dude... Game development prices has gone DOWN due to the availability of tools and standardized development. Marketing his gone UP. Massive difference.
cutting between the two audio streams was confusing and unpleasant imo, enjoyed the run and the commentary otherwise but the chunks of stream audio detracted from the experience for me, particularly because we were just getting little snippets of that conversation. part of this is just my own weird hangups about not enjoying live streams, but it was really disorienting for a sentence of commentary to end and just immediately switch to the stream conversation. its like trying to have 2 different conversations at once, but you only get little bits of one of them. not trying to hate, and appreciate the attempt at a somewhat original format, as well as the work you've put in here in general, but thought this perspective might be valuable nonetheless
@@catalystz well that's the hard question of this format. nobody wants dead air, but i do think there could at least be a little breathing room in the edit so you maybe like, start the stream audio at the start of a sentence. its the kind of thing that would require some experimentation to really dial in. i also think you might consider just finding something to talk about in those parts, i'm sure there are things to elaborate on, although i also get that coming up with running commentary is no easy task.
I really enjoy the insight and explainations in this vid. Only feedback is that the live commentary is screamish/bad quality sound, really threw me off. Thanks for great content though!
You can scroll through my Speedrun profile here: www.speedrun.com/user/catalystz Most of what I have done will be there, but I really mostly speedrun FromSoft stuff now outside of marathons.
I've seen my fair share of super dumb comments over the years but this one has to take first place, how would releasing a game at a more expensive price would help if it was already been developed ( half developed/unfinished )? This guy ! ¯\(°_o)/¯ Amazing job Cata , good luck with the glitchless run , can't wait for it .
Your conversation is freakingly boring. Like if, one of you is : A company holder, a game developper, a sociologist or even an economist. Most of the comment talk about their own perception of what reality is.. No facts, no statistics, no just BS. Trying to convince people with tin air. Excellent run, tho. Very dramatic how you pass form catastrophic, to WR :D Gg man !
kinda amusing that you're holding an entire conversation about game dev economics while casually breaking the record... but personally, i'm glad i was here for as little of that as possible. not what i'm interested in.
Those parts are just the live broadcast of the speedrun. He was talking to his twitch chat to make the tedious parts of the run more bearable. All of the explanations are post-commentary, as indicated by the red mic on his camera
Good vid. I always watch your content. But man, they did spoil Elden Ring with lazy boss design and patched it up with Spirit Summons. And there are some people like me who play it for conquering the odds so that's how I am. DS3 was my first souls game and with DS1 and Sekiro, they literally cured me of depression and irrational fears, so I will play they whatsoever they like. Grow some empathy instead calling other people that their way of thinking sucks also that MMO analogy completely missed the mark. Good luck for future runs. 👍
Thank you for your comment. I don't know exactly which parts of the video you are referring to but I was trying to say that it doesn't really matter how you play the game as long as you enjoy it. I never judge anyone regardless of whether they use summons or not or any other arbitrary rule.
The live commentary feels like it's speaking a basic truth (increase price does not = increased quality) and then conflating it with a false truth (capitalism thrives when it provides as little as possible for its workers, and reduces quality to bare minimum to increase profit margin). I have seen so many companies die when new management tries to operate under the notion that everything is a number and worker satisfaction is a luxury, not a necessity.
It's obviously a much more nuanced discussion than what I was able to cover during the run. Without further context I will just say that the companies you mention simply didn't recognize the bottom wage (and other benefits) level that the employees would be willing to tolerate.
Wait, did you call State entitled corporations "capitalists"? It's kinda weird that we've gone from slavers calling abolitionists "capitalism" to now calling mercantilism "capitalism".
Games are very expnesive to make, and it takes years to make one. And then you release and Reddit a.k.a "the worst shithole on the Internet" suddenly decides to hate it because that's what they love. "Yeah! Let's hate this game/movie/series together! WHy youtube doesnt show dislikes anymore! We don't care that dislikes are still there and visible to the video's creator - I NEED TO SEE THAT WE ALL HATE THIS GAME TOGETHER!!! YAYAYAYAY!! THIS GAME IS THE WORST GAME EVER MADE!! HAHA!!! MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES!!!". So yup, games shoud be bit more expensive (Sony does it already) + developers should ignore any Internet reaction and just make nice games.
These combination videos of live commentary and post commentary are really perfect man. Excellent work
Glad you enjoy this format! Thank you.
Can we have a moment of silence for the guy that said the run is dead
Timestamp if you have it?
35:00
Clearly a joke lol
@@havocr LG
@@prismaticc_abyss Damn so someone can't make a joke about another joke. Didn't learn much humour as a kid did ya buddy?
If only every speedrun could be explained that way... Thanks, dude, and congrats with WR! It was an awesome run
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the grats ^^
I like the addition of the post commentary mic icon. You're frikin genius
Judging by the comments I guess I’m pretty much alone in finding the live conversation about game dev greed and micro transactions fairly amusing between the post-recorded commentary explaining the glitches and strats.
Can't always know what exactly will be discussed during a WR! I thought it was interesting enough to keep in there ^^
There's a former Monstrum WR, in which the runner talks about physics and explains certain experiments. At the end he's like: "well I guess that's in the WR now" :D
@@catalystz agreed. Sick run too, it’s always fun to watch you absolutely smash through these games and hear how it’s done firsthand
No matter how many achievements of cata I see and no matter how much I try to comprehend the level of performance he demands of himself, I still can't get over him executing a fight in what I perceive as a flawless fashion, just to say: "Yeah, that was shit".
😂 speedrunners just always think about "what could have been"...
All the hours wasted just to save a few milliseconds i have nothing but respect for it especially like Pegasus glitch can ruin a run in a split second with a bad respawn
As someone that started elder ring 3 weeks ago, i apreciate this a lot!
Nooo don't spoil it
@@celticdash dw i already have more than 150 hrs and finisced my first run xd

Thank you so much for the kind words! Good luck on the upcoming year and don't hesitate to share your experience with me in the future.
I love how one of Souls' very best runners also just so happens to make absurdly high quality content. You're beast Cata!
I really like the run explanation videos. Even if you already know most of them, it's a very nice overview
Bro, on one of your videos I literally was freaking out trying to figure out why my sound wasn't working and then I realized you weren't using the live audio at the time. The mic is a great overlay addition!
If Skyrim has thought me anything, is that coding horses into your game is usually a godsend to speedrunners 😂
I love those videos where you explain every step about it
That end segment goes hard
You never fail to amaze, Cata
I enjoyed the game development talk. Regarding pay, it's common for the development team to receive bonuses after the game launches depending on sales and deadlines. I'm currently in school learning to make games
In regards to immersive sims, I'm glad to see the indie scene finally stepping into those with Gloomwood and Monomyth, the former of which has had a quite big Early Access release!
I don’t even play this game but had to sub because horses galloping through the air has to be one of the most amusing techniques to watch 😂
I love your commentary videos thank you!
Thoroughly impressed by not only the talent but the sheer depth of knowledge. S rating my man. Well done
You can still do the pizza chainsaw swap it just requires the zero stamina weapon swap now
That is a good piece of content. Nicely done, Cata!
I came for an hour long all remembrances run and stayed for the very based and candid statements on AAA game companies, publishers, and developers.
TL;DR didn't know you were cool like that.
Love these speedrun explained videos.
Please don't take this the wrong way, mate, but your videos are the best for falling asleep. Informative and easy to listen to. 10/10
Long time i haven't watch your stream Cata, glad to see that nice video on YT. GZ on the WR :D
hell yeah game devs need labor unions!
Amazing run and video as always cata
Thank you for bringing such awesome content😍

Yes another speed run I can watch 8 times 😫
THis is the best combo of world record with live AND post comment.
Glad you enjoyed this format!
Love these commentary vids Cata! Keep them up
Hey, Cata. Can you post the original as well? I really enjoyed listening to the discussion about game pricing etc. but it's hard to find the full VOD.
Hey! The vod is actually linked in the Description!
Based catalystz advocating for labor unions
Gg, never thought this game could get any crazier.
Fantastic commentary as always
How in the hell can you perform on this level WHILE reading and answering chat? respect man
loved the morgott skip, good luck with routing glitchless!!
Chat being hard-core 5head in the background had me in stitches 🤣
14:23 was Reset City derived from Suplex City? 😂
lmao I honestly don't remember if I called my stream that before the Summerslam match but heck, maybe they are in the same state!
Can we admit that glitching needs to be accessible for all consoles in World Records attempts not just pc player's.
Congrats man!
Man I just wanna say I love your voice
Congratulations!
The mosquito did give you luck lol
That one dude... Game development prices has gone DOWN due to the availability of tools and standardized development. Marketing his gone UP. Massive difference.
To get to volcano manor you can just fall to death down there to respawn at volcano manor.
extremely happy to hear you're a pro-union guy
I enjoyed the video, but I found that you in-run voice to be mixed a little bit too loud
Lmao just check my notifs.
Brb pizA
Pizza time 🍕
its funny how morgott kill plain exploit used to be used the way to farm in mohgs palace for high level runs
hype!
This is f**king cool

I definitely appreciate the feedback. So you are saying you would simply prefer silence if there is not much to really commentate about?

is pizza swap working on current patch
Yes but with a different setup
I have no idea whatsoever what accent it is that you have ? What country or language are you native too ?
Horse riding simulator
Yeah it sucks that no matter what you do, what restrictions you employ, there will always be so much running in Elden Ring because of its sheer size.
DS2aa?
What non-Fromsoft games do you run?

Amazing job Cata , good luck with the glitchless run , can't wait for it .
Awesome run, but chat talking about AAA games and how they're priced... Let's say they have no idea how the industry works.
Your conversation is freakingly boring.
Like if, one of you is : A company holder, a game developper, a sociologist or even an economist.
Most of the comment talk about their own perception of what reality is.. No facts, no statistics, no just BS. Trying to convince people with tin air.
Excellent run, tho. Very dramatic how you pass form catastrophic, to WR :D Gg man !
kinda amusing that you're holding an entire conversation about game dev economics while casually breaking the record...
but personally, i'm glad i was here for as little of that as possible. not what i'm interested in.
Sub hour incoming soon
This is less a speedrun commentary and more a complaint about ... profits? Making games? I'm not sure, but it really derailed the commentary.
Those parts are just the live broadcast of the speedrun. He was talking to his twitch chat to make the tedious parts of the run more bearable. All of the explanations are post-commentary, as indicated by the red mic on his camera
Is this current patch?
this trinity run is just a little too glitchy for me tbh , congrats tho
I agree, hence why I work on Glitchless now! Thank you ^^
thanks for delivering some juicy anti-capitalist discourse while playing. gg
😂 discussion do get wild on stream sometimes.
hmm feels more like shouting right into my face than talking.

Thank you for your comment. I don't know exactly which parts of the video you are referring to but I was trying to say that it doesn't really matter how you play the game as long as you enjoy it. I never judge anyone regardless of whether they use summons or not or any other arbitrary rule.

It's kinda weird that we've gone from slavers calling abolitionists "capitalism" to now calling mercantilism "capitalism".
Came for the speedrun, left for the weird and misguided economics rambling
How can you sound fine in the commentary but nails on a chalkboard during live.
Believe it or not, reading from a prepared script and being live on camera for multiple hours are two pretty different activities.
Inflation has not to do with globalisation. Stick with computer games please. We didn't come here for an economic lesson. We are gamers. Please.....
Outsourcing does though, and that’s what the chatter he was talking to brought up, not inflation
Wow on a few months old patch with all the broken bugs and glitches. So impressive, DAMN.............. nope just cringe.
u r cringe
Games are very expnesive to make, and it takes years to make one. And then you release and Reddit a.k.a "the worst shithole on the Internet" suddenly decides to hate it because that's what they love.
