hey i forgot to change the "subcribe" to "subscribe" on my video-end template again because its 6am and i just wanna go to bed so please send your complaints here thanks: www.twitch.tv/friendlybaron As always open to all criticism, main thing i tried to improve on this video was getting 1080p and keeping my voice slower and more consistent, and took the time to re-record over every mistake.
That's how I played. I think he should experience it as a normal person trying to complete the game quickly, but with no planing or understanding of the game.
@@FriendlyBaron loving the nostalgia of GTA. But in the next episode you could put a comment in that people play with different aims, but I think that the "casual" that you play plays alot like a my self the first time I played it through. It's really nice to have something to compare the "speedrun" to. Keep them coming!
I personally don't mind how good/bad the casual player is, as the most interesting part of the video is the tips and glitches you give for speedrunners
@@Kanerz420 You can watch me do full runs on twitch if you are into that, though i don't always go as in depth during runs unless someone asks a question lol.
Hadnt heard of you before finding this series, but ive been real excited for this episode since! Cant wait to see some time saving strats for some of my hated missions later on in the game.
Thanks my man! everyones gotta start somewhere, and it seems this series is my "start" :) im quite new to speedrunning/youtube anyways, only 4 months into it
@@FriendlyBaron For real, wouldnt be any fun if you started at the top haha, doing well so far. The effort that you put into making these really shows.
i sure hope you are learning alot friend who may have a cameo in this video that i forgot to put in the description but you guys should look at him do speedruns too www.twitch.tv/burhac
@@JorgetePanete Thanks, I get bit confused when it is 's and just s, I know that it is 's when you want to say is, but otherwise but confused. I am not native English speaker, but I go to International school, but I joined it too late, and so they didn't teach me any grammar, and I am a bit too lazy to learn it my self.
Like FriendlyBaron said. Usually by mistake or just messing around. Like falling of the map in Ocarina of time in a certain way in the end allows you to skip a large part of the tower. I would guess someone either fell by mistake or was just jumping down everywhere hoping to get it.
Hi, Baron I just wanted to say that I think that this series is great, and I wanted to kind of make you motivated to make more episodes I guess so I hope this does it. Love the videos man!
@@FriendlyBaron Don't feel any pressure, I wanted yo let you know how much I and people appreciate the hard work that you put into this. I completely understand that you have work I do too have a great weekend!
at 5:11, you could highlight the speedrunner's mouse flick, and then switch over to the casual getting stuck on the door, as i kind of missed that my first run through at 9:45, this is an excellent example of what the highlighting can do for your future videos; i was prepped on "yes that is taking a while", and then got to see the speed strat. at 10:40, we get a audio cue to look at the speedrun, but a zoom or highlight here would make it even easier to understand for me, i would appreciate a highlight system just because, as a fan of speedrunning, I am most frequently watching the "speedrun" screen. When a moment on the casual run is being mentioned, i have most likely already missed it, and need to go back a moment and watch again. I love watching speedruns, and your handling of what i had previously thought would be an onerous run to watch (with GTA V being such a huge game) is making this a great series. I've never seen this run before, but I'm definitely enjoying it!
thanks for these, appreciate the feedback. im thinking i may try having the "casual" or "speedrun" title glow when you should focus on them as well as the appropriate timer. i'll play around with it.
I love this series. It`s so interesting and fun to watch the difference between the speedrun and the casual. Especially since I didn’t know of most the tricks that you use, keep it up man!
Not a bad idea - though we haven't done full routing on the other heist options before besides basic testing, so that'd require quite a bit of work. I could always throw it into an unlisted video for the super interested.
Speedrunning is very interesting and you just make it so graspable, so easy to understand. I love this series. I know it's old now, but I DO support this. We need more speedrunners taking their time of day explaining exactly what they do. This is how you get more people interested. I am even as you explain it thinking about running the game myself. This, too, instantly triggered me playing the game again. I now try to 100% it on PC (versus on PS3 what I did before) so I can enjoy the online mode with my friends more, and I try to get the maximum amount of money to buy stuff and to invest into the stockmarket, which I also learn to manipulate (ingame, of course). Maybe, MAYBE, if I'm very bored in the next months, I will sit down and make a comprehensive guide on how to 100% the game and how to get the best money etc.
I'm in so love this with series that every week I actually wait for it. Thanks man. Just wish somehow you could speed production and produce 2 vids a week.
yeah i pretty much work 2 jobs right now so i cant go any faster unless these videos started making enough to cover my living costs. and you know with youtubes advertiser state right now... yeah not happening i dont think...
Hopefully you'll make career out of UA-cam. And just to mention I remember my first playthrough of gta v and it was pretty much like the casual. So no complains there
Just started playing GTA V a few weeks ago. Been playing through different ways and surfing the interweb for tips, tricks and secrets. Came across a few other streamers that are hilarious or crazy good and definitely fun to watch but, you're exactly what I've been trying to find. Detailed information and explanations. Thank you. Please keep it coming.
Also this is my most anticipated series on UA-cam right now. These insane shortcuts and your seemingly boundless knowledge of the game make this extremely entertaining.
@8:24 - At this point I'm not wondering why you're hopping like a madman on a BMX bike. I know my speedruns, if something's weird, it's most likely fast.
my friend who also speedruns has a bot that replies to anyone who asks a question that starts with "why" with the answer "because its faster", and the bot is correct 99% of the time.
I love this series so much. Usually a video like this would be kind of boring to most people, but you keep it really interesting and explain it all so well. Can't wait for the rest of this series :D
I've never been Interested in speed running. I've never watched it, never wanted to learn about it. This series is fucking awesome! I love how much knowledge and efficiency is put into the runs! The amount of planning,min maxing and minute details blow my mind. I understand why this is such a sport to people now. Thank you!
I am absolutely loving your content. UA-cam algorithm recommend me this series last week and I’m thoroughly enjoying it! I’m always excited to see your newest episodes. As for the casual run. I absolutely agree with it. I’ve played every GTA since Vice City and I’ve never did speed runs, but you are pretty spot on with everything I did during the missions. It’s like you recorded my first play through! Haha
i am so surprised you have actually taken the time to do this i absolutely love it even though im not gonna ever speed run it this is still very interesting and i honestly think your casual run through is perfect for what a normal player going though the the game would do
i just wanted to stop by and say that the amount of effort you're putting into these videos is crazy good. I'm loving this so far and I'm hooked. please keep them coming
@@avocadojr.3778 personally i dont wanna go over 20 minutes. i feel like 15-20 min is that perfect time of really getting people invested, but not being so long as to begin boring people.
Just found this channel. Wow. Great video. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I enjoy video games but haven’t ever done any serious speed running so this is such great insight into the mindset, tactics, and reasons why. Thank you.
Just recently watched my first gta v speedrun, casual%, and I immediately found it be one of my fav games to watch run this video and series is dope AF keep it up. You give really good insight about times saves and tricks used in the run.
Starts watching this series 1 and a half hour ago. Watchs the second ep. Sees there is no more. Gets sad. Watch something else. Goes to homepage to see if there is anything interesting. Sees this. Happiness overload.
The casual run seems very fair to me you don't really do anything that would make me say that was just time wasting. Plus when you just play it like a normal person would then you'd be doing a whole bunch of random off mission things like exploring areas of the map
i know these videos are years old at this point and you (obviously) know what you are doing, but i wanna say i think yer "casual player" play is pretty spot on. it's always going to be better/worse than SOMEONE, but i think you've nailed it. opening the map for a waypoint, following the yellow/purple line, crashing, checking out clothes, doing exactly what the game tells/wants you to do...these are all things the average non-speedrun-player is going to do. ESPECIALLY if it's someone who hasn't played through the game many many times (which i'm not entirely sure is something the average person does). these videos are great and even if i'm just some non speedrunning chump, i'm definitely gonna try some of this stuff out just for fun on my nearly endless replays of this game.
Thanks! I explained this on stream once, but back when i first made these, i would often get comments like "your casual player is too bad!" and "your casual player is too good!", and i think getting both kinda guided me into finding the perfect middle. Can't please everyone, but i think i found the best medium i could of what an average player would do.
@@FriendlyBaron true. Though normally I end up playing the game that I watch. I usually only watch people play a game and not play it myself is if it's stuff like this that takes a lot of skill or a game that I don't necessarily want to play but I want to know how good the game is.
I think your interpretation of an average casual player is perfect. I remember back when I played this game for the first time when it was released on the 360, and up to last year when I would just screw around with my friends in GTA Online, mostly just causing chaos by killing players for the fun of it. Some may have even called me a tryhard due to how good I was, and I could understand it. I was never a speedrunner, but I love watching these. It's really interesting to see the different strategies and methods used. I've subscribed and turned notifications on so I won't miss a single episode of this series.
Honestly, you’ve balanced the casual player really well, everyone’s time for playing GTA causally varies but the first time I played, my play through looked near enough exactly like how your casual plays so I’d say you’ve done a pretty good job
I know i'm 3 years late and you probs wont see this but i found this series again since watching it while you released it and I have to say, the casual plays very well for what youre trying to emulate! Good job!
yet another great episode. i love watching this, since i'd never try to speedrun gta, or any other game, but i do admire the speedrunners, keep these videos coming!
I just found this channel and series and want to say that while I did finish the game, I consider myself a super casual player. And I play it much like the casual would - reading everything and trying to absorb all of the lore. I also wasted a lot of time as Trevor getting escorts, so there's that
Brilliant series and detail. I feel like I’m listening to a speed run version of your commentary because it’s so much info so quickly, but no doubt I’ll be following these with heavy use of the pause button when I take on story mode. Thank you for all the effort you put into your productions, and for caring about the quality of your work enough not to release things until you’re more content with them (re your apology for not putting the kerb/curb boost video out yet)
thanks! yeah i dont make money off these so its extra easy to justify quality>quantity. i do talk fast for sure but sometimes theres just so much to get through!
Love the video, dude. Not the happiest with you doing the casual part, but finding someone who hasn't played the game before would be impossible, and you do a great job of emulating a casual player. Some things you do pretty bad and it seems like you're trying to help the speedrun too much, but then you go and do something else too good out of habit so it definitely balances out. And driving around the whole block before finding the construction area you need to climb up, 100% accurate. Keep it up, man. Love the work.
1. I really like this episode 2. I like how you explain everything and how you made it 3. Its really well made that speedrunner is going as fast as he can 4. Casual is casual becouse hes playing gta V story mode for 1st time Again i cant wait for episode 4
Hey friendly baron I love your GTA V speedrun walkthrough and it's what brought me to your channel. I love your presentation method and cannot wait to see the next video. Keep up the great content :D
more more more. this series is interesting and helpful to the community. i think the casual knowing that hiding under a bridge to not be spotted by the chopper was alittle to much knowledge because when i was playing casual i did not know this.
Gotta say that you do a very good job on the average Player playthrough... It really looks like someone that played GTA's before, but is playing V for the first time. Reminds me of my first playthrough! love the series and I am already desperate for the next episode
Hey man, I know you catch shade for how you play Casual mode, but you're almost mirroring how I played GTAV for the first time, so mad props for that. I've only recently started watching your channel, but this is sick to see all this neat shit I can do when playing through story again. Keep it up, my guy!

Starts watching this series 1 and a half hour ago. Watchs the second ep. Sees there is no more. Gets sad. Watch something else. Goes to homepage to see if there is anything interesting. Sees this. Happiness overload.
now enjoy the wait for episode 4!
I got the message you sent me! Finally! I’m overjoyed! I’ll keep it between the two of us :)
LOL im like extremely sleep deprived and was super worried what this meant for a moment
Actually dead xD
The casual run seems very fair to me you don't really do anything that would make me say that was just time wasting. Plus when you just play it like a normal person would then you'd be doing a whole bunch of random off mission things like exploring areas of the map
yeah exactly, thanks for being logical about it haha
the casual is!
I dont even have gta but this is one of my favourite serious rn
thanks! i watch football and baseball but never play them myself - its kinda the same thing
I don't normally watch you and your videos but wanted to say I'm enjoying this series! Keep up the good work my dude!
thanks i guess?
Shoutsout to all the time you must've spent editing these. These videos are super interesting.
Yeah man I agree, I miss this channel he should come back the controversy wasn’t even that serious
wow he was so lucky to find a hakuchou right away
Another great episode dude. Your narration of each mission is top notch too. Keep it up!
appreciate it!
i know these videos are years old at this point and you (obviously) know what you are doing, but i wanna say i think yer "casual player" play is pretty spot on. it's always going to be better/worse than SOMEONE, but i think you've nailed it. opening the map for a waypoint, following the yellow/purple line, crashing, checking out clothes, doing exactly what the game tells/wants you to do...these are all things the average non-speedrun-player is going to do. ESPECIALLY if it's someone who hasn't played through the game many many times (which i'm not entirely sure is something the average person does). these videos are great and even if i'm just some non speedrunning chump, i'm definitely gonna try some of this stuff out just for fun on my nearly endless replays of this game.
Thanks! I explained this on stream once, but back when i first made these, i would often get comments like "your casual player is too bad!" and "your casual player is too good!", and i think getting both kinda guided me into finding the perfect middle. Can't please everyone, but i think i found the best medium i could of what an average player would do.
15:36 best part of the video
its funny everytime haha
You know, it's funny. I don't even play gta anymore and this is the most anticipated I have been for a series in a very long time.
i'd bet only 10% of the people who watch this even play GTA anymore, its pretty common in this day and age to watch but not play
@@FriendlyBaron true. Though normally I end up playing the game that I watch. I usually only watch people play a game and not play it myself is if it's stuff like this that takes a lot of skill or a game that I don't necessarily want to play but I want to know how good the game is.
I think your interpretation of an average casual player is perfect. I remember back when I played this game for the first time when it was released on the 360, and up to last year when I would just screw around with my friends in GTA Online, mostly just causing chaos by killing players for the fun of it. Some may have even called me a tryhard due to how good I was, and I could understand it. I was never a speedrunner, but I love watching these. It's really interesting to see the different strategies and methods used. I've subscribed and turned notifications on so I won't miss a single episode of this series.
thanks dude, glad you are enjoying it!
This is best GTA content out there right now. I can't wait to see how you handle the heists.
thanks! the heists are honestly kinda like normal missions but just a biiiit more hectic
Honestly, you’ve balanced the casual player really well, everyone’s time for playing GTA causally varies but the first time I played, my play through looked near enough exactly like how your casual plays so I’d say you’ve done a pretty good job
appreciate it!
I can’t get enough of these vids good job dude
thanks man
This is a fantastic series, I'm so glad you made it! Keep up the good work, buddy!
thanks dude!
love these episodes, please keep them coming
you got it :^)
I know i'm 3 years late and you probs wont see this but i found this series again since watching it while you released it and I have to say, the casual plays very well for what youre trying to emulate! Good job!
this series is so fun to watch, im not a speedrunner myself, but i really admire the tactics and skill displayed by speedrunners !
thanks! 99% of people arent speedrunners anyways, its mostly a spectator thing.
You just got a sub because of this series...the way you explain and edit the videos makes it look like a quality content.
haha thanks, if it looks like quality content maybe it IS quality content :^)
yet another great episode. i love watching this, since i'd never try to speedrun gta, or any other game, but i do admire the speedrunners, keep these videos coming!
thanks, more on the way!
I personally think you are doing a great job roughly explaining and anticipating what a casual runner would do most of the time in these missions :)
thanks!
Holy shit this is the best series I've seen in a while, keep up the good work man!
thanks my dude
I just found this channel and series and want to say that while I did finish the game, I consider myself a super casual player.
And I play it much like the casual would - reading everything and trying to absorb all of the lore. I also wasted a lot of time as Trevor getting escorts, so there's that
yeah lol, was the goal to match casual play, besides the random messing about
Brilliant series and detail. I feel like I’m listening to a speed run version of your commentary because it’s so much info so quickly, but no doubt I’ll be following these with heavy use of the pause button when I take on story mode. Thank you for all the effort you put into your productions, and for caring about the quality of your work enough not to release things until you’re more content with them (re your apology for not putting the kerb/curb boost video out yet)
thanks! yeah i dont make money off these so its extra easy to justify quality>quantity. i do talk fast for sure but sometimes theres just so much to get through!
Love the video, dude. Not the happiest with you doing the casual part, but finding someone who hasn't played the game before would be impossible, and you do a great job of emulating a casual player. Some things you do pretty bad and it seems like you're trying to help the speedrun too much, but then you go and do something else too good out of habit so it definitely balances out. And driving around the whole block before finding the construction area you need to climb up, 100% accurate. Keep it up, man. Love the work.
thanks - like i say, no one person will find it perfect, so it just has to be about what the casual is doing, not how good they do it.
1. I really like this episode
2. I like how you explain everything and how you made it
3. Its really well made that speedrunner is going as fast as he can
4. Casual is casual becouse hes playing gta V story mode for 1st time
Again i cant wait for episode 4
thanks a bunch man!
Even though i beated the game 5 times i didn't know alot of this stuff! Amazing work my dude.
thanks my man!
Hey friendly baron I love your GTA V speedrun walkthrough and it's what brought me to your channel. I love your presentation method and cannot wait to see the next video. Keep up the great content :D
thanks dude, just did ep4!
I absolutely love this series. Watching it as soon as you upload.
thanks dude!
Loving this series so far, good job!
thanks man
more more more. this series is interesting and helpful to the community. i think the casual knowing that hiding under a bridge to not be spotted by the chopper was alittle to much knowledge because when i was playing casual i did not know this.
working on them in all of my free time!
also hiding under a bridge, i mean, i have literally watched a guy do that IRL from a police chopper is my excuse for the casual doing it
Gotta say that you do a very good job on the average Player playthrough... It really looks like someone that played GTA's before, but is playing V for the first time. Reminds me of my first playthrough! love the series and I am already desperate for the next episode
Perfect, thanks for the feedback!
I find it so satisfying when the speedrun timer is stopped and the casual is sped and catching up haha.
haha, thats a great way to describe it
Hey man, I know you catch shade for how you play Casual mode, but you're almost mirroring how I played GTAV for the first time, so mad props for that. I've only recently started watching your channel, but this is sick to see all this neat shit I can do when playing through story again. Keep it up, my guy!
thanks a bunch, the overwhelming comments are positive, its just the negative ones stick out more sadly.
never would had known that this would be more entertaining than most gta yt videos
me neither, its going quite well so far
