I often wander what it would be like to go back in time to 2002 and show those guys who wrote game magazines like playstation UK and PSM back in the day these tricks and I think you would blow their minds. VC in under 3 hours would have been unthinkable.

[@grooves9291]

1 hour in, I feel like having this explained to me is like twisting my brain into a pretzel

[@GiGaSzS]

It is amazing to see how these older games that are awesome by itself offer another level of gameplay with these exploits.

[@kawii9793]

It's an amazing run and great commentary. I had a lot of fun watching and trying to understand how many layers deep this game is getting broken :D

[@SwissMarksman]

Allways a joy to watch Ben playing!

[@LankeyCanadian]

Thx for the upload ben it always brings me back to my first GTA kz-frew run cool tricks with explanation is always appreciated.

[@garvy_]

Ben I've been binge watching your content lately, glad to see your back :)

Great run man. Always love a VC run, especially all missions!

[@tompinks_]

Great run, this was fun to watch. Well done Ben 👏

[@legitgrinder4275]

This makes me want to speedrun. Great video

[@TheAngelicDevil007]

This was such a fun run to watch, I saw it in one go straight, without going for a juice break lol. I enjoyed your commentary too alo h with MH's. But man after the 1hour 20mins marker, it was tough to follow! All I understood is x is difficult for some y reason :D Would be interested to see if you did proper explainer videos of all these glitches abused, in another video, like a primer for speedrun viewing. You know what I mean? Anyway, thanks so much Ben, this was a GG

[@englishben]

Thanks! I know the commentary is a bit hard to follow, as it's years of work condensed into just a few hours. I do have a beginner's tutorial on all missions so maybe that would help? Might be worth a watch if you're interested - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5KlqXqehql_b6c

Oh hell yeah! english ben is back!!

You can never have too many bens in a room

[@___________________1]

Good job ! :)

[@DinosaurBytes]

I wonder why so many lamp posts and traffic lights started tipping over whenever Ben got near, towards the end of the run?

[@englishben]

Pretty sure I mention it during the run, but basically it's a bi-product of duping bombs away inside the cutscene

[@DinosaurBytes]

@@englishben Oh, my bad for not paying enough attention then, apologies. Interesting stuff though, cheers for the info! Is there a known technical reason behind it?

[@englishben]

@@DinosaurBytes I forget the exact technical reasons, but it's just memory corruption. It's also why streetlights become like a disco with random colours sometimes, just the game being corrupted in silly ways

[@dontbankeenen]

Ben will u ever come back to this game a try to get a faster time?

[@englishben]

Hopefully yes :)

[@pavlo1207]

Hell yeah! Beautiful

[@unknownhero2744]

anyone please tell me how he stopped the demolition mission

[@englishben]

It is explained in detail in this very video :)

[@unknownhero2744]

​@@englishben you speak so fast so that i cant hear anything 😓

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

Man, i love watching speedruns. Especially when the atmosphere around it is funny and when it's about some popular or popular forgotten games. Like, i would not watch this one, if it were about GTA VC Stories because, i never played it as a kid. Sure, i played it these days on emulator, but considering the bad performance and the fact that i didn't beat it do to the performance, i have no interest in that game. So yeah, cool speedrun. Also, is japanese version of GTA VC any different from original or later PC release? Like, is there any kind of changes besides translation or bugs??

[@englishben]

JP is a censored version, where all of the Haitian references are removed, can't explode heads etc

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

@@englishben Understood.

Wish i could insta-skip my exams

Dude, same

[@lordjackson121]

I dont understand, i think i missed it. Did you did the Cap the collector and the keep your friends close?

[@mannyomega713]

not sure if you explained it maybe i missed it but why are the street lights and poles randomly falling over

[@englishben]

When you dupe certain missions inside a cutscene (bombs away in this case) it causes memory corruption, in this case making the street lights fall over as soon as they spawn

[@mannyomega713]

@@englishben ok cool awesome run by the way

[@skyon619]

People reunite each other like it was some special event and donante up to a hundred dollars just for seeing somone speedrun a game. Chances are that video games will be admited to the olympics or something in the years to come.

[@aldabertneutarias264]

dude, thats so sugoi!

Kz threw in the towel I wonder why rip he was a cool dude still awesome run ben great commentary

[@Nintendaddy]

Lovefist need to be on stage and that's the reason for the timer

[@RobbieBeswick]

Why do random lampposts keep falling 😂😂

[@englishben]

One of the side effects of duping bombs away inside of the cutscene :)

[@sobertillnoon]

All the witnesses in the pizza shop were killed in the car explosion

[@theblackcircle6648]

You look like the twitch streamer destiny hahaha . Good stream and good run!

[@vitborm]

Why lampposts began to fall near the end of the run?

[@englishben]

It's a weird side effect of duping missions (bombs away) inside cutscenes that leads to memory corruption. It also causes the streetlights to turn random disco colours as well

[@CuriousGamer022]

Who else thinks the original version looks and sounds better than the definitive edition?

[@Breaker242]

great run. Is it possible to turn down the in-game voice/dialog volume? I enjoyed the commentary but with all the phone calls and glitched cutscenes going on at the same time with the commentary it was a bit jarring at certain points where it felt like there were 4 voices talking over each other. Just a suggestion for the future if there is a setting for that (i dont remember) nevertheless I watched the entire run and enjoyed it :)

[@englishben]

In a lot of places I need audio queues etc so the in-game audio is important. Plus not to mention that this was done at an event, so none of the tech setup is mine :)

See

[@timpeachey9394]

Cheating on the PC version again. Do this on the PS2 you cheaters.

[@mannyomega713]

im sure some people run it on ps2

[@leoblanco4644]

Why cheating?

[@JauntyWhale]

It's a speedrun you melt. There are categories for speedruns, this one clearly allows cheats.

[@TheRealBossMoss]

@@leoblanco4644 there is a specific exploit that is done with the replay feature which is PC exclusive and allows you to duplicate weapons and trigger different game states.

[@leoblanco4644]

@@TheRealBossMoss Yes, but I think that would be considered a glitch/bug and not a cheat. Greetings 👋🤗
