Why did Pavels voice from GTA 5 Online go through my head when I read this comment?

[@DrBox]

Can't wait for "can you beat GTA VC without using WASD" and it involves moving with Tommy's meele kick and a bunch of replay magic

this is the second time in two days that I was looking forward to watching a new video, and also the second time my trust was utterly shattered. I will never recover from this.

[@dievas2259]

fire vid ben, vice city was like my top 3 childhood games and its really fun to watch speedrun breakdowns with all the different mechanics and especially your challenge videos where you use those mechanics or glitches

Love the concept of bopping Lance's heli to progress his AI like it's a Half-Life 2 speedrun.

[@Milty2001]

Vice City is my most favorite game of all time, after all those years and it still has fresh content to offer. Don't stop making videos!

[@goldbullet50]

Gotta love the mission Rub Out, and how Lance just hops on your motorcycle inside the mansion with zero hesitation.

[@GhostLyricist]

I got through half a play through of trying this a couple of years ago, but my hard drive got corrupted. I was going for no deaths, no weapons, no fists playthrough. It is possible to beat "All hands on deck" without dying and with no fists. If you hide on the yacht on the ground level and rotate around, your henchmen can do the killing without dying. There's a point in the middle of mission where another boat comes by the yacht where you can jump on and steal it. What I did was I used the aggro of the hunter heli and went behind the enemy boats, forcing the enemies to take all the shots, possibly the enemies were shooting me and I was ducking so their shots actually get absorbed by their own boat too until they blow up I can't remember.

[@stephen3293]

Just ordered some Chinese food and was looking for a good video to watch and this immediately showed up! Wasn't disappointed at all. Great content as always, Ben

Some glitches in the video are only possible on that version :)

[@carl_busta_johnson]

In GTA Vice City you can complete all missions without weapons and glitches except for Naval Engagement (one shot) and Messing with the Man (I only managed to do it with a chainsaw).

[@RuslanKvitnevyi]

24:40 yes, you do, it's hard, but possible to run the tank to the garage without a single collision. I did it yesterday on definitive edition

4:10 I often get a gun, rob the nearby accessory store to get 4 stars, then let the cops destroy the vans

[@shurdi3]

Rewatching this, and seeing all the OM0 deaths I was suddenly reminded of a conversation in Planescape: Torment, where you can win an argument by killing yourself. Tommy seems to have taken that to heart, playing P:T while in the pen.

[@tamilgamingcommunity6699]

You and xem ( r&c speedrunner) are my favorite ytbers/ streamers. Can‘t believe how underrated you both are tho. Hopefully that changes very soon.

[@ujjwaljain5634]

at 14:30, you have 149 bullets for your tec-9. you must have shot one bullet somewhere in the run because you picked 150 bullets in Guardian angels.

[@blukat9903]

4:00 interestingly in this mission if you manage to get into the site by jumping off from Avery construction site without triggering the door to open they will behavior extremely weird and their gravity will be turned off you could lighting push them into the wall they will take a lot of damage over short period of time or you could get in the car but when you start moving there is chance they will just fly up into space lol

@@englishben yeeeeah…. suuuure….

[@BlaBla-jz2lx]

Maybe the line of code in the mission with Rico about the stopping the deal is connected with the "anti-cheat" securness - if you use Big bang you can not pass the mission?

I tried to do melee only GTA SA playthrough (so Chainsaw BIS), I got to 'A Home In The Hills' mission but couldn't pass that mission. Maybe with the speedrun tactic glitch fast walk thing it's possible (which I don't know how to do). Are you going to do it maybe?

Is it really not possible to beat the shooting range mission without shooting, that was the one that came up in my mind as not doable, isn't there a glitch?

[@TheCooterpuppet]

[@ASHFAR578]

God luck you madman. Vice city was hard for me with weapons

[@midwestemofiend]

ur content has come a long way

[@freddyz3359]

This might be a stupid question because I haven't watched all the video yet but I am confused. Why is it called 'no guns' and not 'no weapons' if you aren't going to use melee weapons?

[@englishben]

No Guns seemed like the more "marketable" term. The original series was called "Can you beat every Grand Theft Auto Vice City mission with just your fists? Episode 1" etc It was way too long, YT loves short and snappy titles Also, melee weapons are not worth noting at all. They're the same as fists, but do more damage. The "no guns" part is the actually challenging bit :)

[@woodoo_ray]

THIS IS the content im looking for,u earned my like and sub :V

[@blukat9903]

43:36 would it fail even if you cancelled entertaining the helicopter? I'm sure the heli will automatically explode when the driver gets out of his seat so entertaining the helicopter is a bad idea to begin with

[@DobiY8]

Very impressive!

[@d4rz0t667]

But Ben why not use knuckle duster since it's replace tommy's fist ? or use melee weapons since technically speaking those count as weapons and NOT a Gun

[@tcrobot]

Game idea suggestion: a megaman game of your choosing without using his main gun (mega buster).

[@ApacheSmash]

If it's without guns then what are them on your arms lad??

[@אברםהכושי420]

Can you do a video about if you can beat gta vc without killing anyone

[@ViApp0]

VC is probably the easiest 3D game for pacifist. All main missions, some extra property chains and some other missions can be completed glitchless without any kills in the stats. The only exception is Phnom Penh '86 (as you'll have to shoot the 3 last guys on the roof for them to drop the briefcase). Also Guardian Angels is an RNG and reset fest but it's also doable (requires a barricade for Diaz and maybe some "non-lethal" shots so that Diaz and Lance can kill the guys faster).

[@patrickmccutcheon8860]

Man.. I dunno. Some of these missions were damn near impossible even with the guns. This is gonna be interesting.

[@painkiller5565]

you could actually use a vehicle to kill people in rampages it counts in every single rampage
