these mod playthroughs are what I live for

[@snofixart]

cant agree more

[@aviczie]

yup

[@OhNotThat]

Just needs to learn how to drive. Simple as.

[@OhNotThat]

Ah yes finally this mission: "Every single mission was playtested to a point where it could be consistently beaten if you're skilled enough, including the ones where people winged on pre-nerfed missions. **The mission is incredibly short and simple if you just take the extra amount of time learning how to drive the car without colliding with anything.** Honestly, I don't see too much to complain due to how short it is. " He passed every single mission Ben, first try, consistently too. It's simply a matter of Skill, what can I say? Just learn to drive better and learn to not collide with things, just don't randomly collide with things. Just learn to drive better...

this is true, but you will die earlier

@@sinhi986 yes, because mixing it with the plastic would be dangerous. Just cook the noodles like normal and put it on a plate

Giggling my butt off at this poor chatter who kinda liked the first mission there and Ben is just laying into him for several minutes

[@Insanity4real]

Ben looks like he's gonna steal a nice bike in that thumbnail

[@ApacheSmash]

Instantly watch these when they come out

[@BLET_55artem55]

Just watch the VODs on his Eben archive channel?

Nothing like watching eben getting too stressed

[@alpashk]

IMO, saying that the mod has no cool ideas is a bit too much (0:20). The boss fight with diaz was something new and cool, the idea with the boat on top of the van was really nice, the races with the choose your car mechanic were interesting. They all were terribly implemented, with lots and lots of BS, but the ideas are definitely interesting. Would honestly love to see a conclusion video for the mod several weeks after you have completed it (which is now, i guess), when you would be less focused on negatives, and maybe even get DinosaurBytes on with his opinion on the mod from a mod developer view

[@BLET_55artem55]

Signed

[@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook]

I don't think he means that all the ideas in the mod suck, since he did say that the mod has some excellent concepts and ideas it just executes insanely poorly, and I quite honestly agree on that.

[@englishben]

I never said it had "no cool ideas" lmao. The question was are the ideas better than Tightened, and in my opinion the answer is no

[@therealchris5894]

watching ben get angry at a mod made to get you angry is hilarious

[@ArcyGoldenSnowTV]

3:45 That Hatian was watching your stream and did that on purpose 😂

[@Obmelg]

Hell yeah, cracking open a cold one and enjoying some quality EBen content, what a great Wednesday

[@BLET_55artem55]

I honestly liked the Recruitment Drive. Like, it's on-par with Tightened in terms of difficulty, fun of the gimmick and ramdomlessness, which is pretty rare (tho this mod's second name is literally "Nightmare mission pack")

[@oyun76344]

In boomshine saigon when phil steering wheel you can release key to prevent it it will go straight with current speed(sorry if i make mistake my english is not good)

[@DeanH92]

I might be meeting Jenna Jameson AKA Candy Suxx at a con this year, so I'm gonna ask her about working on this game. I'll tell her how amazing this mod is aswell...

[@mikevanhill]

I have yet to watch this part of the walkthrough, but I just can't resist to write about thumbnail! Amazing, standing proud (as you should be) 😅

[@arrowsofjudgment]

it is so satisfying to watch whenever you clear a hard mission

[@thedancingguy828]

20:16 the definition of what is the "Hardlined" mod

[@olzhas1one755]

Definitely worth to be put into the next highlights.

[@craftminerCZ]

holy shit sprinkling the dust into the bag is so genius, I always just licked a little bit and then took a bite off the block

[@Szalami]

I just finished up watching the full-streams of the mod on the archives channel and Ben you're a fucking hero for playing though this. It really looked excruciatingly painful many times. You gave me entertainent for hours upon hours. Thank you!

[@Povilaz]

16:42 wait, I just realized, Phil loses his left arm, how the hell is he "playing with the wheel" without his left arm??

[@ElMancoDelSiglo]

The patriot is British, Tommy is driving on the right and Phil is tweaking with his right arm (:

[@khaosarts2089]

"Gigabrain" is a great word.

19:53 can't breath bruhhhhh wtf😂

[@GBeastEX]

... I didn't even know the film studio was a thing you could buy. Huh.

[@Ironiron.]

I like how the only skilled missions are the ones the mod can't put 50 enemies with m4s. I mean he prob could but let's be honest he wouldn't since he can't claim its first try without any luck

[@wilbo_baggins]

Boomshine saigon and dildo dodo. The missions i was so crap at i couldn't even cheat to beat it when i was a kid. Those and demolition man i always had issues with.

[@TheSCPStudio]

Honestly I don’t understand how people can complain that not every mod maker cares enough to make a perfect mod or if they’re someone who just wanted to make some stupid shit for people to get some content out of. Like my dude, you don’t have to play the mod. It’s really as simple as that. And if the creator’s prerogative is to not completely fix it or make it something that is completely balanced then who are you to just expect them to by default? You’re getting money out of streaming their mods lol. Just have fun with it. Some mod makers might not even have enough time to completely dedicate to a mod. Maybe they’ve moved on from coding. Maybe their personal skill ceiling limits their ability TO fix everything. Maybe a family member died. Who knows. Who cares.

[@MannBilimoria]

That ending was soooo good. So damn good. I was heading to bed after watching this vid and hell yea that was a good ending to end the night with! Also thanks for your instant noodle tips chat!

[@RealMadMed]

Sooo might be a wrong explanation about the dodo mission but I guess it can make a bit of sense, Simply tommy have go through the Marks, not parts of the dodo as you got out and tommy was able to make the mark checked on the starfish island and under the bridge so yeah thats why when you tried to go through the red mark and the dodo clearly touching it but tommy didn't so yeaaah

[@dilat]

First time hearing low fuel warning

[@RosyMiranto]

Boomshine Saigon sounds like it's fused with I'll Take Her from IV but the Creator is drunk on Pirated Boomshine But is it possible for you to steal a tank and use it for later missions if you do trigger that six stars however? Also, that Thumbnail feels like it's gonna be a Vacation with the Boys Gone Wrong

[@englishben]

It's always possible to steal a tank. But it would trivialise a lot of missions, so I chose to not use one until absolutely necessary

[@RosyMiranto]

@@englishben ah, but since i had seen you done and dusted with this thing, you certainly did a great job!

[@Slawek361]

*CHEESE!*

[@gundenaf]

well done, mate

[@davidpereira5969]

i saw a glimpse of the discussion in the chat, a The Saboteur playthrough whould be nice, i love that game. Even today it still has some unique mechanics, although idk how will yt/twitch take it seeing as pretty much everywhere there is a nazi symbol and the first cutscene plus some safehouses have full blown tiddies (i think the nudity can be disabled though, not sure)

[@oyun76344]

If you don't care about bullshits some missions is pretty good but rng and unfairness ruins it

you restart way too much, youll crash during boomshine and the health bar wouldnt even visibly move and youll restart.

[@ArcyGoldenSnowTV]

Shut up it ain't that deep, if you think you can do better, upload your version yourself

[@AdrianO-vz6cn]

I love watching this series, Ben, but it always makes me uncomfortable when you act snappy and dunk on people in the chat who say harmless things. I know this mod must be frustrating as hell, however it's your own choice to continue playing it. You could at least leave those portions out of the final edit, it's not the best look for you I think. Just a bit of feedback.

[@dimiusko]

I mean, I totally get your arguments about bad mission design, but let's count how many times throughout this series you've said it was unwinnable, then won nonetheless. A good example of which is at 5:06 during Bomshine Saigon where you started to come up with winnable tactics mid-rant about how it was purely luck-based :)

[@englishben]

I came up with zero winnable tactics during Boomshine Saigon. My strat was exactly the same as my first attempt lmao
