[@daladex]

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.

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks dude, glad you are enjoying it!

[@klonvomhaus]

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.

As a legit casual player (once a month or so), your casual player plays exactly like me :)

[@FriendlyBaron]

hey thats perfect then!

[@conedx]

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.

[@FriendlyBaron]

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.

[@ggmann13]

Another great episode. Hard to stop watching once it gets going. I tend to watch the speed run screen the whole time but do glance over to casual from time to time (especially if it is pointed out for any reason) and at one point i looked over to see the casual jumping around on the roof only to crack his head against the wall on a jump splattering brain matter on the side of it. Made me chuckle. I think one funny idea would be to have the casual every now and then doing some weird or bizarre funny action like blowing away some pedestrian or purposefully knocking coffee/phones out of their hands or bowling them over again and again just by running into them. Shit like that or prat falling into things just to see what it does. Provided it doesn't wreck the time too much. All without actually drawing any attention to these small actions and just seeing if someone catches it cuz i feel like most watch the speed side more often like i do. Hell maybe you've already done things like this and I just haven't noticed haha.

[@Lozzar242]

For the heists I would say a brief explanation of why the option you choose is quicker than the other is fine, e.g. a few lines about "more setup missions, possibility to skip" etc, rather than showing both on the screen. Otherwise there'll be too much difference and pause time and we'll just be watching someone casually play the other heist option. Only showing the speedrun vs casual of the missions you DO choose is better imo. But whatever you end up doing I'll still be watching haha, love the series so far

[@FriendlyBaron]

thats my plan, with maybe an unlisted video of the other heist if i have time

[@bigroosterman12]

I think an adjustment you should make is have the casual take a motorcycle whenever possible. They are more fun to drive and a casual player will most likely crash a few times while using a bike. Until they eventually give up and settle for cars later in the run. Speaking from experience

[@FriendlyBaron]

i'll think about it! they really dont spawn that often in most areas so may never see one actually.

[@implode44]

This is a fantastic series, I'm so glad you made it! Keep up the good work, buddy!

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks dude!

[@ZombieGuts15]

love these episodes, please keep them coming

[@FriendlyBaron]

you got it :^)

[@GiulioMoura]

Well, about the casual playstyle. Imo you're doing fine! My playstyle with campaign games It's basically taking the part of the character. So I usually try to play the role, play like a real person inside the world instead of going crazy with the driving and running. Great series and videos! Congrats for the good work!

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks my dude

[@karlleego2513]

The casual players is totally ok. You are maybe even better since the casual usually crashes multiple times while driving. Love this series

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks haha!

[@alolanstarboy]

9:50 I'm surprised you found these shots the hardest, I remember my second time playing the game I was like "wait can't I just shoot these guys" and I managed to do it pretty easily

[@CRIZZProducions]

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!

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks, more on the way!

[@triis8643]

4:35 lmao the casual tries to play the video before closing them

[@AkrosDradolt]

I don't really watch speed runs of many games mostly because they lack explanation of why something is happening or just very little commentary at all however this is one of my favorite series because it shows how a brand new player would play versus a seasoned speed runner would play. I think the people complaining have played too much before and forget that they now know how to play versus the handheld rockstar way. Keep up the good work :D

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks my dude

[@gotticketsjr2108]

This series is amazing and seriously interesting, I’ve always loved speedrunning and I’ve never seen something that compares it so well with the scripted and casual way of playing.

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks my man!

[@Fwme3]

4:34 I'm surprised baron isn't even bothered 16:52 I'd just do what the casual is doing. When I did what the speedrun did, I only got 282000 and 67000 cut

[@angryfilipino3229]

I can’t imagine the amount of editing and planning that goes into these videos, kudos to you sir!

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks! it is for sure a ton of work, hence the delays between them

[@BeanutButterBoy]

Episode 3! i can't wait for episode 4! This was very interesting, makes me want to play GTA V again lol

[@FriendlyBaron]

im going as fast as i can!

[@lvke7011]

mindblowing tip because jay norris got his MIND BLOWN ah ha ha

[@dreamshooter90]

The casual is like me slowly starting to realize I need to go to the toilet but at the same time I'm too invested in the game.

[@FriendlyBaron]

LOL somehow i know exactly what you mean

[@tinfins2994]

Congratulations Baron for this successful series! Pogey

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks, like holy heck its doing well

[@Dezza2241]

Since my carrier pigeon is on a delivery I'll leave a comment; I'd love to see a video for the other option in each heist with multiple options (assuming it has a route) almost like a bonus episode(s) after this series ends Loving the vids mate, can't wait for more they're super enjoyable. You're improving so much already, it can be difficult reading long segments of text but you're doing a really good job

[@FriendlyBaron]

thanks! i will highly consider making an unlisted video with the other heists.
