How much time do "Shortcuts" in GTA V save?

[@jay_344]

the true shortcut when driving in gta is being realistic about what you or your vehicle are capable of. generally, sticking to highways and not doing anything crazy to save time will get you from point A to B faster

[@EenGamer.]

@@jay_344 yes agree, most of the time just getting to a highway is the best for longer travels. But especially for players who want to spice things up shortcuts are a fun alternative that can also sometimes save you some time

[@jay_344]

@@EenGamer. I 100% agree

[@BirisuAndrei]

​​@@EenGamer. Knowing me, Im certainly gonna hit a tree or barrier or something and my character would fly out of the car and die losing 5k trying to save 1 second. And respawn further away from my location before death...

[@Dansiman1]

Similarly, if you spend enough time in one vehicle you can get a feel for the handling to where you can really push that vehicle to its limits. For example I've driven the armored Kuruma so much that I can totally power slide it through certain turns just perfectly, really maintaining a lot of my speed.

[@BirisuAndrei]

@Dansiman1 it depends, some cars ate designed to handle like shit, like the big, unstable 4x4's that can literally fall over on the side in a curve, or even the truck Trevor drives in story mode, which you can upgrade to the max, yet it has a horrible turn radius to the point it's impossible to do some things with it like driving on the wrong side of the road.

I have also slammed into that gas station from that jump, I just take the straight road next to my office.

[@communistpingu5255]

On the alternate route of that one, (10:06) I always cut the trees on the bend that allows me to carry more speed down the hill than if I were to take the small chicane properly

Holy shit a rare ultrawide gamer in a yt video! So glad i made the switch to an ultrawide monitor. Plus it looks good on phone!

[@EenGamer.]

you know whats up

[@phil955]

There's a shortcut I integrated into a custom race of mine that leads from Paleto Bay down to the docks. The "normal" way for players without a hangar at Fort Zancudo would be ot follow the highway, go over the bridge and turn right at the gas station. The shortcut is simply going right through FZ and joining the road far later. However, it's only really a shortcut if you don't have a hangar... otherwise I'd consider it the normal route. XD

[@MikkelRoerbaek]

18:23 is at least a 500 point grind

[@rexivivi]

Came here for the shortcuts, stayed for the aspect ratio

[@cynotsimon]

I've been looking for this for a while now. Great job. I would watch a whole series of these. I've been looking for inspiration to create 'exciting routes' that comprise jumps, cut-throughs and wall rides etc. I'm a big fan of the GFRED races (Broughy) and love some of the lines those racers have found. The exciting routes don't have to be time-savers though, just slick and fun

[@EenGamer.]

@@cynotsimon after the success of this video im already planning on making a part 2. If you have any suggestions please send them here or in the discord :)

[@IdoN_Tlikethis]

additional small tip: you can avoid the cinematic camera when doing stunt jumps by aiming your gun. makes it easier to orient your car in the air

[@monkeyDluffy-vq9oh]

Haha this video is gold! In my experience no such shortcut saved my time as I’ll always find myself slamming full force into a tree and wasting so much time recovering from it😂 I’ll still keep going because that satisfaction from actually getting it right is too perfect

[@EenGamer.]

@@monkeyDluffy-vq9oh yes exactly the high risk and even medium risks ones are rarely worth it, but so much fun

[@supawhiteboi117]

I’ve hit that bridge leaving the casino one time and my car just exploded upon impact 😂

[@Subreon]

i got a really cool one that saves a ton of time and is very rarely known. run south in the ls river on the west bank. when you get to the first big left bend, hug the edge of the water to get the widest turn possible to keep the highest speed possible, and launch yourself up the wall to the right. you'll fly over the train warehouse and between the multi stack interchange, landing cleanly on the main highway heading toward the middle of the city. high risk. but yeah, saves tons of time from normally finding your way out of the ls river if you need to get to the other side of the city.

[@chrisjames8997]

Use the canals for CEO warehouses. If they are in Cypress Flats and the CEO office is Maze Bank West, just drive south to the canal. Quickly traverse the city that way. Also use the canal from Cypress Flats to the Diamond Casino.

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

I've been playing this game since it came out and I've really only came across 1 or 2 of these and rarely lol so I don't use any of these routes normally but I did enjoy the video.

[@betodo9984]

14:08 16:50 Actually if you take the train track, not only is shorter than using the bridge but also don't have to deal with traffic (well, unless you are caught on a train)

[@OlettaLiano]

[@EenGamer.]

@@OlettaLiano I was driving a motorcycle the other day and I had a lot of fun with all the shortcuts and jumps. Definetly wasnt faster with the amount of times I fell of but definetly more fun

[@Dansiman1]

I think every one of the jumps onto or off of the highway will end a police chase pretty quickly

[@ok-ff6pp]

thank you this video was very fun to watch ❤

[@EliThe2_or_EliShoulders]

At 20:05 I always used the dirt mound above the sedan as a shortcut. It's fun and probably a med/high risk.

[@ondra_cz1292]

Learning how to drift around corners saves more time than all of these honestly...

[@EenGamer.]

Drifting? No. Taking proper racing lines? Yes. For the average player probably yes, but for people who already use it shortcuts are nice to implement, for some extra spice in your gameplay aswell.

[@BirisuAndrei]

@EenGamer. What do you mean no? Drifting saves a lot of time in street racing because if you take a corner normally at full speed, you go off the road or hit a car so you need to slow down, but if you drift you can take a sharper turn at a higher speed.

[@EenGamer.]

@BirisuAndrei could you send the title of a youtube video that has the world record for any of the street races, that uses drifting?

[@maryedmonds4350]

[@wonton_wya]

if it helps, you can aim a weapon when you do stunt jumps to skip the cinematic camera

[@Rainquack]

Nice video! Love your analysis, general idea and monitor aspect ratio. I can't say much, cause it's been perfect, and a great watch!

[@EenGamer.]

Yeah its weird I have been getting comments on bitrate for a while. Recently I maxxed the bitrate on the recording side, but apperently that hasnt helped. It could be on the video editors side I guess, I changed my settings like a year ago to avoid crashes. Luckily that helped and I dont crash anymore, but it might have impacted the bitrate, now im kinda scared to change something again as I think it might affect the crashes 🫣

[@Rainquack]

@@EenGamer. Oh yeah, computers really are just cursed sometimes, and GTAV can be tough on encoders sometimes. x3 And I'd def rather have a stable setup than unsolvable crashes that could have no rational reason. :0 (It's also been really interesting to watch whatever KZbin does on their quality options/encoding side over the last 10 years, and it's been definitely wild haha)

[@dovahseod]

Turning left from I-2 eastbound to I-1 northbound at Textile City (big interchange to the southwest of the casino) you can take a shortcut by jumping through the hospital. Normal routes include the GPS route of exit right, turn left, turn right twice, and turn left again to join I-1 and the flyover ramp route of exit right, go straight, take the road on the right, go straight and join I-1. Shortcut route is to ignore the exit, go over the gap on the right into the hospital parking lot exit, and turn left onto I-1 main road directly. Risk is pretty low and it's crossing traffic vs squeezing by cars on a ramp, but you are able to drive at speed for longer especially compared to navigating around the gap in the barrier on the flyover ramp. With little difference in distance I'm not sure if it actually save much time, but I personally like the shortcut better since it has less corners. Turning right from I-1 southbound to I-2 westbound you can take the routes of a) first exit, go straight and take the road on the right, b) first exit, turn right, turn left to cut across and take the ramp joining I-2 westbound across the junction, c) second exit, road on the right or d) second exit, road on the left and go across the junction. I personally take c and if I was too fast for going right at the split then end up with d, but not sure if it actually saves time- I'd say circumnavigating stationary traffic is more annoying than passing vehicles on a ramp.

[@atomicdeathray2004]

There's two gaps on the sidewalls on the overpass over Supply Street which you can take to get to the La Mesa arcade if you have it. What I'm interested in is if there are any shortcuts that lead me out of mirror park and straight down to the main roads.

[@nickpask3715]

Grotti Cheetah Classic.

[@danmilew]

16:16 the shortcut I use is just taking the tracks. It’s very low risk (unless there’s a train) and it saves quite a bit of time.

[@diggy1147]

What would have made your alternate route testing better is if you had a destination beyond the shortcut. No one is going to take those interstate overpasses like that just to reach an arbitrary location.

[@EenGamer.]

@@diggy1147 yeah true some of the overpass ones really are not that great. For most of the shortcuts I had some destination in mind, especially for ones that lead to more important parts of the map like downtown.

[@diggy1147]

@@EenGamer. someone should do a more advanced video of simply using a proper racing line to cut corners through the city while dealing with traffic and compare times.

[@EenGamer.]

@@diggy1147 there is only like 2 long enough cuts I can think of where this would make sense. Train tunnel from Paleto towards sandy or the canal in the city. But even then the proper racing line and perfect traffic isnt gonna be realistic for most players.
