Dude, I absolutely love your voice and your style.

[@halfwaytillbliss]

I appreciate the encouragement and thanks for watching

[@Slaythe]

Just picked up the game, and it's a shame nobody talks about it "normally" and focus on irrelevant costumes (both the negative and positive) online. It's really good. Your content has been real fun too, thanks.

[@halfwaytillbliss]

I hope you're enjoying the game! It's a gem 💎 and thank you for watching

[@MortyCoach]

You just helped me get the platinum a few hours faster cause I had to get the Cost of Lost Memories ending so your video could've not popped sooner in my recommended, Thank you.

[@halfwaytillbliss]

Congratulations on the platinum! Happy to help

Great video! Back button for sprint is so underrated, I use it for almost every game I play

[@halfwaytillbliss]

Agreed, I hope we see some form of back buttons on standard next-gen controllers. Thank you for watching!

[@Final-tt5bo]

@@halfwaytillbliss The cynic in me says that won't happen because it's such an easy but gamechanging feature that can be used to entice people to buy the premium controller in the first place. I think that's why they didn't do a simple and cheap add-on attachment like they did for PS4. I bought the Edge 95% for the back buttons. The rest of its functions are just a bonus to me.

Perfect timing again, Bliss. I can watch this while waiting for the electrician to arrive. 😂

[@halfwaytillbliss]

haha I remember during the stream we got this run, you had house guests arriving! Next time, my guess is painters :P

[@croacx]

Great video, appreciate it. I‘m gonna use this as a base for my eventual no damage run

[@halfwaytillbliss]

Thank you for watching and good luck with your challenge! It might require some different strategies for consistency if you're doing it in one segment 👍

[@PeterGamba]

Besides the "speedrun" aspect, this is a great tutorial for any new player because the explanations are so exact. Thanks

[@halfwaytillbliss]

That's really kind of you to say, thank you for watching!

[@obamaorb7426]

This is exactly my kinda content, love you man

[@halfwaytillbliss]

I appreciate you 🙏

[@wjlee6674]

I see you've been playing with the Korean dub. I've been watching your videos all the time. Ever since I played the Stellar Blade demo. ^^.

[@halfwaytillbliss]

감사합니다아아~

[@ugignadl]

Thanks for this! Much appreciated

[@juanmanuelgarcia4605]

Finally got the chance to watch this again.

[@BurekSaSir7]

Thanks this helped with second playthrough for platinum commentary was very nice too makes me wanna speedrun too

[@halfwaytillbliss]

You're very welcome and good luck with the platinum!

[@kitaxo_o]

I don't know if it's faster in speedruning but I'm noticing you are not abusing the aim assist mechanic when firing your gun. Whether to one-shot the enemies' weak spots (1:00:23, 1:02:00) or 3 spiders that are close together (56:38). If you repeatedly aim down sight with your gun, your crosshair effectively moves to the next closest enemy or target.

[@halfwaytillbliss]

Hello and thanks for your comment! I'm happy you pointed that out because I honestly wasn't aware For things like those spiders, since they're bunched up, I think aiming normally is quicker. But for the Maelstrom weak points, your way seems very valuable! I'll have to try it out next time

[@Final-tt5bo]

>this speedrun community is tiny That's because it is only on PS5. Serious speedrunning happens on PC for any modern game. If there's potential for this to be a good speed game then it will take off when the PC version releases.

[@halfwaytillbliss]

Hello, thanks for watching, and yes that's a great point! I'm really looking forward to a PC port bringing in new players along with mods for practice tools 😄

[@Epistolary8]

I would love Tachy too, if I knew anything about her…

[@alm5851]

Bro well played😊

[@TXBrutality]

Great video! Makes me wanna speed run it but my girlfriend hates this game 😅

[@halfwaytillbliss]

Thank you so much for watching! And uh oh you may have to settle for speedrunning vicariously through others

[@anhemtoctai5099]

nice
