How Fast Can You Speedrun Borderlands With A Fresh Character?

[@Joltzdude139]

I hope you enjoy this TAS of BL1! A lot of work went into this insane run.

You can speedrun the new movie in 0:01 seconds by walking out of the cinema.

[@PrederNationteam74]

That’s great

yeah our theatre only had it for the 2 week minimum it was wild

Joltz, glad to see you’re back in action, hope your hands return to 100% out as close as possible so we can continue to see videos of this caliber for many more years to come. Love the videos, love the content, I’ve learned so much from your videos. You’re doing an amazing job keep it up!

I've always been the type to explore, do every quest, and listen to the story. The speed running concept never crossed my mind until they started showing up in my recommendations pretty recently. Really interesting seeing how differently a game can be played.

[@maxvandervelden7957]

I can't even imagine how this run would look like with a true TAS, but if this is as close as we can get then I'm satisfied. Really cool run Joltz.

[@tristanm8838]

Would probly shave about 5 minutes off the time

[@Lyk0ss]

@@tristanm8838 I mean, depends on the type of glitches that can only be pulled off on tas, as you can always perform frame perfect inputs, there may be some sort of moment glitch like in some platformer/2d games, holding right then left at the same time, would make you shoot off in a direction lightning fast, so a perfect/low-glitch tas run, may only save ~5 minutes, the game could possibly be even glitched to like 30 minutes if there are some glitches like that

[@Dragonsnake40]

1 hour and 3 minutes of entertainment. Not only do you commit +10 hours on a 1 hour video but you fill every minute of that hour with action, fun facts, tips and more. You honestly have a gift with media.

[@Black_noir_mw3]

This run is absolutely stunning, can't stress enough just how amazing each aspect of it is

[@minorsmile0942]

This is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen anyone do in a video game. You're a legend in the making brother.

[@jeo726]

I love TAS they show a whole other side to games I feel like. Thank you joltz for the work on this one!

[@randallporter1404]

Agreed, even if I couldn't do it myself.

[@TheHippyhopp]

This isnt really a TAS though

[@jako3015]

@@TheHippyhopp It is. Every speedrun that is somehow affected by other programms (Be it slowing down the game, doing perfect inputs or RNG manipulation) is counted as a TAS run, it doesnt have to be played by a computer.

[@jeo726]

@@TheHippyhopp tell that to joltz who calls it one on his pinned comment, plus he lowered the game speed to get perfect inputs to beat the game as fast as possible. Sounds like a tas to me.

[@marcosperezomg]

​​@@TheHippyhopp TAS stands for Tool-Assisted Speedrun. While the acronym is commonly used for impressively crafted speedruns where a program is used to play back a series of perfect inputs prepared ahead of time, doing something as simple as speedrunning through the game normally with external programs that slow the game down is enough to make it a TAS as well. After all, you are using a TOOL to ASSIST your SPEEDRUN Only thing that could make it not a TAS is the fact that the run is segmented, but that's just semantics at that point cause then it's just a Segmented TAS.

[@thirsty7281]

"Joltz is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will..." This video is awesome, we certainly appreciate the time and effort you put into this! (And so glad you are back!)

[@seans1007]

Youre insane I could never imagine spending so much time on a speedrun like this, especially in slow motion. Props to you :)

[@Zugra913]

You are the reason I got back into BL1, 2, and 3. Your love for the games makes me want to continue playing them all over again because of all the things you can do in it. Thank you for taking the time to even make this playthrough, even if it was just for fun, I loved it!

I started watching this just to see what it was. Then I thought I'd just watch through the first boss... Wound up happily watching to the end and was transfixed. Nostalgic to watch you surgically dismantle this game that I have memories of spastically rampaging around when it first came out. Thanks for all the effort!

[@Auromious]

The amount of effort and planning that Joltz puts into some of these challenge runs is honestly jaw droppingly impressive

Very impressive joltz, speedrunning has been a common thing for your channel every time a 100k subs has hit and for it to be a bl1 sppedrun and not for that reason is incredible. I could tell a lot of time and effort was put in by just the gameplay. Well done, "You still working on that mission" Joltz.

[@64-rd]

It's so mind-boggling to see you go around the levels so quickly, especially when I remember how much time i spent on them while playing BL1 for the first time ;-; Great video, really enjoyed it!

[@t0aster_b4th]

I never spent a lot of time playing BL1, but this is cool as hell, especially with full commentary on how it was done and explanations of everything. I say very solid work lad, thanks for everything you put into the video.

[@BroBurg445]

As someone who loves Borderlands and doesn't like to watch game streaming or let's plays very often, this was the most watchable long-from game footage I've ever watched.

I usually like to watch you vids while doing other things like working, so I've often skipped a couple of the speed runs because after like 30 mins it's silence (Obviously, it's hard to talk for 3 hours when the point of the video was just showing off how fast you can go) so congrats on being able to talk through this whole one!

[@hueylewisgaming9865]

We need a montage of all the failed jumps at 42:08 lol. I can't even imagine how many takes that took

[@bread1958]

I first played Borderlands at 2. The aesthetic and feel of this seems so different from 2 and especially 3. I'll have to play it.

[@AgentBacalhau]

Yeah BL1 and 2 look and feel very different, with even a lot of mechanics changing between installments (revolvers change completely and get basically limited to Jakobs, weapon brand gimmicks change and get intensified a lot with 2, the tone shifts quite a bit, lots of weapon types are removed (masher revolvers, anarchist SMGs) and added (almost every weapon that banks hard on the brand gimmick). It leads to a fresh experience hopping from one to the other. It feels like 2 was what solidified what the series is, as most of what comes after pulls more off of it than off of 1, but I couldn't call either better or worse.

[@TreadingtheBorderlands]

It’s a certified classic

[@BottomBunkArt]

@@AgentBacalhau it probably has a lot to do with Borderlands originally being developed as a realistic looking game that looked more like Metro or CoD, but then getting changed to the cell shaded style we all know very late into development. Borderlands 2 would have been developed with the cell shaded style so they could spend more time refining designs fitting the style. And then Borderlands 3 just went overboard taking it all to the extreme.

[@Rengereu]
