From someone who has a lot of interest in video game speed running in general. You've done a massive service to future runners with your commentary. Having a starting point speedrun video for a creators audience to launch off of has traditionally pushed speedrunning forward

[@Izzy_the_moderator]

Joltz will always be my favorite borderlands content creator, he's the reason I know what different grips do, even if I still can't remember what they look like lol

[@TKmeh]

I’m the exact opposite, I picked up what some grips do and what most look like lol. But since I introduced my friend to Joltz we’ve been doing a lot of the cool strats and time skips to make runs easier, we tried to get levels easy while playing the Tina DLC but it didn’t quite work with four Kriegs so instead we made it to flame rock and revived each other until lvl 7 because one of the Krieg buds doesn’t have the Lilith DLC yet.

This should actually be a new category, since a lot of speedruns have a category for mod usage. This makes it quite quicker and much more fun, would love to see this run in one session withis mod

[@ToliG123]

Skill and routing is way more interesting than RNG. Was kinda surprised people even sped ran this franchise a few years back for BL2 haha. This mod would make it much more competitive imo.

[@perooo8526]

Vvv

[@flame_warp]

The problem is, like joltz said, the rng for this run isn't designed to make an optimized run per se, but an interesting one. It's too arbitrary to make sense as a category, and the proper optimized world drop rng would be dull

[@absenteechild8542]

I think the problem arises from the looter shooter elements of the series. In a recent BL2 play through I got a random kerblaster as soon as my unkempt herald started falling off. Should simulating that be allowed? What about a mod that makes every AR drop an on level kerblaster? The line is tough to draw

Disagree modded is pretty much the same as a cheated run.

When I did my first playthrough of this game I thought the game was ok. My second playthrough where i tried to just blow past everything and just do story missions made me realize that half the game is npc monologues.

Yeh legendarys aren’t as exciting In this game as in bl2 :(

[@Raptchur]

Gameplay was fantastic. Best in the series. Story and characters were horrible. Idk what the endgame ended up like but when i quit it was not borderlands. Despised mayhem mode. Not to mention it seemed like they had no idea how to balance. So many changes for a damn year. So many things didn't "work as intended" as GBX so loved to say. I'm a huge BL fan and this game is a stain on the franchise imo. I'm equal parts excited and doubtful for Tiny Tina's Wonderland. "Mayhem" was their buzzword that ruined 3 for me, and now i'm seeing a lot of "Chaotic" for TTW. Def makes me weary.

I'm a 'casual' gamer, in that I'll blunder my way through to the end of a game, and generally, once played, forgotten. I've only just picked up BL3, and after about a week, got myself up to lvl 22. I love stealth games, so this is quite a departure. In my n00bness, I turn to YT to help me out in difficult situations... and I come across something like this. When you've played as much as I have, and realise how fkn difficult it is, my jaw drops at the expertise of guys like this. The sheer amount of knowledge of what is a complicated game, to achieve a run like this is mind boggling. Falling in love with the game, but think I'll be looking at vids like these, rather than trying to emulate them. Taking this in small doses btw... the action combined with the commentary is making my head spin :D

While I get what your saying. That was only because the speed run for that game devolved to where the run was an instant reset if they didn't get that one drop.
