Hitman: Blood Money speedrun - ESA Summer 2022

[@TheKotti]

I absolutely botched the shoutouts to the point where I think I tilted myself a bit. The people mentioned were AlphaBrother, agent146001026 and azeBM, and I forgot to shoutout OrfeasZ who made the Statman tool and absolutely deserves a mention. Also I get that a number of people weren't fond of the commentary by Alex, but please keep in mind that I "recruited" hit on a moment's notice to do commentary before the run as he was the person most in touch with the Hitman community in general out of everyone at the event. If you found him annoying it's at least as much as on me as it is on him. He has addressed the feedback in this comment section already (which in itself I find admirable) so consider keeping this comment section nice and constructive, my experiences with him in person were strictly positive. In any case, I hope you enjoyed the run as a whole, personally I always love doing live runs like this and this one in particular went better than expected.

[@brendan722002]

That’s okay Kotti. You can redeem yourself by doing another Anthology.

Hey Kotti, I thought he was a great cohost/commentator. Some people are just haters.. If they dont like it, they should watch some of your other videos, but I really enjoyed his commentary.

[@superscatboy]

@@Geferulf_TAS Yeah, the pronoun thing is getting cringier by the day, but I assume it's something some woke ESA organiser decided to enforce. It's still a real shame though - nothing says "fun event" like having gender politics shoved in your face.

[@StephaneLevs]

Alex was fine. People like to bitch for no reason.

[@greg4922]

I'll never get tired of watching a blood money speedrun.

[@2juiced]

Same for some reason. Especially from kotti

[@chabbab6698]

I get the feeling that I watch the same run since 5 years but kotti EWA is a greta guy

[@deeznutz8320]

Hitman speedruns are the best, it uses the most creativity and funnest strats

[@verfilgvggekka9868]

Shockingly I just got into them. Shocking since I've liked speedrunning for years and liked Blood Money since maybe 2008 lol

[@captainsponge7825]

bro i've been watching them for like 3 years straight and it was never a boring experience

[@IDK_James]

I always love how Kotti is willing to spend time focusing on interesting routes in speedruns

[@alex73630]

Look mom I'm on TV! Thanks again Kotti for letting me sit by your side on this run! It was an awesome moment that I was able to share with you and everyone watching :D And also thanks for everyone's feedback on the commentary, I know it's not the best you've seen (it was my 2nd time as a commentator, 1st being the Euro Truck Simulator run at the same ESA) but I'll definitely work on improving! Consider this one as *a terrible accident*.

[@RPJCrash]

You ruined the whole speedrun with being that annoying seeing that you didn't have any inspiration and forced your same line over and over again, acting like it's something which makes others laugh and clap, at least you could only refer to it instead of clowning around like "look, what a great joke I have here", jeees

[@armaan1091]

Hey Alex, I thought you did a great job. Some people are just hateful and I hope you dont pay them any attention.

[@RPJCrash]

Don't listen to him. Thats an unreasonable false assumption which is based on frustration and lies. Its simple, if you don't pay attention to any feedback which can give you an other perspective about yourself, you have to handle more and more lies and it can end up in depression. Using passive agressive methods too keep up lies can lead you become a narcissist in long term, so for your own good, don't choose to be a coward in these cases. Armaan has probably more types of anxieties because of this, I hope you don't pay him attention, it's much better to have some introspecion and self-critisism, very unhealthy and immature trying to get away with it. And no, you didn't do a great job in this case, because of clear and evident reasons, that's what everybody reflected on after watching the video. With reasons.

[@GMECRTL]

You did great, man! You really made me laugh at 11:08 when you said "we are not visiting we are just searching for the toilet". I enjoyed your commentary a lot! 😊

[@hlaaluguard4515]

You sounds french

[@johndagadu7777]

The terrible accident guy reminds me of the guy who says "tragic" in everybody hates Chris

[@Dr4g0n247]

What crazy body-pushing, accident-inducing, ragdoll-physic-breaking adventure are we going to witness today?

[@MaisuBirb]

Always a treat to see Kotti at events, kiitos!

[@dreamEnd]

Kotti might not be the fastest HM speedrunner, but he did his run while commentating and explaining stuff on the fly, and that's is super entertaining

[@HitphantoMan47]

I watched it the first time with a big smile on my face. Thanks for the run.

[@andreasottohansen7338]

12:19 man, i remember seeing it that for the first time done by TheAuzzieGamer, glad to see it is viable for speedrun. it brings me so much joy.

[@Radical__]

TheAuzzieGamer also introduced me to the method of shooting the target in the head before the bomb went off in the white house, good times!

[@masodom]

Omg dude me too the second I saw the coin equipped I instantly thought of TheAuzzieGamer and it brought me back to watching his playthrough when I was 12, it was so cool seeing that used in a speedrun lol

[@santinovalfiore]

Same. I miss him... He blew my expectations SKY FUCKING HIGH!!!!!! YEEEAAHH

[@iain2080]

Man your strats have come so far, it's insanely streamlined now great run

[@TheKotti]

Glad you think so!

[@anasrt3606]

New strategies, again great work kotti. I will definitely try complete HBM again with these

[@Bale4Bond]

The amount of times that the french guy mentions "terrible accidents" is nauseating. You could make a drinking game out of it.

[@SD-ff3uy]

That other guy is so insufferable.

[@kapelski104]

Honestly, the whole "what a terrible accident" joke got a little old after like the sixth time.

[@visgraatje859]

not if you have autism

[@kapelski104]

@@visgraatje859 can't argue with that :D

[@TheChattounet]

@@kapelski104 yes he was a bit annoying and made it everytime he killed a target !

Spent the last couple days watching your other esa runs, perfect timing

[@Milan9Zlatangoogle]

Choosing that host was a terrible accident. GREAT JOB KOTTI

Updated the pinned comment regarding the commentary. (Also I recommend checking Alex's comment which I hope is high up in the video's comments).

[@nou-kc1ws]

I love watching Kotti again and again and again😍

[@TheChattounet]

good to see this, hope there will be new things/strat ! otherwise it's cool to see

[@TheKotti]

We shall see

[@MilkerMurphy]

Nice run, wish the guy next to you shut up more.

[@mendietv]

i miss this one live. thanks for posting

[@Parialated]

You are a legend too mendie! You and CJ, wish both of you would do one of these events too

[@badacid8685]

Yo... Kotti is back

[@skunkk414]

Nice run Kotti! Good to have you back 😊

[@h1hellobye]

i swear if he says terrible accident one more time im slapping somebody

[@Developer888]

I straight up had to mute my TV whenever I heard a Tah---, I was like NOPE!!!

[@DarthDimmadome]

I wish the Hitman community didn’t abandon this game. CJ fell in love with Elden Ring and hasn’t been seen since and all the other runners either stream other games or the new hitman trilogy. Sad face emoji

[@CrookedSkew]

Very enjoyable, thank you kindly.

[@Threeballer97]

Thanks for showing why Blood Money is the greatest.

[@HitphantoMan47]

To be honest, most of people prefer BM just because it is the easiest classic game in the series in terms of AI manipulation, meanwhile they don't know anything about the other games (HC or H2SA), which shame. And if you wanted best recommendation game for chilling, sure BM is the best choice for that.

[@TheKotti]

I think HC is the best one in the series objectively in many ways, but BM is still my favorite for its leniency and goofiness potential.

[@HitphantoMan47]

@@TheKotti Yes, but also not to mention that you can't trespass while wearing your suit in HC/H2SA, which makes them not too much fun unlike BM, where trespassing is the best mechanic ever made for BM, that these games lack it, which opens so many potentials/possibilities for methods of killing. So that counts in favor of BM worthily.

[@danielherring6739]

Seeing the strats to get the first target in the first level, reminded me of using the same strats back when the game came out, shout out to old speedrunners making paths

[@danielherring6739]

All of these strats and paths are hardwired into my brain still haha

[@leviyukawa]

nice to see you post kotti

[@MM-co3gl]

Found this run super fun and entertaining! Always enjoy you playing this game! Also, didn't think Alex was annoying at all, just a bit awkward at times, but no big deal really. Big up kotti! :)

[@patriotadaliberdade8820]

Fuck yes! Just rewatched the anthology run a few days ago. Love the games and the way you are running them.

[@paper_cut9457]

Great run and commentary as usual! enjoyed both live and here

[@TheKotti]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bounderby99]

Congrats on the excellent run, Kotti! I never get tired of seeing you run BM. It was sad that the new Till Death strat had to be cut, but that Amendment strat was absolutely insane and more than made up for it! Couldn’t believe that one when I saw it!

[@TheKotti]

It's a shame the TDDUP strat was not consistent enough. Fun, but better off as an individual level strat.

[@fxexile]

Incredible run Kotti. keep up with the great content. ❤️

[@snowfromthewarriors7379]

The legend says that Kotti was the real commentator

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention in the chat that there is also oob area in MOC, behind the blues bar specifically iirc, where i killed Mason into it, and her body got disappear through the void, just like in CD. I might do a video about that.

There is also one near the piano. There are many probably.

[@Drevorub]

11:28 wow

[@JesusOnWheelz]

Good run. I get the 'joke' but I think you should explain what happened when you don't get the SA rating instead of just pretending you got it. It's more interesting to understand for the viewer. Thank you.

[@TheKotti]

I'm with you, but in case if AXXV even I didn't notice it until it was too late and AHOC was a bit of a disaster to begin with so explaining the details would've been a bit much.

Love you kotti, you are the best. Hopefully someday I can follow with a speedrun of my own. Keep owning bro.

I ain't the kinda guy that says ' the games in my time were better ' but I feel like they don't create games like this hitman no more, apart from rockstar games that have RDR and GTA. This old games that were simple yet funny to spend a lot of time with.

The commentary isn't quite as good as the one at SGU from '18, but it's still fine. The complains about Alex sticking with the joke are kinda overblown - you don't really notice it unless you listen for it and even then it's not really annoying or anything.
