Returnal - Any% NG+ Glitchless Speedrun in

[@noecarrier5035]

Wonderful, I love it. Already a very clear understanding of the game mechanics. High velocity neon insanity. 10/10 subbed

[@jasim9870]

4 hours playing and I'm still with first boss...

[@AAAGameVids]

lol. i still havent defeated first boss either.

[@imSLO-]

@@AAAGameVids you guys can dash through the beams

[@RentonReturns]

3 hours of playing and I’m still on the first boss 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@timholloway8821]

25 hours and 54 deaths on the last boss. Every boss fight my heart rate goes too 150. Stressful game but so fun

[@AAAGameVids]

@@timholloway8821 its already bad enough that being a roguelite game that there are no regular save points, but now my game has started crashing almost every day. this is why i havent played it in 3 days. its a shame because i love the core combat and gameplay, but i feel that some of the design choices, such as being a roguelite game with no regular save points were bad decisions. i can only imagine how great this game would have been as a regular action/adventure third person shooter, with a regular world and regular savepoints instead of the procedurally generated world that it has.

[@Yoni123]

1:47 what how does that work? I saw that but it did nothing. Where are the bosses? I just spent 5 hours on the first biome and only got twice to the boss lol

[@UprisenGaming]

How does what work exactly? This is New Game Plus, all bosses except the final one are optional after beating them once 😋

[@michaelkissoon8097]

This man deserves more subs

[@woolgum]

There’s usually a chest pretty close on the left before entering the boss door room. I got the Pylon driver the last time. I think it will make the run much faster since it kills the boss so easily, just melts it.

[@Majeedz93]

When I started looking for collectibles I started using the handgun more than any other weapon and understood how underrated and strong it is. I used to laugh when I find it before every boss but damn its good

[@Majeedz93]

My 2nd weapon of choice is Hollowseeker and the pylon one

[@UprisenGaming]

I also used to think the pistol sucks! And to be fair on a low level without any traits it does kinda suck but once you unlock some sick traits like Homing Missile, Serrated Projectiles or Shrapnel and get lucky enough to get one that has them equipped it absolutely shreds - especially since the fully automatic fire rate at high levels is almost as fast as a trigger finger so you can just hold down R2 and still melt! 🥰

[@andzzle]

yo ggs, i was gonna make a vid on this but nevermind ig you are better LOL nice vid

[@mikejenkins4924]

Those squids in biome 6 are the fucking worse bullsit since Dark Souls 2 ice hedgehogs.

[@UprisenGaming]

The ones that shoot the red homing things? Absolutely agree, I hate them so much! 😂

[@fy4b230]

Nice job dude. I wonder what the record is for a 100% speed run. What I really want to see is someone no hit this...I guess it could be possible, but Ophion is really hard to no hit. I’ve no hit Phrike, Axion and Hyperion. But Nemesis and Ophion have some mechanics that make it real tough to no hit. I guess it would really come down to RNG on guns. Once you get Hollowseeker with Portal there’s plenty of ways to play defense while melting enemies you have to fight going through the biomes. Anyway, GG bud.

[@UprisenGaming]

100% speedruns of this game will probably never happen, unless collectibles wouldn't be included in the 100% tbh 😋 A No Hit Run would be amazing, I personally did some No Hit Runs of Bloodborne (Any%, No HUD, All Bosses) and Mortal Shell (6 different ones incl. All Bosses) but no hitting this game is close to impossible - unless you do a segmented run but even then it would probably take a billion attempts just to get all the segments no hit 🤔 I managed to no hit Phrike (video on my channel) and Ophion (got a great pistol with which I killed him before he could do the crazy attack in phase 3, you probably know which one lmao sadly I was so caught in the speedrun that I didn't notice early enough to record it) but never the other bosses, then again I just recently starting fighting the other bosses who aren't Ophion 😅 Wish they would allow us to copy saves to USB as on PS4 so we could set up different saves with different unlocks, currently my main account has all the weapons unlocked which leads to an RNG clusterfuck so I already made a new account (seen in the video for example) that only has the Pistol and Spitmaw with all the good traits and none of the bad ones unlocked for best possible RNG but yeah, I would like to experiment with other weapons and their traits 👀

[@UssyMustyYS]

Here we go

[@VanpyroGaming0]

Why not just go straight to Abyssal Scar from Echoing Ruins?

[@UprisenGaming]

Broooo I just saw it, that skip is insane! I didn't know about it 😅

@@UprisenGaming Have you watched my run by chance?

[@UprisenGaming]

@@VanpyroGaming0 yes and it's currently WR, GG! Just didn't have the chance to verify it on SRC yet because I'm at work :)

@@UprisenGaming No worries. Good luck on your next runs.

[@UprisenGaming]

@@VanpyroGaming0 thanks and same, will definitely go for sub 9 now 🙏

[@cleanerbotx]

Good job. But why didn’t you go straight for the abyss? Also open 1 chest you run past. If you get a hollowseeker or nadelauncher you kill the boss in seconds.

[@UprisenGaming]

I didn't know you could back then, by now I have a time of 5:56.00 :D

[@cleanerbotx]

@@UprisenGaming haha thats what I thought!!! That's awesome! I got sub 9 run when I wanted to get the secret ending. I was too tired to run it all again. Just ran Haha! 5 minutes is really impressive :) good job.

[@UprisenGaming]

Thanks, if you had fun and are interested in speedrunning the game (there's also categories for All Biomes NG+, All Bosses NG+ and New Game Any% if you'd enjoy that more), feel free to check out speedrun.com/Returnal or join the Discord at discord.gg/Yma7XTSZTh :)

[@jmguillemette]

how the heck is his weapon proficiency 15 right at the start and then each proficiency boost added 5 instead of scaling to the level.

[@UprisenGaming]

It's proficiency 0 at the beginning, after skipping act 1 it automatically goes up to 15 and the final proficiency boost always increases your proficiency to 24 :)

[@CloudGamingTheOriginal]

Definitely got a new sub fam! You did work! So basically you can beat the whole game with the starting gun and no upgrades?

[@michaelg5793]

Yep, no need to kill enemies unless it's a lockdown. That only happens in bonus/gold doors AFAIK

[@CloudGamingTheOriginal]

@@michaelg5793 i might have to try that. I usually clear most of the 1st area then skip to the 3rd, etc.

[@nickel981]

Weapon proficiency on your gun is all that matters

[@UprisenGaming]

You definitely don't wanna fight them with the starting gun, you need to pick one up - good thing the game has a fixed pistol spawn right before the final boss and fixed proficiency spawns at the beginning of every biome! That way we always reach him at prof 24 and get that pistol :)

[@thamaddhatta]

Don't you think you could save a little time by picking up a better weapon for the final boss? I feel like you would shred the boss much faster than the time it takes to open 1 chest.

[@UprisenGaming]

I planned on doing that but didn't get a chest closeby in this run, I did however get a carbine in another run today - just you wait for tomorrow's upload :D

[@thamaddhatta]

@@UprisenGaming keep it up bro!

[@jeremykopatz4760]

Any here I am...about to quit cuz I keep getting stomped in the 3rd biome. I am usually pretty good at rouge likes as well, nothing special but I have been able to complete the main story within most that have a story to complete. I have played most of all the good ones, but for some reason this one just kicks my butt time and time again. I will give it another shot!

[@UprisenGaming]

Keep trying, it's worth it :)

WHY DID HE GO TO THE 5TH BIOME? WHY NOT SKIP STRAIGHT TO BIOME 6 GOING THE OTHER SIDE IN BIOME 4?

[@UprisenGaming]

Because this run was from 2-3 days after the game came out, barely anyone knew lmao

[@IAMTHEONEGAMING]

I just wanted to know how did you learn how to speed run this game it just can out P.S. NICE RUN

[@UprisenGaming]

After I finished it I just tried doing it again but faster and kept doing that ever since :D

Too bad didn't do the biome 2 skip. Go straight from biome 1 to biome 3.

[@UprisenGaming]

Don't need to if I go straight from biome 1 to biome 4 using Act 1 Skip 😅 I know about its existence tho and it's pretty cool that you can skip biome 2 if you want to! Edit: if you're talking about Biome 5 Skip, I totally didn't know about that one until today! 😅

[@kennysantiago71]

Why bother playing the game if you're gonna run thru almost every living enemy? Game is outstanding! I'm on the 3rd Biome. Hope there is a sequel to this masterpiece!

[@UprisenGaming]

You realize people don't speedrun games on their first playthrough, right? 😅 We speedrun games because we did everything possible and there is nothing left for us to do in the game except for beating it faster and faster, and since we love the games so much that we don't wanna stop playing them that's what we do 🥰 I agree tho, the game is amazing and I also hope we will get a sequel! 😍

@@UprisenGaming Yes, I do realize that and I have seen where gamers want to get a game over and done with too.

[@lboogie8165]

Cant play these games longtgat want you dying alot. Ive beat souls , ive beat Bloodborne. But i hate these games when I dont have time because handling business. When i get a vacation or some time whether the game is bad, ok, or great im beating it. But when my schedule is full I stay away from losing all my money. Ill have credit $49-50 & i dont lose spending $20 cash because if Im not sold like this game get back my credit and sit until a game like resident village comes out. Point is most games get real saucy 60% in or so & its on. Sekiro games I loved & this is cool but time just robs me of enjoying games like these the dying isnt an issue but my moma no longer pays the mortage I do. So if you got all day drop your cash but if you dont . Any souls like games you will be pissed!

[@UprisenGaming]

It's definitely not a game for everyone :D
