Raid is an experiment. The creators wondered if they could make a profitable game by putting zero effort into gameplay, 20% into loot boxes and grinding, and everything left into marketing. I don't know of any mobile game more hyped than Raid, but that's all it is. Commercials, TH-cam spots, banner ads, creator shoutouts. I gave it a solid hour of my life, and that was enough to realize that I'd seen everything the game has to offer, the only thing I get if I keep playing is the numbers will be a bit bigger.
@@CLove511 You've recapped the chinese commercial strategy pretty well. Tencent and NetEase do that all the time, especially when opening to the western markets where they basically spends a gazillion of cash into advertising it. And mobile gaming as a whole is simply atrocious. The lead titles (Candy Crush, Subway Surfers etc) that can survive time have a million copycats out there. The "hypercasual" is also the worst business model ever - 1 ad every 30s with the worst gameplay. It's simply extortion of your attention. They don't care about quality, just quantity, and use metrics and all that to gauge before releasing a game and make sure they make millions out of ad revenue. Just don't download those games. I'd rather pay indie devs that actually make games worth your time but I'm not a mobile player. I barely use my smartphone and gaming definitely is not something I do nor recommend.
@@CuT7yFlaM It's sad, I remember back just before Clash of Clans, mobile games were interesting. Now, I scroll endless clones of games that weren't that great to begin with, maybe find one I think would be worth trying, and delete it after 20 minutes. The main thing that really pisses me off about the hypercasuals is they actually have some great ideas. "Wouldn't it be cool if ____? Oh look, there's a game built around that mechanic!" and then hit you with ads every 10 seconds, while the gameplay itself is designed to make you win or lose frequently so you can watch more ads. The trick is to play with wifi and mobile data turned off, no ads :)
@@CLove511 Yep, a good trick, but nonetheless, the game is rapidly empty. It's prototypes after prototypes, there's not real meat on that bone. Which is sad really, as you said there are some good ideas in there, but these will never be fully fleshed out and make a proper game out of it.

Honestly I feel like this is so hard and so rare Steam wouldn't be remotely concerned about it. In fact if I were them I'd even reward it. If a challenge like this were to get around it would inspire a lot of new Steam accounts and probably only a handful of people would actually succeed.
Exactly, it's like when people complain about game reviewers getting free copies. You lose 8 copies of the game so 8 can get 1,000,000 each to get inspiration to buy the game. Marketing is in the pool of buyers. This is unironically free advertising
The problem is it would kind of endorse creating multiple steam accounts to practice and it’s in the steam policy’s that you can only have one account,I know it’s a dumb rule and nobody cares about it but steam wouldn’t endorse it sadly

I actually miss seeing the characters use the tools like the bolt cutters for instance. Having it just float and do it in RE2 RE3 remake and RE8 just sucks
I do not remember characters using items in any RE game besides cranks, except maybe 4. They just watch after you use an item. And Village definitely does NOT suck.
It's probably in their favor not to. To do it, they had to buy the game and play it a ton, then re-buy the game for the Speedrun. This invites others to do it, and if they can't all do it, they will end up purchasing multiple copies of the game. From the game studios' standpoint, this is even more publicity. Nobody really loses.
@@CLove511 Your mistake is assuming that a game corporation has the capacity for rational thought or acting in their own favor. As much as people say corporations only care about money, I personally don't even think that's true, considering how determined some game corporations are to shoot themselves in the feet at every possible opportunity, and cost themselves for it.
@@thebronzeavengers4194 But they had to buy the original game once. Even if they're getting refunds on other copies, they already paid to play the game.
Changing the whole Steam refund policy just for one dude in the world who's doing this kind of runs? Would be easier to just add a limit of games you can refund per month or year (if that isn't already a thing) Besides, it's not like this will cost Steam any money. He needs to buy games twice to do this stuff, so at the end he refunds one but keeps his first purchase like anyone else.
Thank you for saying “I could not care less” instead of “I could care less” which is what most people say and makes absolutely no sense given the context
Even tho he refunded re7, it's still a great game. I just finished it and ou boi, i had so much fun with the survival horror aspect of the game, the puzzles, jack giving you a heart attack in the first 2 hours of the game when he appears on screen, it was all great
You don't always need to have 2 hours or less to refund a game on Steam. I had over 6 hours on Bioshock Infinite and when I went to refund it I simply said in my refund ticket that I "bought it to take screenshots for a magazine." and somehow it worked and I got my money back.
5:21 i normally just unlock and enter the hatch on the floor as soon as i go in the room he’ll leave once you do as he cant enter the crawlspace and it will probably be faster
that wasn't why he hid. it takes a while for the crawlspace to open, in madhouse mode, jack is extremely fast. Jack would cut off Ethan's leg, so it was a good move to hide and wait for Jack to leave
My brain exploded when I learned that. Because I was like f the whole thing where he puts his arm back on and all the parts like that. Then to find out there's a Canon reason he can do that was like oh okay turn something I hate into something super interesting and rad.
Normal Player: This is a spooky game I have to be careful and sneak around uhTrance: "Just takin a stoll, don't mind me. Oooh, is that acoin? Yoink, thx bye, cu later."
It was cool to see you use some of the speed run techniques. There are a few more like the main room out of bounds glitch to get the red keycard which will save some time, skip the dead body animation at the beginning, and the power swing swipe, block technique to end Mia’s dying animation at the first boss fight, and the technique to get Mia to rise faster from the ground, and obviously much more. I love speed running this game more than any other RE title. I loved the challenge !
There’s also the ‘no more than three heals’ and ‘don’t use item box more than three times’ which he didn’t do. Maybe those are console only?? (I 100%ed on ps4)
@@lovdnaaten4123 wouldn't make sense to be console only. Maybe you can't do all that within 2 hours like Maybe you have to use the box more than 3 times to have the space idk
I love how your chat started talking about shotgun gauge but didn't know what they're talking about. The lower the gauge, the larger the diameter of the bore/barrel, not the pellets themselves. 10 gauge shells can fit more shot or larger slugs than 12 gauge, 12 is larger than 20 gauge, etc. The exact measurement of gauge is the number of lead spheres of equal diameter to the barrel it would take to measure one pound in weight. So 10 gauge would take 10 lead balls equal diameter to the barrel, etc.
especially since he bought it already on his main account, game producers aren’t losing anything. It’s a “I bet I can do it, if not I’ll pay double price”, kind of bet. Win win really lol
What about the trophy for shooting Marguerite while she is launching at you? I didn't notice it in this run, and I remember it being pretty tricky for me.
Three years from now on the news headlines: "SpeedRunners makes Steam change its refunds policies from under 2 hours to under 2 minutes". That being said, I really thing a refund policy could be removed as long as every single title in the store had a Demo for you to play. Frankly, if you buy a game while having a demo of it, together with Reviewrs and the reviews on Steam, and you don't like it, that's on you XD But back on topic: Awesome run. One day I may try RE7.
i had to refund a game because it froze every few minuted because my laptop wasn't strong enough to run it, a demo would probably not have been to big of an issue as it was only barely capable of not running it.
@@borisvanderhof8952 agree. i always feel bad to refund especially its the franchise i love example trail of the cold steel 3. refund like 2 time for tweaks since demo not optimized enough. in the end it just 2 fps from 10 on the demo so i leave it. Then not touching 2nd one ever again. But yeah if only all company do demo on steam. I got warning from steam already back then but reset now.
I'm a bit confused on how you did it on madhouse which only unlocks after you beat the game once, and then did a 100% on a second run. All within 2 hours. Impressive.
Madhouse also unlocks if you purchase any of the special coins (Attack etc) which he did. You see them in the item box, and I believe the refund screen at the end also shows the DLCs
@0:43 "But do you know what else is really challenging" Yeah, not pounding that dislike button the moment someone starts Raid shill script. That urge is vary difficult to resist.
What constitutes 100% for these runs? Cause he didn't get all achievements, and even excluding dlc achievements I believe you have to do more than one run. Regardless though beating it in madhouse the way you did and refunding it was still cool
A valid 100% run must include: Destroy all Mr. Everywhere Bobbleheads(20) Pick up all Antique Coins(E-18)(MH-33) Read all Files(32) Use all Stabilizers(2) Use all Steroids(4) From the rules of speedun site
Really fun video to watch! I can't even begin to imagine the levels of memorization and skill that goes into pulling off some of these tactics at the correct timing/intervals. Nicely done and great concept for a series!
Night 3 and I'm still only at 3:51 I like to watch TH-cam before sleeping and your voice is so soothing and satisfying to hear it makes me lose focus and practically fall asleep. I don't mind having to rewatch some segments over and over though because I do tend to miss out on something you'd say or would happen to you. All in all I'm glad TH-cam recommended you to me and I'll be enjoying both catching up on past and viewing your more recent content, also going to follow your Twitch!
I bought this game at my local game shop and beat it in 2 playthroughs over 2 days. The game store has a 14 day return policy so I've started a personal challenge of buying, beating, and returning as many games as I can with the same $12.99. infinite games my dude
You are so good! I love resident evil 7 (I know lots of people don't!) This was a really fun watch because i really enjoyed RE7 during when it came out and it seems that people sort of forgot about it, so thanks so much for playing it in 2022. On top of that, this was very entertaining! Must've been a headache to remember all the things and sit through all the boring cutscenes!
@@sebastiang9435 I heard people saying they don't like the 1st person AT ALL and the enemy design was not interesting. I LOVE it, but i'll admit, I do hate the ship part. I found it boring. the really really big RE lovers just want tank controls fixed camera, and when re7 is first person, a lot of people have a natural response to hate it a bit.
@@Gnhmnh I agree, when I first saw moldeds, I thought they were SO SO COOL but then after a while i found out that they are just the only enemies around excluding bosses haha. you're right, it's not perfect. I don't like the story either, however, the game is so close to my heart because I just love the colours and sounds and everything and it reminds me of days that will never come back - let's put it that way. Ethan could've called the police, yes! But that's just the game for you, it never happened, instead, police came to him (an officer all by himself) and then he died. I still play the DLC's because I enjoy them, I find Ethan Must Die very addictive (i probably have the most hours on that thing than anyone else in the world)
@@Gnhmnh Ship is the worst part for me, i find it boring and just a chore. That's why RE7 isn't a 10/10 game for me, the ship ruined it and the story sucks
Man, with all the shit TH-cam's been up to lately, you just have to admit that the "skip 10 seconds" feature is probably still one of the best and most necessary features on this entire platform
I'm a year late and doing a 1st playthrough of RE: 7 myself. BUUUTT, Marguerite's weak spot is her head and funny enough her egg sack is her strongest point to avoid hitting
Before I watched this I was wondering how you did get all the Achievements in under 2 hours. Let's say, it still seems impossible to get them in that time frame.
I would say that it's not good for developers to exploit the refund system like this, but considering that you probably have to buy the game multiple times just to get a successful run, they actually make MORE money than they would from a regular player, lol.
He would do it first on his Main account as he said in the beginning of the video. Also the companies lose literally nothing if even a 100 people would do this
?? It's pretty high across the Europe but not a big difference. I think Luxemburg has lowest taxes at around 17% and Denmark is most expensive (25%) Well, these countries are less capitalistic so high taxes are partly justified, I think EU actualy has directive that forbids setting taxes lower than 15%.
Great vid mate, love the streams, don't understand why people hating the thumbnails, cuz clearly the intention behind it is working since they've watched the vid xd, Keep up the good work and try and bring home another rekkie xd
Who else just skips 5 minutes through the video when they see a raid shadow legends sponsor add? Like I could care less about about how much of the vid I skip because it's obviously gonna be bad quality when they're sponsored by raid, I just don't wanna see another second of a raid shadows legend add.
Wait. What was up with that Jack 1 fight? How did you clear it so fast? From when you first hit him that was about 2:30. Then Jack 2 you beat in about 1:30? 🤔 And Marguerite 1 can be cleared on 10 seconds?!? I’m just a bit dumbfounded by your clear times as you go through. Marguerite 2 seemed more plausible. Your aim is really good.
I've been doing this with Amazon's Kindle store for years lol. Buy books I want to laugh at but not buy and speed read to return it within 24 hours for my refund. Did it with a few Twilight books and the Divergent trilogy.
Its not a big deal to a company like Capcom but please keep this to big companies. I read a very sad post on reddit not too long ago about a solo indie dev who developed a game for 6 years, put it on steam, and literally the very first purchase was refunded and the person put the game up on several pirating sites. I just don't want people getting negative ideas in their head built around abusing the system any more than already happens.
I like how these thumbnails imply that Steam is a dude that has a discord. And either Trance and Steam are acquainted for business, or it's an abusive relationship.
mate, cool video but i really think you should re-buy the game from Steam. You played it, finished it, got refund, point proven....but doesn't feel right that Steam should be stiffed or their product sales.

Not only not new but stupid and the guy is dishonest with what he's doing
I actually miss seeing the characters use the tools like the bolt cutters for instance. Having it just float and do it in RE2 RE3 remake and RE8 just sucks
Strongly agreed
I do not remember characters using items in any RE game besides cranks, except maybe 4. They just watch after you use an item. And Village definitely does NOT suck.

@@xXx3OOOv2 he never said the games suck just that visual feature
he's back at it again, and he will keep doing it until steam changes the rules.
It's probably in their favor not to. To do it, they had to buy the game and play it a ton, then re-buy the game for the Speedrun.
This invites others to do it, and if they can't all do it, they will end up purchasing multiple copies of the game.
From the game studios' standpoint, this is even more publicity.
Nobody really loses.
@@CLove511 Or creating a new account, got to 1:58 then refund
and creat a new one repeat and repeat
@@CLove511 Your mistake is assuming that a game corporation has the capacity for rational thought or acting in their own favor.
As much as people say corporations only care about money, I personally don't even think that's true, considering how determined some game corporations are to shoot themselves in the feet at every possible opportunity, and cost themselves for it.
@@thebronzeavengers4194 But they had to buy the original game once. Even if they're getting refunds on other copies, they already paid to play the game.
Changing the whole Steam refund policy just for one dude in the world who's doing this kind of runs? Would be easier to just add a limit of games you can refund per month or year (if that isn't already a thing)
Besides, it's not like this will cost Steam any money. He needs to buy games twice to do this stuff, so at the end he refunds one but keeps his first purchase like anyone else.
Massive props for correctly using the "I could not care less" phrase in the thumbnail
Of course he used it correctly. He’s British
Thank you for saying “I could not care less” instead of “I could care less” which is what most people say and makes absolutely no sense given the context
Even tho he refunded re7, it's still a great game. I just finished it and ou boi, i had so much fun with the survival horror aspect of the game, the puzzles, jack giving you a heart attack in the first 2 hours of the game when he appears on screen, it was all great
You don't always need to have 2 hours or less to refund a game on Steam. I had over 6 hours on Bioshock Infinite and when I went to refund it I simply said in my refund ticket that I "bought it to take screenshots for a magazine." and somehow it worked and I got my money back.
2:31 To avoid Raid: Casino Legends
I had to fast forward.
Thanks
I gotta say, the RE3 remake final boss sound track is really good. Great use of it toward the end of the run to, I thought it was a nice touch
... I mean, it's not like they're really losing any money. He's just playing on a separate account to flex. He's already got it on his main account.
5:21 i normally just unlock and enter the hatch on the floor as soon as i go in the room he’ll leave once you do as he cant enter the crawlspace and it will probably be faster
that wasn't why he hid. it takes a while for the crawlspace to open, in madhouse mode, jack is extremely fast. Jack would cut off Ethan's leg, so it was a good move to hide and wait for Jack to leave
Steam: oh look another new account. They've bought Res evil 7... Hol up...
I’m just glad someone used the saying about not caring less correctly. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
This man tells you about steam’s refund policy more than DC tells you batman is an orphan
I Love The Grey Prince Zote Hollow Knight Music I Only Noticed It At 11:15
Randomly found this channel like 2 weeks ago and just been WAITING for a new video to drop. Love the videos dude
I still find it crazy that Ethan actually died after fighting Mia and getting knocked out by Jack
My brain exploded when I learned that. Because I was like f the whole thing where he puts his arm back on and all the parts like that. Then to find out there's a Canon reason he can do that was like oh okay turn something I hate into something super interesting and rad.
Me too but even though we play as him, he's still a regular normal guy until dying.
Nice spoilers
Dude, spoilers for both games. Come on
@@Th3BlackLotus they've both been out for over a year now and you're in the comments, what did you expect?

uhTrance: "Just takin a stoll, don't mind me. Oooh, is that acoin? Yoink, thx bye, cu later."
11:34 the shots in sync with the music is so good
It was cool to see you use some of the speed run techniques.
There are a few more like the main room out of bounds glitch to get the red keycard which will save some time, skip the dead body animation at the beginning, and the power swing swipe, block technique to end Mia’s dying animation at the first boss fight, and the technique to get Mia to rise faster from the ground, and obviously much more.
I love speed running this game more than any other RE title. I loved the challenge !
Just realized theres no way he can 100% the game even without DLC's
you gotta play it twice for mia and zoe
There’s also the ‘no more than three heals’ and ‘don’t use item box more than three times’ which he didn’t do. Maybe those are console only?? (I 100%ed on ps4)
@@lovdnaaten4123 wouldn't make sense to be console only. Maybe you can't do all that within 2 hours like Maybe you have to use the box more than 3 times to have the space idk

@@sachanvr 100% kinda includes achievements
@@isaacclarke8358 by 100% it means collecting all the collectible.
I love how your chat started talking about shotgun gauge but didn't know what they're talking about.
The lower the gauge, the larger the diameter of the bore/barrel, not the pellets themselves. 10 gauge shells can fit more shot or larger slugs than 12 gauge, 12 is larger than 20 gauge, etc.
The exact measurement of gauge is the number of lead spheres of equal diameter to the barrel it would take to measure one pound in weight. So 10 gauge would take 10 lead balls equal diameter to the barrel, etc.
akshually
especially since he bought it already on his main account, game producers aren’t losing anything. It’s a “I bet I can do it, if not I’ll pay double price”, kind of bet. Win win really lol
What about the trophy for shooting Marguerite while she is launching at you? I didn't notice it in this run, and I remember it being pretty tricky for me.
Three years from now on the news headlines: "SpeedRunners makes Steam change its refunds policies from under 2 hours to under 2 minutes".
That being said, I really thing a refund policy could be removed as long as every single title in the store had a Demo for you to play. Frankly, if you buy a game while having a demo of it, together with Reviewrs and the reviews on Steam, and you don't like it, that's on you XD
But back on topic: Awesome run.
One day I may try RE7.
i had to refund a game because it froze every few minuted because my laptop wasn't strong enough to run it, a demo would probably not have been to big of an issue as it was only barely capable of not running it.
@@borisvanderhof8952 agree. i always feel bad to refund especially its the franchise i love example trail of the cold steel 3. refund like 2 time for tweaks since demo not optimized enough. in the end it just 2 fps from 10 on the demo so i leave it. Then not touching 2nd one ever again. But yeah if only all company do demo on steam. I got warning from steam already back then but reset now.
You definitely should. It's excellent across the board. It was the game that truly brought the RE series back on its feet.
they'll just start frontloading games (to sell off first level demos) like the lion king video game debaucle from disney
I'm a bit confused on how you did it on madhouse which only unlocks after you beat the game once, and then did a 100% on a second run. All within 2 hours. Impressive.
Madhouse also unlocks if you purchase any of the special coins (Attack etc) which he did. You see them in the item box, and I believe the refund screen at the end also shows the DLCs
Now, the real challenge is doing this challenge on village ;)
"....But you know what else is challenging?" - Man selling his soul, 2022.
@0:43 "But do you know what else is really challenging" Yeah, not pounding that dislike button the moment someone starts Raid shill script. That urge is vary difficult to resist.
What constitutes 100% for these runs? Cause he didn't get all achievements, and even excluding dlc achievements I believe you have to do more than one run. Regardless though beating it in madhouse the way you did and refunding it was still cool
A valid 100% run must include:
Destroy all Mr. Everywhere Bobbleheads(20)
Pick up all Antique Coins(E-18)(MH-33)
Read all Files(32)
Use all Stabilizers(2)
Use all Steroids(4)
From the rules of speedun site
@@Reet69 thank you
This is the first time I see a Raid ad that actually talks about some realistic parts of the game lmao, doom tower is so ass :^)
Really fun video to watch! I can't even begin to imagine the levels of memorization and skill that goes into pulling off some of these tactics at the correct timing/intervals. Nicely done and great concept for a series!
Night 3 and I'm still only at 3:51
I like to watch TH-cam before sleeping and your voice is so soothing and satisfying to hear it makes me lose focus and practically fall asleep. I don't mind having to rewatch some segments over and over though because I do tend to miss out on something you'd say or would happen to you.
All in all I'm glad TH-cam recommended you to me and I'll be enjoying both catching up on past and viewing your more recent content, also going to follow your Twitch!
I bought this game at my local game shop and beat it in 2 playthroughs over 2 days. The game store has a 14 day return policy so I've started a personal challenge of buying, beating, and returning as many games as I can with the same $12.99. infinite games my dude
I love the thumbnail because i think Is true that Steam say to trance stop doing 100% games and the refund
You are so good! I love resident evil 7 (I know lots of people don't!) This was a really fun watch because i really enjoyed RE7 during when it came out and it seems that people sort of forgot about it, so thanks so much for playing it in 2022. On top of that, this was very entertaining!
Must've been a headache to remember all the things and sit through all the boring cutscenes!
Who dont like it? Ive heard nothing but positive over this game
@@sebastiang9435 I heard people saying they don't like the 1st person AT ALL and the enemy design was not interesting.
I LOVE it, but i'll admit, I do hate the ship part. I found it boring.
the really really big RE lovers just want tank controls fixed camera, and when re7 is first person, a lot of people have a natural response to hate it a bit.
@@Gnhmnh I agree, when I first saw moldeds, I thought they were SO SO COOL but then after a while i found out that they are just the only enemies around excluding bosses haha.
you're right, it's not perfect. I don't like the story either, however, the game is so close to my heart because I just love the colours and sounds and everything and it reminds me of days that will never come back - let's put it that way. Ethan could've called the police, yes! But that's just the game for you, it never happened, instead, police came to him (an officer all by himself) and then he died.
I still play the DLC's because I enjoy them, I find Ethan Must Die very addictive (i probably have the most hours on that thing than anyone else in the world)
@@Gnhmnh Yeah, I like Nightmare DLC as well, used to play that a lot.
@@Gnhmnh Ship is the worst part for me, i find it boring and just a chore.
That's why RE7 isn't a 10/10 game for me, the ship ruined it and the story sucks
Taking "you only lose as much money as you take time" seriously like power move
How is anyone surprised by this? You don't HAVE to include steams' validation to prove anything, you are awesome!
15:17
i hope BlitzarVR had good night in the fridge
Man, with all the shit TH-cam's been up to lately, you just have to admit that the "skip 10 seconds" feature is probably still one of the best and most necessary features on this entire platform
I know right? I didnt even realize how much i use it and how painful it would be without it
4:07 hey that’s me lol
You can actually play 2 hours and 59 minutes and you can still get the full refund, I am pro in this 😂
This the gaming equivalence of eating your entire plate at a restaurant, then asking for a refund b/c you "didn't like it" lol
I'm a year late and doing a 1st playthrough of RE: 7 myself. BUUUTT, Marguerite's weak spot is her head and funny enough her egg sack is her strongest point to avoid hitting
this guy gonna make me download RAID just to support him
beating the game in 2 hours and getting all the collectibles at the same time is wild good shit
Before I watched this I was wondering how you did get all the Achievements in under 2 hours. Let's say, it still seems impossible to get them in that time frame.
100% in speedruns means all collectibles 100% for achievement hunters is getting all the achievements
100% game file, not cheevos
People just lack common sense today. Preach was right, that video made a few cells disappear.
Steam: "This is a REAL message sent to warn you and not a fake one made up so you could use it as a thumbnail"
I would say that it's not good for developers to exploit the refund system like this, but considering that you probably have to buy the game multiple times just to get a successful run, they actually make MORE money than they would from a regular player, lol.
He would do it first on his Main account as he said in the beginning of the video. Also the companies lose literally nothing if even a 100 people would do this
@@cupofsteel3080 plus if this inspires people to try many wouldn't succeed and like you said they'd need to already have it to begin with
The craziest part about this run is you paying 1.91 on a 7.98 purchase. 24% sales tax, what the hell?
?? It's pretty high across the Europe but not a big difference. I think Luxemburg has lowest taxes at around 17% and Denmark is most expensive (25%) Well, these countries are less capitalistic so high taxes are partly justified, I think EU actualy has directive that forbids setting taxes lower than 15%.
What’s the intended method for destroying the bobble heads on the ship if you have no guns? Backtracking?
In regards to the thumbnail, everyone knows Steam has a discord profile and messages users with threats to ban them.
Great vid mate, love the streams, don't understand why people hating the thumbnails, cuz clearly the intention behind it is working since they've watched the vid xd, Keep up the good work and try and bring home another rekkie xd
I always feel so uncomfortable fighting Margarete, nasty
Who else just skips 5 minutes through the video when they see a raid shadow legends sponsor add? Like I could care less about about how much of the vid I skip because it's obviously gonna be bad quality when they're sponsored by raid, I just don't wanna see another second of a raid shadows legend add.
bro chill💀💀
The thumbnail makes me love this even more! XD
PS: RAID is a BAD game. Trust me on that.
It is, I feel like most TH-camrs just don't care what they sponsor
The real question you should be asking is why does RE always have a boss with the creepy glowing eyes? Salazar in re4, Wesker in 5.
12:50 the Hollow Knight music in the back fits perfectly
Wait. What was up with that Jack 1 fight? How did you clear it so fast? From when you first hit him that was about 2:30. Then Jack 2 you beat in about 1:30? 🤔 And Marguerite 1 can be cleared on 10 seconds?!? I’m just a bit dumbfounded by your clear times as you go through. Marguerite 2 seemed more plausible. Your aim is really good.
Inspired me to do my first ever speed run. Got it clicked in today at 2:27:04!
It took me 26 hours to beat this game, this was on the hardest difficulty but I did not 100 percent it because I missed one achievement
I've been doing this with Amazon's Kindle store for years lol. Buy books I want to laugh at but not buy and speed read to return it within 24 hours for my refund. Did it with a few Twilight books and the Divergent trilogy.
I played on standard and still had difficulty and he is: "well just another day"
this wasn't even close to 100% steam completion though
I think we can all agree that Justin Parwal in the chat was annoying af
So nobody is gonna talk about the thumbnail that’s totally fake ?
No.
Yes i hate it too bro✌
did anyone else notice the hollow knight bgm at around 10:00
I thought 3 heals max was an achievement?? Yet bro heals heaps of times
Its not a big deal to a company like Capcom but please keep this to big companies. I read a very sad post on reddit not too long ago about a solo indie dev who developed a game for 6 years, put it on steam, and literally the very first purchase was refunded and the person put the game up on several pirating sites. I just don't want people getting negative ideas in their head built around abusing the system any more than already happens.
But.. you didn't 100% it?
How

And either Trance and Steam are acquainted for business, or it's an abusive relationship.
i love the calm gentle Hollow Knight music to drown out the screams
The best thing about this is the developers who spent so many years making this game get absolutely nothing for all their work!
no. absolutely not. he already owns another copy of the game. this doesn't affect steam or the Devs Whatsoever.
The devs already make more money in a day than you will ever see in your life time stop trying to defend people from a non existent issue
mate, cool video but i really think you should re-buy the game from Steam. You played it, finished it, got refund, point proven....but doesn't feel right that Steam should be stiffed or their product sales.
If he keeps this shit up, he could destroy the refund policy for MILLIONS. He's a thief and people really need to stop supporting his sinful bullshit.
He already owns the game on a separate account. steam doesn't GAF they're getting exposure anyways
