Getting Over It Developer Reacts to 1 Minute 24 Second Speedrun 

When a new record is set

Is he doing a bit or is he actually as pretentious as he sounds in the game all the time? lmao

@@anon4854 that's him in his normal form xD

@@wiawaysb Just read he majored in philosophy at uni. Totally explains everything about his personality 😂🤣

​@@anon4854 he's just talking about game design 💀

There actually used to be a feature where if the game detected you were speedrunning it, it would disable the narrator. The feature was removed in some version, though.

Just like Stanley Parable eh?

Yes

you're*

Or it could play in the end screen if you won in a mere few minutes. :)

I'd be cool with that

"Ok, cool. Later!"

lmao

"Shut up! Just say you need anything or not."

Is it pretentious to remark when one is often called verbose and lofty, a user of flowery circuitous verbeage? A stigma must exist for those who reject gravity's spirit, stroking the brush on the canvas of conversation furiously to mitigate the thought spilling over their intent brow? Before life gets another tag on your chin, slap some prose into the fight. What an absurd moment thanks!!!

Ah, all those hours to become an overpowered anime character

@@eagletgriff Days of Fates starts playing

way more accurate lmfao

@@eagletgriffi found all 900 pinecones

that makes me think three words Prince Rupert's drop

Exactly, this should just play if the game notices you're in space in under 1m30s.

@Challenge man in the description it says he is

💀💀

Lmao

@the man wha

Really?

Yeah exactly 🔥🔥

and then they break it over their knee

Or competitive players in any vs game

That's what this dev is trying to convince himself about, yes. In reality, most speedrunners speedrun games because they want a name in the speedrunning community. Yes, liking the game helps, but it's not a prerequisite.

@@Ezullof Speedruns require immense preparation, practice, and skill. Why would you speedrun a game you didn't love enough to want to master it's mechanics to the logical extreme?

😂😂😂

Ask Markiplier, he definitely loved his voice.

whenever he talks in the game, it's the equivalent of listening to a video essay about the game while playing it.

Honestly, his voice was very calming when playing the game, idk why people got more mad because of it

@@c0hink176 because the timing, it’s usually after a fall.

henoryry That’s the joke

101st Like!

@@bean6377 Yup, exactly. The joke seemed to have flown right over the heads of the people that are commenting that this video "should have been called".

Wait- What joke?

carealoo744 Bennet said that at the beginning knowing fully well that the guy didn’t need time to “warm up”

Well it is a "glitchless" speedrun

Yeah it looks like he didn't actually care about this speedrunner doing the gamd

Anyone know what the song is?

That was the best

@Just hide the pain yes that’s how game development works

As he's talking about speedrunners

he did finish his speech when the speedrun wasnt even in space, what are you talking about lol

@@JohnPaulBuce hey man, it was just a joke

Umm, actually no.

benned foddy speedruns reaction

"minutes"

I think u mean " less that a minute and a half"

Same here bro

Hahahahahahahahaahahha make me smile hahahaha

Underrated comment

In Mother Russia, you suffer while the developer watches a speedrun.

He pulled a reverse uno card

There isn't really much to react to. This Speedrun is just somebody playing the game really, really well. There's only one shortcut that is anything other than playing the game exactly how it was intended to be played, just very quickly.

@@markjacobson4248 Then don't say it in the title. Super simple stuff. "Reaction video title" "Reaction video comment on how it's not a reaction" "Reaction video comment on how it's not possible"

For a moment I thought "Hardcore speedrunners? There aren't any other kind - " And then I remembered that speedrunning is a hobby for most people, everyone has to start somewhere, some people just do it on their own for fun, and the stuff we see really is usually just the 'hardcore' speedrunners. The ones who work the hardest and do the best. But there are people who speedrun more to challenge themselves for a little while, have fun with a game they love in a new way, and move on before they come anywhere near breaking a world record, because that's not what it's really about for them. Thank you for reminding me that the world is nuanced, though that may not have been your intention :)

just like Bane with Batman

@@n3zum1 Underrated take. You can't break something "unbreakable" in one go unless you understand it perfectly.

I'd rather say they take a hammer and a spoon to hit it once at the perfect spot and make it fall apart.

I was watching that part at the exact moment I read this

This

This two

Or Getting Over It... Speedrun...With Bennett Foddy

Yeah

over getting over it speedrun

For some reason it's exactly how I'd imagine someone with the name *Bennet* would talk.

yeah pretentiously lol

He’s sounds like maxmoefoe lol

@@josefzalusky7307 You need to watch more Commando

I agree. Speedrunning takes practice, a lot of practice. It’s impossible for someone to pick up a game to speed run without somehow liking the game beforehand. If they did it because, “lol it’s the easiest game to run.” That’s already sad.

Speedrunners and other types of players who seek to dissect a game and push it until it breaks and they create something new are honestly the game's biggest fans.

@@dragodadragon Indeed. A lesser fan wouldn't put nearly the same effort.

sounds like my parents marriage

@@ZTGOfficialYT genuine ouch and I'm sorry,

*no offence, but it doesn't drive you insane, it just requires some patience, and once you spend enough time on a specific obstacle, you CAN get through it, and, once you complete the game, you hav a sense of achievement,*

Yeah the developper's point of view was just crap. He says that the speed runners, unlike normal gamers, crack the game to achieve purpose. No. The goal of speed running is to complete certain tasks of the game as fast as possible. Any crack is the game would get used by anyone, the speed runner just looks and uses them the most to finish the game faster and not the other way around. Who the heck gives a crap about what the developper thinks? He makes a game, people play it. This doesn't make him some kind of savant or scientist.

@@akj7 r/whoosh

@@CraftageNate Why? There was also another comment before my previous one that somehow vanished.

@@akj7 That is what Bennet said. "They play the game differently." And while this is a poor title for the video, the fact you clicked on it either means you are interested or you wanna bash the people who are interested. Quote: "Yeah the developper's point of view was just crap" end-quote. You have replied in a way that makes it look like you missed everything Bennet said and said that his opinion is irrelevant.

goat

keep in mind this guy made QWOP long before he made getting over it

Seems like a know it all guy that just wants to annoy people lol

@@MilkyCao he made qwop? that’s so cool

He has advanced philosophy degrees iirc game designing was originally just a side gig

He perfectly measures being irratative and relaxing at the same time

His voice is both the vain of my existence and at the same time the one that keeps me sane

@@halfiem2510 do you mean bane?

@@ghost_cities oh yeh

@@Gorbenko-yo1kk His voice only irritates because of what you associate it with.

He wasn't being stuffy, he was stuffy... is .

or hes doing a bit for this video to replicate it?

what is this game called?

@@NorthwestLights206 it's in the title....

@@NorthwestLights206 Another hint: It's the first 3 words.

Large portion of the game? You mean the whole game😂

he probably rehearsed it several times with that in mind.

It is

Flashbacks 😑😑😑

if you think this game is hard, play the mobile version.

That deserves to be in a portrait XD

💀💀💀

Selmon bhai, nervous sweating

This feels like Benett Foddy and GLaDOS somehow merged into one

It's like in these stories of a perfect warrior or martial artist. A wizened old fighter approaches the statue, contemplates it, then taps it in just the right place, and it shatters to pieces. It's not even fantastical, real objects often have fault lines and inner stresses, like tempered glass or rocks!

As you have to dig deep into the core of a problem, to solve it

Here I’ll subscribe

speed runners are the kind of people who can put in 10,000+ hours into one game mastering and perfecting the fastest route through it

You missed the part where you break the sculpture on your knee.

I think most people got it, weird flex but ok.

It's not a joke, this is a warm-up run. No speedrunner would leave in a fall on their final record submission; the guy probably streamed an entire day of trying to beat a record and this was just a crandom clip.

@Lee Bard wholly incorrect.

@@leebard9335 completely correct

@@thealarm7057 Judging from the comments, no they didn't.

You have no idea how much this made me laugh.

Thats bloody hilarious

Underrated

best comment here

Ikr, ironic.

It's like if you find a chest in a game, you know the dev put it there. If you look up a skirt and there's something there, you know the dev put it there. You need to intimately know the mind of the developer and know each and every one of these fine details to excel at the art of speedrunning.

when it comes to an art so precise that you're using textures and the edges of sprites and exact frame cycles to improve, you basically learn the game as a second language it's a compliment if anything honestly

Your sarcasm is on POINT

@@deViant14 achtyoully, they tend to use all the failures of the devs [skips/glitches/time saves/etc] that the dev did not intend to break the game past what was originally thought to be humanly possible to complete it.

@@Astroqualia but do you know how much time and effort you need to put into a game to find all those shortcuts? and then once they find the shortcuts they need to practice them over and over again just to shave off the most fraction of a second in order to finish the game as fast as possible.

lmao

LOL

Ouch

And most sadistic comment by a person

Geometry dash ?

*Video game.

In a way he speedran this series

Yeah, it was a decent warm-up before the guy's final attempt.

The Commander Nax I love how he says “let me take a moment to say”.... now I know how they came up with the idea of narrator not shutting up and not staying on subject.

It's everything you would expect from the maker of Getting Over It. It honestly tooks me a second to realize that that wasn't in game diologue.

I don't know, i'd much rather listen to a smart person deliver a lecture than i would listen to that person simply react to something, but to each their own i guess :)

@@jord.an6123 - The title isn't "game developer delivers a lecture on the relationship between games and speedrunners", though... If you enter a coffee shop, it's because you want coffee, not a vast assortment of tea.

@@Avarioth Yes but I'd much rather have tea at a coffee shop than coffee, but to each their own I guess :)

sure, but a speedrun is itself the culmination of hundreds if not thousands of hours of effort. if speedrunning is like "getting over it", a WR run is just that last bit where they fly into space at the end, ignoring the months they spent getting up there. the only difference between speedrunners and casuals is that they love the climb and they have a whole community helping them figure out how to do it and supporting them in doing so - and as Foddy said, break the game over and over in new ways while doing so

I've beaten the game over 200 times, and my pb is still just 4m27.19s. This guy must've gone from lakeside to space tens of thousands of times.

As long as it makes since

because everything is philosophy

@@Halomcr Unlike your grammar.

@@krazyxki you mean his spelling

@@graybonesau Nah it's actually grammar in this case. Using the correct word is having correct grammar since the meaning changes.

It was the reaction I've been looking for. It's not everyday Devs show appreciation for people having fun with exploits.

It's not the reaction I was came here to see, but all things considering that is definitely the reaction I shouldve expected: Rambling about a topic through a stream of consciousness that has absolutely nothing to do with what is being played on screen. Just like the real game.

Somehow that was exactly the kind of reaction I was expecting from Foddy.

After listening to him talk to much in the game, honestly, this is exactly the reaction I was expecting. He isnt very reactionary, just very reflective

Idk what people are expecting what do you want him to say he up he up again hes up the snowy part its just 2 minutes he cant say anything

underrated comment

@Siicoris S'sarutu nah, that game is also very calming.

@@anomalocarislover7254 after a few completions of the game, yes, but not when you first play it

Shakespeare wrote in rythym

I’ll take “has never read any Shakespeare” for $100

Whatdafuq are you on?

why do pretentious douchebags talk like they know what they are talking about with such confidence? LMAO "Shakespearean way", literally nothing he stated was in a "Shakespearean way"

That was not Shakespearean lol

the entire game is

Why?

@@evvec1490 He broke his furniture.

Why though

All you people asking why, it’s when we played the damn game and kept raging and his voice keeps talking and it would piss us off even more

@@ILLUSI_O_N-V1 ohh.. ty for that.. and remind that Situation.. I mean i was wondering like "why do i recognize his voice somewhere". .. and there it it the Answer...

I think that’s just a sadist looking at things from a sadist’s point of view: If you love something, then it only makes sense to want to break it.

I think what's evident in ALL of these IGN dev react videos is that there is always at least some level of salt in a dev seeing their baby being broken before their eyes.

Reminds me of yandere dev

Considering this game is about frustrating and humiliating the player constantly, this sounds more like Bennett acknowledging that speedrunning is essentially having spent so long in the game that you have the right to do the same thing to the designer that the designer did to you at the start of the experience.

He's not wrong.

People tend to forget that speedrunners play the game millions times more than normal people do

This was supposed to be a reaction to the actual speedrun though .. not how he viewed speedrunners.

@@ijnatago8383 yeah but it literally sounded like an in game quote lol. He went all poetic in this reaction.

Yeah, tried to sound wise while literally giving no insight as to what's happening with the speedrun .. title totally should be "dev reacts to speedrunning while doing a shakepearean impression".

The speedrunner makes it look absurdly easy, but we all know it's not

Well, the streamer really didn't do groundbreaking stuff, other than being super fast. The game worked as intended, just faster.
