Run starts at 4:53
After going through my Ultra Hard playthrough I decided to see how speedrunning this game would be
I did one practice run just to ensure I had the load remover set up properly, so this was my 1st "real" attempt at the speedrun
almost 18m PB on this attempt
ZD Skip didn't work first attempt, so I reloaded from right before the room we restart the ZD Skip and did a second attempt, and still gained a little time due to my first run being so slow, and the GAIA prime skip didn't work first attempt either (I was too slow on that one, 100% my fault)
I also did the Skyrim route in the Bitter Climb but had some trouble in the beginning, overall, the only time loss for the entire run was those 4 splits near the end

Any% PS5 Very Easy Personal Best
Solid Run overall without too many major mess ups
Choked on the Boss at the very end and tried to counter her CQC too quick, got slammed into a 27s time loss
For the IGT Time in the video, I used the OBS Advanced Scene Switcher and an Image Based Comparison to pause the Game Time on Livesplit during the Pause Menu since Actual IGT actually pauses there. I also paused on The Sorrow Fight since Actual IGT Rewinds upon completion of that Fight. Also paused at the beginning during the Cold War Dialog, and as a result my Fake IGT on Livesplit was only off by 2s of Actual IGT")

Ive been a fan of the Assassins Creed Series since the beginning, join me as we ignore all of the Online Negativity and give this game an honest look.
As stated in the Stream, certain languages and cultures I struggle with some of the language, names, places and culture. Japanese language and culture (much like the Middle East with Assassins Creed: Mirage) is something Ive always struggled with, so please forgive me if I pronounce things incorrectly or have a hard time pronouncing or understanding things in that regard. I respectfully do my best.

Well with some help from the auto cutscene skip glitch
(Set up before the run here: https://youtu.be/rM1SQy-SZi8
By skipping the Ocelot Mid Fight Scene in a certain way, it causes the game to automatically skip all in-engine cutscenes)
Finally Joined the PS5 sub hour club
Didnt skip Ocelot Unit
Got The Pain Skip (missed that last time, not enough camo swaps)
Lethal Sniped The End before the Warehouse
1st attempt Lab skip again (lit)
Beat The Fury with Knife and 2 grenades quick and easy
Had to take a continue in the Groznyj Grad Weapons Wing before Raikov cause I missed a shot on a guard outside and caused a caution, so I just fake death pilled and took the continue, didnt feel like dealing with that
Volgin took 2 take downs each phase unfortunately
Decent Phase 1 Shagohod
Terrible Phase 2 Shagohod (He wasnt taking damage with the SVD, so after 3 loops of that I just sent an RPG to his Face)
Good 3 loop on The Boss
Overall not bad
4m16s RTA PB
3m35s IGT PB")

European Extreme Attempt starts at 12:06

This was probably one of the Hardest Gaming Challenges Ive done to date. I was physically exhausted after this one
Back in September 2023 I beat Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes using a Steering Wheel Controller on Very Easy in 1hr 28m on Very Easy
To celebrate 100 Followers on Twitch, we loaded up MGS2 and cranked the difficulty ALL THE WAY UP to European Extreme.
That did not go well, and I knew it would be Extremely difficult, but was still surprised at how difficult it was. I gave it my best, but in the end had to admit defeat and decided to roll the Difficulty back to Normal.
