If it's any consolation, Clement. You've made some of my favorite Let's Play videos I've seen and I routinely go back and listen to your Sonic videos while I'm working because your commentary in them were both humorous and informative. Some other standouts to me were your playthrough of Banjo Kazooie and Goemon 64 because I have nostalgic bias for them and Megaman X6 for obvious reasons. It's a pity you're going to be quitting the scene since you're one of the first Let's Players that I subscribed to. But it's understandable. I've gotten burnt out on a lot of things as well over the years. Nothing is stopping you picking it back up if you reconsider though. Good luck with whatever thing you decide to do next.

Your Let’s Plays were my childhood, Clement. The footage of your past LP’s tugged on the heartstrings because I was there for all of them, watched every episode, appreciated every detail, and felt every bit of love you had for the games you shared with us. They were objectively the best Let’s Plays to be found, and subjectively, you are the reason every single one of your videos are great, scripted or unscripted. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Clement, for everything you have given us over the years. That being said, I want you to disregard every cope in this comment section, and even some that you mentioned. You were absolutely right that it’s possible some of your viewers are selfish, and I hope you are able to separate the obligatory comments from the sincere ones. I know you have selfish viewers, because I am one. I did not watch Steambot Chronicles. There is probably a point in time I can scroll back to and see when I fell off. My point being, that your viewers and the world around them has changed. Many of us, myself included, have grown up since our hopping on point. The world around most of us has changed to become real and unforgiving. Where we once had the energy, enthusiasm, discipline, and time to enjoy and appreciate your amazing Let’s Plays, most of us now are weaker, burdened, and dare I say it, selfish. We now would rather your LP’s be a happy memory than watch them. We have been coddled by the changing landscape to prefer an easy handheld tour through a scripted video rather than go on an adventure through a game we may or may not like. It pains me to say all of this, Clement. I feel horrible having changed so much to your detriment despite you remaining the same Great Clement, having only changed for the better if anything. I’m sorry, Clement. We love you, brother, and again, thank you. I think I’ll go catch up on your Let’s Plays now and start returning the favor. If anyone here reading this is a real one, you would do the same.

EDIT/DISCLAIMER: After a quick look at the channel, I can confirm that I only recently “fell off” at Luigi’s Mansion because I didn’t want to spoil the game for myself. I doubt my one-viewership would have been enough to change Clement’s mind on the whole thing, much less Steambot Chronicles, but that will never change the fact that Clement’s LP’s (all of his content actually) are an absolute joy, and that we should all be ashamed of ourselves. This man is a treasure and he never deserved to flop. Godspeed, Clement. You will never not be Great.

Don't worry too much about it and just make what you want to make, which you are going to do now, so right on.

Doing lets plays on obscure games was always going to result in low views. Most people watch lets plays to see other people's thoughts on their favourite games, if barely anyone played it in the first place then that's going to be a very small portion of your audience. It's not a coincidence that games with massive passionate fanbases are the lets plays that get the most views.

It's been a fun ride, good sir. Granted, I wasn't too interested in Steambot, I think the last LP I watched of yours that wasn't Sonic related was Double Switch. I think the problem with Let's Plays is that it's a massive commitment to get through a game longer than 7 or 8 parts. That's a lot to go through. As someone who has been on KZhead as long as you, I've always had a firm belief that the best video projects are those you're most passionate about. If you feel most happy doing video essays on why you love a game, that's the way to go, and you have my support from here. It's better to take your time with one video and pour your heart into it than do several quick videos you're not fully committed to.

I frequently say you’re the best let’s player on KZhead. I always rolled my eyes when folks say game grumps is a “let’s play” when it’s two dudes just farting around when your content goes above and beyond in organization, gameplay tips, development history, talking about the music mid playthrough and sometimes muting your mic to just turn the jams up. The Eggman Easter egg in every video where a boss is called “egg” something. Then there’s the antichrist of let’s plays darksydephil. Complete polar opposite. Anyway, you’re the best clement.

Yeah, what it comes down to is that let's plays are not only a massive time investment to create, but also to watch. People such as myself who grew up on the Sonic and Mega-Man content you produced loved you because you were covering things that we also loved. Niche' material such as Steambot Chronicles might resonate well with some of your fans, but ultimately we have busy lives as well now, and a let's play series with an upper double digit video count on something we've never heard of is just not appealing or viable. That's why I am so glad you are self aware on this and willing to embrace the change to scripted content. Releasing a tight, thought provoking video on something that is 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or even an hour long will resonate so much more with people simply because it's something that can captivate, entertain, and potentially even educate, while remaining comfortably at the bookend of any given day. Good luck to you and your future, Clement. I know I'll certainly be tuning in to see what you have to say.

That's part of what I said in my own comment above. Time and responsibilities change people. And forget the commentary of Let's Plays, the mere act of even *recording* the game alone takes enough effort on its own. Out of curiosity, I did my own non-commentary playthroughs on my own channel last year. It was fun at first,..... until I tried playing Mario Lost Levels, and promptly got burned out when I realized the footage was a waste due to the audio being out of sync. *Which meant I would've had to play the WHOLE thing all over again.* And I have not attempted recording another game sense.

It doesn't help that youtube's format has pretty much alienated the very thing that made it popular.

If you're not late-night tv or putting mentos in your coke, the algorithm just doesn't favour you. I've been seeing it happen to all varieties of channels such as music, art, gaming etc. Watching your rumble Roses playthrough and the very little views it got showed me that the "let's play" formula is no longer going to be able to work in the battlefield of this new youtube compared to the previous area. Even Brainscratchcomms seems to be having this problem. Needless to say, I started with your sonic and I'll always continue to watch your content even if I rarely comment.

I honestly don't think it's because of you. The problem probably lies with two things: 1) Bigger franchises just get bigger viewcounts. It's sadly how it is. It's the thing that really annoys me as well because I've been following a youtuber called totally not mark, and he's been reviewing Berserk, my absolute favorite Manga. And that stuff barely gets over 100k most of the time while all his other stuff like One Piece and Dragonball gets 300k AT LEAST. It's annoying, but sadly it cannot be really changed. 2) Let's plays like yours really aren't a thing anymore. And normally, you would think that makes you unique and gives you something to stand out, but that's not how youtube works. Only the popular thing gets the views. The quality of your let's plays has always been high specifically because of your knowledge and your sense of humor. However, most people wanting to see let's plays nowadays just want some random people playing it "live" while making jokes. I also just think most people don't have the attention to sit through a let's play like that. They always want highlights, which is why the whole game reviewer thing takes off so much. With your FF retrospective, you went roughly the same route, and it shows in the numbers. Either way, I am hyped to see more of your future videos. Goodbye, Let's Plays. Keep pushing forward, Clement.

Yes, to some extent many people who sub never unsub themselves. there may be people who haven't clicked on Clement's video in a decade but are subbed because they can't be bothered to unsub. But Google does occasionally do a small purge of removing spam or automatically unsubbing super inactive accounts. And I think there was a huge, global subscriber dip some years back. So there's less "dead" accounts than you think, but still many ones who may not even remmber they subbed to Clement.

It's also just market saturation, there's so much content I want to consume being produced every day and not enough time to get through it so a lot of other channels I'm subscribed too just get kinda buried and it's not because I don't wanna watch them it's just that there's too much to get through.

Gonna be real with you, Clement. I didn't come here to watch your Megaman content or whatever was demanded of you. I learned of you from collaborations you made with content creators I had watched at the time and I found your personality and commentary incredibly amusing. Your earnest endearment to playing oldschool games or just games your passionate with were such a huge appeal. You are genuinely a fascinating and entertaining person, however as much of a pleasure it is to watch you on screen and talk about stuff... I feel overwhelemed having to keep up with Let's Plays that span over 20-30 minutes or 40+ parts. I've stopped watching Let's Plays in general as growing up I found that you don't quite have the free time on my hands that I used to have. There are so many things I'd like to get to than to set myself to watch something that would eventually feel like an obligation. I've felt the same way with other Let's Play channels I adore to watch and it sucks I can't give them the attention I once used to. However your videos about "Clement Remembers" were a stroke of genius as not only could you go in depth about the game and the wonderful experiences you had with them, it felt like something that was friendly and approachable to consume with my time. It gave me a feeling that I could be done with the video and feel satisfied without having that feeling of leaving something unfinished. I feel as a content creator, you have the potential to become a grand entertainer. Your mix of informative and passionate commentary is incredibly appealing. I just feel you need to find a formula in which you can use this trait in an effective manner in which people would be able to enjoy in bite sized, consumable spurts. It's a bit of a meme response, but... "20-30 videos that are 20-40 parts? Nuh-uh. A 1-2 hour video/podcast about one particular game/topic? I got time." Don't ever doubt yourself as a person as you are not a failure or anything the like. I hope to see you continue to grow both as a prosperous content creator, and most importantly, a person. I look forward to seeing more of the content you create, but please also give yourself the time of day to have a life you can enjoy with friends and family as well!

As long as we're still getting Clement, I'm happy. And if Clement is happy, even better. I did discover your channel for MegaMan content, and your let's plays are really some of the most well produce LP on KZhead, but that was years ago, and KZhead has really changed. There is just so much stuff now. Watching someone, even a creator you like, play some game you don't especially care for? "I might get to it later", and then the episodes start to add up and it turns into a bigger time investment, "I'll just wait for the next let's play". Not only are your scripted videos usually of higher quality, but they are just much more digestible; Even the really long ones, like the Sonic 06 review, which is easily my favorite, is easier to pick up and get in to. I still think it would be cool for you to cover obscure games, but maybe in a shorter format? I rarely comment, kinda hard to in a second language, but this is the type of video that feels more important to give feedback to. Big decisions are pretty hard, but I think this should be a fun hobby, rather than something that can weight on you, so I think this is also a smart change to make. Looking forward to future videos.

I became your subscriber because you were hitting all the right note on all the nostalgia I had with the older games you featured on your channel.

You were quite formative to my childhood, and I cant thank you enough for that. As the years went on, Id always check in on your channel to see what was up, hoping in the back of my head youd release a megaman game (I freaked when you finally did zx:advent because it was one of my favorites) but instead noticing you putting in consistent, dilligent work no matter what. you deserve to enjoy yourself in whatever you do.

Honestly. I've had a few moments the last few years where I've thought the thought "Oh shoot I should watch some Clement, he's got all these new letsplays. These games look super quirky, and I really miss that dude's commentary." Back in the day I loved your videos because of your take on the format. You and Chugga were the two kings of the hill for me, and it was a treat every time you uploaded. I even drew you fanart back in the day (it meant the world when you thanked me for it), but I don't have that middle school internet kid time anymore. Work, and the ever restricting social calendar just don't lend me the time to catch up on multiple 30 minute episodes a week, and once I'm behind, the que just keeps getting longer. A whole let's play can be the equivalent of two Seasons of TV, and I can't even seem to find the time for the shows my friends want me to watch. About your audience, I would disagree with you directly. You did find an audience that was there for you, but the format of your content didn't grow with us. I think the format change is going to really help. I'm honestly jazzed to hear that you're going to be making more digestible videos. I think the great performance of your FF videos is proof that we're here and waiting for you Clement, so take your time, but also you can't get these new videos to us fast enough!

I binged a whole summer in middle school catching up with your sonic and mega man LPs. And enjoyed every second. Not only did you have such a clean cut way talking about the game and truly showing everything it has to offer but you were also such a great commentator to do it to. The unfiltered nerd that knows evrything about the games he loves. And for that i'll always have respect for you. You introduced me to some obscure gems too like Fear Effect, Conkers Bad Fur Day, and many others. you would just put so much work into the video to make sure the viewer got everything is to get out of the game. And your determination to finish what you started. The dedication you had for the sonic retrospective is unparalleled . And hey now you got an archive of every sonic to date on your channel. That shits worth more then a purple heart. I figured you musta been getting burnt out through the end, after all you started in the LP era and kept the train going for over a decade. You stuck to what you know and loved. No weird shit but i feel like i got a little of how i am from you. You kinda parented me ngl, take it as you will. Anyways i just wanna say im excited for you to be spanning out of LPs and if you do truly take the route of video essays i will be SURE to tune in. Thats something i feel you can just nail.

If it's any consolation, Clement. You've made some of my favorite Let's Play videos I've seen and I routinely go back and listen to your Sonic videos while I'm working because your commentary in them were both humorous and informative. Some other standouts to me were your playthrough of Banjo Kazooie and Goemon 64 because I have nostalgic bias for them and Megaman X6 for obvious reasons. It's a pity you're going to be quitting the scene since you're one of the first Let's Players that I subscribed to. But it's understandable. I've gotten burnt out on a lot of things as well over the years. Nothing is stopping you picking it back up if you reconsider though. Good luck with whatever thing you decide to do next.
His X6 let's play is still one of my favorites on the platform because it's him getting more and more pissed off with the game with each part.

Such as I love watching Chuggaaconroy, but I didn't watch his Xenoblade Chronicles playthroughs because I am not interested in those games.
@@bebopknux5857 Sad part is if you aren't interested in Xenoblade, too bad cause there's basically a year's worth of videos OR MORE in those lengthy JRPGs lmao. I think that really shows how Lets Plays have died over the years. Back when watching people play games was a novelty and new and cool, you cared far less about what you were watching. But as you grow up and time is more valuable, you just want the content you know and love and it's way less appealing to take chances on stuff you don't care for already.
Looks like it’s the End of an Era. Glad to be around for it for as long as I did, and I can’t wait for what the future brings.
I watch Let's Plays when they're fiished. Came for the Megaman stayed for the personality. I never heard of steambot. I too am an adult at this point. It isn't that I had no interest. I am also trying to fix my life.
Very excited to see more scripted content from you! Glad to hear you're pursuing stuff that you want to do!
Woah another content creator I’ve watched commenting on another content creator I watch. So this is what it feels like. This is wild. Also I think your stuff is cool, but you do a lot of stuff and I can’t keep up. Sorry.
Yeah I prefer content creators doing stuff they enjoy, because even if most of the world finds it boring, their energy and excitement for what they're talking about just makes the content that much better and more enjoyable to watch.
Too bad he had to bitch and moan about how his audience is terrible for not watching his last LP.
@@agreedboarart3188 grow up
Your Let’s Plays were my childhood, Clement. The footage of your past LP’s tugged on the heartstrings because I was there for all of them, watched every episode, appreciated every detail, and felt every bit of love you had for the games you shared with us. They were objectively the best Let’s Plays to be found, and subjectively, you are the reason every single one of your videos are great, scripted or unscripted. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Clement, for everything you have given us over the years. That being said, I want you to disregard every cope in this comment section, and even some that you mentioned. You were absolutely right that it’s possible some of your viewers are selfish, and I hope you are able to separate the obligatory comments from the sincere ones. I know you have selfish viewers, because I am one. I did not watch Steambot Chronicles. There is probably a point in time I can scroll back to and see when I fell off. My point being, that your viewers and the world around them has changed. Many of us, myself included, have grown up since our hopping on point. The world around most of us has changed to become real and unforgiving. Where we once had the energy, enthusiasm, discipline, and time to enjoy and appreciate your amazing Let’s Plays, most of us now are weaker, burdened, and dare I say it, selfish. We now would rather your LP’s be a happy memory than watch them. We have been coddled by the changing landscape to prefer an easy handheld tour through a scripted video rather than go on an adventure through a game we may or may not like. It pains me to say all of this, Clement. I feel horrible having changed so much to your detriment despite you remaining the same Great Clement, having only changed for the better if anything. I’m sorry, Clement. We love you, brother, and again, thank you. I think I’ll go catch up on your Let’s Plays now and start returning the favor. If anyone here reading this is a real one, you would do the same.
EDIT/DISCLAIMER: After a quick look at the channel, I can confirm that I only recently “fell off” at Luigi’s Mansion because I didn’t want to spoil the game for myself. I doubt my one-viewership would have been enough to change Clement’s mind on the whole thing, much less Steambot Chronicles, but that will never change the fact that Clement’s LP’s (all of his content actually) are an absolute joy, and that we should all be ashamed of ourselves. This man is a treasure and he never deserved to flop. Godspeed, Clement. You will never not be Great.
*LPs
Take care Clement, we'll always appreciate you for the work you've done! I'll never forget your Sonic or Mega Man Let's plays. Those will always be my childhood! Take care! Edit: I feel like I need to add this I always watched these let's plays not just for Sonic or Mega Man, but also because of the amazing commentary you provided. You're a legend, and you always will be Stay great Clement
Yeah, KZhead's hard to understand with the number of subscribers and the viewcounts. It's all over the place with me too, getting 3% or 300% of my subscribers to watch the same kind of content depending on weird factors. Don't worry too much about it and just make what you want to make, which you are going to do now, so right on. As for me not watching Steambot Chronicles yet, I tend to wait till the entire run of let'splays is done so I can binge them all in one go. If that helps.
Lol same here. I wait till brainscratch has finished a playthrough. God knows I waited forever for FF7 remake to be done.
You shouldn't expect all of your subscribers to watch certain content if your content varies a lot. Especially with let's plays, there are certain games with are just not interesting to certain people no matter who is doing the let's play. With is reason why certian things are obscured other mainstream.
That does not help in the slightest, in fact thats the most damaging thing you can do to any creator. For comic book writers, we prefer if customers buy the issues rather than wait for the trades which could take a year
Yup, I got just under 250 subs, a lot of my vids get around 50-1000 views, but one of my vids has 116K views for some reason. KZhead is a weird place lmaoo
Same. I turn Let's Plays on for background noise while I'm doing something else and just keep track of what part I'm at, where in that part, etc. Now that Steambot is finished, I am looking forward to watching it.
As I've gotten older, it's been harder and harder to dedicate time to a long running video series. I've been meaning to catch up on Steambot, but I cannot blame you for putting Let's Plays to rest. I'm looking forward to the scripted content!
Doing lets plays on obscure games was always going to result in low views. Most people watch lets plays to see other people's thoughts on their favourite games, if barely anyone played it in the first place then that's going to be a very small portion of your audience. It's not a coincidence that games with massive passionate fanbases are the lets plays that get the most views.
Well said. The goemon game for the N64 wasn't very well known over here in the States so it's not that surprising the views for it are low.
Yeah, don't know why he was surprised that Steambot got low views when i'm sure a lot of people only find out about the game when he started to do a let's play on it. This is why a lot of let's players do playthroughs on well known games, you get much more of an audience if people have prior history with the game.
Also, subscriber numbers don't mean much. Some of the 130,000 subscribers may have subscribed a decade ago, accounts are dead etc.
I do feel bad for not keeping up with the channel, as someone who found you back in College because of your Mega Man play throughs. I hope you find success in your scripted content!
The FIRST-EVER Let's play I watched was your Sonic CD one. Now here we are, witnessing the end of an era. Good luck Clement! -Proto
Mine was Punch Out for Wii
@@patrickrusso9919 Same! Boy have the years gone by!
It's been a fun ride, good sir. Granted, I wasn't too interested in Steambot, I think the last LP I watched of yours that wasn't Sonic related was Double Switch. I think the problem with Let's Plays is that it's a massive commitment to get through a game longer than 7 or 8 parts. That's a lot to go through. As someone who has been on KZhead as long as you, I've always had a firm belief that the best video projects are those you're most passionate about. If you feel most happy doing video essays on why you love a game, that's the way to go, and you have my support from here. It's better to take your time with one video and pour your heart into it than do several quick videos you're not fully committed to.
I frequently say you’re the best let’s player on KZhead. I always rolled my eyes when folks say game grumps is a “let’s play” when it’s two dudes just farting around when your content goes above and beyond in organization, gameplay tips, development history, talking about the music mid playthrough and sometimes muting your mic to just turn the jams up. The Eggman Easter egg in every video where a boss is called “egg” something. Then there’s the antichrist of let’s plays darksydephil. Complete polar opposite. Anyway, you’re the best clement. I hope you can be the one to rejuvenate game reviews back to the glory days.
its more entertaining to see people play/see a game blind, that's not the reason game grumps sucks
Not to mention they never finished any project. Game Grumps are funny but the incomplete work is a huge problem. Unfortunate.
Yeah, what it comes down to is that let's plays are not only a massive time investment to create, but also to watch. People such as myself who grew up on the Sonic and Mega-Man content you produced loved you because you were covering things that we also loved. Niche' material such as Steambot Chronicles might resonate well with some of your fans, but ultimately we have busy lives as well now, and a let's play series with an upper double digit video count on something we've never heard of is just not appealing or viable. That's why I am so glad you are self aware on this and willing to embrace the change to scripted content. Releasing a tight, thought provoking video on something that is 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or even an hour long will resonate so much more with people simply because it's something that can captivate, entertain, and potentially even educate, while remaining comfortably at the bookend of any given day. Good luck to you and your future, Clement. I know I'll certainly be tuning in to see what you have to say.
This is basically everything I've been trying to say, but you said it better and nicer. ☺️
Honestly... yeah, I used to love those let's plays, and to a certain degree I still love older ones, but as you said. I'm older, I'm in college now about to move into Uni, and honestly scripted videos are just better because they're like podcasts in a way, somthing to put on and switch your brain off and just listen to.
Maybe I'm just reading it weirdly or getting an off vibe, or maybe I just felt more deeply the bit of the vid where Clement was talking about the depression phase, but the middle part of this comes off as... I don't know if the words I'm looking for is 'passive aggressive' or not, but it comes off as almost agreeing with how Clement was feeling in the depressive phase. The "They're not here for *me*, they're just here because *Megaman or Sonic*" Maybe I am just reading it weirdly.
That's part of what I said in my own comment above. Time and responsibilities change people. And forget the commentary of Let's Plays, the mere act of even *recording* the game alone takes enough effort on its own. Out of curiosity, I did my own non-commentary playthroughs on my own channel last year. It was fun at first,..... until I tried playing Mario Lost Levels, and promptly got burned out when I realized the footage was a waste due to the audio being out of sync. *Which meant I would've had to play the WHOLE thing all over again.* And I have not attempted recording another game sense.
A sad day indeed. I remember first finding your let’s plays of the Sonic Series and then finding Brainscratch Comms through your collab on the ‘06 commentary. Been a wild ride. Gonna miss your let’s plays man.
I love that one! I'm watching it again every now and then
same this was how I found clement sonic , sonic 06 was funny as hell, and Johnny and clement verseing each other in sonic generations was halarious as well I enjoyed the skits you did, your great looking forward to your new content.
I think I’ve been watching you for over 10 years. You introduced me to Megaman and all of these let’s plays left a huge mark on my life. Thank you to all these amazing years Clement!
It's so nice to see Clement's newer content thriving after this
Clement, thanks for all the Let's Plays. I've tuned in when I first discovered your MegaMan 10 let's plays back in 2013, and I've been watching them ever since.
It doesn't help that youtube's format has pretty much alienated the very thing that made it popular. Sure, maybe it's not all attributed to the algorithm but its a major obstacle that has caused a major roadblock. If you're not late-night tv or putting mentos in your coke, the algorithm just doesn't favour you. I've been seeing it happen to all varieties of channels such as music, art, gaming etc. Watching your rumble Roses playthrough and the very little views it got showed me that the "let's play" formula is no longer going to be able to work in the battlefield of this new youtube compared to the previous area. Even Brainscratchcomms seems to be having this problem. Needless to say, I started with your sonic and I'll always continue to watch your content even if I rarely comment.
It's really upsetting, I like his format and it's easier to find individual episodes on his channel but the algorithm really doesn't push those out on my sub feed so it feels like he's taken a break until something like this video shows up
@@ariesstar162 I know the feeling. I don't see his videos instantly so I'm surprised when I found out he uploaded a video ages ago upon first viewing. Even worse when my notifications system is all messed up (the bell system is completely broken for me).
I agree. KZhead is more in favor of being trendy. (Your CoDs and Fortnites and whatever have you.) More obscure games or some indie titles are hidden pretty deep.
I've been on KZhead for 15 years now, so I can safely say this: KZhead went downhill the second it became a career option. You do it primarily for money, the passion for each video is gonna suffer.
Fucking this, past the 3rd episode of steambot, i legitimately never saw a new one pop up in my feed. Its a shame that this is how the site functions, where subs arent actualy subs and you have a chance of it even apearing in the first place
Im so thankful for the memories ive created with your sonic lets plays, may you enjoy whats next clement.
Honestly, the "Let's play" format was dwindling since livestreams began to become a thing, people are no longer intetested in pre-recorded commentated playthrough, they want to see these players playing games LIVE. I'm glad you are going to pursue the content you want to do, that's the only way I can see people being happy on YT since the monetizing conditions for new channels are a thorn.
Well that, and Let's Plays are often times a rush to put gameplay vids for newer games, which can lead to content burnout. That and older games, unless they're pop culture juggernauts like RE4, tend to be cast aside in terms of viewership. I mean my Final Fantasy 1 NES let's play is a sign of that... I've all but abandoned it, though college has had some part to play in that.
You mean kids want to watch it live. As for me someone who is already in his mid 20's i cant imagine watching some guy every day live for 10 hours reading all his donations etc. Its just a masive waste of time no matter how much i like the person doing it.
@@HandheldGamer1991 Sounds like you've never actually watched a gameplay stream...
@@HandheldGamer1991 that's kind of my thing. I'll watch a full lets play, but don't really like watching streams. I'll sometimes watch a recording of a stream, but at least with that I can pause or fast forward. I don't have to watch for 8 hours straight.
I like Blind, pre-recorded LPs so I don't have to deal with the Streamer distracted by the "chat".
This got heavy, but I'm glad you're choosing a path you're passionate about.
I'm sorry to hear that your creative outlet has been so painful for you recently, and I'm glad you are taking a step towards reclaiming your joy. Your LPs were always the gold standard for me, and I learned so much about classic platformers I loved or never got to play: Banjo-Kazooie, Luigi's Mansion, Goemon, Castlevania 4, and of course the two blue boys too! Your playthrough of the Mega Man Zero series will always have a special place in my heart, and you really inspired me to tackle harder games like them. Thank you for your hard work, Clement - I hope your new projects succeed, and wish you all the best!
It's been a blast, Clement. Thanks for all the memories you've provided over the years. I discovered you through your LPs of the Sonic Game Gear games as you were the only one who seemed to have uploaded full playthroughs of them at the time. I came for the gameplay footage, stayed for your great commentary and charisma, and have been following you since. And I will continue to do so as your video essays are fantastic and the natural step forward.
(after the video) Eggman Plushie: "So that's it then? The Let's Play ends just like that because of a burnout. Son of a bitch! I was looking forward to the 30th anniversary Sonic game playthrough. Well, we would be getting it if it wasn't for this stupid coronavirus. Oh well, until we meet again!" But jokes aside, thank you for nearly two decades worth of gaming content, Great Clement. You earn yourself a big break. I'm looking forward towards the future.
Been with ya since '08, dude. Do what ya gotta do and I'll be with ya more! You are THE great Clement. I can hear the passion and since this is a bit of an oversaturated market, it's hard to stand out. But, ya always entertained and brought awesome insight to everything you've done. Keep being great and enjoy this freedom!
I'll miss the Let's Play arc, but I'm looking forward to the near future.
Hi Clement. I loved watching your videos and I still do. As someome who also recently rediscovered himself know that you have my utmost support. Thanks for everything you've done, everything you're doing now, and everything you will do from now on.
You were always my favorite KZheadr Clement. Literally grew up watching you and now I'm past the age you were when you started (not to make you feel old lol). Your lets plays were always a great source of entertainment throughout all the ups and downs of my life, and have even inspired me to try video making myself (which I still plan to fully do someday). It's a sad that your lets plays are over but I want you to know that I appreciate the 13+ years of content and I look forward to whatever the future has to bring us
It's a soft shame that you're ending this. I came from Megaman and Sonic, stayed for your humor. I'm happy to see you decided on what you did. See you next time Clement. Toodles!
It’s a shame to see the end of these but I understand, and I hope your next step goes well, but I really hope you don’t delete your old let’s plays, I love them. I always thought steambot looked really cool but I didn’t start it since I’m very ADHD and I need to be in the right mindset before I get started watching something. *EDIT:* Oh good, you said you will keep the old videos, I’m glad.
Clement I’ve been watching your Let’s Plays since I was in middle school and now I’m a freaking Junior in college. Yes I admit Sonic and Megaman were my favorite LPs of yours and the things that made me stick around but I also loved the occasional Let’s look videos you did of certain games. I’m happy to see you still have that passion to create content when so many I used to watch have all but disappeared from the internet. Wishing you the best man and I’ll be on The Great Clement train for as long as it goes.
Every since I discovered your channel, not only did I religiously watch every single LP that cam out, I went through your backlog and watched nearly every single of your previous LPs! Sorry your hard work didn't get you the result you wanted, but just know your videos were appreciated and brightened my days.
Sad to see let’s plays go. They helped me a lot during some hard times back in college. I remember even messaging you here on KZhead (back when that was a thing) to thank you for the content and you responded and I was so stoked that you had actually read my message that I ran to my girlfriend at the time to tell her. I’ve watched your Banjo-Kazooie videos more than I can count, and I will continue doing so! Glad you’re leaning towards content you want to make, and I’m excited to see what’s to come.
I respect your decision man. There comes a time when we must say goodbye or move on from things and no matter what happens, I wish you well!
Thanks for the letsplays, cant wait for video esseys, im sure those are going to be amazing.
Your let's plays have been apart my life from middle school till now. Thank you for all your hard work, getting me into sonic and megaman, and being a great content creator.
I honestly don't think it's because of you. The problem probably lies with two things: 1) Bigger franchises just get bigger viewcounts. It's sadly how it is. It's the thing that really annoys me as well because I've been following a youtuber called totally not mark, and he's been reviewing Berserk, my absolute favorite Manga. And that stuff barely gets over 100k most of the time while all his other stuff like One Piece and Dragonball gets 300k AT LEAST. It's annoying, but sadly it cannot be really changed. 2) Let's plays like yours really aren't a thing anymore. And normally, you would think that makes you unique and gives you something to stand out, but that's not how youtube works. Only the popular thing gets the views. The quality of your let's plays has always been high specifically because of your knowledge and your sense of humor. However, most people wanting to see let's plays nowadays just want some random people playing it "live" while making jokes. I also just think most people don't have the attention to sit through a let's play like that. They always want highlights, which is why the whole game reviewer thing takes off so much. With your FF retrospective, you went roughly the same route, and it shows in the numbers. Either way, I am hyped to see more of your future videos. Goodbye, Let's Plays. Keep pushing forward, Clement.
Also i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of his subscribers are dead accounts (he did brought up in this video) since he's been making videos since 2008. I have noticed this in several channels i'm subscribed to, a big discrepancy between subscribers and the views the videos get. SomecallmeJohnny also kind of gets this, with him having 400k subcribers and yet his videos don't get half of that unless it's Sonic (and even his recent Sonic videos don't have 400k views).
@@okagron I myself just don't have the time I used to. That and not finding a good place to start with Steambot.
2) really hurts but is true. There's basically Chuggaconroy and a few other people w/ 500+ subs that can be counted . But everyone else moved on to streaming, and I can't blame them. Less scripting, more audience interaction (for better or worse), donations, and an extra youtube kickback simply involves a highlights reel or some slight editing down. The game's changed.
@@okagron Yes, and no. Yes, to some extent many people who sub never unsub themselves. there may be people who haven't clicked on Clement's video in a decade but are subbed because they can't be bothered to unsub. But Google does occasionally do a small purge of removing spam or automatically unsubbing super inactive accounts. And I think there was a huge, global subscriber dip some years back. So there's less "dead" accounts than you think, but still many ones who may not even remmber they subbed to Clement.
It's also just market saturation, there's so much content I want to consume being produced every day and not enough time to get through it so a lot of other channels I'm subscribed too just get kinda buried and it's not because I don't wanna watch them it's just that there's too much to get through.
Gonna be real with you, Clement. I didn't come here to watch your Megaman content or whatever was demanded of you. I learned of you from collaborations you made with content creators I had watched at the time and I found your personality and commentary incredibly amusing. Your earnest endearment to playing oldschool games or just games your passionate with were such a huge appeal. You are genuinely a fascinating and entertaining person, however as much of a pleasure it is to watch you on screen and talk about stuff... I feel overwhelemed having to keep up with Let's Plays that span over 20-30 minutes or 40+ parts. I've stopped watching Let's Plays in general as growing up I found that you don't quite have the free time on my hands that I used to have. There are so many things I'd like to get to than to set myself to watch something that would eventually feel like an obligation. I've felt the same way with other Let's Play channels I adore to watch and it sucks I can't give them the attention I once used to. However your videos about "Clement Remembers" were a stroke of genius as not only could you go in depth about the game and the wonderful experiences you had with them, it felt like something that was friendly and approachable to consume with my time. It gave me a feeling that I could be done with the video and feel satisfied without having that feeling of leaving something unfinished. I feel as a content creator, you have the potential to become a grand entertainer. Your mix of informative and passionate commentary is incredibly appealing. I just feel you need to find a formula in which you can use this trait in an effective manner in which people would be able to enjoy in bite sized, consumable spurts. It's a bit of a meme response, but... "20-30 videos that are 20-40 parts? Nuh-uh. A 1-2 hour video/podcast about one particular game/topic? I got time." Don't ever doubt yourself as a person as you are not a failure or anything the like. I hope to see you continue to grow both as a prosperous content creator, and most importantly, a person. I look forward to seeing more of the content you create, but please also give yourself the time of day to have a life you can enjoy with friends and family as well!
I love this comment because it's true. Getting older and having other priorities changes things. You don't stop loving things but you do have to choose what to do with your time. I actually think the scripted content will be better for people like me, that want to see what you have to say but don't have 20 hours to consume it all.
This is relatable, beautifully said couldnt agree more!
Will never forget the first time I came across you and your Let's Plays. I managed to catch up with basically every single one, they were that good in my eyes. Your personality always gave them a certain charm that made me keep watching even with the older videos. Seeing you upload new videos after that was also always a treat. Will never forget the great times, Clement! You're a legend, and I salute you for staying true to yourself. I wish you nothing good luck and happiness in your future endeavours and activities. Have a good one!
you were the first person who got me into watching let's plays and you tube as a whole, thank you for so many memorable years and good luck on any other contents you work on
As long as we're still getting Clement, I'm happy. And if Clement is happy, even better. I did discover your channel for MegaMan content, and your let's plays are really some of the most well produce LP on KZhead, but that was years ago, and KZhead has really changed. There is just so much stuff now. Watching someone, even a creator you like, play some game you don't especially care for? "I might get to it later", and then the episodes start to add up and it turns into a bigger time investment, "I'll just wait for the next let's play". Not only are your scripted videos usually of higher quality, but they are just much more digestible; Even the really long ones, like the Sonic 06 review, which is easily my favorite, is easier to pick up and get in to. I still think it would be cool for you to cover obscure games, but maybe in a shorter format? I rarely comment, kinda hard to in a second language, but this is the type of video that feels more important to give feedback to. Big decisions are pretty hard, but I think this should be a fun hobby, rather than something that can weight on you, so I think this is also a smart change to make. Looking forward to future videos.
I will miss your let’s plays but I get why your quitting let’s plays I will still stick around for your future content exited to see your new content my man your funny and cool and entertaining as hell my man keep your head up my man also my first let’s play I watch was the mega man legends series and the og mega man and the x series you actually helped me beat the legends series
Good luck with the future of the channel! I still go back to some of your old Sonic let's plays! It's just so chilling to watch, I love watching it sometimes as background company when I'm working out late or dining at home.
Been a fan for so many years and I’m happy you’re following the path you want! Thank you for all the memories and I look forward to your future content! 😁
It's been a super crazy, wild and awesome ride. Thank you so much for ALL of your let's plays, Clement! Looking forward to what the future holds for you and your channel!
Guts' Theme immediately hit my mind when I got the notification
Hey there Clement, for the most part of my childchood, i was always watching your Megaman and Sonic playthroughs and it's been a blast watching you. From there on, i've branched out to other "obscure" let's play of yours and i loved every seconds of it. So what i'm trying to say is that i still support you and i'm looking forward to your new videos. Thank you so much for everything, the great Clement.
I only learned about your content last year via a tweet Derrick made but I'm glad I clicked on that link. Your content helped me get through those tough early days of the pandemic through your Final Fantasy Retrospectives and your Let's Plays from last year. While I'll miss the LPs you should do what makes you happy. And I still have your past LPs that I can watch as well.
End of an era here. I watched everything you put out, loved your content. Just your personality kept me coming back always, no matter the game here. Thank you for the many hours of entertainment. Thank you for everything. I played a bunch of games I never would have without you. Thank you for all the LPs over the many years! I here for you no matter what the game was! 👑
My heart is beating so fast, oh Lord.
I'm grateful for all the great videos you've put out. The Mega Man X6 rantfest, the Sonic 06 videos, I got to know Brainscratchcomms thanks to you, and a whole lot more, and became comfortable speaking English. Watching your content has had a lot to do with that.
Well clement i did start watching you because of sonic when I was just getting Into highschool and I'm 26 and can say I've watched just about every let's play you've made from that point onwards. Always looked forward to your content and even tho the let's plays are done i look forward to you enjoying KZhead again and seeing what else you got for us. Personally really like the direction your goin. Keep it up fam appreciate you
Its incredibly fitting that i did my first job interview yesterday after i’ve been watching you for years since i was a kid. I’m entering a new era and phase of my life when you’re moving onto a new one. You were my first favorite youtuber, thank you for all the memories ✌🏾
Clement, thank you so much. You got me into Let's Plays and eventually got me to make my own. I wouldn't be who I am without you. Excited for more scripted content however as your FF retrospective has bee wonderful!
Clement, thank you for all the memories. Your let's plays brought a lot of joy to me when I was younger and even as I got older I continued revisit some of your past let's plays. It's good to know that you are making the choice that will bring the most joy to you and that will make your content better because you are actually passionate about the choice you are making. It's sad to know that another let's player I grew up watching is leaving the let's play genre, but I'm happy you are pursuing something that will make you happy. Best of luck with your future projects.
I have always appreciated your review-style videos, because I like what you have to say and what you want to share. While leaving the let's play format behind may be bittersweet because of the nostalgic weight it held, I believe this new direction is for the better. Here's to the future.
Glad to see you follow your passions!
Honestly, I'd been noticing a decline of views that most of my favorite content creators has been suffering through... BSC, you, SGB, Runaway Guys, and etc It's been depressing because you guys upload nonstop for the last 11 Years and have a large subscriber base.. I love you though Clement!
I think Let's Plays as a video genre have kinda died off, people just don't want to sit through a 20-50 part video series anymore I've got 130 parts of Chugga's Xenoblade Chronicles 2 LP to watch and I just can't find time to watch all that content
@@IronBahamut That's pretty true, I'd been meaning to check out Chugga's Xenoblade 2 LP... But I don't have the will power to watch it entirely until it's fully completed.
people dont have patience for 30 parts when twitch gives out hours and hours of trash. Twitch is almost like cable for kids. never ending hours and hours of garb
@@Dashx64 I'd always prefer LPs over Live Streams anyway.... Unless you're SomecallmeJohnny and his amazing charity streams or his SAGE/SHC showcases.
I've always like 10 to 40 minute videos about a certain part of the game as supposed to a live stream of a game... Now if the stream of a game is something that can be beaten in like 2 hrs I wouldn't mind. But sometimes I find 8 hours streams I can't reasonably watch all in one sitting. I keep up with LPs better.
watched you about 3 years ago now when I found your magnificent let's play of both megaman legends,only subscribed to help you out and cause I loved those 2 playthroughs and haven't watched you in a bit I just want to say here's to your future man!,thanks for all your retro let's plays :)
I first found you because I wanted to watch some Megaman Zero Let's Plays on KZhead. And yours was the easily the best, well-informed, and entertaining Let's Play I have ever watched. Especially the custom voice acting for Zero during the series. Then I started watching your Megaman Legends videos because those were my childhood games that I had forgotten about. I became your subscriber because you were hitting all the right note on all the nostalgia I had with the older games you featured on your channel. So in a way, it was really your personality and dedication to your Let's Plays that made me stuck around. And whatever new projects you are going forward with, I will be watching too. Your channel is a unique place to listen and watch from. I am excited for your new videos, can't wait!
Let's plays have officially reached the end. It's always a shame to see something enjoyable go but as all good things, it had to come to an end. Thank you for all the years of content regarding let's plays Clement. I will look forward to the kind of content you're comfortable with making and enjoy it all the same.
That title was a shock if I’ve ever seen one. But honestly, hearing your reasons it makes a lot of sense. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us from beyond this point.
damn just saw this now. You were one of my favorite channels from age 10 or 11 or so and I am 18 now. You along with Cobi and Johnny fueled my insane sonic addiction back then. Love you and hope you do well on future endeavors!
Thank you so much for all of the LP's Clement!! Your LP's were definitely the gem in this genre. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them that I got to watch. Your commentary was phenomenal and I still remember the Super Meat Boy St Patrick's Day LP!! I haven't been able to watch like I could a few years back. I think that the Sonic Lost World LP was the last one that I was able to watch. I definitely plan to go back and watch all of your LP's after Lost World very soon. Godspeed and thanks again!!
It's certainly an end of an era. I'm willing to watch and support what other projects you do! I've been here since close to the beginning and I'm still here to stay
I am sorry to see you being done with Let's Play's though I will admit as a fan I had been too busy to really watch daily and keep up. I normally just watch Let's Play series when they are done so I can binge while working, which... Is detrimental to the LPer. But I hope to see what happens next with this channel!
100% ive only seen your steambot lets play once in 2 months. Ive loved your content from duck tails, to sonic to Mr mosquito. Your FF content has been wonderful. Thankyou for being a great creator that gave me joy at a dark time in my life. Thankyou clement. You make us happy!
Ah so many memories! Thanks a lot Clement! Hard to believe I was still in elementary school or A freshman in high school when I started watching in 2012. We’ve all come a long way
Sad to hear you're leaving LPs, your channel has inspired me over the years and been a source of great entertainment and comfort. I love that you play games you enjoy that are hidden gems,, that you aren't heavily focused on advertising and have never had a sponsor,, and that you enjoy what you do. Also love Tales of Symphonia! I hope you have fun with your more scripted content and video essays. I feel like, recently, I just haven't had time to watch let's plays. Life's changed a lot since I graduated high school in 2008! I'm less focused on watching other people's KZhead content and more focused on making career choices, creative decisions, working, learning to navigate mental health issues in a healthy way, and finishing my bachelors degree.. Wishing you all the best. It's been a great time. Would love to see more skits and vlogs too.
Clement, I know you posted this eight months ago but I just wanted to tell you how much of a fan ive been throughout your run. you got me into megaman when I found you first uploading your mm2 letsplay. I watched the entire sonic chronicles, I even remember that little skit you put out with your friend where you “adopt” them. you are one of a kind, you are what was right about KZhead back in the day. ive been watching you since I was 9 years old, and im 21 now. You were quite formative to my childhood, and I cant thank you enough for that. As the years went on, Id always check in on your channel to see what was up, hoping in the back of my head youd release a megaman game (I freaked when you finally did zx:advent because it was one of my favorites) but instead noticing you putting in consistent, dilligent work no matter what. you deserve to enjoy yourself in whatever you do. I just want you to know I admire and appreciate you greatly clement. you helped form my tastes and opinions on the internet all the way back then in 2008. Just keep being you man, im so happy to even see you still posting.
I’ve watched you for years and it’s sad to see the end of your let’s plays there’s been times where I would just binge and smile because your videos are some of the most entertaining for me and I wish the best for you and hope you have an amazing future ❤️ I’ve always got great laughs from you even during my darkest times and I’ll always be here no matter what you decide to do.
Yours was the second LP channel I'd found on this site, back in the days of yore so long ago when recommendations weren't the eyebrows-in-orbit mess they are now. I forgot who I found first, but through them I found you, through you I found BSC, the list goes on. The magic was bound to end eventually but man is it gonna hurt the nostalgia.
You've always made the best let's plays imo, and we all appreciate the amount of effort you put into them, it always showed. But I'm looking forward to the future of the channel and wish you the best :)
Kinda wild that one of the letsplayers i started with isnt going to be doing lets plays anymore. But good on you dude, you're doing something that makes you happy. Keep being you, Clement.
I just want to say this is very exciting. Change is always scary but it is beneficial. Thank you for doing Let's plays for so long and am excited to see the change!
As a long time Great Clement watcher I'm glad you bounced back man, I watch all your videos and you helped me escape a lot of my dark times back in my life where I myself have failed or had something shitty happen to me. You aren't alone Clement I'll always cherish your videos and what they did for me it took a lot of thought to express myself but your content has always had a place in my life from when I was in highschool to me as an adult. I"m really looking forward to your future content and hope that passion of yours never falters buddy
I’m ready for this man you have so much left to share and that’s abundantly clear. Can’t wait for the future :D
I wouldn’t mind if you would do podcasts where you’re interacting with your audience. My first let’s play was Knuckles Chaotix. I was here for the start of the 3D Sonic let’s plays and beyond. Can’t wait to see the future of the GREATEST EGGMAN EMPIRE MEMBER, THE GREAT CLEMENT!
It's definitely sad to see you go from LPs and oddly enough KZhead really didn't notify me at all of any new uploads from you until this one showed up on my feed. I actually discovered you from BrainScratch and followed you for your Megaman LPs. Each playthrough was always such a joy, especially when during those times I struggled to play most of them and your videos always helped me discover new things about the franchise. I rarely comment ever but I feel like now would be the best time, while it's sad to see you go from LPs I'm more than glad you're continuing to do something you're passionate about. I wish you the best of luck with this new direction and I look forward to revisiting the things I missed and future videos from you! Thanks for all the amazing let's play memories Clement!
You made a lot of my early internet experiences with your sonic lps back in 2012 and I’ll always respect you as the content creator who made me truly love video games for more than a hobby, but an experience. Your amount of lp’s have truly left you a legacy.
Jesus Christ, I clicked on this so fast...
As someone who has also made content on KZhead, this is extremely relatable. I have over 600 subscribers on my channel, yet despite that, most of the content I produced had been ignored, even when I attempted to improve it and promote it on my social media. It's either KZhead's algorithm or my subscribers choosing not to click on them. But you're one of the few youtubers who had inspired me to do KZhead and your Let's Plays on the Sonic and Mega Man games were really fun and entertaining to watch. I'm a little sad that you're ending playthroughs but I understand you want to do what's rightfully best. Good luck on your future scripted content, man! 😁👍
Thank you Clement, you have given hours upon hours (actual days) of pure entertainment. You have inspired so many people to play new, obscure games, shown your perspective on more well known games and made people laugh. Thank you for the let’s plays.
I remember watching your megaman series play through and learning the patents in 2010! Thanks for the great memories!
Personally, I haven't been actively following any LPs or commentaries in a while, but I do go back and watch completed playlists after they're done. As long as you're moving on to something you love, I say go for it.
That's what I do I wait to the playthrough is finished then I save it then I save the Playlist Even if it even if it's a person I sub too I wait to the is finished
May You have a good future. Been here since Sonic Unleashed
I remember listening when you hinted at it in the steambot chronicles play through but I still didn’t believe it. Your let’s plays have gotten me through some tough times. Hard nights in college, sick weeks in high school, and I’d even plug in my earphones and listen on bus rides to middle school. When you said you’ve been uploading since Bush was president it really hit me. Thank you so much for all the memories and your core fans will still continue to support the channel for sure.
Thank you for everything Clement! Your lets plays for Megaman and Sonic are the reason I was able to complete those games growing up. Thank you.
Honestly. I've had a few moments the last few years where I've thought the thought "Oh shoot I should watch some Clement, he's got all these new letsplays. These games look super quirky, and I really miss that dude's commentary." Back in the day I loved your videos because of your take on the format. You and Chugga were the two kings of the hill for me, and it was a treat every time you uploaded. I even drew you fanart back in the day (it meant the world when you thanked me for it), but I don't have that middle school internet kid time anymore. Work, and the ever restricting social calendar just don't lend me the time to catch up on multiple 30 minute episodes a week, and once I'm behind, the que just keeps getting longer. A whole let's play can be the equivalent of two Seasons of TV, and I can't even seem to find the time for the shows my friends want me to watch. About your audience, I would disagree with you directly. You did find an audience that was there for you, but the format of your content didn't grow with us. I think the format change is going to really help. I'm honestly jazzed to hear that you're going to be making more digestible videos. I think the great performance of your FF videos is proof that we're here and waiting for you Clement, so take your time, but also you can't get these new videos to us fast enough!
Your lp’s have been a part of my life since I was still in grade school. It’s the end of an era- but I’m sure the future will be even brighter
Clement I subbed to you in the Sonic and megaman let's plays but as I grew up and had less free time I was unable to watch as much. But then you started the FF remember series. And it was amazing. Nice long videos I could watch rather then 40 parts I could never hope to watch. It amazing and I look forward to your content in the future!
Im so happy for you, you've been making LPs since i started watching you in 6th grade. Im about to graduate college now. I binged a whole summer in middle school catching up with your sonic and mega man LPs. And enjoyed every second. Not only did you have such a clean cut way talking about the game and truly showing everything it has to offer but you were also such a great commentator to do it to. The unfiltered nerd that knows evrything about the games he loves. And for that i'll always have respect for you. You introduced me to some obscure gems too like Fear Effect, Conkers Bad Fur Day, and many others. you would just put so much work into the video to make sure the viewer got everything is to get out of the game. And your determination to finish what you started. The dedication you had for the sonic retrospective is unparalleled . And hey now you got an archive of every sonic to date on your channel. That shits worth more then a purple heart. I figured you musta been getting burnt out through the end, after all you started in the LP era and kept the train going for over a decade. You stuck to what you know and loved. No weird shit but i feel like i got a little of how i am from you. You kinda parented me ngl, take it as you will. Anyways i just wanna say im excited for you to be spanning out of LPs and if you do truly take the route of video essays i will be SURE to tune in. Thats something i feel you can just nail. When you know a game you KNOW a game. This has gotten long you just are a big part of my life even if i didnt have as much time to watch your LPS as i did previously. I would always come back when i could. So on that note, Im ready for your transformation Clement Also upset you removed your drunk super meat boy playthrough. Just thought about it, couldnt find it.
Personally, I really love your Final Fantasy retrospectives. You have a very good cadence for storytelling and scripting. I’d love to see more videos like those :)
You shall be missed and thanks for the memories!!!😭 Have you ever thought of doing Voice Acting for future projects or collaboration or anything else In mind?
You have no idea how excited I'll be for the Tales of Symphonia video. I've always loved your stuff, Clement, and I can't wait for more! :)
I am SUPER excited for your Look Ats and reviews. I originally subscribed because of your Sonic 06 review, there's a super cut that combined all your parts into one, I LOVE that video. And I'm super excited for what's to come!
