One of the let's play youtubers I watched back in the day was chuggaaconroy, who has been doing it for just about 15 years or something. What made his playthroughs interesting was that it wasn't a first playthrough and more an in depth walkthrough showing everything a game has to offer. His playthroughs introduced me to older games such as mario sunshine, pokemon crystal, and pokemon platinum. He finished his Pokemon Black and White 2 last month, and he usually goes on long breaks between let's plays to prepare notes for the next series, though recent events makes it so it'll likely be longer for his return, if at all
The thing I loved about lets plays was always just, seeing other people experience some of my own favorite games, or as a way to learn more about a game before playing it myself. These days, people looking for the let's play experience, find it with the rise of live streams, which often spawn their own let's plays out of the stream's highlights anyways, making purely recorded gameplay much more niche
Zackscott was the first ever RUclipsr I watched back then. Even though he's not as popular as other childhood RUclipsrs, like Stampy and DanTDM, he will always have a special place in my heart. Also yes, Zack wasn't always a family friendly channel. He curses when he plays video games not suited for young audiences.
PopularMMOs and GamingWithJen were my everything. Really the only RUclipsrs I watched in general at the time. I remember watching everything unfold. Elementary and Middle school me would have never expected such awesome and wholesome channels to end like it did.
I go back and watch a ton of these let’s plays and I love seeing them again. I always think I’m not that old but then I realize this is what I grew up with and I feel old
I think the last let's player I watched when I was a kid that still did let's plays to this day was Chuggaaconroy, which sadly will not exist for the foreseeable future
It's so sad man. He had it all and he just threw it all away. Even if he were to come back, his legacy is ruined.. I hope he finds the help he needs and becomes a better person.
I definitely would prefer a 2-3 hour long video that covers a whole game, a supercut if you will, which I think originated or became popular because of the 100 day stuff, platinums and challenge have also become popular, and these are all thing I would prefer to watch to a play through
So, I actually started watching RUclips Let's Plays following NateWantsToBattle doing a collab with Shady, and I quickly found my way to your channel. Been watching since the release of X and Y. I'm a little sad that you don't do them anymore, but I've always felt it was more important for creators to follow their passion to the next project than just continuing to do the same thing.
I still watch Game Grumps too. I also still watch ProJared, and he's had some really good and unique playthroughs recently. Guys like MandJTV and PM7 aren't full-time let's players, but I still enjoy watching them play through Pokemon games as well. There are some smaller ones too, but those are the main ones I watch. And I do enjoy a lot of the "then we fight" videos from you and your friends as well. 😄
Glad to see another video from my favorite reaction RUclipsr Patterz. Only a minute into the video and already commenting on his video so he can get more views.
Used to be the BIGGEST Jacksepticeye fan. Still love watching the videos but he was kind of my childhood. One of the few bits I still remember is watching the happy wheels series and silently yelling along with him in the intro I feel like I’m watching every RUclips-based memory slowly drift away as it all turns into political channels or what RUclips kids was supposed to be But we can’t go back.
manlybadasshero is about the only lets player I watch right now. Nice voice and niche games. Really chill on a lonely Friday night when he has a horror game playthrough
I still regularly watch a few let's players. Manlybadasshero will play some shlocky or short horror-type games made by small groups or from game jams. Mr Falcon will play more variety like meme games or little indie games you never heard of or even hentai games but with the hentai cut out. The new type of Let's play are stream let's plays so people can interact with the player OR the streamer will just upload their streams. I occasionally watch some steamers who start playing a game I've played before just to see how a new player goes about learning how to play.
I watched Game Grumps, KYRSpeedy, Chuggaconroy and Marrilland’s Let’s Plays growing up. I can’t remember any other channel I grew up with, now that my subscriptions have shifted dramatically to new content over the past few years and a few old creators I’ve unfollowed because I just don’t watch them anymore. These are the only four I can remember.
I grew up with Let's Plays and am still a Let's Play enjoyer. Back in the day I used to watch youtubers like SuperSkarmory and MunchingOrange. I used to find no commentary let's plays so I could experience new games and watch those like TV series. I still watch the "shorter" (they're still like an hour or 2 per episodes) let's plays and find LPs of new games, not a huge fan of the new format of just reuploading 6 hour stream vods as LP episodes, I aint got time to sit through that shit
LPs are kind of background noise for me. I let them play while I do some gaming myself or just something else. So in that way, it's sad that there's less LPs.
Never would I thought a much recent reaction channel that I sometimes watch would react to a video I already watched 3 times from a rather underrated and less problematic ytuber yo
The earliest RUclipsr I remember watching was Dobbs and Emperor Cubone, and I'm honestly not even sure if I'd ever actually watched Letsplayers when that was the meta
I would say Chuggaacontroy is probably the best Let's Play channel (yes I know what he did but his channel and what has done on his channel is still amazing), there are still few LP channels I follow like KoopaKungFu and Tom Fawkes (Kind of LP and not the same time)
Fuck, why does it feel like so many of the old gaming youtubers turn out to do some really creepy shit to other people? Hadn't heard about the incident with Chuggaaconroy and haven't watched his videos since like 2017, but he used to be my favourite because of the quality and effort he put into his videos, really felt like you got to know every nook and cranny of the game.
@@Peldms63 I ofc don't condone it but it was also back in the old times where you could say anything. I've also read the thing and the person was more going into Chugga than anything as well. Then there is the timing, not able to doublicate the document. Then there is bad personal space which is something I know Masea has shown in streams "Calm it down" to him. Lastly the first person, that one I can see as well due to Masea as well. End of the day Chugga is taking a break, taking accountability and hopefully be a better person. Only time will really tell as he is getting help as well.
Personally, I still watch a lot of Let's Players. I didn't watch anyone that was mentioned here, 'cause they tended to be too loud, too hyper, and or just not my type of comedy/humor. I do still watch GameGrumps, Lucahjin, and PeanutButterGamer (whenever he'll do a stream of a game, if that), as well as others like AlphaRad, Omni, Scrags, Deebeegeek, StrayFae, Shenpai, to name a few.
15:40 I know this was meant to be a joke but it actually meant a lot to me as I recently came to that conclusion after watching older videos from youtubers I used to love and realizing that those old videos weren’t entertaining to me either anymore and it wasn’t just their new stuff, so reluctantly I spent the next several hours going through my sub box and unsubbing from all the channels I hadn’t enjoyed a video from in over 2 years
yeah, I've unsubbed from a fair share of youtubers, but whenever I hear them mentioned again I still think back fondly on the time spent watching their videos
This video brought me back when the world wasn't a complete shit show...DanTDM,Blitzwinger,Zackscott, VanossGaming,PopularMMOS,Cobanermani456,Sullypwnz, etc they were absolutely goated and they always be
i wanted to be a let's player, i had problems with recording softwere so it didn't pan out, now days i'm not the right person nor geograthical location to do let's plays
22:14 this sentence angered me so much ive decided to make a comment so i can continuously play it like multiple perspective shots of a car crash no no 22:16 specifically the rubber ross part do NOT say this ever again
Let's Plays dying just sounds idiotic to me. There's people that still do them so obviously they're not "dead". Hell, i streamed doing multiple ones this last year. This whole mentality of "doing Let's Plays to make money" was always just bizarre to me. It's youtube. Ya make videos to have fun. For my Let's Players i always liked Cloud8745, Romscout, Cypheron48, Skullkid3, Retsupurae, SonikDude101, Team Canada for Mindcrack, and probably a few others, but started getting annoyed once Pewdiepie came in and started screaming at everything. Never watched Markipliar beyond a few videos cause he seemed kinda dull and GameGrumps kinda turned me off cause they'd always ramble about stuff that has nothing to do with anything. There's not nearly as many good Let's Players these days to me as there used to be, but i would say a pretty great one in modern times is Ris Grestar (though I'd say some of my favorite Lets Plays ever are DocFuture's Sonic 2 Special Edition Let's Play and Cypheron48's Banjo-Tooie Lets Play).
There's quite a few LPers I still follow that I used to like back then. Channels like NicoB, chuggaaconroy, theradbrad which this video showed, but some I stopped watching for one reason or another, like tmartin (dunno how to spell it), there was this ninja mark or whatever the hell the name is, I don't remember, and one I have never seen anyone else talk about, way back in 2012, Albert Minestein. Side note, if anyone still remembers Albert Minestein, please let me know, I've scoured the internet and couldn't find anyone talk about him, and I'm starting to think I just made him up.
I still follow decent amount of pure Letplayers like hellfirecomms and lucahjin, SGBlikestoplay etc but a lot of full on game LPs have transitioned into livestreams now. There are someone like NIcoB who does hyper edited full playthroughs. Chuggaa was the one big Lper who just kept doing traditional style LPs and managed to make a living without any other revenue stream. Well not anymore now.

I remember how ranchy his older videos use to be lmao
DanTDM was my favorite Lets Player back when I was a kid his videos were funny and his older videos aged like wine.
SAAAAAAAME! nothing better than chilling out on a rainy day and watching a minecraft mod review
@@monkeewe9263 I just started binge watching some of the 2014-15-16 era of Dan that was when I started watching him man i feel so old.

Yeah, it's sad that PopularMMOs and GamingWitgJen channel ended because they're my childhood
This reminds me of one of my childhood RUclipsrs, TheWaffleGalaxy, the nostalgia I get rewatching his old series is too much
I go back and watch a ton of these let’s plays and I love seeing them again. I always think I’m not that old but then I realize this is what I grew up with and I feel old

2nd time asking patterrz to react to “the hopeless reality of one”
The fact this died, the best thing on YT, is why YT is undeniable cancer.
I definitely would prefer a 2-3 hour long video that covers a whole game, a supercut if you will, which I think originated or became popular because of the 100 day stuff, platinums and challenge have also become popular, and these are all thing I would prefer to watch to a play through
Zackscottgames was probably the first youtuber I ever watched I get MAD nostalgia from him
Thank you for not making refrences to rule 34 every 5 seconds like Nux taku

But we can’t go back.
I used to love Captain sauce but he went completely dark from uploading weekly to monthly and now has a full beard
Dude, I’ve been watching your channel since the early days. I do miss LP’s, livestreams aren’t the same.
He ain't ready for Chazington. No one is.
Only let's play youtubers that are still going strong that I can think of is Markipler and Jacksepticeye.
manlybadasshero is about the only lets player I watch right now. Nice voice and niche games. Really chill on a lonely Friday night when he has a horror game playthrough
Lets plays might be dead but Dads bein Dudes is my favorite thing I’ve watched this year and I can’t wait for more :)
Lame
My favourite letsplayer was a romanian guy called "maxinfinite", he used to play so many fun games but now he just makes content for little kids.
Dantdm was my childhood who else had that experience?
holy the nostalgia trip i got from just hearing some of these names
I love Chazington so much
I still regularly watch a few let's players. Manlybadasshero will play some shlocky or short horror-type games made by small groups or from game jams. Mr Falcon will play more variety like meme games or little indie games you never heard of or even hentai games but with the hentai cut out.

Hermitcraft: let us introduce ourselves
I get why you're not doing them anymore, but honestly your LPs were the best. I was hooked on them since Emerald Randomizer
So much Patterrz lore this video
CRAZY GOOD STAMPY IMPRESSION
LPs are kind of background noise for me. I let them play while I do some gaming myself or just something else. So in that way, it's sad that there's less LPs.
Never would I thought a much recent reaction channel that I sometimes watch would react to a video I already watched 3 times from a rather underrated and less problematic ytuber yo
I love the fact he was recommended his own live stream as he was live 😂
The earliest RUclipsr I remember watching was Dobbs and Emperor Cubone, and I'm honestly not even sure if I'd ever actually watched Letsplayers when that was the meta
I love how Pat was like "You can't have half a baby" then realized that someone could "You shouldn't have half a baby"
Hermitcraft goes hard as for Minecraft let’s play content
