If you're reading this, do it. It's Xem approved 👀

[@user-jn4ih2sy7j]

we wasnt far away when we said nordvpn sponsor

[@DragonChamp007]

Yo, the way you intregrated the advert into the video was actually incredible and super good. I normaly auto skip sponsored adverts but this one I genuinely went back to watch it again 10/10

[@stevenpoppin000]

xem my man two days ago this happened # Player Time Date Platform Storage Type 1st place Australia247Yugioh 19m 56s 3 days ago PS3 SSD THIS GUYS BROKE YOUR WORLD RECORD OF R&C INTO THE NEXUS GO AND SEE IT! and this "Joe"'s real name is mobius

[@NGPlusVideos]

It's finally here! Amazing stuff, glad we could work together on this challenge, thanks for having me on for the ride. Is it Gladiator next, or Tools of Destruction? 🤔

[@WhitedevilEE]

Wait.... why is Xem telling us "Never has ever done this" but you had done this 3 Weeks before?! I'M confused.

[@Tohnakimmo]

@@WhitedevilEE They did it together at the same time

[@user-jn4ih2sy7j]

It goes in this order (for the PS2 ones) : @NGPlus 1: Ratchet & Clank 2: Ratchet & Clank 2 (Going Commando) 3: Ratchet & Clank 3 (Up Your Arsenal) 4: Ratchet Gladiator/Deadlocked 5: Ratchet & Clank Size Matters

[@Alex-ex8ob]

Deadlocked/Gladiator would be interesting as hell, I can already think of 2 instances in the first level where jumpless presents an issue.

[@mrlombax850]

seriously I did your jumpless video and it's nice, ooh by the way my secondary is also Nathan which is completely different from my birth name.

[@thedentedmilk]

Honestly Xem is one of the best content creators in my opinion. He’s inherently entertaining, but he also seems so kind. He’ll take the time to respond to comments with his own meaningful responses, which is always a great thing. This channel just feels like it has a great atmosphere. Also, what was that soccer anime at 13:07?

[@Xem92]

Thank you so much 😭 I really appreciate the kind words, and I hope you continue to enjoy my content. The anime is Bluelock! It's so good, I really recommend it.

[@skullkiddsk]

hey man, I don‘t know if you read through your comments but I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I stumbled upon your channel not long ago and I‘m kinda having a hard time right now, life‘s not been easy for me lately. But one thing that always manages to let me forget everything that burdens me is replaying the ratchet and clank games, especially ratchet and clank 3. just reliving some good old childhood memories when life was easier, kinda. and everytime I see you post a video I just click on it and forget everything for a few minutes, as if I was a child again, playing the game itself or watching my brother play it. it’s all just so calming for my soul, not only the gameplays but your vibe, jokes and everything as well. I hope you will make more and more of these funny, interesting and positively distracting r&c videos in the future, we all really appreciate your work. thank you for everything ✌🏻

[@Xem92]

you're gonna make me cry thank you for reminding me why i make content in the first place. here's to many more hours of helping to make your life a bit easier

[@jnsn94]

That is so wholesome. Xem thanks for everything you upload. The quality is just too good and very much entertaining 🤙 and skullkiddsk I like to think that god is testing his best warrior and is waiting for you to take over. No suffering is eternal. I hope you find the strength to fight and overcome anything that stands in your way. Feel that fire inside you and illuminate your world with it. You're a champ 🙏

[@subzerosiceballs]

That surfshark segment was smooth as hell ngl

[@itsdave92]

Dude lemme just say that combining the advertisement WITH the explanation of the challenge was a genius way to keep engagement throughout the ad. Big brain right there.

[@Xem92]

Very proud of the segment I wrote there :) Glad you thought it was well done!

[@itsdave92]

@@Xem92 Not surprised, the whole rest of the video is obviously well done! I can't believe how much goes into every bit of movement!

[@zammerman9424]

That glitch where you break Obani Gemini’s gravity and fall into Obani Pollux’s is the probably the coolest glitch I’ve ever seen!

[@govoni12]

I was not expecting Hades music in a Xem video. God of the Dead goes so hard

[@Xem92]

Hades is based as hell

[@govoni12]

@@Xem92 was it ever played on stream? I don't recall

[@DoctorSwellman]

I'm about to watch this video without jumping, a feat which has not been done before. Great work Xem and the rest of the team!

[@SuiEXE]

the evolution of this run was really interesting to watch live, so happy it's finally out in video form :)

[@Xem92]

You and me both :)

[@dundee420]

I just found this channel, and I'm absolutely shocked that you don't have 100k yet. Your videos are so well edited, not boring and funny. Keep it up.

[@Xem92]

IF YOU DON'T HEAR ANY AUDIO, REFRESH OR TRY AGAIN IN A FEW MINUTES! There's a weird processing glitch happening on the video that prevents some users from hearing it. Should resolve itself in an hour tops, but just wanted to let you all know so you don't forget to come back and watch :)

[@Misty_Haze]

I’ve been playing ratchet and clank for years now and I still sit in pure awe at your knowledge !

[@Xem92]

These games always have more to teach us :3

[@Doomification171]

I remember I watched Veldin - the first hour or so of this - thinking there was absolutely no way this was possible lol. Massive GGs to both you and NGplus!

[@NewtPoint]

Been watching the content since your first GDQ appearance what feels like a decade ago at this point. I've been absolutely loving the new era of content and the passion you're pouring into them really comes through - Keep it up big guy

[@TheFlamingGamerYT]

The jumpless videos I’ve seen are crazy, and seeing you guys find some great exploits to prevent you from jumping is super cool! The one of you throwing the turret down to glitch through the floor, and then fly to the rock textures to be pushed up, that’s some crazy stuff there haha. Im digging this fun content with you doing challenges like this, amazing my guy

[@cel_ebi]

I absolutely adore the top quality editing. Keep up the good work bro

[@dt3dt]

Great video xem is nice to see that the improved quality of the last videos has now become the standard!

[@strawberryroyal9237]

im so glad i got to see it 0.1 seconds after upload great work xem!!

[@Xem92]

thank you strawberry

[@gabemerritt3139]

The fact that gemini and Pollux are actually both loaded in at once is so satisfying to me. I honestly can't believe they didn't play with that mechanic in the base game.

[@domi9144]

I've been watching your runs for years and you've always been extremely entertaining. I love how seriously you're taking KZbin now and your content creation has stepped up so much it's insane. Loved watching this video and am praying you'll get the subs and recognition you deserve for all the effort you put into your content now. Thanks to you I'm starting to run Ratchet games as well now (it's absolute hell, I never speedran a game before, these games are so hard man)

[@Xem92]

The games never get easier, but I promise with time and practice, you’ll get better!

[@TheLetsPlayBaseballCurse]

Well done, the both of you! Fun to still see the PS2 Ratchet games getting some love even now.

[@ImFollgen]

I'm glad to have witnessed bits and pieces of it live. It was amazing to gaze upon and I'm sure this video will be too, since this dude always pulls out quality content !

[@Xem92]

much love follguin

[@ShadowDoyler]

This video is amazing and I’m so excited to see your channel / content creation career continue to grow! You deserve it Xem!

[@MelodyWarp]

I've been around for a little while keeping up with your KZbin and catching some Twitch streams now and then. There's a lot of tech I have seen and heard the names of regularly that I didn't quite understand how they worked, but this video goes just far enough in depth that I feel like I'll be able to appreciate everything a little more (and even try out myself next playthrough :P) Great vid as always!

[@Avvisoful]

Absolutely loved the video. Great editing, the different techniques you used are fun and even the sponsor was well implemented

[@spongenic]

This video really inspired me to become a better human being. My dead dog was brought back to life after watching the sponsor segment

[@wortexTM]

There's... no way that PROXY is an abbreviations of this, right? If it's made up for the video - absolutely brilliant. If it's always been this? I feel like an idiot.

[@Xem92]

it's a backronym! it never originally stood for that, but i'm saying it's what it stands for now >:)

[@wortexTM]

It's perfect

[@The_Ben_Dover69]

This video already looks sick, good job on the editing dude :)

Shoutouts to ZeskyWheat

[@curpling644]

This is impressing how you got at a so high level in video making. I remember when I watched one of your streams about 2 years ago, when you were learning how to use Paint to make a video thumbnail (I think it was on TAS reaction video). And the sponsor transition was sick lol. Btw, thank you for the credit, I really appreciate it !

[@mennykickens486]

Been waiting for this since I saw the NGPlus video

It really shows that these take so much time as told during the streams, the quality is absurdly high. I hope this gets the views it deserves, congratulations my duduuuuu!!

[@DoctorNerf]

'So we used a boxxie to land on a flat asteroid and fly to a different map within this map'. 10/10 content.

Ratchet and Clank 3 is easily my favourite of all R&C games I've played. I've played 1-3, Gladiator YEARS ago, Size Matters YEARS ago, 4 and 5, My ps3 can't run 6 :( I love the story, the characters, the gun play, it's just amazing.

[@Xem92]

Best game in the series for a reason

[@emipup_]

I literally started catching up on your content earlier today, great timing 🐺

Great video, everything that comes out is high quality. Keep up xem! Also: Is the proxy at holostar faster than the normal route? It feels like a time save, since you dont have to do the whole boss fight

Nope! Falling takes way too long sadly

[@TheUltimateShade667]

Yoo, we got the NGplus collab too. Hope you get to collab with other challenge runners in the future. Maybe its cuz I just watched one of his videos but the editing of this video reminds me of Catalystz videos. I know you probably watch so many other speedrun channels so ur not getting inspiration from one place but the thought came to me halfway through watching.

Wait is that really what proxy stands for? Either way awesome video! Love stuff like this Edit: also does ratchet 3 really run at 60fps? Is it just the hd trilogy version? I thought acit was the only ratchet game before PS4 that ran at 60fps but I could definitely be wrong about that

[@Alex-ex8ob]

Proxy doesn't actually stand for that but it's fun to think it does. Also every ratchet game from og-acit (excluding the psp games) runs at 60 fps even on PS2. Deadlocked in co-op is in 30, tho (not sure about the MP mode in that game and UYA)
