  • Part two of Clement's Sonic 06 review could be this to some people especially when he goes into a Heroic BSoD after going to a lot of loading screens that took way too long and ends up giving up for a while after getting a game over and that the game doesn't autosave. The music during his BSOD moment didn't help matters at all. It's really hard not to feel sympathetic for him after all of this.
    • Part 7, where he takes on the final story, with End of the World, is even fucking worse. It's clear he was not expecting the game's trash he was thrown, and he goes on a rampage about not only how messed up the level is, but the fact that the game has tested his patience to a ridiculous degree, and how rare it is that he comes across a game that just keeps getting progressively worse throughout it. It's sadder than it looks.
    • After completing the review, Clement recounts his experience finishing the game for the first time and how devastating it was to see a bad Sonic game on the same level as Superman 64. As a long time Sonic fan, Clement was in shock to see a franchise that was once compared to Super Mario Bros. not only reach a tragic low but produce a game that managed to actively anger him and keep getting worse. He also recounts how the game came out in his final year of high school and how due to the stress of school and managing his drama club all he wanted was a good Sonic game. He then moves on to say that he almost dropped out of Sonic because of this game even though Sonic meant a lot to him during his childhood. There's also his delivery in this bit where it's clear that he's exhausted from reviewing this game and the somber music in the background doesn't help.
