DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[UaineRunei]

Btw, he just slightly changed the joystick story, saying the fan 'watched him playing on Xbox and bought the joystick'.

So, the "superfan" immediately bought a joystick for the Xbox after you stopped streaming? Even though you clearly didn't decide if you would continue to play on Xbox?? Because Phil said he received the e-mail this morning...

And how it's already shipping? That's pretty fucking fast, huh?

Question for the KiwiFart community.

How many of you play games on the hardest difficulty?

I havent played anything under the hardest difficulty for over a decade.
Old FPS shooters would slap your bitch ass around if you up the difficulty.

Phil plays Halo on normal "as intended by the developers" and its insane how many shots you takes before actually dying.

Games have been significantly dumbed down to accommodate idiots like Phil.
@Piece of Peace mentioned on his stream that the issue isn't so much the low difficulty, it's about the fact that Phil has an audience he needs to entertain and easymode is not entertaining for the audience. This is an accurate assessment of the problem - I don't play games on high difficulties, but I'm also not trying to make money off my gameplay.

Phil wants money from his audience, but he insists on putting his enjoyment first.

Recently, I have been playing games on the hardest difficulty available. I plan on playing Shin Megami Tensei V on the hardest difficulty.

I pretty much play on normal, I haven't got the time, patience or skill to learn the mechanics of something I'll probably play through once. Although I don't describe myself as a pro gamer or ask people to give me money to play.

I remember when Phil played Doom 2 and saved 359 times when he played on the Hurt Me Plenty difficulty. He also somehow managed to die 236 times.

Depends on the game , i used to play everything on hard until i played bioshock infinite...
spoilers: hard mode makes the game incredibly boring since enemies become bullet sponges and every fight takes forever

So know i google how does the difficulty changes work first

 

[QwahlityKahntent]

Just after that, he announced that OMM tipped $25.

does he do his """""""behind the scenes""""""" tip every day? is there really someone out there blowing $600 a month minimum on this fat faggot?

For the most part, I enjoy playing games on the hardest difficulty possible. I find part of the joy of gaming for me is the challenging part of it. If a game is too easy, I get bored of it quickly. It's part of the main reason I loved the Souls series. I obviously don't play games for money, but just for entertainment value. I'll also admit I sit firm in the camp that games are getting too easy with lots of hand holding, but I won't sperg out about it like some people simply because my opinion is my own and I know there are people who don't agree and simply play games to unwind after a long day and relax.

I play life on the hardest difficulty. Does that count?

I mean it really depends. I play old RPGs and arcade games. So, those are usually very unfun playing hardest blindly.

The first Halo had parts that were just grindy as fuck, especially after the Flood get introduced. In co op mode Legendary is the only way to play, but in solo Legendary just makes it take too long.

 

[Elescondido]

Is very telling how he only has fun with halo when he can one hit kill everyone.
The second he has any struggle the salt pours in

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

1MM is the most interesting thing in the goutsphere right now.

He has been for months, because it's unbelievable that someone is willingly paying a $25+ tithe to Phil every day for ???.

@Piece of Peace mentioned on his stream that the issue isn't so much the low difficulty, it's about the fact that Phil has an audience he needs to entertain and easymode is not entertaining for the audience.

This would be a problem even if he WEREN'T such a garbage streamer, too. Many years ago, there was this guy who took a shot of whiskey every time he died in Super Meat Boy. No, he didn't die of alcohol poisoning, but he did get wasted enough to have to stop before reaching the end of the game.

Why do I bring that up? Well, imagine if that guy pussed out and played on easy mode. Normally it was fun to watch him, drunk or no, but take the challenge out, especially on a game famous for being hard, and the player has to work that much harder to stay entertaining, slowly getting hammered or no.

There's just no reason to introduce that problem while you're streaming, it's so much easier to just give yourself a challenge and then either meet it or be fun to watch as you fuck it up royally. There's a reason only Phil finds that impossible, and it's because he's a baby who just refuses to stop giving into his childish hangups. He's wrong about what to prioritize in life, and I'm done treating things on his terms.

That little girl who called him an idiot had the right idea about how to speak to and of the pigroach. Playing on low difficulty to protect your ego while insisting on getting paid hundreds of dollars in tips a day is stupid. Setting ego aside so you can roll in even more dough than that is smart. Every day he doesn't do the latter, he's a fucking idiot, personality problems or no.

Chris-chan has excuses for being a tard, Phil never did. Consider the gloves officially off.

Phil existence summed up in one sentence.

Highly depends on the genre and developer.

I've done multiple runs of Solo Nightmare in Dragon's Age: Origins just because it's fun and you can play around the mechanics, so you are able to match the inflated HP pools.

I'm also playing through Horizon: Zero Dawn on Normal because frankly, while the world-building is neat and aesthetics are top notch, I don't get any of the "Revolutionary GOTY gameplay" other than abusing Tripcaster/Sling and shooting at the same sponge over and over when I tried the higher difficulties. Same reason I don't get the "I love how hard the Souls games are" when I have pushed through all the ones available on PC on a very comfortable manner while using simple STR based builds, even in Daughters and Cinders.

I think FPS are not a good example of difficulty for the most part. Higher difficulties in them usually equals to the enemies becoming bullet sponges while your character becomes weaker than Phil's biceps.

It's yet another DSP issue.

Doesn't play hard difficulties because he doesn't want to get mocked, which actually brings in more money/viewers, so he goes to easymode, where nobody gives a fuck and wonders why.

I've watched Aris (AvoidingThePuddle) play through some of the shittiest games I've ever seen, both in easy and hard and it works because you know, he actually has charm.

DSP will just "nuhuhuhu" his way through games, no matter if it's an emotional fight in Yakuza or a minigame in Wario.

 

[JimiHendrix]

How many of you play games on the hardest difficulty?

depends on the difficulty. if it does things like "you can't save unless you have x resource"

then i'm not bothering with that. not fuckin' with a difficulty that removes my ability to stop playing when i have to.

same for difficulties like "one hit is instant death"

but other than that shit i always pick at least above normal. unless it's some dumb shit like Persona where on higher difficulties they just make you gain EXP slower.

 

[Surly Muppet]

Phil got 2 $10 tips from Black Santa. This triggers the Jingle All the Way animation that prompted the Phil Schwartzenigger incident, so this was probably a whale trolling him a little. They were also the primer tips before getting on the regular OroTurtle sock and tipping to hit the $100 goal.

This unlocked the full money buff and clown mode, and now Phil is mocking, insulting, and bashing the AI enemies as though they were real players and he was stomping in a CoD match. It's a little weird to hear him screaming "You suck, bitch!" while he melees some dented AI mook to death. On normal mode.

 

[Iron Hamster]

Unless there is already an overly generous amount of tips. Then he just seems to be non-existent.

 

[San Dimas High School]

does he do his """""""behind the scenes""""""" tip every day? is there really someone out there blowing $600 a month minimum on this fat faggot?

He doesn't do it if he's over 100 already before break. There's 3 or so names that never tip if he's over 100 at break time and none of them tip on the same day as each other. I think (?) 1MM always tips 25 and the others tip different amounts. It's weird for sure

And that wondering why is legit, too. He really is dumb enough to not put two and two together like that. It's like we need to all just constantly post "PLAY HARD GAMES AND YOU'LL GET TO WHALE OUT ON CHAMPIONS A LOT MORE!!" for him to get the hint.

If I was that monkey on his back, I would've left him for a better host a long time ago. Maybe go find one of the whales who ranks higher than he does in that game. He sucks at being a provider even when he tries to be.

It's weird, but also funny, because it shows him being the chickenshit that he is, talking trash to something that doesn't talk back. I used to wonder why he would constantly tell NPCs to STFU in old videos of his, and then I realized that was why: he's a dick AND a pussy.

Also funny because of the contrast between that and when real people are blasting him to smithereens like the scrub-ass bitch that he is.
