DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[JohnRedcorn]

Wait, there's fast travel in a open-world-ish car game? Isn't the whole point getting to drive around and in Dave's case, "chill"?

You can fast travel to any of the major hubs or any race marker on the map for a cost which becomes free if you smash all the fast travel boards.

There’s also a house you can buy that lets you fast travel to any road in the game. Saving all his money and getting this house was Phils main goal for a majority of the playthrough.

The grift continues, Phil makes 2k this week but since there was one slow night the guilting has begun. Hopefully we’ll get a gin tweet due to low support.

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.

i will very rarely play on anything above normal, the only time i switch is if something is actually way too easy on normal, all it usually does is fuck with the balance, increases damage you take etc

most of the games i play are usually not the easiest though

I don't think phillip here realises that it can't keep being the lowest support ever, like cunt it happens every month for a at least 5 days.

I like how this arbitrary tips amount gets lumped into the "lowest supported streams in recent memory" group, when, had it been $5 higher, it would have got sent to the "Thanks for those who did support" Tweetbot group.

I know we all talk about it everyday, and we all understand, but his begging tactics and tendencies have gotten so played out and predictable.

You didn’t play DOOM Eternal? It kicked my ass on normal.
Anyway, I tend to play games on the normal difficulty, but that tends to be because most of the games I play don’t have difficulty settings.

How is a car racing multiplayer game any less chill than single player? A race is a race. Pigroach just can't stand the idea of getting lapped by someone not suffering from bugged cornering mechanics.

Forza online with randoms usually involves getting rammed off the track before the first checkpoint, anything but chill in my experience.

You cant ram others on purpose, the car would go through you. Especially at the start.

As others have said it mostly depends on the genre and games.

I mostly play JRPGs and there’s basically nothing to most of their difficulties except cranking up numbers and making fights take longer which detracts from the story that I’m actually playing.

That said action games I’m usually more inclined to crank up the difficulty after feeling comfortable with the mechanics. I’ve been playing the kingdom hearts and devil may cry series damn near my whole life and every new installment I make them as hard as possible.

But I’m also playing tales of arise right now and I can’t wrap my ape brain around the combat and feel like my party members and I are constantly eating shit for damage, so I’ve got no desire to increase the difficulty lol.

I’m not too crazy for shooters, but the ones I have played all feel like normal is the easy mode, you always gotta crank it up one not to make things a little more engaging

They put ghosting in but only for high speed collisions, it's still very easy to push someone off a track.

Doom Eternal made me their bitch on the hardest difficulty.

Doom almost had me drop the difficulty but I didn't not because I'm good, just because I'm a stubborn prick who wanted to recreate the movie "Live Die Repeat" .

Did Phil play that on normal or easy?

I mainly play Rainbow Six Siege which is a multiplayer game, and as such I can't really select a difficulty. I'm stuck between Platinum 1 and Platinum 2 tier in ranked, for whatever that's worth.
The last two games I played that had no multiplayer were Guardians of the Galaxy, and Assassins Creed Valhalla. I put both on hard because it was simply too easy on normal. Once you had the mechanics down for dodging and team attacks, Guardians of the Galaxy becomes a breeze. Same goes for Assassins Creed Valhalla once you know when to parry, dodge or you get your 2nd spear if you're a boring faggot.
I'm also not about to waste 60£ for a game only to treat it as a walking sim, or feel as if god mode is on because enemies do fuck all damage and post absolutely no threat.

I think we need to point out most of us don't stream and as such don't play to keep people entertained. I find it utterly exceptional when people like Phil claim they're good at games and put them on lower difficulties. It makes me cringe when they curb stomp AI and start going on about how good they are. Phil was always wank at games, and it shows it multiplayer games. In most shooters he will hide, camp or by sheer luck survive. Even in Street Fighter he is slightly above bog-standard even after all the years he's played.

I would even understand him playing on easy mode if at least he had a nice, fun or engaging personality - however he does fucking not. All he does is act like a mentally impaired git, cries about his real life issues, insults people that even slightly don't agree with him or he's finding new ways to beg for money.

Difficulty is a highly volatile topic because most Devs don't do anything special with their difficulty. The days of seeing significant changes to levels when changing difficulty has long since gone.

As many have said, modern games see difficulty as just increased numbers on enemies, turning fights into nothing more than prolonged slogs. It's why I'd don't blame anyone, even DSP, for playing on normal.

Besides, Phil doesn't need to play on higher difficulties to fuck up, all he needs is for an enemy to do something new. Or something that requires having reflexes

i loved playing forza so much that hes glad its only got 2 more streams tops.

i dont think this fag has ever loved a game other than SF2 and FF6

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

Racing games used to be guaranteed TIHYDP bait but those nudnik developers who should be out of a jahb even ruined that by adding in all of those assist features for mongoloids. Steering assist, handling assist, braking assist, automatic transmission, optimal racing line assist, rewinding mistakes... Even with Phil's blind as a bat+DUI gameplay there's only so much he can fuck up while having all of those training wheels turned on. Though it is amusing that he can somehow drive in a straight line better when he's reading tips and playing at the same time, when his attention is fixed purely towards the game he somehow can't even drive in a straight line.

You know it says a lot about our society the entire genre of racing games when karting games with cartoonish vidya characters are actually more difficult nowadays than "realistic" racing games purely because they don't have a dozen different assist features which make the car basically drive itself at that point.

I believed him when he gave Life is Strange a standing ovation. That’s a title with exactly the level of gameplay and narrative subtlety geared specifically for people like Phil.

Lets not forget the masterpiece that was Bugsnax.

But I'm guessing most kiwifart posters are too fucking stupid to understand the subtle and downright masterful storytelling the game has to offer.

If I had to guess, and be incredibly generous, the one "chore" Phil does on his day off is buying groceries. And if speculation is correct, he doesn't even do that anymore and gets them delivered. Other then that, it sounds like he sometimes hauls things to the dump or goes to get his hair styled. We also know a lot of this takes place in areas right around his home, so you can't even add travel time to really stretch things out. Even with how late Phil wakes up, all of those tasks put together still don't eat up an afternoon, let alone a full day.

I glossed over this paragraph and it almost looked like you said that Phil goes to the dump to get his hair styled.
