Phil's being more blatant about reading/watching guides/other streamers. Saying that boss fight doesn't feel that climatic; nevermind the "final boss" of the first game was a super-charged version of an enemy (and additional mobs) you fought before. Wouldn't say the series is exactly known for making impressive set pieces that aren't just scenery.

Edit: Phil was being retarded with "Oh yes, a finale where I haven't done enough looting." Not saying he doesn't have any healing. Gee Phil, it's almost like shit is strategically placed to help retards like you.

Edit: I'm only this familiar with it, because I recently played through the first one again; but with how the first two games were paced, it's obvious the devs went in with a plan to do a trilogy at the least. The post-credits scene of the first game had the Hades module escape and be placed in a container Sylens had, and the final line is Sylens saying something about "You and I have much to discuss." Phil is just too fucking water-brained to put two and two together to get four; yeah this game had bad timing to get matched against Elden Ring, and even if "80% of people dropped it to play something else" those are still sales. If I'm remembering correctly; games make their money in the first two weeks of launch, anything after that isn't counted. And he won't even try to theorize what might happen; just "they can't kill it, it makes no sense." Phil, the man who loves a challenge, ready to lay down and die.

If Phil existed outside of whatever hole he dug himself into, he'd know that there are a lot of people who play games without ever completing them. This is easily proven via the Trophy lists that synch to Sony's servers and have a "Beat the Game" trophy.

Just going through some basic normie games in my list I see.
Far Cry 5 - 36.5%
Horizon Zero Dawn - 32.1%
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla - Complete Final Arc - 22.1% or Eliminate all Ancients - 17.4%
Doom Eternal - 36.0%
Death Stranding - 28.2%
Resident Evil 7 - Ending 1 - 28.1% or Ending 2 - 13.1%
Days Gone - 26.9%
Resident Evil 2: Remake - Leon's Ending - 51.4% or Claire's Ending - 38.9% or True Ending - 29.6%
Resident Evil 3: Remake - Complete game on Standard - 46.5% / next highest difficulty drops to 18.8%

And to top it off; Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, a game he didn't complete because he got the gold trophy for Act 3 and said Act 4 is a waste of time.
Gold Trophy - Stalemate is Victory (Act 3) - 25.4%
Silver Trophy - Peace in Death (Act 4) - 10.9%

And keep in mind, a lot of these games are not only normie bait, but there are achievement/trophy hunters out there who play damn near every game they can to stack their digital awards. I can't say for certain how much or if any, but some of these numbers can be inflated by people who play for 100% completion, and not just consooming content and waiting for next content. We should take stock that not everyone is a day 1 adopter; so even these numbers can be skewed because a number of them have been out for a couple of years, giving more time for people to play their backlogs.

So feel free to inquire how completion rates lead to sales or sequels, because Phil is a fucking retard by trying to say they're linked.

Wtf what's the context for this? Is the retard mod unable to manage chat by himself or something?
Denthead fans calling out "trolls" by @ing them and the mods to try and get them banned for not sticking to Phil's strict no fun allowed policy. Lots of people spamming 1 for no reason also it seemed like Phil really did just give up on the chat tonight until the end when he ended the recording and lashed out like always.
 
Played 3h of ghostwire. A lot of jap culture stuff in it to find so if he does play it we would get a lot of juicy pigsplanation about jap culture.
Phil already knows everything about Japanese culture.

  • They all eat Chinese food every day
  • They all know karate
  • They only watch cartoons
  • Their women's vaginas are slanted
 
Using a VPN while logged into YouTube won't change the currency used when tipping or super chatting; however, one could buy foreign currency on the market and use it in their PayPal account to make it appear they are from a different country than the one they actually reside in.
You are such a sad, pathetic schizophrenic. You pop up like a recurrent cancer here every now and then to share what you think is helpful information in an attempt to ostracize another DSP mod or whale who you find threatening. Of course, most of the time this information is either wrong (like it was here) or worthless. And then you hop back on @JimJimJim to post your little hats because you're a passive aggressive pussy who cowers, just like his master, from any actual confrontation. You are bad at everything you attempt. And you're still boring as fuck.

To add to this: most Games nowadays give you a trophy when you achieve the first story point. For example in Persona 5 and Persona 5 royal you get a trophy when you get Arsene which is basically one hour into the game. And according to the stats this wasn't achieved by 100% of all players. So either they bought it and never touched it or gave up during the intro. Heck not all Bloodborne players have beaten Gascoyne and as far as i know you have to beat this particular boss or you won't be able to progress any further. I am also guilty of this when I look at my Steam library or the stack of PS4 games I haven't played much.

Then again Phil is stupid. Good thing he doesn't run a business...oh wait

On the Xbox I think it counts if you boot up the game, there's an achievement in the Simpsons game for pressing start on the title screen and that isn't even 100% unlocked.

There’s also the possibility of those trophies not being synchronized, In Persona 5’s case, since it’s part of the PS Plus collection for anyone with a PS5 and a Plus account, chances are that several players just added the game to the library and never played it, something I do all the time with most games offered under PS Plus.

Tl;dr: Phil viewing trophies/achievements as an accurate engagement metric is retarded.
 
Kinggoken, or any mods for Phil that lurk here, hear me out. I know you're all sick of OIC. If you can agree to not throw each other under the bus and just ban the fucker without Phil's permission, I 100% guarantee he will not unmod any of you.
Standing united against OIC is far beyond any commitment they could muster.

As long as they can swing a banhammer and flex in a stream chat small enough to notice them, they're happy.
 
Developers do use achievement data but not to see if they're gonna make a sequel or not, that's just completely delusional, how a game sells determines how likely it is to get a sequel no matter how well or poorly it was received or how good or bad the completion rate is. They use achievement data to see whether there were any points where players significantly dropped the game. Story achievements having gradually less and less completion the further on you go is normal but if there's something crazy like 15% of people dropping the game between 2 achievements when the usual rate was 5-7% then they check what went wrong and how they'll fix it if they make a sequel.

angy at Internet Things

Please consider how little it takes for some stain to get under your skin and re-examine how embarrassing this is for you. People will say “OIC is just a dipshit” and then foam at the mouth when he does literally anything and users have been at this point for years now. If you need to thump your chest like this over anyone or anything related to DarkSydePhil it’s time to take several steps back.
 
with phils used to be buff statements, i wonder if this is how he sees himself in the mirror.
I've never heard anyone call creatine "creatine shakes". Phil proved himself to be a poser just by saying that. No one who has ever taken creatine would refer to it as a "shake", I mean I guess you could mix creatine into your protein shake but most people wouldn't do that and phil talked about it like its a stand-alone shake. Creatine mixed in a liquid is no where close to the same consistency/texture as what anyone would call a shake.
