I love how we went from "you should not listen to pre release reviews" to this...

Ironic how the man whose reviews are mocked by most people for having completely arbitrary scores (e.g. goes the whole game complaining that it's shit, bad game design etc, then gives it a 8/10), thinks he's in a place from where he can mock others' scores.

His lack of self-awareness never fails to surprise me.

Phil’s been punished by Twitch about 5 times now over the years, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 6th incident happen sometime in the future due to how increasingly unhinged Phil’s behavior has been getting in recent months.
I can honestly see an outright Twitch ban in the not so distant future, especially if he keeps up the unhinged outbursts. It might sound like wishful thinking, but nobody really anticipated the loss of partnership either (well, everyone stopped expecting it because the daily TOS violations never seemed to do anything).
And DSP not being a partner anymore certainly doesn't do him any favors there.
 
I rewatched THE BEST DSP COMPILATION made by @David Davidson and now im wondering. Why wasnt dsp departnered years ago?

oh my dear god he is TOXIC there

this is what I don't understand about fighting games... do people just not play that shit for fun??? Why do people like DSP have to be competitive with EVERY fighter they pick up, like wtf?

I can't speak for other people who are like that but thanks to Phil's pervasive need to be Fat Guy Trapped In Internet it's easy to say confidently that being marginally skilled in a video game is all he has, so when he gets his shit pushed in by people younger and with better lives it's a blow to his fragile-yet-massive ego and he can't handle it.

Oh god, that MVCI series of videos on DD’s channel are easily the saltiest I’ve ever seen Phil. I think that was not long after Panda left and he was in a shit mood a lot, but that game took him to new heights. I highly recommend watching all three of them.
 
how the fuck does he say this goofy shit with a straight face

How indeed. He's as crooked as his retarded crooked face.
 
As the saying goes, Phil has a face for radio, and a voice for the printed page.

If he actually knew how to write coherently.
And the brain for a padded room.
The Returnal saga is why you should always do your research on games before you buy them.
Had Phil already bought it at the time of his rant? I just assumed it was his intense schedule autism that prevented him from skipping or at the very least delaying Returnal.

He at least bought it 2 days ago cause when he signed off COD last night, Returnal was all loaded up and ready to play.

You also gotta love how Straightsydephil just picked both of the beefcake men and called it a team without ever changing them for someone else
 
The problem isn't that DSP hates roguelikes. They aren't my personal cup of tea either. The problem is two-fold:

1) Instead of just saying he doesn't like it, DSP has to rant about "bad game design."

2) DSP doesn't like ANY video games (insert Champions joke here). It'd be different if there was something that he actually liked. The only thing that comes close are the Heavy Rain/Detroit Choose-Your-Own-Adventure games, which would be fine, but even those it's not like he replays any of them. It's not like he'll do a Heavy Rain chill stream or anything; those games are one and done too.

I hate throwing around the term narcissism because everyone on the internet does it, but it's a classic narcissism thing instead of saying they just don't like something to say that it's bad and everyone else is stupid for liking it because OBVIOUSLY the game is bad.
 
It looks like he's trying out a "Last tip" entry on his leaderboard. So anybody can get their name up there - I guess it gives some incentive to tip even if somebody's already dropped $70, so you get more recognition than his usual shoutout.

Of course, he has to manually update it every time, so his "3 hours of gameplay" are going to get cut into even more.

Just remember that you're not throwing around the term with DSP, he 100% is actually a narcissist.

theres a lot going on with him and fighting games but nothing new to be said really- he has crafted a significant chunk of his ego around being Top Ranked North American in ST and every time he loses he gets reminded that the reality is that he placed 4th in an event almost 20 years ago boycotted by top players in the much smaller pre-SF4 fighting game community.

when he loses he also doesn't understand what's happening because he has zero analytic ability. throw in some clinical paranoia and you have an extremely frustrating experience because in his mind his failure could be anything from the game being bugged to trolls somehow disrupting his neurological functioning. imagine you went to go do something you're good at this weekend but when you tried it you suddenly failed over and over. now imagine instead of being able to perform basic troubleshooting to find out what's wrong your brain just starts compulsively thinking about tractors.

to answer the question though fighting games take a long time to get competent at and you're lookin at a couple hundred hours before you can hop on fightcade and not just end up being some guy's fuck doll. lots of people still do have fun at all skill levels but if you value being Good at Games they require a time investment and commitment that understandably filters a lot of people.

a prerequisite to enjoying fighting games however is to enjoy video games and phil just doesn't like them anymore.

He'll give up on that as soon as he has to add several in a row.

He's a massive narcissist and giant hypocrite. He loves criticizing others for the shit he does and takes the joy out of people's misery. Thank got he is such a fucking buffoon because all his opinions are nothing but bitching with his mature adult buzzwords. He despises challenging games, games that make you read, games that make you use your imagination, games that you have to figure out, and games that don't guide him to the win every time. All of these things make up a good game but Phil hates that. Also, his rant on Returnal just proved how much of an out-of-touch asshole he really is. Phil, you are the laziest person on the internet, yet somehow you think playing video games all day constitutes "busy". People out there are sweating their asses off to just enjoy entertainment that you take for granted each day. You get 110k a year and yet still bitch and moan the most. I can't wait to see you cry like a little baby when Returnal kicks your pink-pimpled ass back to Bugsnax...where it belongs. Playings kids games and crying to your paypiggies to feed your addiction.
