DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[UaineRunei]

People have beaten the ENTIRE GAME in the amount of time it took for him to get through chapter 1

People have beaten the game in the time he's spending making excuses for why he's not gonna play it.

 

[Draventren]

So he's dropping the game, he's fucking around not saying it outright. If he really doesn't want to play this, why is he doing this stream? I mean, I know obviously that he's fishing for donos from people, but if he hates it this fucking much, why not drop it? If it doesn't make you money and that's the most important part to you, just say you're dropping it. Why are you playing it at all anymore?

 

[Fill Bern El]

Damn these reasons.

DSP is dropping divinity because

- it's too long
- not enough variety in his schedule
- doesn't know what to do in the game anymore
- he doesn't want to play the game anymore
- he's interested in other "projects" outside of this game
- he's going to be bored/not enjoy it
- he made another playthrough in place of this that EVERYBODY LOVED while he waited to play this game (Nier: Automata)
- He doesn't see a future in the game
- Too much of a commitment, especially for just hitting a subscriber goal, which is just "a random number"
- It's a perfect storm/combination of things that prevent him from contiuning the playthrough
- Not the kind of game that fits him, or his style
- Not a streaming type of game
- Not white hot popular/he didn't play it on release 10 hours a week, if he did this game would've been finished in May
- People TOLD HIM that he should do ANYTHING OTHER THAN PLAYING THIS GAME (which was VIEWER'S CHOICE)
- He's better off just cutting the playthrough off here instead of playing it further, prevents wasted streams
- "It was a viewer's choice but the viewer's stopped choosing it"
- No one is satisficed playing this game (Phil and the audience)

I know I missed some.

 

[Dread Pirate Retard]

Damn, no one can put words in other people's mouths like Dark can.

YOU guys (yes YOU) are telling me you don't want to see this. YOU guys are saying "Phil, we love you and your content, and we forgive you if you drop this game. YOU guys are saying "Phil, you've played for 60 hours already. I've already seen what I wanted to see from this playthrough you can drop it."

7:40 PST and still no gameplay. It's like a fucking prestream.

EDIT: "Unless there's a miracle tonight (HINT HINT HINT) I think this will be the last DOS2 stream."

 

[Pizza Parker's Pizza Time]

This has been going on for 25 minutes....

 

[Zappin’ And Spazzin’]

This has been going on for 25 minutes....

When the schedule autism is so strong that you’d rather spend half an hour complaining rather than just switching to a different game

 

[Surly Muppet]

Massive semantic ploy to start when discussing the potential end of Divinity.
"It was a viewer's choice playthrough." Sneaky transition to distance it from the fact that he is dropping something he promised. It stopped being a viewer's choice playthrough. What does this mean?

Spoiler: King of Rambling

He's elaborating on that right now. So much has changed. He was on Twitch. And now he moved to YT to rebuild.
When this was nominated, he didn't realize what it was or how long it was. He does praise the playthrough, saying that he 'enjoys' that people picked this because it was a new experience for him.

But so much has changed. The game is insanely time intensive, and it isn't accessible to someone not knowledgable about that style of game. If it was a hot new release that people were into, he would have played it nonstop. Because the game is old, people have already experienced it. Some wanted to see him just be immersed, some wanted him to fail, some wanted him to succeed. Phil understands why people love the game, but he can't give it the time it needs because it isn't a new release. Phil's viewership has 'essentially said' they would much rather see anything else other than Divinity 2 (remember he told people to stop asking for it). People have said 'WE FORGIVE YOU IF YOU DROP THIS GAME'. They got what they wanted out of the playthrough. Phil is claiming viewers have said this in chat, repeatedly. Can anyone confirm if this has ever been spoken in chat? He feels he succeeded in what people wanted by just 'seeing what he was missing out there'.

This was 'supposed to be' a viewer's choice playthrough. I don't know what that is meant to mean and Phil doesn't elaborate. But he says he has done 60 hours and didn't realize there were 120 hour games out there. If someone had warned him, he would have taken 'some kind of executive action' here. Phil claims he said upfront with previous events that he can't take on long RPGs. Nobody wants to see it 10 hours a week, it'll 'kill his viewership'. Phil doesn't want to go back on the promise that he made to viewers, but the vast majority of viewers are asking to move on. Phil has resisted, not wanting to give up, but now he's not sure where to go or what to do. This is basically a 'perfect storm' for Phil. There's no time, and he can't make himself play this game when he knows he will enjoy others more. He just really doesn't care about this game anymore. There was a time when he did and he wanted to persevere (X). People are begging him for other things. He's so busy. Which is good! It means people like what he's doing, but it sucks for Divinity. The truth here (this is now the third 'truth') is that he isn't going to engage like people want him to. If he drops it, some people may be sad.

But here's the thing. The game won the viewers choice poll. But he played the second place from that poll to make up for the fact that he wasn't going to play Divinity right away - it was... Phil can't remember. His chat is 'delayed' (there's just nobody in it). But it was Neir: Automata, he thinks. Anyway, people also got a bonus playthrough and they loved it! We hit a MUNDANE subscriber number (what, 900 fucking subs, Phil?!) for this game and people got a bonus playthrough already! But this game doesn't fit him or his style! He would have vetoed it if he knew what it was! It's too much an investment! This is an insane, maximum stretch for Phil. Unless there is 'a fucking miracle tonight', this is the last hurrah tonight. He is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. People told him to drop this game! They gave him permission! But he knows people were disappointed (yes this is a complete repeat of the earlier part).

This game put him into this situation. Tonight... he's not going to have fun! Less people will be upset by him quitting and not wasting streams. We are going to have a 'last hurrah scenario'. Maybe he'll be blown away and he'll recommit! But likely not. He's trying to be upfront and honest!

Someone said 'this was a viewers choice, but the viewers have stopped choosing it'. Phil loves this, he hadn't thought of it that way.
Someone suggests Hades, and Phil said he'll play it one day, but it doesn't matter right now.
Eternal Napalm tipped and said that people are asking for NV to go on hiatus to finish Divinity... but Phil says that people are so supportive of NV and they're engaged. So... money. Phil thanks him and dismisses him.

This is a meandering train wreck of explanation. It's been 40 minutes and there has been no gameplay. Grow a pair, say you hate it, that you don't care about the viewer's choice marathon you got 1000 subs for, tell your audience to fuck themselves. That'd be more respectable than this pussyfooting.

I'm also not expecting an OiC sock to tip on this one. OiC has stated that he wants Phil to stop playing the game. Phil likely knows that he isn't going to tip, so he might be willing to eat a low tip total to justify putting the playthrough out of its misery.

 

[Fill Bern El]

"Can I replay the whole Halo series? What?! No, that's such a silly question."
Don't tell him about the Mass Effect Trilogy he's doing right now.

 

[Hogan of the South]

Mate to be fair I would, and likely will do just that when I'm bored simply to fuck with people. I mean look how much attention it gets. It takes a few minutes to make some throw away KF or Twitter account.

I'll make a name like HighwayToHell and call people mad because they're broke boys. People will say it's the same style of name as OIC and banging, I'm in mate.

The only thing that will give you away is that mate talk. But I’ll be sure to write down this user name of highway to hell for future reference. Checkmate atheist!

Nigel will play KGhaleon.
I'll play oic.
Now we need some others to play Jeremy May, Derich, and Rob On Wheels.

I’m at your disposal

 

[Detractor#38657]

People asked me to play Divinity for the longest time, then *everyone* hated it. Don't get me wrong , I liked it. But you all told me to stop playing. What was I supposed to do?

Such a drawn out process for such a predictable outcome. Just play the game with a guide you fucking pussy. Then you could wave your dick around all you want boasting about how you toughed out such a hard game which required knowledge of "military level tactics."

 

[Fill Bern El]

"Are you ready for the 4th of July? What exactly would I be ready for?"

this shit writes itself

 

[Flavius Anthemius]

This small little puzzle has broken the piggies mind, "This might be the rest of the stream! this might be the rest of the stream tonight".

"This is ridiculous, ridiculously confusing".

"We've really gotten far tonight in this game /sneed".

"I don't what I'm doing anymore, I don't know why I'm playing this".

"My eyes are burning".

"I don't know anymore".

"I'm seriously gonna fall asleep playing this right now, my eyes are like drooping".

 

[UaineRunei]

If you're a legit DSP fan, mod or just an ironically fan, just know that this is what happens when some whales like OiC, KingTut, Swagginz, BSV, etc do more damage than help him. He gave a fuck ton of money to him, and in the end the only thing that got "improved" was his expenses in gacha.

In a weird way, OiC is really killing DSP. Who would've thought?

 

[Zappin’ And Spazzin’]

Phil blatantly saying he doesn’t care about the game and will drop it tonight
People still compulsively trying to hold his hand
I really don’t get it
EDIT: Someone in chat solved the puzzle for Phil.
When the door opened Phil eyed the camera and sarcastically said “THANKS.”
Someone else in chat is now whining that Phil didn’t credit him for his “much clearer instructions”.
I really, really don’t get why these people do this

 

[Fill Bern El]

I am astonished- flabbergasted even, at how fucking stupid DSP is tonight holy shit he has to be on gin

he is trying to replicate this

this is what he got

we finally got a savior

My favorite part of all this is he claims he’s rebuilding on YouTube, outside of whale tips everything about this dudes business looks washed up since the move lmao

 

[Surly Muppet]

"I'm seriously gonna fall asleep playing this right now, my eyes are like drooping".

And after all this, he just did a serious beg, saying that tips were bad. He's at $11. So he mopes and cries all stream, he is going to drop this game, he already got paid a 'mundane' number of subs (still can't believe he gaslit that one)... and he still expects tips.

... for what? The content is miserable and he acknowledges this. Tips are for 'a job well done' as he told Nancy. So are we acknowledging that tips are also an expression of pity and a display of sympathy? The whole point of this stream is that nobody wants this anymore and even if they did they aren't going to get it... so what are people supposed to tip for?

Someone tipped $12 and the purpose of tips is apparently to prompt Phil to shit on the game.
And then walk it back and say the game isn't actually bad... he just... thinks it's bad...

EDIT: Phil is now complaining that the game is not accessible because he hasn't played it in a while and he has no idea what is going on. The game doesn't remind him.
He really thinks 'accessible' means every game should be complete baby mode...

EDIT 2: I was wrong. Someone tipping as AN1337 just dropped $100.
Phil actually verified this tip, but he did not verify it last night after AndreTheDJ tipped first.
So this supports the idea that it was OiC tipping as AN1337 last night. Phil feels he has to check tonight because he, like me, didn't believe OiC would tip tonight. But it is verified. I doubt this one was actually OiC.
Phil does say this is likely someone trying to 'stick it to the troll' by tipping under their name. Remember when Phil said he didn't want people tipping under aliases anymore? That's out the window. Please tip under troll names to stick it to trolls.

 

[PieceofShet]

An1337 is a faggot.

you know it wasnt him, right?

 

[Lift Me Up]

you know it wasnt him, right?

I didn't but I do now.

 

[UaineRunei]

I fucking wonder why this game is being dropped.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome our new KingTut!

And I trust 100% in OiC. He never lied before, right? lmao
