I think that's more for the non guaranteed tips I think whatever the agreement is it includes "If you don't make the tips goal I will cover what the remainder is" or something akin to that...
I rarely stick to on topic but I do like
@JamalActimel 's suggestion I just know Phil will play absolutely no game like that. Its a legit puzzle game and Phil cant get through Bugsnax. Those games seem to be on his auto ignore list as well sadly though watching him try to fumble through on his own would be funny. The calls for help would be every second.
Woah, what a shitbag. But then again, how else would he earn money. As much as we might not like it, he's one of the most successful youtubers to date.
Puzzle games would be also the bane of his existance. I remember when he played Catherine in PS3 and he did so absolutely terrible in it and i will admit Catherin is quite hard the first time you play. But again, he did terribly bad. Also, isn't supposed Bugsnax to be a game for kids or something? I think the rage cycle would repeat if he played it. You could also add Virtue's Last Reward or DanganRonpa, at which he will inevitably suck (since he did terribly bad at Phoenix Wright).
Yup, I mean he has played Nioh 1, he should know that in NG you first want an even spread of stats to 10, then just go nuts on the primary stat of your main weapon, and every once in a while put points into magic and dex until you get to either 25 or 30 for both (forgot what the cap is that gets you to the max attunement points for ninjutsu and onmyo magic respectively). The only other ones you should care about are Stamina in case you want to wear heavier armor and finally the stats you need in case you want to wear a specific armor set, but even then for the last one I mentioned you'd only spend like 5 level ups on that at most. And since he used the Switchglaive which scales most off of magic that would've meant that he'd theoretically waste less level ups on magic since it would be one of his main stats, making the retarded level up scheme he had in his playthrough even worse.
It's as you say, the first 30 levels you spread your stats and then you commit to your main depending on your build. That's why Phil should have started always with Spear and Sword (for extra health and ki) and then do whatever he wanted depending on which weapon he wants, since Nioh is surprisingly flexible when it comes to building your character, giving you multiple resets. I even remember when he was suggested to change his build when he fought Date Shigezane (nonetheless, he's an absulote beast) and he cried about "I don't want to change my character".
But in Nioh 2, it's pretty fucking horrible, mainly because his build is the weirdest and most fucked up thing i've seen. Him leveling up his magic past 30 is bad enough already (since the attunment cap is 30), but also him having so little in Ki and health. That combined with the fact that he didn't upgraded his armor or weapons at the smith (remember, you can increase weapon stat scaling and defense on armor. This helps a lot when you don't want to commit to magic yet want to use a switchglaive) makes it all worse. This combined with his astounding rejection of grinding in Nioh is a good way of screwing yourself to the point that even Sloth will not be able to save him.
Btw, these days i played the last DLC of Nioh 2 and i gotta say with absolute confidence that if Phil somehow manages to beat Yoshitsune and the Eight gods of Lightning, he won't be able to defeat the Nightmare Incarnate, which is an extremely powered up and beefed up version of Otakemaru. And if that's not enough, in the last mission you have to defeat the legendary 4 demons which can qualify as bosses in their own right due to how brutal they are.
For sure. In the D&D based WRPGs once you make a character you're basically stuck with those stats for the entire game, there are quests that give you permanent boosts to stats, but as you may imagine they're very few and usually involve either really difficult or really long sidequests.
I also did that in my first run in Neverwinter Nights and i fucked myself up so hard i had to restart. No fucking joke on it.
in WRPGs planning on allocating stats is terribly important in order to manage to perform well in the lategame, and knowing how Phil is, he would fuck himself so damn hard in the long run and he wouldn't even know how he did it. Like when he played New Vegas a second time and he didn't put points in Speech, cutting himself off from a lot of quests.
