After watching this again, I'm now convinced that Phil is borderline brain dead. That part where he complains about not knowing that he has to hold down RT for the disruptor is evidence that he is on the verge of forgetting how to breathe.
Funny, whenever I pressed Y during the Deathstroke fight it worked perfectly. In fact, I got the achievement for not taking a single hit. I guess Phil's Y button is bugged.
He did a play through of the other games but as far as I can tell he has no idea what the hell he is doing in this one, especially in combat. I think I button mashed in Asylum for about 30 seconds before I realized how the combo system works.
There needs to be a DSP Difficulty Level on the copies of the games he gets. Enemies just stand still and let you beat on them with no resistance whatsoever. The game just hands you an easy win. No thought needs to be involved to progress. And I bet he'd still get stuck somehow.
U4Real? Are you serious? DSP would hate walking simulators. There would be no enemies to easily button mash into bloody piles and he would have to pay attention to ugh, a STORY! Gross! And sometimes he'd even need to solve a simple puzzle, and simple puzzles are his kryptonite! (Most things are, really)
ikr i know im super late lmao just wanting to watch some tihydp also did he ever hear of the word *DETECTIVE MODE* because he probably didnt use it once in his playthrough only for the forensic scanner
@@lemon___1344 In Arkham city he would use detective mode too mich in fights. He couldn't see walls and thought thugs couldn't see him through a window.
"I swear if he spams guns I'm gonna get fucking pissed." Okay, that was actually kind of funny. Phil managed to make me laugh with a genuine joke. Never thought I'd see the day.
Something to note about Deathstrokes battle, when he attacks and you have to counter, you have to only tap the button once. If you spam the counter button, it will cancel it completely and youll take damage. You wouldnt believe how many people i know whove been stuck on that boss for weeks because they couldnt beat him
gotta say his memory of the past arkham games seems poor. I can clearly remember having to run for it when I did a vent takedown unless my target was the last goon in the room and I only used glide kicks if they were near a drop to make them go night night in one swoop.
25:15 is probably the best thing I've ever seen. "Are you even going to do anything? What an epic boss fight..." *Promptly kneels down to get smacked in the back of the head with a staff*
One time the emptiness of his brain actually did a good thing, is when he allowed Joker to finish his monologue at the finale - 90% of people playing it just press the counter once the prompt appears on screen
Nah, I let Joker finish his monologue too. It's The Joker. He's never disappointed us before, right? I know it's easy to just press "Counter", and instantly beat the s**t out of The Joker and end the boss fight and the game early, but if you don't finish off Joker, and don't let him end his speech, you NEVER get another chance to hear him finish it again. You'd have to restart the ENTIRE game over, get to that part again, and stand there and let Joker monologue first, THEN combo him. It's more satisfying that way. And feels more like something Batman would've done. But probably would've interrupted Joker before he got to the end of his speech, fist first.
He doesn't get the concept of stealth in the Arham and Metal Gear Solid games. And that is the point to check your surroundings and most of all, be patient and think your tactics.
So pressing Y when a prompt tells you to is an example of trial and error playthrough, and requires memorizing a pattern? I guess I shouldn't be shocked at this point, considering this is the same guy who called lining up three squares in blade mode a "puzzle slash."
9:52 First time I played this game, I immediately knew what to do. I just ran up to Electrocutioner and pressed the attack button. I was surprised that he went down with one blow, but at least I didn't overthink the encounter. DSP logic: overthink the situation and lay down traps your opponent won't fall for. My logic: don't dink around, just get in there and kick his ass!
- Deathstroke's one is my favourite boss-fight in all the Arkham games. - It's intense, quick and makes you use all the mechanics you know. - It's not too hard, you an beat it at the first try and feel awesome. - (Phis is a sub-species of chimpanzee so he doesn't get it).
The saddest part is this game is MUCH easier then AA and AC. Phil can't handle pressing buttons in rythem. The highest combo I saw was 10... I got a 75 hit combo in the first hour. It's an easy game.
You never ran into combo's dropping? That was one of my biggest issues with the game - target and press the strike button to keep a chain going, but sometimes Bat's would swing and whiff at air instead of strike the next available target. But yeah, overall, a fairly easy game by comparison. Just some odd bugs or unpolished mechanics that make it the weakest in the franchise.
americannightmare76 It also has some cheap fucking uncounterable hits now and again. Gets much easier later with the gloves and critical upgrade though
masstransit2 I never ran into uncounterable hits early on, actually. My only issue with combat was sometimes Bat's would just swing at air instead of hit the next enemy that I wanted to strike. The gloves made it easier to drop combo's because he was more likely to whiff instead of hit the next available enemy. It was just odd.
americannightmare76 Yeh I experienced that too, I'm not saying what I mentioned was prolific but every now and then an enemy would spawn the counter icon, fly from miles away with what is known in MMA as a Superman opunch and hit you before your last punch animation had finished. A lot of combat compared to the previous 2 games the timing felt off at times
masstransit2 Ah, okay. I immediately played my first run of the game on Hard so never would have noticed something like that as I tend to look more for the enemy's body animations to signal their strikes. I found a lot of times I'd get psyched out anticipating strikes rather than seeing the set-up to a strike. Would probably explain why I'd never see something like that.
This guy doesn't use Detective mode, can't counter properly, dies to Deathstroke! and also never uses silent takedowns. Yup, can't wait for his Arkham Knight playthrough.
8:00 "Original character, random electric guy." Fuck, Electrocutioner has been in the Batman comics since the fucking 80s. I hate when Phil pretends he's some huge Batman afficionado when he didn't even recognize at the very least freaking Killer Croc on installation screen of Arkham Asylum.
I don't consider myself to be a Batman aficionado and I recognized everyone on the installation screen, and knew who Barbara Gordon was other than Commissioner Gordon's daughter (then again I wasn't looking directly at it and was reading New 52 Batgirl while watching) Which is something I'll add to my list of things I can do better than DSP without using 1/3 of the brainpower Phil used.
I did just an hour ago, playing it for the first time. It was a bit hard to time the counters at times and kinda had you memorize his patterns. I only took three tries, the second of which I came pretty close, but I actually consider it one of my favorite boss fights in the Arkham series; almost up there with Mr. Freeze in City. But honestly, having seen the playthroughs of Asylum and City, I really don't think this guy knows what he's doing :p
Its pretty obvious Phil has no idea what he's talking about. 1: When you did a inverted takedown from gargoyles in Asylum/City guards was always alerted. 2: When you did a grate takedown in Asylum/City guards was always alerted 3: You do lose guards while going from gargoyle to gargoyle but its just Phil's stupidity that stops him from doing it.
It legit pisses me off when he uses the glide kick and gets surprised that dudes are alerted. This is the third Arkham game he played at this time and the mechanics are identical in every one of them. Glide kicks and gargoyle takedowns are not silent and they alert dudes, why the hell does he not comprehend this the first time it happens?
Well I about lost my shit over the part where he couldn't figure out how to work the disrupter. Are we sure he's actually played the previous two Arkham games? I mean, I know he must have eventually failed his way forward like he does most games he touches, but did he actually learn anything while playing them? ...as if I didn't already know the fucking answer.
I find hilarious that the only part in the Deathstroke fight that the dumbass didn't fumble was the button-mashing sequences XD says a lot about his sole gaming tactic XD
He actually ruin's such an amazing boss fight (Deathstroke) No doubt one of my favourite boss battles in gaming -.-! It's actually painful to watch, he spams the attack button and complains why he can't counter, that's the point of the Deathstroke battle, its all about timing, and watching him and analysing and looking for opening's that's not spamming the attack button and the counter button, and after he reads the hint, starts spamming the batclaw quickfire button! -.- and as for using explosive gel at the beginning of the battle don't get me started on that! -.-! Thats one thing that pisses me off about DSP he's probably the reason games are getting easier and all the old games are adding all these new features to make it easier, take MGSV with the marking system and the reflex mode, Yeah I know they can be turned off but thats not the point, all the games are adding these new features that make it easier, for idiots like DSP and other children that have no patience & have the attention span of a fish
ArcaneOmen2041 While this is true, it's still no excuse. The game is piss easy compared to those games, almost as if the guys making it KNEW they somehow managed to fuck up the prepackaged combat system that was already perfect and gift wrapped for them, and thus made everything else more or less shit just to compensate.
Now that I agree with. Except for when my combos get dropped because a guy was standing on a garbage pile in the open world. But yeah considering how easy it actually was to power through and get things like the Injustice skin I'm surprised at how easy the game was outside of combat glitches. Still mad they yanked out the Worst Nightmare skin for those who made it to 100% though.
What's the point in complaining about losing a combo when he never uses the finishers that automatically take a guy out and make the fights significantly easier?
Phil having problems with Deathstroke, I can understand. It took me multiple tries to get the counters timed right...and I still took damage. However, I never had a problem with Copperhead. In fact I thought she was the easiest boss in the game, which is funny because I kept failing with the blade counters.
Yes, Phil, I'm sure Troy Baker insisted on singing during the credits. It was all his idea and was in no way an allusion to Mark Hamill singing during the credits of the previous game. Great catch. Moron.
I usually don't want to comment on videos like this, but i wanted to punch something when he's whining about getting seen eventhough he is "impossible to see" YOU ARE WALKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM...Gaaah
My dad was playing this and he was having trouble with Deathstroke. (My dad isn't a gamer and hasn't really played a game since the n64 era) So, he asked me to try and beat him because he was having trouble on the last phase with the sword. On my first try I beat Deathstroke with ease and only got hit twice. Phil plays games all day and sucks at it. Can't believe he had this much trouble with Deathstroke when the game tells you what to do in conflicts.
It”s like the mini boss fight with Norton in Bully, where Phil goes up against a guy swinging a giant hammer using just his fists. He has batarangs, why doesn’t he do ranged attacks?
It's Phil. He once tried to fight a legendary sniper at close range with a shotgun and was annoyed at the fact that it wasn't simple to close range a sniper
I doubt Phil will ever read this, but here goes. Phil, the reason you keep getting your ass kicked when you try to do the ground takedown is because it has a very long startup animation of roughly 1 second (counting the part where Batman moves towards the enemy) and cannot be canceled out of once it is started until the latter stages of the cooldown phase. This is also the reason enemies keep getting up, as they are not knocked out until the active phase of the animation, which is during the part that, again, cannot be cancelled and takes roughly 1 second to perform. You're throwing this move out in the middle of a fight against a large group. 1 second of vulnerability is the perfect time to punish your opponent. That is what the AI is doing: Punishing you for being stupid. So stop being stupid. You have a fighting game background. You should know this. And I hope this is because the This Is How You Don't Play videos edit stuff for time, but this is the first video from the three Arkham games where I've seen you use the Instant Takedown. If this is accurate, and again, I hope it is not, that means it took you until the third game of the series to finally use the single most useful melee attack in the entire series. Finally, you are once again mashing the attack button like it's the only move you have. Stop it. In action games and fighting games, mashers get their asses kicked. You're getting your ass kicked. It's easy to see why.
I know is completely impossible for these playthroughs (If can be called that), but sometimes i wanna know what the chat says when DSP whines and makes excuses. Do they whiteknight him? Do they throw some logic remarks in a passive, unoffensive way?
When people who have a brain call him out in the chat all the subscribers/mods/fanboys either ban you from talking again or say "if you don't like it don't watch it". Sometimes when Phil says the games too hard half of them agree because they're ultra casual kiddies.
Lucario The Epic With any other youtuber maybe, but Phil is just so mind-bogglingly stupid that he make most people want to lobotomize themselves with an icepick.
epicsauceness100 It blows the mind, doesn't it? I didn't think it was possible to be that dumb until my friend showed me one of his videos. It gets to the point where he can't even read simple instructions. AND he calls the game buggy. Other youtubers' failures don't even come CLOSE to this guy. Edit: Also, his salty tears are so delicious.
I just started up a new playthrough of Arkham Origins (planning another chronological series run) and just beat Deathstroke, which of course brought me back to this video, haha. I think it's hilarious how the one Arkham boss battle Phil had the most trouble with was the one that REALLY punishes you for button mashing (well, except the bits where you're supposed to mash the button to counter his blows and then give him a flurry of punches). If you fight Slade the way you're supposed to, he's actually fairly easy, but if you just mindlessly mash buttons, he'll eat you for lunch. And we all know what Phil's favorite (read: only) tactic is when it comes to hand to hand combat, or hell fighting games in general... not to mention he relies way too much on the damn Batclaw trick and doesn't use his combo takedowns! It's so frustrating, his combo multiplier is glowing yellow and practically screaming "Hey, I'm ready! Use me!" and Phil doesn't bother and misses an instant easy damaging attack. And how sad that Phil would call this game a "cheap cash in piece of shit" later. Granted he's not alone in that opinion (though the game's gained more appreciation in recent years, and I personally LOVE it), but we just know Phil's reason for this is that he's salty that "Captain Cocksucker/Dickstroke/The Human Queef" trolled him...
Batman is anything but enigmatic. In the imaginary DC universe sure, but not to the reader like he is interpreting it. He is not mysterious to the reader, why he is what he is isn't difficult to understand at all. To be fair, I am only playing Batman Arkham Knight currently on EASY difficulty, but that is primarily because I really only want to experience the story at this point, I already played through half the game last year on normal and said screw it this time (not that normal is hard, but still, I just wanted to breeze through and experience the story). Oh how I wish they would make a Joker focused game. You could make it work by having Batman held hostage and going to be killed soon. Joker, having the relationship he does with Batman, feels slighted at this and of course feels HE should be the one to kill the Bat, so he has to rescue him so they can start their game anew. You can get more brutal too, not too brutal but with the Joker you have to step the crazy up.
good thing about this playthough is we get to see nearly all the game over screens
You're right
The Electrocutioner is a perfect portrayal of Phil. Talks big and shits on his opponents, then gets his ass owned afterwards.
After watching this again, I'm now convinced that Phil is borderline brain dead. That part where he complains about not knowing that he has to hold down RT for the disruptor is evidence that he is on the verge of forgetting how to breathe.
I LOVE how between this and Injustice, Deathstroke is pretty much Phil's arch-enemy
Someone in DC had a contract for him apparently.
Actually, it was probably EvilAJ2010
Funny, whenever I pressed Y during the Deathstroke fight it worked perfectly. In fact, I got the achievement for not taking a single hit. I guess Phil's Y button is bugged.
It isn't bugged, his Y chromosome however......
He probably DOES believe he grew up with Batman too.
masstransit2 Phil said he met George W. Bush, as in, the former president of the U.S.
He'll believe whatever he wants, no matter how ridiculous.
It’s the online lag
No. His Y button isn’t bugged. He just sucks.
It seems like Deathstroke is talking more to Phil than Batman.
warwatcher91 Nah, he said he fought well.
"Why did I get hit ?"
Because you're bad.
He did a play through of the other games but as far as I can tell he has no idea what the hell he is doing in this one, especially in combat. I think I button mashed in Asylum for about 30 seconds before I realized how the combo system works.
Are you going to review the batman arkham games in the future
Kev Clar
Nope.
U only review first person games right
Kev Clar
At the moment yeah, I'm thinking of branching out though.
OK that sounds good
There needs to be a DSP Difficulty Level on the copies of the games he gets. Enemies just stand still and let you beat on them with no resistance whatsoever. The game just hands you an easy win. No thought needs to be involved to progress.
And I bet he'd still get stuck somehow.
CheesyGranola That's a terrible idea, It would encourage more idiots like him to play games and that would be a literal plague on gaming as a whole.
+CheesyGranola Game would also need to be plugged to GameFAQs 24/7, so he wouldn't need to ask stream chat for help anymore.
+CheesyGranola Sounds like DSP would enjoy Guild Wars 2.
+CheesyGranola those games are called walking simulators
U4Real? Are you serious? DSP would hate walking simulators. There would be no enemies to easily button mash into bloody piles and he would have to pay attention to ugh, a STORY! Gross! And sometimes he'd even need to solve a simple puzzle, and simple puzzles are his kryptonite! (Most things are, really)
I knew he'd get stuck on the Electrocutioner boss battle. It's clearly out of his difficulty range.
He didn't get *that* stuck though.
@@linushyper300lol it’s a joke
Did Phil seriously complain about not being able to automatically regenerate health in the middle of a boss fight? *facepalm*
ikr i know im super late lmao just wanting to watch some tihydp also did he ever hear of the word *DETECTIVE MODE* because he probably didnt use it once in his playthrough only for the forensic scanner
@Drake I'm srry to say this but say it doesn't sound stupid and it well ruin the pacing and difficulty of the games my guy 🤦
@@lemon___1344 In Arkham city he would use detective mode too mich in fights. He couldn't see walls and thought thugs couldn't see him through a window.
I think thats just stuipd like the dude plays too much cod or hell modern games to have that mindset 😑
After two Arkham games you'd figure that he'd know how to evade and counter
Literal baby games and this guy can't get an average combo above 5 hits lol
"I swear if he spams guns I'm gonna get fucking pissed." Okay, that was actually kind of funny. Phil managed to make me laugh with a genuine joke. Never thought I'd see the day.
yeah I know right Phil can be funny when he's not making constant sex jokes and yelling at the game
***** The only thing 'funny' about Phil would be the fact he thinks he is any good at video games.
+Misgnomer Productions You better save this video b/c this might be the only time it happens.
Something to note about Deathstrokes battle, when he attacks and you have to counter, you have to only tap the button once. If you spam the counter button, it will cancel it completely and youll take damage. You wouldnt believe how many people i know whove been stuck on that boss for weeks because they couldnt beat him
ThatGiambalvoGuy Button mashing is the No#1 cause of most game over screens. ;D
the funniest part is he gives you hints on how to beat him
sometimes the prompts don't show up that what it was for me still stuck on this boss
@@theunfamousone2818”Countering too early against Deathstroke’s counter-attacks will fail your counter.” I guess Phil forgot how to read. 💀
@@DKCGaming339Ha! As if Phil knows how to read!
I didn't even know it was possible to take that long to beat the Electrocutioner.
With DumbScrubPhil anything is possible.
mattiesensei666 Yeah, tell me about it.
Sousabird "I played Half - Life 2"Plays Black Mesa and doesn't even know who is Barney and what is crouch jump
Sousabird i literally rushed him my first time playing mashing square like it was gonna be a fight amd i had to keep him flenching
mattiesensei666 except doing shit right
The laughter of Pat from TBFP can heal cancer..... DSP's laughter causes suicide rates to climb.
And his complaining drives men to murder.
Seriously, these videos are making me want to kill someone.
He sounds like a seal who is high on PCP and LSD at the same time.
What's below a casual gamer? That's what Phil is.
not a casual gamer a 3 yr old gamer is better than phil probably
oof this was 6 yrs ago lmao
That's putting it lightly he's below Novice
"Now I'm going to embarrass you." No need, Deathstroke. He does a good job of that on his own.
You know the introduction kinda seems different from modern phil.
He sounds like he actually has an interest in the game
gotta say his memory of the past arkham games seems poor. I can clearly remember having to run for it when I did a vent takedown unless my target was the last goon in the room and I only used glide kicks if they were near a drop to make them go night night in one swoop.

Jesus Christ, every single boss. "I don't know the pattern yet!"
PRESS COUNTER WHEN THEIR HEADS FLASH LIKE CRAZY.
Pattern solved.
He doesn't get the concept of stealth in the Arham and Metal Gear Solid games.
And that is the point to check your surroundings and most of all, be patient and think your tactics.
"What the... there's an intruder in the building?" Yes Phil, what the fuck do you think you're doing right now?
So pressing Y when a prompt tells you to is an example of trial and error playthrough, and requires memorizing a pattern?
I guess I shouldn't be shocked at this point, considering this is the same guy who called lining up three squares in blade mode a "puzzle slash."
He also called the "sneaking past the guards to save Gordon" in AA "a sneak puzzle."
As a longtime Arkham player this is just sad.
I flatlined when he said "if he spams guns I'm gonna be pissed!" That injustice salt lmfao!!!!!!!
I love how there are button prompts basically telling him what to do in the Deathstroke fight and he's like "It's trial and error"
I was half expecting him to lose the electrocutioner fight
You can actually lose against the Elctrocutioner?
6:55 Yes, fly DIRECTLY into the sniper's laser sight. That's totally not going to get you killed.
That elecrocutioner fight played by DSP : I have never facepalmed this hard since the Mass Effect 3 ending
DSP's battleplan: punch,punch,punch
there is no countering, evade, stun, beatdown, special takedown.... just punch, punch,punch,
Pretty much DSP standard for every game.
9:52 First time I played this game, I immediately knew what to do. I just ran up to Electrocutioner and pressed the attack button. I was surprised that he went down with one blow, but at least I didn't overthink the encounter. DSP logic: overthink the situation and lay down traps your opponent won't fall for.

And if you play the Xbox version you get a Deathstroke avatar costume for beating him for not taking damage which is a nice bonus.

3 GAMES IN AND HE STILL MASHES BUTTONS WHILE FIGHTING, HOW DOES HE NOT KNOW ABOUT THE MULTIPLYER? this is so painful to watch
1:31:06 That filled my heart with joy.
Jesus, the Deathstroke fight isn't hard at all! Wow, this guy...
yup he is a big fat baby. Can't believe people like and watch him...
Oh hi Dave.
@Jan Michael Vincent um how actually 🤨
He has zero patience. How can you be so bad at countering? Is the easiest countering in any game ever
7:03 holy shit, that laugh...
In 0:54 Phil says he grew up with Batman? Didn't he say in his hateful truth review for Arkham City that he was a more of a Marvel guy?
You can like Marvel and still "grow up" with Batman.
the deathstroke fails gets funnier each time and Deathstroke taunting Phil makes it so much funnier
7:18 Phil transfomed into a seagull ?? XD
This guy doesn't use Detective mode, can't counter properly, dies to Deathstroke! and also never uses silent takedowns.
Yup, can't wait for his Arkham Knight playthrough.
He spent THAT LONG on Deathstroke!? It's a fun fight, but not that hard. You just gotta punch him and counter when the prompt shows.
"DO YOU WANNA PLAY THE FUCKING GAME!"
8:00 "Original character, random electric guy."
Fuck, Electrocutioner has been in the Batman comics since the fucking 80s. I hate when Phil pretends he's some huge Batman afficionado when he didn't even recognize at the very least freaking Killer Croc on installation screen of Arkham Asylum.

He seems to never use takedowns and then wonders why peon fights are so long and tedious.
How the fuck did he died on Deathstroke's fight??
its phil he always finds a way to fuck up
I lost against him but that was because I wasn't countering at the right times but I learned and I succeeded more times than this guy
***** don't you mean "If there's a Phil there's a way"
I did just an hour ago, playing it for the first time. It was a bit hard to time the counters at times and kinda had you memorize his patterns. I only took three tries, the second of which I came pretty close, but I actually consider it one of my favorite boss fights in the Arkham series; almost up there with Mr. Freeze in City.
But honestly, having seen the playthroughs of Asylum and City, I really don't think this guy knows what he's doing :p

I remember how epic the Deathstroke Batman fight was back in the day. Sadly Phillip won’t remember that fight as epic xD
I can't believe this video is featured in DSP Christmas Special 2013.
The title should have been "I pressed Y!"
"Flawed technique" hahaha
Deathstroke's comments make it even more hilarious

“I’ve seen your act”
Yeah penguins seen Phil’s Batman die many times
He actually ruin's such an amazing boss fight (Deathstroke) No doubt one of my favourite boss battles in gaming -.-! It's actually painful to watch, he spams the attack button and complains why he can't counter, that's the point of the Deathstroke battle, its all about timing, and watching him and analysing and looking for opening's that's not spamming the attack button and the counter button, and after he reads the hint, starts spamming the batclaw quickfire button! -.- and as for using explosive gel at the beginning of the battle don't get me started on that! -.-! Thats one thing that pisses me off about DSP he's probably the reason games are getting easier and all the old games are adding all these new features to make it easier, take MGSV with the marking system and the reflex mode, Yeah I know they can be turned off but thats not the point, all the games are adding these new features that make it easier, for idiots like DSP and other children that have no patience & have the attention span of a fish
I would love to see Phil attempt I Am the Night mode.
how does he not know by now the glide kick causes noise
Crappy villain? Firefly is the best thing Arkham Origins got right! HE IS VOICED BY ALUCARD!

Man, Deathstroke completely fucked Phil's world up.

haha made my day!
I usually don't give Phil any leeway, but the combat is less polished than the Rocksteady games.

While this is true, it's still no excuse. The game is piss easy compared to those games, almost as if the guys making it KNEW they somehow managed to fuck up the prepackaged combat system that was already perfect and gift wrapped for them, and thus made everything else more or less shit just to compensate.
Now that I agree with. Except for when my combos get dropped because a guy was standing on a garbage pile in the open world. But yeah considering how easy it actually was to power through and get things like the Injustice skin I'm surprised at how easy the game was outside of combat glitches.
Still mad they yanked out the Worst Nightmare skin for those who made it to 100% though.
Why do he always clear his throat in every video he begins
It's not like he's going to say anything interesting
LOL
I hope he wasn't trying to be funny with the explosive gel before the DEeathsroke fight. It wasn't funny, it was annoying
“Get the badminton”
What's the point in complaining about losing a combo when he never uses the finishers that automatically take a guy out and make the fights significantly easier?
After all this I think it can be safely said that Phil is not vengeance. Nor is he in any way the night.
1:05:35 gee, Phil, it's almost like, this was very early in Batman's career, and he was training to get better still. HMMMMMM
Been waiting for this one. Great job so far.
Wow, this somehow made me want to play Arkham Origins.
Thanks, Phil???
Phil camping under the floor grates when he's taking out enemies once and blames the game.
Phil having problems with Deathstroke, I can understand. It took me multiple tries to get the counters timed right...and I still took damage. However, I never had a problem with Copperhead. In fact I thought she was the easiest boss in the game, which is funny because I kept failing with the blade counters.
Spam the concussion detonator and she’s even easier. That’s the one part of the game where that stupid gadget is useful.
BTW, 21% of this video is JUST the Deathstroke fight. More than one fifth.
Phil has a patience of an 8 year old ADHD child.
Yes, Phil, I'm sure Troy Baker insisted on singing during the credits. It was all his idea and was in no way an allusion to Mark Hamill singing during the credits of the previous game. Great catch.
Moron.
Lemme guess, at some point there was nothing he can do. I love these videos.
This vid on his DSP's Christmas 2013 Special
Trial and error? More like trial of errors.
More like trial of our patience, and constant human error from phil. Because phil is nothing but human error. Never does anything right, ever.
47:30 Ugh, he doesn't know the definition of "concussion," he thinks it just means that you get knocked out. So terrible.
I usually don't want to comment on videos like this, but i wanted to punch something when he's whining about getting seen eventhough he is "impossible to see" YOU ARE WALKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM...Gaaah
AMEN!
I feel you man
My dad was playing this and he was having trouble with Deathstroke. (My dad isn't a gamer and hasn't really played a game since the n64 era) So, he asked me to try and beat him because he was having trouble on the last phase with the sword. On my first try I beat Deathstroke with ease and only got hit twice.
Phil plays games all day and sucks at it. Can't believe he had this much trouble with Deathstroke when the game tells you what to do in conflicts.
:Gets shot at while in Crate:
:Stays In Crate:
It”s like the mini boss fight with Norton in Bully, where Phil goes up against
a guy swinging a giant hammer using just his fists.
He has batarangs, why doesn’t he do ranged attacks?
It's Phil. He once tried to fight a legendary sniper at close range with a shotgun and was annoyed at the fact that it wasn't simple to close range a sniper
I doubt Phil will ever read this, but here goes. Phil, the reason you keep getting your ass kicked when you try to do the ground takedown is because it has a very long startup animation of roughly 1 second (counting the part where Batman moves towards the enemy) and cannot be canceled out of once it is started until the latter stages of the cooldown phase. This is also the reason enemies keep getting up, as they are not knocked out until the active phase of the animation, which is during the part that, again, cannot be cancelled and takes roughly 1 second to perform. You're throwing this move out in the middle of a fight against a large group. 1 second of vulnerability is the perfect time to punish your opponent. That is what the AI is doing: Punishing you for being stupid. So stop being stupid. You have a fighting game background. You should know this.
And I hope this is because the This Is How You Don't Play videos edit stuff for time, but this is the first video from the three Arkham games where I've seen you use the Instant Takedown. If this is accurate, and again, I hope it is not, that means it took you until the third game of the series to finally use the single most useful melee attack in the entire series.
Finally, you are once again mashing the attack button like it's the only move you have. Stop it. In action games and fighting games, mashers get their asses kicked. You're getting your ass kicked. It's easy to see why.
I know is completely impossible for these playthroughs (If can be called that), but sometimes i wanna know what the chat says when DSP whines and makes excuses. Do they whiteknight him? Do they throw some logic remarks in a passive, unoffensive way?
When people who have a brain call him out in the chat all the subscribers/mods/fanboys either ban you from talking again or say "if you don't like it don't watch it". Sometimes when Phil says the games too hard half of them agree because they're ultra casual kiddies.
1:24:19 I think Copperhead was talking to Phil.
He "loved them"? People loved his walkthroughs? What?
When Phil is involved, logic=out the fucking window.
It's weird. I like your profile pic though.
I loved it. His failures sure make for a good laugh, lol
Lucario The Epic With any other youtuber maybe, but Phil is just so mind-bogglingly stupid that he make most people want to lobotomize themselves with an icepick.
epicsauceness100 It blows the mind, doesn't it? I didn't think it was possible to be that dumb until my friend showed me one of his videos. It gets to the point where he can't even read simple instructions. AND he calls the game buggy. Other youtubers' failures don't even come CLOSE to this guy.
Edit: Also, his salty tears are so delicious.
I just started up a new playthrough of Arkham Origins (planning another chronological series run) and just beat Deathstroke, which of course brought me back to this video, haha. I think it's hilarious how the one Arkham boss battle Phil had the most trouble with was the one that REALLY punishes you for button mashing (well, except the bits where you're supposed to mash the button to counter his blows and then give him a flurry of punches). If you fight Slade the way you're supposed to, he's actually fairly easy, but if you just mindlessly mash buttons, he'll eat you for lunch. And we all know what Phil's favorite (read: only) tactic is when it comes to hand to hand combat, or hell fighting games in general... not to mention he relies way too much on the damn Batclaw trick and doesn't use his combo takedowns! It's so frustrating, his combo multiplier is glowing yellow and practically screaming "Hey, I'm ready! Use me!" and Phil doesn't bother and misses an instant easy damaging attack.
And how sad that Phil would call this game a "cheap cash in piece of shit" later. Granted he's not alone in that opinion (though the game's gained more appreciation in recent years, and I personally LOVE it), but we just know Phil's reason for this is that he's salty that "Captain Cocksucker/Dickstroke/The Human Queef" trolled him...
Wow... Phil ruined the best boss fight in the game and called it terrible because he sucks at the game.
22:20 somehow despite his god awful gameplay he managed to do one of the most beautiful counterattacks I've ever seen.
In the game, Batman is a couple years into his career. DSP is making it look like it's his first week.
DSP and button mashing go hand in hand.
He's the reason why devs just LOVE putting in annoying QTE sequences in games.
42:09 I wasn’t even aware that deathstroke would even shoot you if you ran away. You learn something new but watching this overgrown child play.
This guy has the situational awareness of a tree stump.
Batman is anything but enigmatic. In the imaginary DC universe sure, but not to the reader like he is interpreting it. He is not mysterious to the reader, why he is what he is isn't difficult to understand at all. To be fair, I am only playing Batman Arkham Knight currently on EASY difficulty, but that is primarily because I really only want to experience the story at this point, I already played through half the game last year on normal and said screw it this time (not that normal is hard, but still, I just wanted to breeze through and experience the story).
Oh how I wish they would make a Joker focused game. You could make it work by having Batman held hostage and going to be killed soon. Joker, having the relationship he does with Batman, feels slighted at this and of course feels HE should be the one to kill the Bat, so he has to rescue him so they can start their game anew. You can get more brutal too, not too brutal but with the Joker you have to step the crazy up.
1:12:20 I laughed so hard at that.
I dont think ive seen a harder fail than that in a video game.
That was a good laugh
6:59 Going down!!!!
