Puts sorcerer on the front line. Tries to hide the rogue in broad daylight. Does ranged attacks in melee range. Targets distant enemies with melee attacks while next to other enemies. Targets self and allies without realizing it. I've seen this man cast spells that give advantage while under the status effect of conditions that give disadvantage (negating the advantage AND wasting a spell slot). I almost feel like he's bad on purpose so he can have an excuse to not play this game.
And then he uploads the unedited footage and calls it a playthrough... Nobody can get any information from one of Phil's play through. Other than this is how you don't play that game.

That’s fucking bullshit!” “You see every-time I try to walk I fall, like I have legs why am I falling? that’s not fair!” “Can I not eat solid food? I see other people eating regular food, but I can’t? This is starting to piss me off”

“Oh a shadow of a dragon just went over us. It wont let me look up to see the dragon! Great game design guys!” He’s so *dumb* the shadow is the games way of showing you that *because* it’s not the kind of game that lets you look up.

There's one thing I will comment on magic missile isn't a crutch it's one of the best damaging spells in the game it's a casters bread and butter. It's one of those spells you take all the time it's that damn good.
for sure. magic missile being guaranteed damage that you can scale to your wish with the cast level and being able to be distributed among multiple targets is insanely strong. quite frankly its a bit too good, always end up using it. spellsparkler, reverberation and the illuminated+2dmg ring is stupid. if you have high illithid level you can also use it to abuse cull the weak to an absurd degree. all in all i would say its a very robust spell
"It's one of those spells you take all the time it's that damn good." i mean, most people would define that as a crutch. it's something you _have_ to take with you. magic missile is a great spell but it's also a great example of WotC's awful (lack of) game design philosophy. they're completely allergic to change if it means changing one of the things they view as "iconic" for the brand (sacred cows). they have hyped themselves into a corner by being "the definitive tabletop RPG" and are too afraid of criticism for all the wrong reasons. they literally think that people will stop playing the game if they can't beat the average DM's adventure by casting fireball in every room. this is why fireball is absurdly high value, given its spell level and damage dice. in game terms, you're just plain stupid if you don't take the spell. it's sad, really, they'd rather pidgeonhole casters into a few spells for the sake of "i cast fiyabawl" and "i cast haste" than actually balance the game. then they nerfed all the other spells to make it _seem_ like they've balanced the game.
even sadder is that one of the games this guy is actually "good" at is FF6, he made a playthrough of it and it's probably the only one where he gives useful commentary and information, but he's still somehow unaware
The fact that Phil sold Astarion out to the vampire hunter made it all the more perfect when he leaves Phil's party with all his shit. And he was shocked that Astarion would leave? He literally sold him out for no other reason than a cheap laugh. What an idiot.
Astarion leaving Phil with all of his good items is one of the most beautifully karmatic things to happen to him. And there was nothing he could do about it 😂
As someone who had 0 experience with DnD, I had to put in some hours to really understand wtf was going on in this game but Jesus. The fact that he's hours into the game and doesn't even understand opportunity attacks is mind-blowing.
"GAWD why do I have to PLAY THESE GAMES DOOD! There's no hulk hogan or matching colors and shapes like a REAL GAME DOOD!" I'm amazed there's still people giving him money.
I gotta admit, Dipshitphil whiffing non-stop against the most random and basic of enemies is very amusing XD I also love how his chat is saying that him failing and floundering is entertaining yet _he's_ complaining and saying it's trash XD If it wasn't already obvious that people want to see him fail and suffer instead of succeeding XD Side-note: When he was stupid enough to antagonize Vlaakith, the fact that she kills the player with the "Wish" spell just further proves that she's no goddess, just a very powerful caster. Any strong enough Wizard can use that spell XD
my favorite is when he makes the classic rookie mistake of saving himself into a position where he has 10 health and has to kill an entire room full of monsters to get any back.
As someone with hundreds of hours in bg3 and even played a ton of early access i couldnt watch his bg3 playthrough raw. Thanks for making it manageable with funny edits 👍 doing the lords work!
42:10 "Your mother attacked me, I had no intention of fighting" as he engaged in combat because he failed to click sneak attack with Astarion, then failed to threaten the owlbear into submission... dear lord.
im not even 10 minutes in and im loving this, man. The editing style, the info you give us, this is a good TIHYDP, be proud, this is amazing EDIT: thank you so much for blurring out the tip total garbage, no one bothers to do that, so the fact you did shows the effort
Wow, didn't think this was your first TIHYDP until I read the description, well done. No fluff, good meme edits. Makes for very meaningful, kwuality khantent.
I have never skipped ahead in a TIHYDP as aggressively as that Harpy encounter. Fucking hell, if he stopped waffling for a solid 30 seconds or more after every individual input it might've been over in a reasonable amount of time.
I wonder how much it would blow DSP's mind that boxing matches, where sometimes they're only 6 inches apart don't have a 100% hit rate. Like fuck man, use half a brain cell of imagination there not going to sit there and take it.
When DSP wastes a spell slot on a bird that was exhausted and had perfect health was just honestly the most stupidest thing I seen someone do in this game. 10/10 stupidity
Lol, I find it funny how Phil is quite literally inept at EVERY single game he tries to play. I mean it! Somehow, some way, he'll always find the objectively slowest, suboptimal ways to slog through any game unfortunate enough to pop inside of his console. In a weird way, I gotta give him props. It takes genuine talent to suck ass at SO MANY video games.
I intended on playing the game but didn’t have the means so I waited and now watching HOLY CRAP. I’ve been an eternal DM for 6 years and this dude would be awful to play with. Not bothering to try to understand to hit bonus and AC, complete lack of imagination, whines when things don’t go completely his way, thinks just b/c it’s 65% he can’t fail. Has no interest in the story, or fellow players/NPCs. Yikes. Also turning off something to prevent multiple fails in a row and bitching about just that, yet still refuses to change again. I’m only past the grove and going into the underdark now but I’m having an absolute blast. Even restarting after I realized I made some mistakes and felt A ok with restarting 20 hours in
Bro he would have fucking HATED Minthara. If he thought Astorian was evil Minthara would have been worse and unlike Astorian, Minthara is a beautiful and attractive babe and we all know that beautiful women scare Phil.
@@JoeyCentral She's also similar to Lae'Zel and is rather straight forward with her sexual advances if you get her approval high enough, Minthara's lines about Dark Elf society being a matriarchy would probably get under his skin.
@@chaptermastermarneuscalgar6926 soo true. He would be ranting “ohhh here we go again with the horny 14 year old sex crap!” Meanwhile he giggles like a little girl as his character is getting a gay wedding with Halsin. I honestly think he is a closeted homosexual at this point and is in denial of it. Theres no way that there is any love with him and that disgusting blob of a wife he has, so it is clearly just a facade.
Phil turning karmic dice off was from a guide. There are several guides that claim turning off karmic dice increase your chances to succeed on dice rolls . I remember my first playthrough of BG3 and my gods I was bad, but even with guides and chat handholding him the entire way, he still manages to fail in such a spectacular way
i love how many awful gaming guides there are online, he probably got it from a random IGN guide or something. i remember looking up the best way to beat Ancient Dragon in Dark Souls 2, and i clicked on an IGN guide. i was trying to do this late in the first playthrough, so around SL 90 or something, and i found it to be too difficult. the fucking clown in the guide was SL 200, meaning he had over double the stats that I had and I would have to grind for an insane length of time to get that. most people who take the game seriously don't go past 125, even when you restart the game and it becomes harder
He really saved scummed because he wants to gamble more, let's be honest. He loves getting pixel rewarded for gambling. Never wanting a fight or struggle.
Watching this after becoming intimately familiar with BG3 and seeing him seemingly refuse to engage with the mechanics at play, or try to become invested in the story or world, kind of breaks my heart. Oh, not for him or his senses that have been so clearly fogged by years of being DSP, for this game that desperately deserves better than his "guiding" hand.
"She's a high half elf cleric...I'm gonna assume that means magician" His first episode energy is obnoxious. You could tell right off the bat that he hated this game.
I think his constant complaining is because he is intensely insecure, so it get be his fault if he misunderstood a rule, made a bad decision, or didnt read a feature. Also, he is so incredibly unlucky it just adds to the hilarity of it. "I want fair dice rolls" "grrr why do this dice not roll what I want"
2:59:20 This is the kind of thing that makes Phil so fascinating to me. I at first was going to give him a bit of credit for actually thinking ahead for once by clearing out all the exploding mushrooms with a chain reaction rather than risk going through the field, a surprisingly smart move coming from Phil (shame about the collateral i guess). And then Phil started showing... surprise that the exploding mushroom he blew up next to a bunch of other exploding mushrooms caused a chain reaction? What? How? What was he expecting to happen? What was his actual plan here? How did this not occur to him? Was he planning to seriously just explode all the mushrooms one by one? Does he not understand how explosions work? This whole sequence baffles me... 3:24:08 Also Phil didn't get Slow, he always was
“Well no one’s really aiding so I’m just going to guess” pig lagoon: “I don’t know what to do but no one is telling me what to do so now I can blame you all when I make the wrong choice”
He hates when it gives him a block of text to read because of his eyesight and attention span. He doesn't like when the games give him a tutorial mission either. The only ones he actually likes are when it integrates the tutorial into the gameplay.
3:12:53 the game is not insanely clunky. I play on series X. I find they did a fantastic job with console. Yes, this game is best played on pc with mouse and keys. But they did great. And it’s super smooth. Sometimes you have to right thumb click so you can move your curser around to make sure you click on the right thing. But it’s great. He should choose place item in world, instead of drop item. But like you’ve been saying, we all know Phil can’t think, even though at anytime he can pick up a controller and play any game at a professional level. Lol
As a PS5 playeer I fully agree. While not 100% the same as mouse and keyboard. Larian did pretty much a perfect job of making the game playable with a controller.
It's funny there's a 9 out of 10 chance that whenever I continue this video I'll hear "I missed! It was a 60 percent chance and I missed! Critical miss, miss" lmaoo
“Nobody beat this game. They’re all lying.” I’ve beaten the game twice and gotten to Baldur’s Gate with two origin characters and a dark urge (the dark urge I’m restarting because mods didn’t work with the last patch and I don’t mind that much because I have fun with this game I learned the mechanics of and enjoy greatly.) Just say it’s not your kind of game man. Sheesh.
2:18:08 is so perfect it could be a song Phil "it's a broken game mechanic they can't see me" The game everyone spotted in A CLEARLY LIT AREA Absolutely classic
I’m gonna be honest, I never knew you could smash his ass with the forge. I always just slowly took him down while reactivating the lava flow to weaken him
Experience DSP watchers... Does DSP EVER stop complaining? If the slightest thing doesn't go his way, he immediately complains and calls the game trash, even when it is his own stupid decisions... Its infuriating lol
@@theblackcousintoast to that man. Been kind of watching comps of Phil just being a bitch cause he sucks at games. Up until recently, never watched his content or even knew he existed till two years ago
@@theblackcousini understand why he has detractors. I thought people were being hard on the guy, but man every time he opens his mouth it grinds my gears.
he actually used to be better, or at least more entertaining, when he didn't have stream chat to hold his hand, but he was well known for insulting game developers to an absurd degree for what amounts to his own stupidity, MGS being the most famous example
he makes me so angry when he bitches about crashing when hes really babyman raging at a game, "AND NOW IT CRASHED MY WHOLE PWAYSTASHUN", like he actually doesn't suck, its the game dood.
Him assuming that Shadowheart wants to do the biz makes perfect sense. All the companions throw themselves at you one after the other at the same time and most of them are pretty much demanding you drop your pants right then and there. So thinking she's asking for the exact same thing at the exact same time just in a little more coy fashion is not irrational in any way.
3:42:53 "She's done absolutely nothing, zero actions in the story to make you believe a single word she said" Except... you know... literally protecting you from the influence of the Absolute this entire time...
1:43:48 the way he’s acting leads me to believe he did that on purpose. Some of the stuff Phil found on his first playthrough couldn’t have happened without a guide. I’m almost 100 percent sure this denthead read a guide.
Makes 6 figures. "WHATS TURN BASED MODEEEEE DERRRRRRRRRRR!?!?!?!" Its 100% self explanatory philbert. Its a mode, stay with me here, that is TURN BASED. *Mind Blown*
I love how Phil's "guessing" about a game he's playing crazy levels of late. Phil, just say you read a guide and the guide told you who/what the dream visitor is and that's why you dont trust them. You keep claiming that you're on a spoiler free run, but several actions of yours and your "thoughts" magically leading you to decisions that for someone not spoiled on actions taking part in Act 3, its pretty hard to believe that you havent been spoiled on the entire game.
2:05:30 rough timestamp for the worst misunderstanding of Gale’s storyline I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Easily my favorite part of the video just for how competently stupid he is
For the bit where he jumps into the pit in the spider cave to reach the underdark, its not entirely stupid if you use Featherfall, the game clearly thought about it since there's a special animation for jumping with Featherfall. Although I don't think DSP would really think that far ahead
that was one of my favorite moments in the game, being a long time D&D fan and thinking to myself "what if I cast feather fall before jumping in?" and it gave me a whole cutscene just to reward me
I’m not gonna lie the fight against the gray guys at the Grymforge made me mauld too lol. At least i’m playing on tactician so it’s bit more justifiable.
He should play a fighter champion specifically not saying he’d be good at it but he would have less options to worry about A source I mean, there’s a lot to take into consideration, you don’t have as many spells as a wizard, but you do have ways to optimize each individual spell
turning off karmic rolls is actually a terrible idea. i'd consider myself an old school gamer but in a PC game it just amounts to you quickloading more frequently, unless you want to do some kind of ironman challenge run.
@@CrizzyEyes thats completely fair if you wanna play it more like a videogame. i play dnd and i treated the game like a normal session. if i fuck up a roll, oh well, unlucky. i just have to live with the outcome. but thats fun for me & i get that its not for everyone, so im glad the devs put karmic dice in as an option
Remember dsp rage quit xcom eu. I guess his mindset hasn't changed. Another thing with dsp on the topic of romance has dsp never been romantic with anyone besides his horse? Some people flirt or jump straight into sexual stuff. Its normal.
Holy crap... I'm one hour in, and this is painful to watch. I still continue, though, because I'm apparently a masochist. And because the commentary is hilarious. 😃 His audacity to blame the game for _everything_, while he clearly lacks the necessary gaming and basic reading skills is amazing. (In the worst possible sense.) Big up for your persistence to suffer yourself through his streams and make the commentary so we can enjoy(?) it @JK369
Incidentally you left out the part of his "hype is just for the launch" where it was something like 2 weeks after the "lauwnchuh", since he put a 5-7 day break between each stream of BG3.
The parasite in Phil's head is gonna die of starvation

As someone who had 0 experience with DnD, I had to put in some hours to really understand wtf was going on in this game but Jesus. The fact that he's hours into the game and doesn't even understand opportunity attacks is mind-blowing.
I had no D&D experience and got things pretty quickly. Phil is confused by mechanics in Hr 100 introduced in Hr 2
“You literally just cant play this game” I’d love to see Phil try to beat the game on honour mode without his precious saves 🤣
I just tried recently and got destroyed
@@left-2-write28 it’s so fun tho. I got to 300 hours total and didnt get past act 1 on any of my characters 🤣
"GAWD why do I have to PLAY THESE GAMES DOOD! There's no hulk hogan or matching colors and shapes like a REAL GAME DOOD!"
I'm amazed there's still people giving him money.
Wow easy there, let's not call them dentheads "people", they don't deserve that title yet.
searched this on a whim, I was not disappointed.
The music and montage of him fumbling the forge made me ack ack ack with laughter. Fantastic edits bro, always a fun watch.
I cant wait to fully finish this game so i can watch how terribly he does without spoilers
I can't tell you, how long I've waited for someone to do a "This is how you don't play" of this game. Thank you.
I have avoided any his BG3 content cuz i love DnD and BG3 so much and i am going to rage seeing him play this.
I gotta admit, Dipshitphil whiffing non-stop against the most random and basic of enemies is very amusing XD
I also love how his chat is saying that him failing and floundering is entertaining yet _he's_ complaining and saying it's trash XD If it wasn't already obvious that people want to see him fail and suffer instead of succeeding XD
Side-note: When he was stupid enough to antagonize Vlaakith, the fact that she kills the player with the "Wish" spell just further proves that she's no goddess, just a very powerful caster. Any strong enough Wizard can use that spell XD
He has saved a lot in this, and in Fallout, but his Doom 2 playthrough was the height of save abuse. He literally saved seconds apart at times.
my favorite is when he makes the classic rookie mistake of saving himself into a position where he has 10 health and has to kill an entire room full of monsters to get any back.
As someone with hundreds of hours in bg3 and even played a ton of early access i couldnt watch his bg3 playthrough raw. Thanks for making it manageable with funny edits 👍 doing the lords work!
this is more of a "dents' chat play bg3" rather than just a TIHYDP XD
42:10 "Your mother attacked me, I had no intention of fighting" as he engaged in combat because he failed to click sneak attack with Astarion, then failed to threaten the owlbear into submission... dear lord.
At least he is right about 1 thing .....magic missile does not miss. 🤣🤣
Nobody told me Tusk the pig was voiced by Phil 😂
im not even 10 minutes in and im loving this, man. The editing style, the info you give us, this is a good TIHYDP, be proud, this is amazing
EDIT: thank you so much for blurring out the tip total garbage, no one bothers to do that, so the fact you did shows the effort
50:55 was unexpected and fkn hilarious
This was as fascinating and amusing as it is infuriating. Thank you for your self-sacrifice in editing this for us. I grant you **Inspiration**.
1:33:20 you really expect phil to empathize with a person in need of a donation to save his life? Cahm on man get real!
Wow, didn't think this was your first TIHYDP until I read the description, well done. No fluff, good meme edits. Makes for very meaningful, kwuality khantent.
I have never skipped ahead in a TIHYDP as aggressively as that Harpy encounter. Fucking hell, if he stopped waffling for a solid 30 seconds or more after every individual input it might've been over in a reasonable amount of time.
I wonder how much it would blow DSP's mind that boxing matches, where sometimes they're only 6 inches apart don't have a 100% hit rate. Like fuck man, use half a brain cell of imagination there not going to sit there and take it.
Tbf DarkScalePhil is pretty good
When DSP wastes a spell slot on a bird that was exhausted and had perfect health was just honestly the most stupidest thing I seen someone do in this game. 10/10 stupidity
turns off karmic hahaha
And he almost got an aneurysm during Bugbear Assassin encounter...
Lol, I find it funny how Phil is quite literally inept at EVERY single game he tries to play. I mean it! Somehow, some way, he'll always find the objectively slowest, suboptimal ways to slog through any game unfortunate enough to pop inside of his console. In a weird way, I gotta give him props. It takes genuine talent to suck ass at SO MANY video games.
50:58 - nice.
Really good TIHYDP-style video btw. Very robust and meaningful.
everytime i keep coming back to this vid because every 5 damn minutes theres a "did he really just do that?? i need to take a break from this-" moment
I intended on playing the game but didn’t have the means so I waited and now watching HOLY CRAP.
I’ve been an eternal DM for 6 years and this dude would be awful to play with. Not bothering to try to understand to hit bonus and AC, complete lack of imagination, whines when things don’t go completely his way, thinks just b/c it’s 65% he can’t fail. Has no interest in the story, or fellow players/NPCs. Yikes. Also turning off something to prevent multiple fails in a row and bitching about just that, yet still refuses to change again.
I’m only past the grove and going into the underdark now but I’m having an absolute blast. Even restarting after I realized I made some mistakes and felt A ok with restarting 20 hours in
2:29:52 Typical DSP reads a guide or got told by his chat and he still fucks up his attempt at recruit Minthara.
Bro he would have fucking HATED Minthara. If he thought Astorian was evil Minthara would have been worse and unlike Astorian, Minthara is a beautiful and attractive babe and we all know that beautiful women scare Phil.
@@JoeyCentral She's also similar to Lae'Zel and is rather straight forward with her sexual advances if you get her approval high enough, Minthara's lines about Dark Elf society being a matriarchy would probably get under his skin.
@@chaptermastermarneuscalgar6926 soo true. He would be ranting “ohhh here we go again with the horny 14 year old sex crap!” Meanwhile he giggles like a little girl as his character is getting a gay wedding with Halsin.
I honestly think he is a closeted homosexual at this point and is in denial of it. Theres no way that there is any love with him and that disgusting blob of a wife he has, so it is clearly just a facade.
Phil turning karmic dice off was from a guide. There are several guides that claim turning off karmic dice increase your chances to succeed on dice rolls . I remember my first playthrough of BG3 and my gods I was bad, but even with guides and chat handholding him the entire way, he still manages to fail in such a spectacular way
i love how many awful gaming guides there are online, he probably got it from a random IGN guide or something. i remember looking up the best way to beat Ancient Dragon in Dark Souls 2, and i clicked on an IGN guide. i was trying to do this late in the first playthrough, so around SL 90 or something, and i found it to be too difficult. the fucking clown in the guide was SL 200, meaning he had over double the stats that I had and I would have to grind for an insane length of time to get that. most people who take the game seriously don't go past 125, even when you restart the game and it becomes harder
He really saved scummed because he wants to gamble more, let's be honest. He loves getting pixel rewarded for gambling. Never wanting a fight or struggle.
Man I want to be the villain in a world where DSP is the hero.
I wouldn't even have to do anything and I'd conquer entire worlds.
Phil surprised at his first game over saying it's too nuanced and beginner unfriendly while he was just chillin' in the necrotic aura is hilarious
Watching this after becoming intimately familiar with BG3 and seeing him seemingly refuse to engage with the mechanics at play, or try to become invested in the story or world, kind of breaks my heart.
Oh, not for him or his senses that have been so clearly fogged by years of being DSP, for this game that desperately deserves better than his "guiding" hand.
"She's a high half elf cleric...I'm gonna assume that means magician"
His first episode energy is obnoxious. You could tell right off the bat that he hated this game.
Damn son, even the dice gods don't like Phil, lmao.
Get him harpies. Also sanctuary the boy helps alot
I think his constant complaining is because he is intensely insecure, so it get be his fault if he misunderstood a rule, made a bad decision, or didnt read a feature.
Also, he is so incredibly unlucky it just adds to the hilarity of it. "I want fair dice rolls" "grrr why do this dice not roll what I want"
2:59:20 This is the kind of thing that makes Phil so fascinating to me. I at first was going to give him a bit of credit for actually thinking ahead for once by clearing out all the exploding mushrooms with a chain reaction rather than risk going through the field, a surprisingly smart move coming from Phil (shame about the collateral i guess). And then Phil started showing... surprise that the exploding mushroom he blew up next to a bunch of other exploding mushrooms caused a chain reaction?
What? How? What was he expecting to happen? What was his actual plan here? How did this not occur to him? Was he planning to seriously just explode all the mushrooms one by one? Does he not understand how explosions work? This whole sequence baffles me...
3:24:08 Also Phil didn't get Slow, he always was
Nice What We Do In the Shadows clip, didn't expect that one
Holy shit this makes me feel a lot better about my playthrough
Same.
Didn't have half the problems Phil had 😂
Then again we have brains and not gin rot brain
“Well no one’s really aiding so I’m just going to guess” pig lagoon: “I don’t know what to do but no one is telling me what to do so now I can blame you all when I make the wrong choice”
Why does he even bother putting tutorials on if he's not going to read any of it?... Every single damn game.
He hates when it gives him a block of text to read because of his eyesight and attention span. He doesn't like when the games give him a tutorial mission either. The only ones he actually likes are when it integrates the tutorial into the gameplay.
Remember when he played doom eternal and was fighting the marauder, he read the small tutorial out loud but somehow didnt know what to do.
3:12:53 the game is not insanely clunky. I play on series X. I find they did a fantastic job with console. Yes, this game is best played on pc with mouse and keys. But they did great. And it’s super smooth. Sometimes you have to right thumb click so you can move your curser around to make sure you click on the right thing. But it’s great. He should choose place item in world, instead of drop item. But like you’ve been saying, we all know Phil can’t think, even though at anytime he can pick up a controller and play any game at a professional level. Lol
As a PS5 playeer I fully agree. While not 100% the same as mouse and keyboard.
Larian did pretty much a perfect job of making the game playable with a controller.
It's funny there's a 9 out of 10 chance that whenever I continue this video I'll hear "I missed! It was a 60 percent chance and I missed! Critical miss, miss" lmaoo
“Nobody beat this game. They’re all lying.”
I’ve beaten the game twice and gotten to Baldur’s Gate with two origin characters and a dark urge (the dark urge I’m restarting because mods didn’t work with the last patch and I don’t mind that much because I have fun with this game I learned the mechanics of and enjoy greatly.)
Just say it’s not your kind of game man. Sheesh.
Not only that there is the percentage of players who got the trophy for beating the game lol. This man’s veins are filled with cope.
keep this a series please this has me rollin😂🙏🏾
The ddf Dent defense force in the conents is in full swing, lol.
"Theres no need to put a tabpole into this one, theres no intelligence behind it."
2:18:08 is so perfect it could be a song
Phil "it's a broken game mechanic they can't see me"
The game everyone spotted in A CLEARLY LIT AREA
Absolutely classic
I’m gonna be honest, I never knew you could smash his ass with the forge. I always just slowly took him down while reactivating the lava flow to weaken him
Experience DSP watchers... Does DSP EVER stop complaining? If the slightest thing doesn't go his way, he immediately complains and calls the game trash, even when it is his own stupid decisions... Its infuriating lol
That’s been DSP for 16 years
@@theblackcousintoast to that man. Been kind of watching comps of Phil just being a bitch cause he sucks at games. Up until recently, never watched his content or even knew he existed till two years ago
@@theblackcousini understand why he has detractors. I thought people were being hard on the guy, but man every time he opens his mouth it grinds my gears.
he actually used to be better, or at least more entertaining, when he didn't have stream chat to hold his hand, but he was well known for insulting game developers to an absurd degree for what amounts to his own stupidity, MGS being the most famous example
No.
He was actually going to load a save because he was scared of failing a dice roll that just needed a 2 to be successful. Oh boy.
he makes me so angry when he bitches about crashing when hes really babyman raging at a game, "AND NOW IT CRASHED MY WHOLE PWAYSTASHUN", like he actually doesn't suck, its the game dood.
Phil is such a dent
The Dent Hivemind.
You’re not supposed to “know” everything that happens in a game, you’re supposed to learn.
I rawdogged all those enemies in the abandoned forge with just my party. Did I die a few times? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes.
Good grief he's so insanely inept o.o
Him assuming that Shadowheart wants to do the biz makes perfect sense. All the companions throw themselves at you one after the other at the same time and most of them are pretty much demanding you drop your pants right then and there. So thinking she's asking for the exact same thing at the exact same time just in a little more coy fashion is not irrational in any way.
16:17 the game had enough of phil’s stupidity and just closed it for him
Amazing work my guy, thank you! Can't wait to lose my sanity to this!
3:42:53 "She's done absolutely nothing, zero actions in the story to make you believe a single word she said"
Except... you know... literally protecting you from the influence of the Absolute this entire time...
1:43:48 the way he’s acting leads me to believe he did that on purpose. Some of the stuff Phil found on his first playthrough couldn’t have happened without a guide. I’m almost 100 percent sure this denthead read a guide.
It's either he is using a guide or his chat is telling him about stuff, it could also be a combination of both in his "doesn't exist" discord.
@@TheJK369lol. “Doesn’t exist” discord. That’s jokes. He’s so regarded
he does this on the regular now, it's really obvious and quite sad
The problem is, even when he reads a guide or follows fans advice, he does so poorly because he a poor reading comprehension.
Man, he hasn't bitched about a game this much since Elden Ring.
The amount of love hate you have for this npc is beautiful!
Makes 6 figures.
"WHATS TURN BASED MODEEEEE DERRRRRRRRRRR!?!?!?!"
Its 100% self explanatory philbert. Its a mode, stay with me here, that is TURN BASED. *Mind Blown*
I love how Phil's "guessing" about a game he's playing crazy levels of late. Phil, just say you read a guide and the guide told you who/what the dream visitor is and that's why you dont trust them. You keep claiming that you're on a spoiler free run, but several actions of yours and your "thoughts" magically leading you to decisions that for someone not spoiled on actions taking part in Act 3, its pretty hard to believe that you havent been spoiled on the entire game.
2:05:30 rough timestamp for the worst misunderstanding of Gale’s storyline I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Easily my favorite part of the video just for how competently stupid he is
For the bit where he jumps into the pit in the spider cave to reach the underdark, its not entirely stupid if you use Featherfall, the game clearly thought about it since there's a special animation for jumping with Featherfall. Although I don't think DSP would really think that far ahead
Btw I'm aware he does it later, but chat told him too.
that was one of my favorite moments in the game, being a long time D&D fan and thinking to myself "what if I cast feather fall before jumping in?" and it gave me a whole cutscene just to reward me
I’m not gonna lie the fight against the gray guys at the Grymforge made me mauld too lol. At least i’m playing on tactician so it’s bit more justifiable.
15:00 he sees he is taking damage, and does nothing. Did he skip gale's dialogue?
He didn't skip the dialogue he just doesn't pay attention to it
phil "I have too many options!"
me: then why on planet earth did you pick a magic based class then. options are golden when you are a magic user
Awfully brave of Dave to publicly show the world why he’s one of the worst gamers around.
1:35:46 i actually didn't know about the chair even after 300 hours so phils good for one thing
He should play a fighter champion specifically not saying he’d be good at it but he would have less options to worry about A source I mean, there’s a lot to take into consideration, you don’t have as many spells as a wizard, but you do have ways to optimize each individual spell
man, i thought i had bad rolls but jfc its actually impressive how poorly he rolls fucking constantly
turning off karmic rolls is actually a terrible idea. i'd consider myself an old school gamer but in a PC game it just amounts to you quickloading more frequently, unless you want to do some kind of ironman challenge run.
@@CrizzyEyes thats completely fair if you wanna play it more like a videogame. i play dnd and i treated the game like a normal session. if i fuck up a roll, oh well, unlucky. i just have to live with the outcome. but thats fun for me & i get that its not for everyone, so im glad the devs put karmic dice in as an option
Remember dsp rage quit xcom eu. I guess his mindset hasn't changed. Another thing with dsp on the topic of romance has dsp never been romantic with anyone besides his horse? Some people flirt or jump straight into sexual stuff. Its normal.
Holy crap... I'm one hour in, and this is painful to watch. I still continue, though, because I'm apparently a masochist. And because the commentary is hilarious. 😃 His audacity to blame the game for _everything_, while he clearly lacks the necessary gaming and basic reading skills is amazing. (In the worst possible sense.) Big up for your persistence to suffer yourself through his streams and make the commentary so we can enjoy(?) it @JK369
Incidentally you left out the part of his "hype is just for the launch" where it was something like 2 weeks after the "lauwnchuh", since he put a 5-7 day break between each stream of BG3.
