The Camera gets easily stuck when fighting big bosses, and they almost didnt changed anything between DS1-3 besides the graphics. Most items, sounds and descriptions were literally ripped out of DS1 and kept for DS3 without any thought on changing these, while not even being innovative, because Myazaki took inspiration by Castlevania Games. Not to forget that many enemys DO hit you through walls, and not even trying to start on ''multiplayer'' with non existent servers, lags like hell and stunlocks. That doesnt change the fact that Phil complains about bullshit though.

Or basically any video game that was released after the Playstation 1 since the invention of the analog. It uses snap points, basically. Where the character will ONLY turn within a certain amount of degrees being tilted by the left analog stick. AKA 8 directional movement instead of analog movement. This makes movement clumsier, inaccurate and will more often than not result to your death when doing simple platforming. This is one of many broken *fundamental* aspects of Dark Souls 2.

It's really frustrating playing with those kind of people. Them playing Dark Souls has nothing to do with it because they make mistakes that would leave them worse off in any game. Not only that, but they have to stare at the controller every time they do something like they've never used it before.

[@joepbailey]

I love that he scrubs out by getting the Drake sword then straight away gets knocks off the ledge by the rat 😂

[@NexusKin]

He couldn't even one-hand it and block with a shield because his Strength was so low.

He is actually the only person I've ever seen get pushed off of a cliff by a rat.

[@ZeroCruz_]

He just wants to cheese the game but he never learns, fakes rage and is just Garbage in ANY Game. I beat most of the Games he played in less time and lesser Deaths. I just say he's getting payed for this.

[@AHeckman118]

It actually happened to me a bunch when I was first starting out, but my problem was the exact reverse. Where Phil would pull the rats and back off into the corner, I'd run into the corridor and challenge them. Sometimes that got me chain-stunned all the way off the cliff, namely when I whiffed moves. That doesn't happen anymore, since I have a brain and am able to learn, but it did happen once upon a time.

[@ZeroCruz_]

No your problem was you where too overzealous which is how from designed it i think. You fail and you learn that is fine. You get better at times hell befor i could not beat the Nameless King alone now i had almost no trouble because i got better. His problem is he tries to cheese it in every possible way. People whould not complaine if he whould not blame the game, the guys who made it, says its a bad game if it is obviouse not, make fun of game mechanics and many more things thats why comments like mine come to life because he never learns and never pays any attention. Not to be funny now but i think he is a really bad ''Gamer'' he is not a Gamer in my eyes which whould not be a problem but he is not funny he is sexist and racist and many more. It is good you want to defend him you are a awesome person for that and better then i am because i could not defend that.

I want to say Oscar in the beginning but he said "creature" so probably the rats in the sewers near the beginning.

It was probably so completely blatant that even he actually noticed it.

[@lukejeschke]

Watching this man try and figure out the miracles was a sight to behold.

[@lukejeschke]

Omg I got to the part where’s he’s found the talisman. How the fuck does he not know that he’s needs to press L1. This man has some learning disability, there is no way any one is this moronic.

[@Gakusangi]

I see a lotta people telling Phil to go to games like CoD, GTA, Dragon's Dogma and Skyrim instead of play Dark Souls during this playthrough and in all honesty...there's video evidence of him being bad at all of them too. I don't think it's fair to blame them for how crappy he plays here, they're victims of the same player incompetence as seen here. They're not terrible games either. So don't damn them to Phil's playstyle and lack of skill, no game deserves that...except maybe Ride to Hell: Retribution.

[@CrashJC123]

Heh, Ride To Hell, what a game

[@Xxandrew01]

+Gakusangi Yeah. DSP sucks ass at Dragons Dogma. Just look at "This is how you don't play Dragons Dogma" he is fucking terrible at that game. And in some parts, he compares the challenge on Dragons Dogma to fucking Dark Souls. He is a shit gamer man and he can't play no game right.

[@Other_Kev]

I have always suspected that "Phil" is just a persona he has invented as an experiment to make the worst gamer ever, and he's taken several steps to make the world believe that Phil is a real person

[@CrashJC123]

+Kev that's a compelling theory

[@Gakusangi]

Kev That's been bouncing around for a while, regardless of it being an "act" or not, it's unwise to treat your fanbase like he does and while I could forgive him for just being a bad player, or just laugh at him being a sore loser, his treatment of his subscribers and supporters has been appalling and a bit doesn't make that okay.

[@grinckerthesoul1510]

Hidetaka Miyazaki became the president of From Software after developing Dark Souls, because he was able to make a game full of mystery, advanced combat (at least for PvE right), atmosphere, creativity, awesome lore, and with a fulfilling challenge. But then this guy comes in and says its POORLY MAAAADE

[@iamamaniaint]

I love this game too much to watch any more of this. This hurts my soul.

[@antoniosateriale2076]

Not only was he bad at this, but he also played the game in such a disrespectful way it hurts.

[@matty6796]

Gotta love how he listened to Oscars dialogue , you know the part most people kill him so they skip it, and when he was about to hand over the escus flask he killed him

[@LordFiscus]

He's using summons for Quelagg? What a pansy.

[@JaggedBird]

“He’s so angry he’s going to run all the way up here to fight me” No Phil, he’s running because he doesn’t want to even LOOK at you

[@pt8306]

"Why does he laugh at his own jokes" because nobody else will

[@Choppytehbear1337]

Are the Souls games hard? Yes. But they are also fair. 99% of the times you die, it's your fault. This is coming from someone who is not very good at DS games.

[@KitsuneYojimbo]

I'd say the only times I died unfairly in Dark Souls were the rare times where a glitch killed me. Like falling through the world after sliding down a ladder.

[@WizoIstGott]

Yeah it´s mostly fair, some Bosses are notorious for having bullshit hitboxes though. For me personally oceiros is the worst offender, pretty much every death i have on him is because of hitbox issues.

[@KitsuneYojimbo]

@@WizoIstGott I had one with the Pursuer in 2 where I ended up getting pulled into a hollowing stab. Like.... The game showed me rolling past the attack, but my character kinda just..... Got taken in the sword's gravitational pull.

I have to give Phil some credit - whenever he sucks so badly at some of these well renowned games, it makes me want to try them (if I haven't already) just to confirm to myself that he really is that awful, rather than backseat gaming on YT.

I come from the future. The year is 2020, Phil is still terrible at video games, has no problem solving skills, and blames everyone but himself............oh and he owes a lot of people a lot of money.

Phil attacking the boar repeatedly at 1:13:13 and getting killed much to his surprise was epic.

[@cupriferouscatalyst3708]

"If you were a real knight, you wouldn't do a massive swing right near the ledge" is a fascination observation to me. It's like he's commenting on a movie, but it's a game. In this context, he IS the knight he's talking about. He could choose not to do a massive swing right near the ledge, yet he's still chosen to do so "like 700 times" (in his own words).

[@silverstorm1233]

Phill: I know how to play the game properly now. Cliff: Oh really?

Ya know it took me a whole playthrough to fully grasp the nuances of all the mechanics in the game, leveling, how to approach bosses, weapon scaling, etc. But it took me all of 5 fucking minutes to learn the basic mechanics.
