Upon hearing the “new detractor meme”, (thanks for coining that term, after today, further use of it will not help your case), about a Line account and you denying its existence, I have to ask you, what is your argument? You seem surprised that the “WWEChampions” still goes on, and you pretend to not know why, I’ll tell you, if it’s nonsense you can debunk it effortlessly after. To believe that you’re not (originally) TheyCallMeDSP in that mobile game, all of this must be true: Someone created a WWEChampions account with that name, years ago, with the main purpose of impersonating you. They spent tens of thousands of dollars in said game in order to level up their beloved digital assets. They’ve logged in religiously following your schedule without missing a day for a very long time. They created a Discord account, (proven to belong to the WWEChampions user), years ago, at almost the exact time you would be trying to contact your Twitch support member. Something that no one would’ve known at the time, unless they guessed you were doing so. They downloaded your Twitter image that you once posted, only to Twitter, and set it for their Discord, with said image having more data than the one you posted. This could only have happened if you uploaded the avatar, then regret it immediately because of cropping issues, the impostor would’ve downloaded said avatar for future use, (also immediately), then you changed yours with different cropping. Your phone number is linked to a Line profile, proven to belong to you, unless someone hacked into the App’s database, or someone hacked/stole your phone, created an account, and left it, (without you knowing about it). The Line account has the same (original) name of the mobile game profile, and this App is a known avenue used for communicating in that game. You claim you don’t know anything about any of this. As a bonus, you will refuse to show the account, and confront the accusation, even though showing the first 2-3 letters of its name would be evidence of not matching the impostor’s. All of this is public information, and Hitchen’s Razor cuts deep here, but if you present a convincing argument you could put an end to this, so I’m at least listening. This is no "trolling" thread, @Phil, what is your defense?

Decided to make a tally, (current, at date of this posting): Complete: Top: Notes: The games with "⊕:" between parenthesis, means someone added a stipulation, but not everyone who nominated it. Assumed people mentioning how much they like a game or similar, is an actual nomination. Non-specified game nomination was added to the most nominated game in the series. Text Format:

A moderator has given permission to make this thread as long as images are not posted. Chances are, people have already seen the receipts and know where to get them. This is Phil's response to that: The problem is, I don't think this clears anything up, and because of the seriousness of the accustion I would say that you have a responsability with your fans. People can also post their opinions on this if they want. Let's just get this out of the way: Did the leaker obtain this information through questionable/illegal/"immoral" means? We can agree on that if you want, now let's go to the actual facts. Are those transactions accurate, (numbers & destination)? Seems like they are if people managed to commit identity-theft and just get the data via phone-call, apparently anyone could do that at some point. If the numbers are fake, please go ahead and tell. So assuming real information got leaked, can you explain why are there thousands of dollars in Apple Gift-cards, PayPal & liquor? Ok, just hundreds in liquor. I can nitpick here, but I want to keep it simple to avoid red herrings. Why are there several thousands of dollars on Apple & PayPal payments, (over 8K in a relatively short period of time), when you claim you're in a bad financial situation? This is not "trolling", you say people take a "nugget of truth" and then use that to create a flood of misinformation, what legitimate use could you possibly give the things mentioned at such high expenditure? It's not rhetorical, and your answer doesn't put you in "danger" if what you do is acceptable, I'd say. I don't think this thread gets to live long enough for more specific questions... the conversation might be interesting, though.

Oh, me! I totally can‼

If you ever wondered, this is the result: This Phil is from yet another dimension, he owns a pawn-shop but wanted to diversify by opening a restaurant. It serves Italian-american food, despite the heavy competition in the area... nevertheless, he succeeds due to his legendary sugar-free recipe. His hobbies include cooking, (obviously), powerlifting, road-tripping and drinking Limoncello at dusk, near the beach.

There's 0 chance he's answering this. I thought it would be 1/1000000, but clearly the M.O. has changed for even worse. Completely sheltered, YouTube, Twitter & even his own Forums. No way to have anything that resembles a conversation or him addressing the lightest of critics, or respond to anything that is not a bottom-of-the-barrel-lowest-of-tiers "troll" tips, over the top sycophants/yes-man LARPers, or the laziest of insults easy to counter. That Pre-stream was the definition of a non-answer, and that's all he'll give. That right there is the culmination of all "drama", where does the money go, everything circles around that question and he has no answer. The safe-bubble is complete now that things got to this point, I don't see any reason to further question him on anything. Red-herrings, straw-mans, silence, or "if you're a fan, you'll believe me without questioning", that's all that's left, he won't take the challenge of providing an actual argument. It's a shame that this website is called "The King Of Hate", the state that is in is the opposite of what those words were supposed to convey. I believe I was fair in the OP, if not, tell me how so. If any moderator is reading, I'll rather keep this thread open, please don't lock it even if all of this is dead.

all of these people showed up and voted for max pain so i hope Phil shows what evidence judges what votes get deducted because max pain has a sock account creator buffing its votes

Max Payne 2 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO come on brother!

God Hand(You own this via PS3)- You had ALOT of fun with this game Phil, and only got to play this for like 1 hour each session on two different marathons.. Time to finish this game. Manhunt(You own this via PS4)- I feel this game did not get a fair shake in your 1 hour Halloween playthrough years ago with this. Danganronpa V3(PS4/PS5)- This game will be voted by plenty so I figure to throw this one up.

Merry Christmas to everyone ❤

On behalf of my family, I want to wish you all a happy, healthy, safe, and merry Christmas.

Been AFK 4+ Years, Hope everyone is doing well!

Phil brought the topic up on stream, so he opened up discussion. Checkout his video on it and feel free to discuss, but I don't want to see any dox or personal information posted here or you'll risk suspension/ban. Keep it civil. This isn't an invitation to attack Phil or other members.

Happy birthday‼

Interesting. BTW, today is my birthday.

Psychonauts 2 is a fantastic 9 out of 10

THAT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE LEON XD

Enjoy Webheads.

@sateler96, @GuessWhat, @MoraMoria, @musicboy, and @100gecs, I just finished watching James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. Stay tuned tomorrow for my review.

Got to fly in the private company jet today, for work. Had a couch and wine rack in the back of the jet.

To my fellow Americans, happy Independence Day.

You realize there are public, official documents that showed revenue, NET income, business & personal expenses in good enough detail, (business expenses were not itemized, though). Such documents were also briefly looked at by a US trustee at the 341 meeting, and discussed with Phil himself. This is a fact, you cannot change it.

Spider-Man

lmao this kills me

Awesome sauce. Anyways, I got great news for you all. I just got a job as a cashier associate at the Burlington located in Woodbridge, NJ. I passed my background check with flying colors.

Simple & polite questioning can be deemed as "trolling" at convenience, in order to discredit legitimate interest, a very poor ad hominem. If that's the case, the word "troll" should be added in the featured page, as someone who dares to make basic or neutral questions in regards to Phil's decisions. One of the laziest fallacies there are.

guys really why new vegas , i think we need to see him replay Alan Wake after all these years.

South Park: The Stick of Truth [played in 2014] Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) [played in 2010]

Happy St. Patrick's Day everybody.

i've watched Phil play danganronpa 1 and 2 and signed up to the forums just so i could vote for V3 its been way too long without playing it

Spider-Man: The Movie Game - Review The Positives: The game's intro still rocks hardcore to this day. The graphics, character designs, character models, and animations are top notch. As a matter of fact, I'd say they're better than the ones in Spider-Man 2. People had issues with the voice acting. I for one, did not. IMO, the voice acting was excellent. You have Josh Keaton providing the voice of Harry Osborn & Dwight Schultz providing the voice of Vulture. However, the stars of the game are Tobey Maguire providing the voice of Peter Parker/Spider-Man & Willem Dafoe providing the voice of Norman Osborn/Green Goblin. The gameplay is very good. It is in some ways an updated form of the gameplay from the Neversoft Spider-Man games from 2000 & 2001. Other than Green Goblin, the game includes other classic Spider-Man villains such as Shocker, Vulture, Scorpion & Kraven the Hunter (Xbox Exclusive). The game's story does a solid job in following the movie. Once you beat the game on Normal difficulty, you get to replay the game with the Alex Ross prototype suit. If you beat the game on Hard or Super Hero difficulty, you get to replay the game as Harry Osborn/Green Goblin. The Negatives/Nitpicks: The web-swinging felt weird. It felt odd seeing Spider-Man's web lines go up to the stratosphere instead of attaching themselves to buildings. It made no sense for the developers to give Spider-Man a web meter. In the Raimiverse, Spider-Man has organic webbing generation. I don't like the fact that Kraven the Hunter was an Xbox Exclusive boss character. I absolutely hated the stealth in this game. IMO, it was trash. The camera system isn't that great. Overview: Spider-Man the movie game is a fun Spider-Man game & movie tie-in game. IMO, it is a classic. Grade: A-

@sateler96, @100gecs, @musicboy, @MoraMoria, and @GuessWhat, Last night, I have beaten Spider-Man the movie game on my Xbox 360. Stay tuned for my review.

Lets gooooooooo! Max Payne 2 (Favorite game of one of my favorite video game series) Super Monkey Ball 2 (Game fucking rocks!) Half-Life 1 / 2 (Love Valve's old GldSrc/Source games) Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (Best Splinter Cell IMO) F.E.A.R. (Random Suggestion) Duke Nukem 3D (Random Suggestion 2) UNDERTALE (Random Suggestion 3) BONEWORKS/Half-Life Alyx (What about VR Games?)

It was quite an adventure

Someone asked before, so I watched DSP's thoughts on Cyberpunk. My thoughts as I watch bc fuck it y'all want more boring shit to read and I'm on lunch break. Also, these are not direct quotes, just summaries of his points. "The gameplay elements aren't as good as the games they are lifted from." Partially agree. Melee in CP2077 was bleh. Gunplay was good but not as good as something that focuses on it like Borderlands. There's nothing like hacking or stealth in Borderlands, for example. This makes sense though as Borderlands is 90% shooting things. For games like Cyberpunk, it's the combination of elements that make it better than the sum of it's parts. It's not about gunplay or stealth or hacking or cyberware mods or the like; it's about combining those things and creating a more unique experience. If you ignore all that and just run in with guns blazing yeah your experience isn't going to be great. "Open world disappointed, empty and glitching." Agree on glitching, disagree on disappointing. Depending where you are, I usually saw other people/cars/etc. Some areas were very busy. This might have been a console issue TBF "Content is all thrown at you, no way to know what's good or bad." First, the missions ARE sorted; main missions, side missions, gigs, etc. Not sure what he's talking about there. Secondly, of course you don't know ahead of time which ones are "good" and which ones aren't? That's every RPG ever made. That's a bizarre criticism. "Game wasn't finished, needed another year." Agree it's wasn't in the state that it should have been in. I don't think he's far off on the year timeline, but I'd say 6-9 months. "Some missions were really good, others weren't." Agreed but again, this is every RPG ever. I'd say the majority of side missions (not gigs) were good, 1-2 were great. I think maybe only 1-2 I'd consider bad. "Gameplay just wasn't fun" Disagree strongly here. While the gunplay wasn't on the level of something like Borderlands or Doom, it was still good. Again, there's also the stealth and hacking aspects. I didn't watch his playthrough, but I'm guessing he focused primarily on guns/melee? If you only do 1 aspect then yeah, I could see it getting boring, but the beauty of games like this is that you can't approach different missions in different ways. "Bad writing" Again, strongly disagree. Yes there was definitely some bad parts, but overall it ranged from OK to good with some great in there. "Didn't innovate." This is one of those criticisms that needs to die. A game doesn't need to invent something new to be good, or even great. What areas did Witcher 3 innovate to make it such a great game? Or was it great because it took existing elements and put them together with great writing? He keeps bringing up gunplay and again, yes, the gunplay isn't as good as Borderlands/Doom Eternal/etc but it's not even close to bad. If Borderlands gunplay is 10, CP2077 is a 7, plus again you have hacking and stealth to supplement it. This is what made the combat fun for me; the shooting + grenades + hacking + stealth. It's great to hack a camera, Incinerate the guy hiding behind some boxes, then switch to first person and snipe him and he panics out of cover. "I'd rather play Fallout or Deus Ex" .... the gunplay in both of these games is worse than both Borderlands and CP2077. I'm confused how it's OK for Cyberpunk to have worse gunplay than Borderlands but DE and Fallout 4 get a pass? "Quest organization is a mess. I don't know what's side content and what isn't." Again, the quests are organized. Main missions are, well, main missions. Side missions are longer missions that involve multiple steps and reoccurring characters. Side gigs are small, usually 1-time deals given to you buy regional Fixers. Witcher 3 was like this. You'd have a hundred missions but they were organized. I have no idea why he found this so confusing. This is a straight-up invalid criticism. Him not understanding the very clearly labeled mission organization isn't a game flaw. "Bombarded with phone calls/texts"" I agree with the barrage of phone calls and texts. Especially early on you get hammered constantly. It's made worse by the fact that they text you after each call with deets. It's annoying. "This game could destroy CDPR" No. They already recouped dev costs. This will not destroy the company. "Sexual content is out of control. I understand it's part of the world and sex is a commodity but they could have explained that in the plot." Why would they just tell you in the plot when you figure it out from looking around the world? What good would a character saying "Boy they sure do focus on sex in this the year of our Lord 2077 huh??" do? Don't tell; show. "They did all this sexual content to cater to teenagers." Huge OOF. No, this is how this world works. Corps marketing to indulgence, sex, drugs, food, entertainment, etc. And he mentions how he thinks GTA sells because of adult content? Jesus Christ... I get that this is part of his new thing with "I'm a mature adult and I sure don't like sex and nudity because I'm a mature married adult and mature adults, as far as I understand, really hate this stuff so I do too now" but it's cringey as fuck to hear. As an actual mature adult with actual mature adult friends, we laughed and snickered and made jokes about the sex stuff... then we moved on. Ironically, I find it's the most immature people making a big deal out of this... well, them and churchies. He also overstates how often the sex stuff is in the game. Yes there are strip clubs and stores with crazy sex toys, but they aren't everywhere. Early on you see them a lot but later it's far less often. He complains about this while ignoring the open push for drug use, gluttony, violence, etc. "This is one of the worst gameplay experiences I've had in 12 years" I'm assuming he's being hyperbolic here as if he's serious, this would be enough to dismiss all his criticisms. TL;DR: Phil - Bugs/lack of polish are bad. Gameplay is bad. Game is confusing. Story is OK. Boobs are yucky (I'm very mature BTW have I mentioned how mature I am because I'm very mature.) Me - Agreed. No. No. Sort of agree. No. I'm good, about ready for this whole plague thing to be over. You?

I've updated the original post with a new rule, restricting discussion of drama topics from sources like kiwifarms. Due to numerous attacks and false accusations over the years I don't feel it's productive to allow malicious topics to leak over onto TKOH forums.

May this holiday season be filled with laughter, joy, and peace. Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas to everyone and have a happy new year

Someone's a little bit upset. Didn't sleep well?

Maybe, but to be fair you think every game sucks that isn't dark souls lol.

Hey Phil, do you wish John would forgive you so you could go back to how things were before? Be honest, which forums do you frequent more, this one or the farms? Do you wish you would have listened to and taken advice from your former mods so they might not have left? Are you trying to distance yourself from the lolcow culture by playing slow paced lengthy singleplayer games? Do you feel like your business is kept afloat by a small amount of people that tip in large amounts? Will you ever VIP Derich? If tips get real slow for a playthrough would you consider dropping said playthrough? Don't you think it's a bit rude to ask for support on your audio-only schedule? Why don't you look into better twitch TV like other content creators that stream for a living? Will you be sending your mod team small gifts for their hard work like hachubby? Merry Christmas my king

Happy thanksgiving to my fellow Americans.

The Square presentation was ass.

LOL

Do I get VIP seating and free drinks?

What the fuck.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - Original Xbox, Forward Compatible with Xbox One - AVAILABLE FOR LESS THAN $7 USD ON AMAZON Not the first in the series, but it's not a direct sequel either. The best level design in stealth game history matched with stellar graphics for the time (some of the best on original Xbox alongside Chronicles of Riddick). An all-time Classic. Must Play. Hitman: Blood Money - YOU OWN IT :D You know the scoop! It's very similar to the current games, but instead of having the opportunities played out for you step by step, you're given cash rewards based on your performance every level to buy intel to unlock clues and hints. Plenty levels with lots of character. I hope others agree and will nominate these as well.

It's a shame he decided that he's going to dislike it as it's a good game, bugs and lack of polish notwithstanding. CDPR absolutely should be raked over the coals for Cyberpunk's unfinished state on release but the gameplay, world, characters, and story are really good. I'm over 50 hours in and don't see myself getting bored with it anytime soon. Semi-related, but I find it funny how some places are slobbing Valhalla's knob while slamming Cyberpunk, despite Valhalla being buggy AF on release. Both are good games but seems that people are already forgetting how buggy Valhalla was.
