What do you think is the worst DSP playthrough?

Most of my favorites (MGS1, RE0, KH1) have already been posted, so I'll volunteer one which hasn't been yet.

The worst? I cannot say for sure. It depends on what you mean by "the worst". Many people here said his MGS1 run was the worst, and I would agree, except for the fact that it's so bad and DSP is so idiotic in that playthrough, that it becomes the basis of lolcow humour. It's like watching Nostalgia Critic, only amplified one hundred fold. I think the worst gameplay has to be not only one where Phil is clueless as to how the game works, ignores basic adivce, ignores common sense, complains constantly, finds cheap excuses, insults the game, other players and developers, but also extremeley boring and repetitive to the point where you can't even laugh at him...in other words, Street Fighter 2.

Worst in this sense can have several interpretations but I'll just post and discuss some of the ones that urked me the most or that I think are his worst (bias included at no extra charge!)

Any of the Soulsborne or even Souls-Like games: As someone who has platinumed all these games and played them top to bottom several times, so anytime he flubs his way through these games it makes that one spot in my brain itch a little bit. His old DS1 camcorder playthrough was a magnificent display of how inept he is, without a live and update guide given to him by his stream chat he is hopeless lost at even leveling up at the bonfire. His original Demon's Souls playthrough was just abhorrent. Constantly blaming the game, singing in his ear piercing voice how Fromsoft has no clue what they are doing despite putting out several masterpieces and that whole cheating y duping souls fiasco, (not to mention his fiery rage at the old monk player). Those are some of his worst imo.

Another one that comes to mind is his Castlevania Lords of Shadow playthrough, least his original one since I'm not sure if he has replayed it at all in recent times. Possibly the angriest I've seen him at any game too, which only highlights his stupidity. Controller slams, to the point he breaks his controller like an ape and says "Sony shouldn't put rage inducing games on their systems" as if the game grew hands and slammed the controller instead of him. Talking shit about Kojima, jealousy oozing from his words the whole time. Making perverted comments every time anyone is barely showing any skin and acking his way through story elements.

My last mentioned here will have to go to PS1 Spiderman playthrough. This one managed to get me actually angry and sick to my stomach. This game was a corner stone of my childhood, Spiderman was and always will be my childhood hero. (No Way Home was amazing btw go see it if you haven't) To see him pick apart a 20 year old game was just painful. Mocking the amazing soundtrack just cause he wants to shit on the game, reverting to his perverted 9 year old humor comments when Black Cat is on screen, ignoring the really cool story elements and once again acking his way through. Finally, calling the people who enjoyed the game, a lot of people from what I have seen, idiots. This moment cemented my passive distaste towards ol' dave here.

Some quick honorable mentions:
Battlefront 1 and 2
Sonic 06
Any GTA Game
Every Crash Game
Scarface

The Yakuza playthroughs, especially the most recent one, were unbearable to me. He kept saying this quote about how “this really is about the dark underbelly of Japanese society huh?…” again and again. He would see some criminal activity or some sketchy business practice that was in the previous 6 games he played and have all the fake surprise of SVU characters, and say that goddamn underbelly line.

If there's anything that really encapsulates why his old playthroughs, which made him look like an idiot, were still ironically entertaining, while his more recent ones, which also make him look like an idiot, aren't even ironically entertaining, it's THAT. At least back in the day, when Phil was 100% oblivious to how much his behavior betrayed him as he attempted to project an image of a cool guy who knew what he was doing, it meant that he would have some variety in his isms, because he wasn't attempting to avoid shit, since he didn't yet know to.

These days, Phil can be boiled down to deliberately repetitive nonsense, because that's how he avoids TIHYDP: be annoying without being even ironically entertaining. He's always saying stuff like the above, over and over again, or going "Huh?", in place of making the kinds of comments he used to, because as much he looks "special", it's still better than the ass-clown who got infamous for bumbling his way through the Metal Gear solid games. To him, at least, because he doesn't recognize that that guy could've coasted by for many years to come by just letting loose, whereas Grumpy Old Phil is in deep shit specifically because he refuses to embrace being the joke that he is. He doesn't accept that it's either be the joke or wind up homeless. He still thinks he can become popular again and get back to making the money he used to, while not even being the guy who had all that going for him.

Utterly exceptional.

In case you never realized, DSP purposely says/does sometimes dumb shit on purpose to try to go viral, him saying that underbelly line is probably him trying do that, just like him saying "fuck you _company name_"

Well of course, DSP squandered several chances he had to capitalize on an influx of new viewers just by being who he is. He can never gain back a following like that unless he does some really insane shit on par with his pulling the pickle incident and even then, his existence invites decline so to speak. Anyways, I just find it amazing any time DSP likes to talk shit on any sort of company (game related or not) as if he is somehow magically smarter than him all the while failing at tasks my 8 year old cousin could accomplish in any game. It is a delight.

I think we’re in for an insanely salty one or max two streams of sifu and then he’s gonna drop that shit. But judging by how hard and ruthless it is according to reviews I’m picking it as a dark horse for worst playthrough of the last year or so (or at least most interesting or salty)

I think so too, if he doesn't bitch out and decides not to play it at all that is. It's gonna end up like his Furi ragequit. Sifu starts out pretty easy in the beginning but once the training wheels are off you're getting skill-checked for the rest of the game and from what I gather after you defeat the level 1's boss is when the training wheels come off. The game requires good reflexes, spatial awareness and good decision making, three things Phil absolutely excels at being horrible at. The one way I've seen people cheese the game is abusing the environment and weapons but for that you need good awareness and more importantly only certain parts of each stage have a lot of tables, chairs etc. that you can exploit.

Injustice, no contest.

 

[Derich 2nd of coomland]

Elden Ring is very fast moving up the tier list, at the end of his current playthrough it might well be a real contender for the top spot.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

Elden Ring is very fast moving up the tier list, at the end of his current playthrough it might well be a real contender for the top spot.

I concur, largely from what it's doing to his legacy. 300+ deaths after so many agonizing hours of making very little progress, while using guides to script the living shit out of the whole affair, is more detrimental to his efforts to make a comeback than would be a 50-0 set with Gojitenks in Super Turbo. Say what you will about DK64, or some others, those were bad, but this genre is what people think of when they think of DSP, regardless of being a fan or a detractor. And with this latest one being pretty hyped, Skyrim Granny is blowing it harder than some people think he wants to blow a dick. He is confirming his own status as not only Worst Gamer Ever, but Worst Streamer Ever, on a whole new level.

It's a contender for the historic value alone.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

He's up to almost 450 deaths according to Snort's correct death counter now and not even entering late game. This will be his worst Souls game playthrough by far and ironically this is also his most handheld playthrough by far, at least when he got crushed 180-200+ times in previous games he was dense as pig shit and had no fucking idea what to do beyond reading about OP weapons, spells and armor sets and how to find them. Even more ironic is that with this playthrough he's been playing up this Souls veteran, pro-like player, robust master of all things Souls bullshit and is trying to big himself up as some sort of authority on Souls games when he's below Twitch thot tier. A friend of mine whose first Soulslike was Nioh 2 had less deaths than DSP, I asked him to send me his death counter because Nioh actually has all of your stats including number of deaths recorded. He had 214, Phil had 318.

EDIT: Also, funny coincidence, I swear much earlier in this thread I mentioned Nioh and Nioh 2 as his worst playthroughs in my opinion since I love both of them and prefer them over FromSoft's games, but at this point I'll have to switch my vote to Elden Ring. It's just a completely pathetic playthrough made even more so in context when you know how much he's been sucking his own e-peen regarding Souls games. And unlike the Nioh games it's not even a "sacred cow" of mine, in the end I didn't like Elden Ring as much as I liked Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne and in my opinion I only liked Dark Souls 2 less than ER.

I always give him leeway on that geography minigame because of the retarded X issue being stupid, but then I revoke it because he ended up cheating and using his phone to look the answers up when it was Asia.

 

[JustFuckinaDude]

The worst for me to watch was Metal Gear Rising: Revengance. I loved that game so fucking much and to watch him suck so hard, fail to figure out that there’s a lock on button or a dodge attack, and blame everything but himself for being such a jackass made me unfortunately MATI.

 

[25 Invisible push-ups]

I agree with Elden Ring, it's so obvious he's being handheld through it, yet he's still so bad at the game due to bad depth perception and just being an overall bad player who refuses to learn from the mistakes he claims he doesn't make. (Even though he could at one point pick up a controller and play any game at a professional level).

 

[The Cunting Death]

Persona 3. Not only did his patreons fund that playthrough, he was so fucking close to beating it, on easy, kept ignoring Nyx's weak points and just attacked randomly like a dumbass, and after all that he says "fuck this i'm done" when he loses to him.

what a cunt

 

[Stanty]

Honestly, I think it really depends on what you know personally.

For example, the first time that I noticed how bad DSP was at games was during his Super Mario Sunshine playthrough, notably during the FLUUD-less platforming mini-levels.

Lately, however, I played through Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII and I went back to see Phils playthrough and... I mean... He watched Bhunivelze on YouTube instead of beating him. And I don't believe he even got the ultimate dungeon which would turn Bhunivelze into Bhunivelze+ so there's just zero excuse.

 

[EmpireOfTheClouds]

I'm quite surprised I haven't seen very much mention of the Uncharted playthroughs here.

I know you can't exect this guy to know what stealth is after the MGS playthroughs, but holy shit, watching him run into areas and shooting mooks rather than taking stealth is legit irritating. Even worse is his seeming inability to take cover, especially in Drake's Fortune. I know the Uncharted games are easier than, say, the Soulsborne games so there's less rage quitting and what not on his part, but my GOD I had to stop watching the Among Thieves one after ten minutes because I was getting irrationally irritated.

 

[Angry Mug]

Any retro game.

Even more so now if it comes as part of a collection with a save state feature to exploit.
