You can add Game Grumps (specifically Arin) and Dream to that list. From what I know, Arin is the only other person who has had TIHYDP's made out of his shitty gameplay videos. He once got lost in a room with only one way out.
Thank you Derich
Phil, believes this as well. It's hilarious though when you look at other reviewers who are pretty positive most the time and do well when they make videos (NakeyJakey & Ranton).
He is not gamer at all, at least as far as my lore on his 90s days go. The only games he played in the 90s were fighting games, which is why he thinks of himself as hot shit. Even kids born in the 90s knew games on the n64 or ps1. He likes to claim he is a retro gamer because he thinks it gives him credentials.
That goes for every open world game he plays interestingly enough. If he hates it he will rush through it and leave massive amounts of content untouched, if he thinks he can milk it he will drag the game on until it loses interest because everyone gets bored with it.
He did rent it out to his aunt supposedly.
"Now I gotta waste more time!"
this is one of the dumbest things he says
Driver on PS1, bay bay!
James Pond on Amiga.
It depends on the expectations of the audience. In the case of The Jimquisition, the numbers prove that Jim liking a thing gets viewed like 1/4 as much as Jim hating a thing (and Jim has backed this up multiple times with proof of metrics). Phil believes that detractor content gets traction for the same reason but the reality is that detractor content is well edited and gains traction because peoplr want to watch him without supporting him.
Jesus I think that was Giana sisters. Or Earth the mother of all games. And from there it went to Alex the Kidd on my first own purchased Master System (those Jump&Run games were hard)
Rage quitting kirby was extremely pathetic and gay. Phil deserves to be made fun of. A bruised ego Phil is a good Phil.
No way he threw those away. You can tell he didn't because selling them/giving them away would have been the smart, mature thing to do. I remember he had a statue of Black Cat and Heavy but he doesn't even play TF2 and he's not really into Marvel stuff these days.
Maybe that's how it works for him but I generally believe that people can enjoy a game and get invested regardless of the price. That's how it is for me, at least. It feels bad when you buy a game and it's genuinely bad but if it's a good game or even an ok-ish game, then you finish it because of the quality not because the price is now justified.
Duck Hunt, which meant I got used to associating "video game" with "pointing a fake gun at a TV" before associating it with holding a proper controller. This was in 1989, when I was five years-old. Though it was the original Metroid that made me actually fall in love with games, it had so much more going for it than shooting at insanely fast ducks and was more up my alley aesthetically than Super Mario Bros 3. And then a few years later Donkey Kong Country dropped and there was no going back. lol
It is VERY much dependent on the expectations of the audience. Don't know his metrics, but the comments section gets spicy whenever Max isn't so into what he's playing, because the fun with him, is when he loves it. He fostered that community, just like Phil did with his own.
My Doctoral thesis was shorter than that.
Pitfall on Atari, technically.
