What game do you wish Phil would play? - AKA best future TIHYDP material?

The Rogue Like suggestion finally gave me an idea of what I really want to see from him. Something nobody can master on first, or even second try cuz of unpredictable and unknown variables. This is normally a sign of a good complex game, something you can only understand after many tries, observation and understanding so it gets more fun the more you absorb the very basic substance. A game in which you need to make long term decisions. Something Phil has always problems with, they need to let him win instantly or it has to be reaction based, or else it's a "bad game" *snort*.

His attempt of understanding Darkest Dungeon was glorious. Or should I better say he don't wanted to understand and gave up even before the prestream started. Tasty pig tears.

Someone suggested Kerbal Space Program here, yes great choice. This would hit right his weak spots.

But even more fitting and against his whole approach as a gamer would be Oxygen Not Included. It has no fast win button, you need to understand an enormous amount of little things, you need to macro and micro constantly, you need to think FAR beforehand what to build in which place (something you can only understand after many tries) and each tiny mistake can lead to a deadly chain reaction. And it's random designed. He would fail so hard, I laugh at it just by imagining it.

If he did Oxygen Not Included (or Don't Starve) he would say "I DIDNT KNOW THAT" and "THATS BOOLSHIT" so many times.

"Wait what?! Did you see that?! The Duplicant pissed himself. Huhu! He pissed himself! Oh ma gad. Look! Ack ack ack ack. And now it's dripping in the water reservoire! Oh ma gad! Uuuuuh, what should I do? *looks in chat* I guess that's not good, huh?""

"Uuuuuuh. I have no more food. *looks in chat* Uuuh, where should I get food from? Uuuuh, I don't see anything in my building bar (it's right there). Uuuuh. *looks in chat* Peepuul in chat are saying I should do some research. You can do research? Aaaah, there's a research button. It didn't work. I press the buttons but it didn't work. Look, I press the button. I guess a grey button means it won't work. I press it. Uuuuh."

"You know it's really stupid game design if they force you to get a new Duplicant every few minutes. I mean I don't even produce food yet and I already have 12 of them. So what the fuck man, this is stupid. Yeah and the ones at the lower level already suffucate, oh great. Uuuuuuuh. I don't even know what to do, why do they suffocate, this makes no sense. The game never told me they need to breath somehow. Uuuuuuuh. *leans back and does nothing* .... Yeah look, I can't do anything. How do I restart the level? Is there a button to restart the level? *looks at chat*"

"Okay peeepuul in chat are saying I need to build my machines at the top, because the oxygen goes up so I want my minions up there, right? *snort* Okay then. ... ... ... ... Wait how do I ... uuuuuh ... They don't build the machines. Uuuh. *looks at chat* They do everything but they totally ignore the machines! Ack Ack Ack! Wow. I don't know what's going on anymore, dood. What a broken piece of trash. Klei Entertainment can suck my balls. They can't even make the minions build the things I ordered them to build. Gakakaka!"

"Wait, there is hydrogen in my base, isn't it? *looks at chat* Yeah, this is hydrogen. Look, uuuuuh. Huh. *looks again at chat* How do I get rid of that? Uuuh. They can't breath hydrogen, can they? I guess they can. *looks at chat* *digs a random block* There it won't float away. It's still there. Uuuh. *looks at chat* *suddenly builds a Hydrogen Generator* There, this should work. Ack ack ack. Now pump it baby, uh, uh, pump it. - 10 minutes later - Wait a minute the hydrogen is still there, the Hydrogen Pump did nothing. It did absolutely nothing. The hydrogen is still there. Look. Uuuh. I guess it even produces more Hydrogen, it's even more than before, right? So you could build an infinite hydrogen source? That's cool. -5 minutes later- Oooooooh, peepuul in chat are saying I need to pump hydrogen TO the hydrogen machine, ooouuuuuuh, I didn't know that."

This is what I imagine.

Maniac Mansion for NES. With zero asspats. 25 minutes of trying to navigate that glorious game, operating solely on his own intellect he would put up a tarp & blow his brains out live on stream.

If he survives, he could do a double feature with its sequel, Day of the Tentacle. And he would definitely fuck up that one by himself.

I’m looking forward to him flailing around in Soul Calibur 6. If the Tekken vids are anything to go by, it’ll be a glorious trainwreck.
 
There are a few games he's already played that I want to see him play with specific parameters, such as playing Silent Hill 3 on hard riddle with no outside help, even though I know he'd quit at the first puzzle because it requires familiarity with Shakespeare.

I'd like to see him play the Shin Megami Tensei series. They're made by the same people behind Persona and while it has a lot of crossover with the Persona games (such as having personas, bribing/sweet talking monsters into joining you and the same spells), it's much harder and more unforgiving. If he couldn't handle Nyx in Persona 3 on easy mode and quit because of it I'd love to see him trying to get through a SMT game.

Any game that would require actual game "skills". So no guide or stream chat giving him hints on how to cheese or walk him through. There's reasons why he skipped out on Monster Hunter and Megaman collection that came out recently, because even with a guide he would still get his shit pushed in. Phil doesn't want those though.
 
Any SMT game that isn't persona.
If he hated Persona because it was apparently too hard. He's gonna neck himself playing Nocturne.

Or metal slug XX. I can beat Metal Slug games without losing a life on the hardest difficulty but even that game I had to have at least 20 continues.

Pokemon blue/red/yellow. I might extend this to gold/silver/crystal.

Why?

Because those pokemon games were archaic, obtuse and made a lot of assumptions about your knowledge. Your pokemon uses a move but it doesn't tell you the base damage, the effect, just the name and type. It wasn't until the gba games where it had descriptions.

I'm trying to introduce my sister to the games and picking a launching place for her to experience the series was an interesting discussion with my brother. We settled on black/white for tutorial reasons.

Watching phil play the early pokemons, preferably without chat would be amazing tihydp material. I think he has only played one from memory

Desert Bus...

I wouldn't watch but a stream where he is forced to complete Desert Bus would be torture for him and his fans. It's available for VR now too.

I looked stuff up, he did play a Monster Hunter game
 
I would like Phil to play SV5 again, but only against blindsven or Killer Instinct against SlightlessKombat.

Here Phil rage and bitch about blind players kicking his ass online would be very fun. I can imagine him ranting it is not far because they are disabled, they don't have to get jobs and can practice all day long or some shit.
