What do you think is the worst DSP playthrough?

[Massively Strong Greed]

Necromancing my own thread because the DK64 playthrough was that fucking bad. Just wow, dood.

 

[Muppetmode]

If dsp keeps up the autism shtick and keeps asking where to go instead of using his brain, I think morrowind will be up there with the worst

 

[FrankPentangeli]

You are all wrong, the correct answer is 'His life'

 

[downwardspiral]

Any nintendo game because of the mandatory half hour boomer rant about how "nintendo used to be great but it sucks now! remember the snes"

 

[Shield Breaker]

Dark Souls until he got carried. Mostly because I have played the game, and so everything he did was just to me. I mean how the hell did he make it so long before learning how to level up?

 

[HalfMillPhil]

I have to say his recent Catlevania Bloodlines playthrough. By the end of it he was nearly making a save state every time he hit the final boss.

And I agree
Seen the thread and immediately thought of DK64. Not only played bad but just complaining of how bad the game is until it gets really old. That's Phil tho, he can't shut up, he repeats himself until he thinks everyone agree with him (). We got it the first few times, thank you very much.

I never played DK64, no idea how the game works. As viewer it's not my job to find that out and cheer to guide him through the game.

 

[King DDT]

Not a "playthrough", per se. But his Tekken matches actually hurt me.
I felt emotionally damaged after watching him.

I actually started playing in part because of Phil, it's a solid game (at least on original hardware, I know the Virtual Console version has some issues).

While I can rarely say fighting games have playthroughs; his Granblue Fantasy Versus is pretty shit. I get the playing through RPG mode just to see what it offers; but the sole reason he bought it is because KoP convinced him that it's an anime SF2, which is pretty fucking correct. Yeah there are a few things that are different from basic fighting games like the recharge on special moves, but it's a pretty solid fighter with the anime aesthetic while lacking the insane combos and other shit found in stuff like BlazBlue and Guilty Gear. So, a game style he's familiar with and he lauds the fuck out of with his 4th place finish at EVO 2005... and he ducks online like a little bitch, to even say he doesn't know how the regular game plays because he's been in the RPG mode. Because the game style he's so fucking familiar with and has been playing since SF2 came out, lets you put your back to the enemy in its gimmick mode.

It's easy to mock him over all the stupid shit he's said and done, but to say he's unfamiliar with the game that is literally anime SF2, because he played a gimmick mode that lets you turn around... turn in your FGC card, cause you're a bitch made nigga.

 

[BrokeACKMountain]

Morrowind is a strong contender considering he only just started it.

 

[SPhobos]

Three sessions in and Morrowind is absolutely the worst play through he's ever done. He went into it saying he's just going to sit there and let chat throw nickles and dimes at him which is fucking shameless. Long stretches of each stream are him just repeating "I don't know what to do" and 'forgetting' things that chat has already told him as well as things that he's already done in the hope of hooking another guidecuck like Papa to drag him through a game that, at this rate, is going to take him a fucking year to complete.

 

[SkippyLongbottom]

Second stream I watched of Morrowind was a huge mistake obviously. It's so fucking bad and the only good that came out of it was DarkDave already had a "?" command of him saying "I don't know what to do." That was spammed the whole time, while he ran around in circles, reading chat, and actually saying it himself.

 

[Autowall]

Yeah Morrowind looking like it's gonna be a rough one.

See Phil literally falling asleep in the video below, timestamped (25:40 - 25:50)

Phil's existence is pain (nice save tho).

 

[werbwub]

Did nobody mention his witcher 2 playthrough?
Phil played through the entire game with a half-broken keyboard that gradually got worse throughout the playthrough because of him smacking it every time it fucked up.

phil's back might be better off if he didn't have to fold himself in half to read chat every 10 seconds

Nioh was a particularly frustrating one because for the first time in his entire career he had the potential to actually be good at a game for once.

For those of you who have never played Nioh, there are three "stances" that the player can alternate through as they play. Low-stance gives the player a quicker and better dodge but reduces stamina while blocking and focuses on quick combos, High-stance has heavy hitting attacks that breaks the enemies poise but has few defensive options, and Mid-stance gives the player more stamina to block with and has attacks that are a mix of the two.

Phil decided to play the game very evasively and dodge-spam through everything which is actually a viable way to play to an extent, but for the entire playthrough he used the Mid-stance (the stance that's meant for holding your ground and blocking, the opposite of his playstyle) for his entire playthrough. It's just mind-blowing that even though mechanically he wasn't that bad at the game he still managed to get stuck and die a lot because he couldn't understand the most basic mechanic in the game.

 

[Nigel of Ukip]

Black Mesa, because of the crouch jump thing. The SoK made the stream much better, would suggest a watch if you're bored.

Currently however, I am really enjoying his ongoing this is how you don't bankruptcy.

 

[SPhobos]

Popsicolo has fucking ruined Phil's Morrowind stream to a greater extent than any detractor could dream of, it's amazing how shitty his advice has been. This is straight up retarded, nearing 10 hours of "gameplay" with 4 hours of that just being menuing to make minuscule amounts of gold.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

I'm in the camp where the worst playthrough of his in my opinion is also my personal sacred cow - Nioh, and by extension Nioh 2 now, I guess, though he is doing better in that one I admit, but not by much. I don't think he ever even found out that you can't panic dodge after getting hit like in the From games, but you're allowed to panic block, otherwise you'll just be combo'd to death. The vast majority of his deaths I remember being from him not knowing how to keep himself from being combo'd to death.
Also one thing I noticed specifically here now that I'm talking about Nioh, when he first played Nioh, he always bitched about how the From Software games are better than Nioh, then every time he played a From game afterwards he kept saying how Nioh is better, especially when he played Sekiro, then again when he played Nioh 2 he said that From games were better. I bet that when he'll inevitably play Elden Ring he'll go back to talking about how Nioh was better.
