Best of This is How You Don't Play's - What is the best TIHYDPs?

[I'mPushingButtons]

When it comes to DSP lore and TIHYDP's I am a filthy casual. What are some of the best videos to watch, what are the funniest moments and why should I spend time watching a fat man with a bad goatee play games poorly?

 

[Done]

His Resident Evil stuff is freaking hilarious! Code Veronica being my personal favorite..

Spoiler

Phil somehow manages to fight a boss with no weapons, it's a classic to behold

Also, one cannot neglect mentioning the classic MGS trilogy of TIHYDPs.

I'm ordering them by the year of when the playthrough was made:
2008: Fallout 3 (Phil vs landmines...and the landmines won)
2009: Batman Arkham Asylum (Resident Evil 5 becomes hysterical towards the end, but otherwise not much happens) SF4 (SF4 series in general) Witcher 2, Borderlands 1
2010: Fallout New Vegas, Starcraft 2 (sadly, TIHYDP is down) Metroid Other M, Red Dead Redemption, Castlevania Lords of Shadow
2011: Dark Souls 1, MK9, Deus Ex 3 (sadly, TIHYDP is down, but the playthrough was atrociously bad) Dead Space 2 demo, Driver San Francisco, Jak 1, Sly Cooper, Portal 2, LA Noire
2012: MGS2 and 3, Spider-Man 2000, Black Mesa, GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas, Max Payne 3, Sleeping Dogs, the Megaman X marathon (specifically, X3, X5 and X6), Resident Evil 6, Bully, GTAIV, FIFA 12, Assassin's Creed 3 (apparently this one caused a fanbase meltdown) XCOM Enemy Unknown, Hitman Absolution, Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 NES, NES Batman, Madden 12
2013: MGS1, Rising, MGS4, Injustice 1, Demon's Souls, Devil May Cry 1 and 3, GTAV, Metroid Prime. Kingdom Hearts 1 had an infamous moment with Pandalee but IDK if it's that bad of a playthrough.
2014: Jak 2, Dark Souls 2, Resident Evil marathon (specifically, RE3, RE4 and CVX) , Portal 1, GTA VCS, Oddworld, The Evil Within, Shadow of Mordor, Halo 2 HD, Super Mario 3D Land, GTA V FPS

2017: Dark Souls Redemption Run, ARMS, Tekken 7, Injustice 2, Ultra SF2, Crash 3 and 1 HD, Friday the 13th, Persona 5

I'll probably go back and edit some for 2008-2011. There are several other underrated classics from that era, 100% sure.

4 hours of edited kahntent even Mr Metokur truly enjoyed.

This one's a bit of an underrated gem

I agree for the Resident Evil stuff,it's hilarious and painful to watch especially when you played the games.With Dark Souls and MGS it's probably one of the series he's the worst at except for maybe RE7 because the game is relatively linear.

I know the Devil May Cry one was bad enough that the director of the game himself commented calling him a dumbass.

I feel the need to point out that the shit that this guy puts out that isn't in Japanese or blocking people for dumb questions is a riot. Anyone who asks a Kotaku journalist if he eats shit is a good man in my book.

The classic REs are prime Phil material, since the chat cannot help him on how to conserve ammo etc. But he still sucked despite them telling him where to go.

Kamiya is a legend, pure & simple.

That, and I need to watch that DMC TIHYDP.

 

[UncleTusky]

I'd also recommend TIHYDP Shadow of Mordor and X-COM Enemy Unknown. Phil's own idiocy makes the games way harder than they're supposed to be, and he just keeps digging himself deeper as they progress. They also go for humor over a-logging Phil, which is more fun imo.

 

[RIP_SANITY]

In general, Resident Evil, Soulsborne, Metal Gear, Grand Theft Auto are the franchises he sucks the most at.
Add in fighting games as well (not a franchise, I know)
These 5 all have the most infamous and well known TIHYDPs out there.

That intro never gets old. As for another THYDP intro.

The best THYDP are the GTA series and the MGS series. Also the trolling in the Souls series is great.

Probably the most infamous TIHYDP moment imho.

 

[Hatoful Dandy]

This classic

 

[FrankPentangeli]

Not exactly TIHYDP but worth checking out DSPisms. Simple idea but at the time they started, they were something different to the usual TIHYDP.

 

[Henry Wyatt]

His dead rising one is pretty painful to watch(and entertaining because of that)

 

[gandheesling]

Forza Horizon 3 is a fantastic one from last year with great production values by cerulean 'skeletons' 86. It's long at 3 and a half hours but it's fairly warranted, keeps track of every tree he rams into (a lot).
Seconding Shadow of Mordor too for the amazing feud with DSP's party pooper Ukbuk the Black.

 

[gh0stzero]

I kind of liked the the forza horizon and GTA 3 tihydp.

I know EvilAJ wanted his tihydp's to also show phil all the comments on the videos as well but I prefer the ones where its just phil failing at games no comments, no good idea / bad idea stuff.

And that tekken 7 TIHYDP has some of the best editing out of them all.

Frau Grimhild did tihydps that aren't even of phil. (And some phil ones to)

Someone here already mentioned FIFA, but I think it's worth noting that his sports game coverage in general is absolute gold. Something about him is unable to comprehend that sometimes in team games a loss in inevitable.

This one's a personal favorite of mine just due to the raw anger he's able to output at a sports game. If you're impatient, I think everyone following Phil should at least watch the controller smash at 1:14:30

The Metal Gear Solid 3 one is my absolute favorite. The game is everything Phil hates, and boy does it show. My favorite moments are when it took him ten minutes to understand how to equip a suppressor despite "Press triangle to equip suppressor" being written on his inventory screen in big bold letters, and when he tried to take on the final boss with a fucking sniper rifle at close quarters, with predictable results.
