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

Hearthstone is also interesting in hindsight because he (in his telling) spent a few hundred dollars in iTunes gift cards he had lying around; the exact number is estimated to be much higher based on some of the cards he had. Now that we know about WWE Champions I'd be very curious to know if he was as addicted to Hearthstone then as he is to Champions now.

That or he was just doing the typical Phil thing and declining to be honest because he knew the real amount spent would result in jokes at his expense. He worries about that kind of shit no matter what his relationship with a game is like.

MtG is one of the very few things I wouldn't blame Phil for avoiding. I myself would be an embarrassment trying to play it. Just not that level of nerd. He's still a bitch for running from Divinity though, that shit may be beyond him but it's his fault he's not honest about what he is, and after twelve years, it shouldn't be THAT fucking hard. Even though it is, which is his fault.

After watching KZ_Frew's playthrough, I think Driv3r would be great to see Phil attempt. The game starts off a bit janky at first which Phil would probably have trouble with but otherwise get through reasonably well. There'd be alot of cheap deaths due to the enemy placement and on foot controls being god awful which would probably annoy Phil quite a bit. I presume that The Hit would be a taste at what would come later in the playthrough with it's difficulty.

The golden goose however would be when he'd get to the Istanbul levels and the difficulty shoots upward. I have a hard time believing the chase sequences were properly playtested with how there's absolutely no margin of error whatsoever. I can imagine Phil potentially going nuclear at The Chase considering how awful it looks to attempt.

I’m not in the up and up with philly boi these days but has he started his Divinity of Sin 2 play through yet? I’m absolutely DYING to see him play this game with absolutely no instruction and a very complex (for mainstream games) battle system.

It was only payed for like 7-8 months ago... give him time.

And nice he starts playing later this year (1year anniversary of not playing it maybe?), he will absolutely hate it. He will say thats why he didnt want to play. You will se...

Phil should play Elite:Dangerous 2. Would be fucking hilarious to see if he can navigate out of his hangar when he leaves a bigger star port (not the small ones where you just have to hover up and off you go)
Or when he decides to do pirate hunting with his starting ship.

Arma 3. Everyone known Arma is pretty much the realistic military sandbox but what most people don't know about Arma is how little it tells you. For example, body armor in Arma 3 only protects what it covers. You can be wearing a top of the line body armor vest but it doesn't save you if you get shot somewhere it doesn't cover. You can really only find out about this by examining how weapons function in the virtual arsenal. The game tells you there's stamina and weapon sway, but doesn't tell you that you can use combat pace to walk without spending stamina.

Phil's chat could help him a little bit playing arma, like telling him what the default keybinds are, but they certainly won't be able to help him with spotting targets, rangefinding, or commanding his AI allies because Arma is usually different every playthrough.

Omnissiah preserve him if he experimented with multiplayer and Zeused operations where there legitimately isn't any consistency between missions so he would have no opportunity to learn patterns when no two missions are identical.

Well, you're in luck...sort of. He plans on playing Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection

The game has four difficulties: Page, Squire, Knight, and Legend. Page being the easiest and Legend being the hardest obviously.

This is what the producer of the game over at Capcom had to say about the difficulties:
'Fabiano recommends that most players take a turn on the Knight difficulty to really get a sense of how Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection was played back in the olden days. However, for those looking for a challenge, and want to play the game how the creator of the original title intended, Fabiano suggests amping it up and playing on the Legend difficulty.'

Apparently Legend is closest to the original titles difficulty, it would be a miracle if Phil played it on that difficulty though. I think he'll probably end up taking the easy, lazy way out by playing it on Squire because 'A lotta people are telling me to play it on Squire'.

It's Phil. His wheelchairs will request he play on the hardest difficulty, he'll most likely play it on Page first "to get a feel for it, as he hasn't played it in forever." Some salt. After a few levels, he'll go "It's not that bad.", set it on Legend and the salt will flow like wine. Phil has never been about pixel perfect jumps and pin-point accuracy - which the game is known for - but I hope this happens.

Imagine if Phil played a large-scale RTS, like any Total War, Steel Division 2, or the Wargame trilogy. His pigroach brain would be too overwhelmed by the sheer scale of those kinds of games. Too bad he'll never touch them because he doesn't give two shits about PC games.

Can you imagine him playing even Shogun 2 which is the simplest one on the surface level? Motherfucker would pausing all the time, craning his neck to see what stream chat is saying, mulling over all the suggestions, unpause, click a few times, pause, rinse and repeat.
Uuuuuuh peepol in streamchet are saying I should put the Ya-Reeeeee Ashee-gar-ew in ya-ree wall... uuuuh how do I do that? This game is so dumb, it never told me how to do a ya-reeeee wall.

I wanna see phil play the stalker series, that would be hilarious. Man would tumble through anomalies left and right and never figure out what a detector is.
