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

[Master Balayage Autist]

 

[Cowboy Christ]

Sam & Max. His inability to have a sense of humour laid out on full display.
I also wanna see what happens when he sees Bosco.

 

[Lei Wulong's Left Leg]

Jet Set Radio, as it's a high-skill, reflex and flow based pseudo-skate game that requires a lot of mechanical skill because A) it's a dreamcast game and B) the controls are jank as hell. I can only imagine how horribly bad he'd do once act 2 started, and potentially getting DMCA'd because of Dragula.

Any funny point and click, really, as long as he doesn't just follow a guide.

I'd love to see "It Takes Two", just to see him fail at bonding with his wife. Recently played it with my girlfriend who isn't a gamer, and we ended up loving the experience.

 

[Draventren the Squeakuel]

I think any Total War game would fucking kill him. The 4x elements would frustrate him to no end, especially once things get hectic and enemies start invading and fucking up your economy. As well, the RTS gameplay would probably cause him to go nuclear because of how intensive it can get, and even cheese strats aren't always a guaranteed win. One good cavalry maneuver can turn a decisive win into a pyrric one and decimate your army, making you easier to mop up if you don't consolidate your forces.

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

I'd love to see him play Star Wars: Rebellion. The learning curve alone is brutal. Granted, with DSP's usual method of trial and error, he will eventually learn how to play it, but before then, he'll suffer for hours before he even realizes how the basics of the game works, from how to run his economy, to training enough troops to garrison his worlds.

Then he'll be flabbergasted when he figures out that there's an option to let your droid advisor do that for you automatically, leaving you with a free hand to handle fleet-building and diplomacy instead.

Fallout 2. If he beats it, then Spoony is the worst gamer on Earth.

Given DSP's dogged persistence, I can see him beating Fallout 2 after an initial period of fucking up in the game. Which yes, would indeed make Spoony look like the worst gamer on Earth when a goomba like Phil beats the game.

 

[Spirelord: Downfall]

Phil passing on F-Zero 99 is unfortunate. Racing is one of the worst genres he plays with little resistance (think Need for Speed and Forza) and it being a battle royale where he can't hide in bathrooms would piss him off to no end. A damn shame we can't watch him crash himself into every wall while proving he needs those prescription glasses he never wears...

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

F-Zero 99 also has no interaction with other players, making it even more suited to him

 

[ADN_VIII]

I'd love to watch him try to figure out Elite Dangerous and it's CVS receipt of keyboard controls. Or Star Citizen where he'd probably end up with a massive bounty.

 

[Darksy DePhil]

I've been playing Genma Onimusha on the Original X-BOX, and seeing how phil played the old RE games, good lord i can predict so much he could fuck up if he ever picked up that or Onimusha Warlords. Getting lost constantly because he can't backtrack for shit, dying to Ayame (the doll boss) 20 times in a row in the first encounter without realizing it's an recurring optional fight, plus 10 more deaths on the puzzles before that section, probably never even finding the bow or any other trick chest items, nor any health upgrades, because puzzles and decoding are way too hard dood!

 

[Iron Father]

Frogger, in traffic, IRL.

 

[TheRetardKing]

 

[BirdUp]

Roblox

 

[Prince Lotor]

Roblox

He's played Roblox. He spent the whole time yelling "I don't know what this is or what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing."

 

[Alex Hogendorp]

RollerCoaster Tycoon. I predict it would take him a couple tries for the Forest Frontiers scenario alone and would take him at least an hour to understand what Park Value is when beating Diamond Heights.

 

[Yamamura]

RollerCoaster Tycoon. I predict it would take him a couple tries for the Forest Frontiers scenario alone and would take him at least an hour to understand what Park Value is when beating Diamond Heights.

I'd also be curious to see him play OpenTTD as well.

 

[Negative Toxic Loser]

Has Dave or a dent mentioned Dave the Diver yet? It'll run on his mini-PC and exists on Switch. It costs as much as a single 1 Minute Man tithe and is pretty chill, fun and positive. I understand his drip gets going when he thinks about indie games, but this should be right up his alley if needs quick cash for pulls.

It is also about sushi! His horse mom wife loves gas station sushi!

 

[Citizen Nappa]

The Pokémon Scarlet DLC, just to see him fail even more.

 

[LilypaCastsUpper]

I'd like to see him play Sifu again (playthrough from a couple few years ago I think?). I want to compare how much his passion, patience, reaction time, focus, attention span, memory etc has deteriorated since then. As much dying and whining as there was in the first run, I bet there'd be WAY more in a second run, he might not even be able to finish it. His gaming ability is in a race with his hairline to completely degrade into nothingness.

 

[Yung Dalph]

Man, where do I begin. Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Total War, Frostpunk, and generally any RTS or grand strategy game. Maybe even Civ 5 or 6. I'd just love to see his brain melt when he's presented with a huge map of the world. He hates games that make him feel stupid, that's why his BG3 playthrough is very engaging. I'd like to see him play more complex games. Maybe even Rimworld which isn't even that difficult to understand.
