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

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.
He did play the first STALKER in one of his Halloween streams. I think he quit it after 1-2 hours calling it outdated and complicated. You know the usual stuff he says when he can't handle complicated games.

Or in terms of RTS that aren't overloading you with units. If he would play World in Conflict he would fail in the first mission since the game is basically a Call of duty like RTS where you have a limited amount of units while the enemy throws in wave after wave of units.
 
After seeing him fail so badly at Spiderman (PS1), I'd love to see him play the sequel
 
Not sure if he's played it, but I'd love to see him play Super Ghoul's and Ghosts. "Dood, I tried to double-jump, but the stoopid controller didn't recognize the input. Fuck you, Capcom! Seriously!" The salt!
He has actually partly played both Ghouls N' Ghosts (AKA the original dark souls DOOD) and Super Ghouls N' Ghost
by sheer chance as they were included on the genesis mini and switch online's free nes/snes section. Used savestates on the genisis with the "intent" of returning, didn't get past the first area of Super (DOOD THE SLOWDOWN GENISIS VERSION IS WAY BETTER).
 
Him playing Dota 2 with some asshole teammates could be entertaining.

But man, I WISH he didn't stop playing For Honor. That was some salt that reminded me of his Street Fighter days. That was genuine rage. I would have loved to see him fight against Centurion when he came out, because that character was so broken and so unfun to fight that he almost killed the game.
Or Escape from Tarkov, because that game is a painful mess for new players (it's a mess in general, but whatever).
 
Since I recently got into Persona 5 Strikers I want Phil to play it. I mean the first two bosses are somewhat similar to him: seizing the desire and turning fans into piggy banks. Sound good? And the fist boss would make Phil avoiding the screen like crazy. Take a look


This would be too much for a "happily married mature adult" I'd wager

Wish he kept playing Counter-Strike. Gotta love how he tries to crouch still and snipe with weak SMGs, yet rushes head-on with rifles.

He'd probably be like those BR shitters blaming every map other than dust2 for being shit at the game
 
I wish he played Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods Part 1. That expansion throws even more enemies at you and has an enemy that possesses demons and buffs their damage and speed. You even fight 2 Marauders at some point. The Ancient Gods Part 2 comes out today and I imagine it'll be just as hard(if not, harder than the first part).
 
The Getaway on PS2. No hud, No map, The only thing to tell you what to do is the blinkers. He'd have a fucking meltdown in the first part.
"Uhhhh, where I do go? How am I supposed to know where to go? Is there a map? The game didn't explain anything."

*Lean in manual chat reading*

"IloveSweatyMen did a 500 bitch here and said 'the blinkers on your car tell you which direction to go and how close you are to your destination.' WUT? How does that make any lahgical sense!? How the fuck would you know that? That's fucking retarrr-rediculous, dood."
 
Not to mention the only way to know your close to death is the amount of blood on your suit.
Well, that and the ridiculous resident evil style wounded walk animation. Sadly that game is too old for Phil to play, unless it got on PSN at some point. By now it seems unlikely.

And the ways it would break Phil don't stop there. You ditch the cops by changing cars discreetly. You regen health by resting against a wall. You aim by lining up your sights in third person, which was a little weird. There are stealth sections. There are boobs and implied sex, which of course would trigger I'M MARRIED, STOOPID.

It would be a slam dunk, and if he played the sequel, even more. Too bad it's super unlikely to happen.

Another more obscure ps2 era title that I'd love Phil to go through is Without Warning. A crazy Japanese tribute to action thrillers that's super nutty, fast paced to a fault and plays pretty damn poorly. The god damn bomb disarming minigame as Hooper would make Phil commit honorable sudoku in ten seconds.
 
I wish Phil would revisit older games that have evolved more over time. Games are a lot different than when he first started out and a lot of the time they transform into something else entirely over the course of a few updates. He has a tendency to play games when they're new and never return back, with recent exceptions being Minecraft and Genshin.

Rainbow Six Siege, Dead by Daylight, Tekken 7, Starcraft 2, etc. I would say SFV but I know that he'll never want to pick that game back up.

Partially because of how different and new each game will feel (launch-day DBD or R6S is a completely different game from the live versions) and partially because the communities as a whole for these games have gotten better. It's tough watching some of the TIHYDP's for these games because it's really Phil exploiting the community's collective misunderstanding of how the game is supposed to be played. Watching Phil be completely clueless is amusing in it's own right but watching the other players also act completely clueless makes it less satisfying, since his obvious ineptitude with the game isn't being properly punished.
 
Some of those minimal HUD shooter games where getting shot in the shin means death like Post Scriptum, Hell Let Loose, Rising Storm Vietnam. Actually scratch that with Piggys swine vision and cloven hoof grip he might actually get some kills unlike that kiddy-meme shooter CoD where he shoots the guy first a bunch of times and dies in two shots (upper torso and headshots).
Edit: Wait I got one more: Mordhau.
 
That would be something else, shame it's a PC only game which means he'll never play it. He'd complain about being beheaded by two-handed weapons and complain about realism like saying "If someone swung a zweihänder in real life like they do in the game they'd throw their bhek out!" The same guy who looks like this when he's pretending to swing a one-handed axe.

Thinking about it, he'd just make all the same complaints he makes in CoD.
 
He would already fail at purchasing weapons and armor since those lie on the battlefield and not in a shop. I want to see him using a crossbow, missing horribly and then conmplaining "Whaaat? I have to reload after one shot?" Bulsshit!"
Better the reaction to realizing you have to compensate for the arc by aiming high
