I have a theory about hell. The most evil people get put in to an amazing video game as the playable character, such as Jak, II, III. As they realise they are in a magnificent virtual reality and think about how much fun theyre going to have they then hear Phils voice 'Ok, ladies and gentleman, we'll be playing Jak and Daxter today..."

"Apparently this led to Jak 2 and Jak 3" NO FUCKING SHIT

43:20 "A fucking four-year-old could have done this better!" Is referring to the developers or himself?

Phil has the problem-solving skills and attentiveness of a 4-year-old with none of the creativity or dedication

This is still one of the best TIHYDP's ever made. Pure, no chat hand-holding, raw Phil sucking hard footage of a children's game before rage quitting one of the easiest collectathons ever made. This is the REAL Phil blind playing a game with some of the simplest game mechanics in the PS2 era and he still struggles like an 8 year old taking a calculus test. Just beautiful.

As somebody who played all of these games as a child, and still plays them every now and then as an adult, this is unbelievably frustrating and enraging to watch, but also kind of hilarious. I love how Phil keeps calling the gameplay "inconsistent". Dude, the gameplay is not inconsistent. You just consistently suck.

Phil >Teaches himself double jump spin. >Subsequently forgets about roll jumping.

I've watched this 2 or 3 times now and his ability not to use the O button is more amazing each time I see it.

"-didn't grow up in this era of platforming games, I grew up in the 2D era. So for me I'm actually suffering a bit here-". Dude, you are in your 30's. You were there for a good part of all of the different eras being born. Suffering? Give me a break, here.

"I'll say something really teary at the funeral, like, how am I gonna get changed back now?!?!?"

4:17 "What the hell kind of place is this? Do you always just walk around asking for $100 from fuckin people?" Oh the irony if you put this in context to present day Phil's "business"

"I grew up in the 2D platformer era"... You're still growing up cause you're still a child... Me too, I grew up in the 2D era and when 3D platformer games came out, I adapted myself... Instead of going from left to right, you just go everywhere... I remember my first time ever playing Mario 64... No trouble at all... I learned the controls and adapted myself to this new perspective in games !! I'm sure it's the same for a lot of people !

4:17 for a clip that has aged incredibly poorly, given modern-day DSP.

It’s quite amazing that it took him until Boggy Swamp in order to press the “O” button for the very first time.

He picked ONE thing in this game to listen to and actually do... which of ALL the fucking things happened to be... "DON'T GO TO MISTY ISLAND" - Samos are u fkn srs.

This truly was one of the playthroughs of all time. Im genuinely astonished at him being oblivious the spin attack for 70% of the game.

4:25 DSP: Can you lone me 500 dollars to play Minecraft?

As one of many people who has perfected this game, even as a teenager, watching this is both hilarious and disgraceful at the same. XD And at 1:03:43 , that's pretty much saying "it's not that I CAN'T learn, I DON'T WANT to learn, all for the monies and views".

58:35 Did he just ask how much platforming he had to do in a platformer? XD

If he ever makes it to Jak 2 then I have 2 words to say to you: CARGO MISSION. That is all.

Phil insults these GOLDEN GEMS! No one insults Jak and Sly! 30 years in the iso-cubes Philly boy! - I AM the LAW

The Precursor Basin (the driving level with the purple and blue rings) was my favourite level in the game.

I was better at this game when I was 7 years old.

"That wasn't my fault." You know when DSP says this in the tutorial level, it's gonna be bad.

just think, who will phil blame when he dies in real life? "its a fucking glitch" -phils last dying breath

I recently did a play through of this game. Knew next to nothing, spent some time in the starting area figuring out the controls, and never had any real problem with anything afterwards. Amazing game, never understood how he had such a difficult time trying to beat it

God damn, when Phil starts making biblical references about why he sucks at a game, that's when you know you have an amazing TIHYDP

I wish Phil renamed his channel VideogameFailure

mickle jeff's comment at 15:47 is incorrect. The eco beam mission has absolutely nothing to do with accessing the Dark Eco Plant boss fight. As someone who 100%ed this game at least thrice as far as I can remember, I know that the button at the top of Forbidden Temple leads to the passage to the Blue Eco Vent Switch that unlocks the path to the Dark Eco Plant. Regardless, watching DSP fail at a game my family has owned ever since it came out is nothing short of priceless.

Really? His excuse was "I only played for five hours"? The problem is more than his Jak and Daxter competence, it's his damn thought process. Not once does he wonder if there's something HE doesn't understand, it's "the game isn't helping me, waaahhhhh". "Grew up on 2D"? The way he complains, he couldn't get past Super Mario Bros on the NES! An entertaining LP features the player MAKING PROGRESS, and cracking a few jokes here and there. If you need to take time out to learn the game, DO IT AND EDIT IT OUT.

*1 of the tiniest towns in all of gaming* Phil: I can’t tell where I am, this place has no map!

There's playing a game with an open/unspoiled mind, and then there's ignorance and attention deficits. Phil tries to be the former, but ends up being the latter. He can't even play a classic without acting so egotistical.

When im having a hard time with a video game, i refer to DSP's lets plays... So i can say, "at least im not as shitty as this guy."

Phil could find a way to lose a graphic novel 'game'.

I always come back to this video. It never gets old seeing a mid-aged dude fail at such simple game mechanics.

Little late but happy ninth anniversary to this video.

I'm just going to be that guy and say that Klaww was an easy as hell boss fight.

I've never seen someone so bad at a videogame in my enitre life

At first going through some of these TIHYDP compilations I was a little tempted to give Phil the benefit of the doubt. I'll admit some of the games I watched do have their share of flaws, bugs, and minor annoyances (Motorstorm does have some moments where the physics gets grating, but it's not nearly as maddening as he makes it look. Same with Metal Gear Solid 1, and that was a ps1 game, so there was bound to be weird moments). But this... He makes this game look like Dark Souls in terms of playability and difficulty. Jak & Daxter... A colorful open world successor to Naughty Dog's classic platformer series, Crash Bandicoot... And most importantly: Rated E for *Everyone*! *Children* play this game! And they play it very well! Children don't constantly blame every mistake made on the game itself. Children have infinitely more maturity and integrity than this guy. It astonishes me how anyone could see a legitimate reason to actually *pay* this guy to play games badly on a regular basis.

I haven't played Jak & Daxter before, and I'm sure I could do better than this guy.

I came back to watch this again, and I noticed something. Towards the end of the game he starts complaining about the "horrible" game design with all the instant deaths. That's because the early levels have few if any bottomless pits or lava and have lots of water to cushion falls, so all that matters is your health, you can always survive three hits. But the later levels are filled with more hazardous obstacles and many things can kill you instantly. So what he's actually complaining about is the very good game design philosophy of having the game get harder as it goes on. As soon as the game starts to get difficult it's just "cheap".

"i dont censor myself but ill censor other people if they dont agree with me" seems legit

41:15 I about died laughing.

I was 11 years old when I first beat this game. I find it remarkable how a fat 30+ year old has trouble playing it.

"I'm 90 years old and my balls still haven't dropped!!" R.I.P lungs

to be fair, that fish catching mini game at the time... was hard as hell lol.

This montage was worth it just for his comment rant alone

oh my god when he figured out that spin attack i had tears in my eyes

About that rant of his, his argument is right, people who were young that played this game took time to fidure out little intricate things about the game to beat it, and grown up people usually don't have as much time to play through the game as they did when they were young. They had less responsibilities. Not that this is excusing him at all. Literally failing to press a button for like half the game, not listening to what the game is trying to teach him and complaining about bullshit like "lava kills me" is not excused by that argument. Like that one guy said, "There's only so much a game can teach you". And so long it can teach you the same thing before saying "yeah, they get it". There's also noticing patterns. Most people and especially adults should be able to notice those. And complaining about challenge and 'cheap deaths'? Someone needs to play Kaizo Mario to learn the difference between challenge and cheapness. Also, advice for life: "Look before you leap"

1:20:30 I love that groan of frustration. Cracks me up.

I still love how Phil learns how to spin during the swamp then promptly proceeds to forget how to spin.

Disregard Spinning Jump, Acquire Cheap Death

This is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long while. That epic rant is just completely insane. Hahaha.

"It looks like it will only open if we fill it with all 100 power cells." "OH FUCK THA-"

Damn, the salt is real ladies and gents.

You missed a very PATHETIC death where he went to fight Gol and Maia on a moving platform... AND FELL OFF!

You could've just looped the 1 minute 40 second incident and it would've captured the essence of everything Phil. What kind of person he is, what kind of gamer, and why he should stop existing.

I love it how you add in the comments of your viewers. As long as your realizing it eventually XD. Subscribed for the comedy.

The amazing thing about not figuring out the triple jump is that he learned there's a spin attack (eventually), and then never thought "I should attack this flying enemy with the omnidirectional attack I've learned while jumping." Like, even when games spoonfeed reasons to try certain things or THE LITERAL ANSWER to him, he can't work it out. Also, wow, 5 and a half hours. I can't go that long when I LIKE a game; it'd be insane to do that while enraged and having a rough time (suggesting I'm missing something). Perhaps concurrently, I've never needed anything near that to learn a basic mechanic. Except once, in the Telltale Sam & Max. You can run by double clicking, if you ever play Seasons 1 or 2 of that.

04:18 Should be a clip. Phil asks for $150 from random people every stream now.

If the game doesn't work like an escalator then Phil gets lost easily.

I’ve never looked through the manual of a game to learn to play it. I just do trial and error in game.

Jak: What's happening, man? Why do I keep dying? Daxter: I don't know, man! I don't know!

Is DSP the UmbranAlchemist? He sounds like a DSP clone. He literally says everything Phil says word for word.

Salt x Mistakes + Rants = Pure Laughter

Phil _"I spawn, I die"_ Burnell, befouls yet another childhood classic

Wow, its amazing that he finds it in himself to rage over one of the most peaceful, bright and colorful, serene platformers out there. I mean, the beginning of Jak and Daxter is like taking a leisurely, stress-free stroll through a park on a sunday. But no, even here DPS manages to find something to rage about and act like the simplest game mechanics in the world are mystifying and out to get him...

I've been playing Jak and Daxter for literally two decades now- and I've never seen someone have this much trouble on Geyser Rock. This is going to be good.

4:24 the fucking irony.

This is a really well made "This is How You DON'T Play" video. Thank you for an hour and a half of laughter.

Insanity = doing the same thing over and over again to expect different results.

Did he seriously compare himself to Jesus when he was going on that rant in the Spider Cave? Good fucking god, Spider Cave definitely is a contender for most difficult level, but it isn't *that* hard.

1:00:30 - 1:08:00 HOLY BUTTHURT BATMAN.

I had no trouble with this game when I was what, 10 years old? And this 30 year old can't figure the first level out.

Yet another running theme of his. "I can't get past this part" = "the developers are trolling"

This guy is the WORST at EVERYTHING! Stop playing games if you can't even learn a simple control! X,X & O! Double jump and spin! Raging like a little kid I mean damn Phil, you're really pissing a lot of us off. It's still funny to watch you complain over and over.

For someone who plays video games for a living, he doesn't have a lot of gamer habits does he? For me when I start a game, I always experiment with the controls a bit to find out what I can do. DSP seems to need text that constantly pops up reminding him what to do, or a voice over to tell him. I find it hard to believe he's an actual gamer.

Phil didn't even 100%ed the game, and he also skipped Misty Island and the boss of Forbidden Jungle (Dark Eco Plant).

He's got the attention span of a child, he couldn't remember what a precursor orb was called or what a scout fly did at the end of that level.

I laugh every time I hear Phil call someone an "elitist" there's so much irony it hurts.

This single playthrough supplied me with a lifetime stock of salt. Plus my children, and their children. Three generations of salt contained in one video.

Phil: Adept at handling oily bananas.

There's a process to how Phil plays games. Don't listen, zone out, try to race through it, bitch about the game/developers, rinse repeat.

I love how he assumes that whenever someone is stuck at a section of gameplay for, what he probably thinks would be, more than 10 or 15 minutes, they look it up instead of bucking up and actually thinking about what to do. That's fucking rich. I know I've already seen plenty of his bullshit (and not just his very poor showmanship, sense of humor and skill), but I'm still flabbergasted at his inability to work with the game as any other competent gamer would. Working *around* it is another thing, and something you shouldn't have to do. I'll admit Jak and Daxter has some rare instances of camera or platforming problems, but about 95% of his troubles are from him probably not even trying at all or just lacking the appropriate (low level) of skill. There are MANY games out there that would seem like crocks of ass if the player wasn't able to properly... well, play it. I don't even care that Phil can't play very well. What I care about is his constant blaming of the game and just how much he dwells on a single mistake, all like a fucking 10 year old. "This is STUPID!", "So stupid.", "Yeah. Uh huh.", "Fuck this.", "Not my fault. Fuck you.", waa waa waa, etc.

That voice clip at the very end that said "This guy thinks he's so cool ... listening to him OVER and OVER!" Was that from Spyro?

Exactly. I KNOW I had my fair share of trouble with this game as a kid, especially in the last third of the game, but I was already comfortable enough with the controls to know that it was my own mistakes that killed me over and over, not the game's.

DSP: "I'm just trying to figure shit out for myself, cuz that's what I do when I play games, I figure shit out for myself" and now you have the stream chat hold your hand through every playthrough now

Phil's rant about people wanting precursor orbs starting at around 4:15 is really freaking ironic, especially considering he now uses Patreon.

I replayed this game a week ago and I kid you the same thing happened to me at 43:26. It looked near identical that I couldn't help but laugh at myself for making the same mistake as Dave

1:12 it's funny cause the instruction pamphlet/map that came along with the game DID list that control.

The funniest part is that the biggest challenge I had when I was a little kid was some parts got me too scared to play (lurker shark, spider cave [never wanted to go in there], Klaww, even the Dark Eco Plant) where as he just doesn't get the EXTREMELY BASIC mechanics and controls

I could watch this man fail for the rest of my life.

I have mental illness. I play this game better than he does. Yes I'm a 30 year old woman. And I don't complain about it. I can't stand people who complain. It takes effort and practice.

54:40 "no button does anything" except for the circle button/ the one he hasn't used in like the whole game

I like it how He's trying

I love how I played through this game in 13 hours when I was 8, and he's struggling on the basics.

I've never played Uncharted, but I find it hard to believe that it could be better than the original Jak & Daxter. Not saying that it's bad. In my opinion, Jak & Daxter is just that damn good.

I would love to see how quickly he'd rage-quit if he played "Prinny: Can I Really Be The Main Character, Dude?" That is a hard freakin' game!

46:00 THE MIRACLE!!!

this guy is funny
