No one even chuckled at “zero fox given”?! I laughed out loud. A lot.

Daemon Hatfield is one of the very best hosts ever!!! Watch him control the room

I love how Daemon unexpectedly finds out that he might be colorblind in this....

Daemons right I clearly remember games being $49.99 for quite some time before they were eventually raised to $60

"They're different games but I don't think Daemon knows that" the way Sam said that so candidly had me 😂😂😂

That closing music! Super Mario RPG is definitely one of the most underrated game OSTs around.

PS2, Xbox and GameCube games were most definitely 50 bucks back in that generation. The PS3 and 360 till present time is/are 60 bucks.

Game Scoop has been so good for so long, it's truly incredible. Thanks for all the years of Scoop!

I love game scoop! I appreciate the opinion of everyone in the panel. Thanks

No Tina.. 😕

Nice job Justin! I was thinking Captain Toad despite it coming to Switch eventually. Love the long outro of Super Mario RPG music at the end!!

We have a local theater here that is 4DX and I actually got to watch Star Wars Episode IX Rise of Skywalker and the experience of actually having water sprayed at me while watching the scene of Kyle Ren and Reí fighting in that one scene was just epic and felt so awesome! I loved it!

GameCube, PS2, and Xbox were $50. 360 was the system that set the "standard" game price at $60. Nintendo 64 was always an exception. I remember paying $40-80 for new games on it

LOL. The Forest Maze theme from Mario RPG is my ring tone, so when it came on at the end of this episode, I ran to my phone to answer it.

Love Thursday's Scoops!!

Kept thinking the 20 questions game was Captain Toad Treasure Tracker! Fits alot of the questions asked. Thanks for another great episode Omega Cops, scoop!

Janet bringing it this episode! Nice work!

Stunning recoup on the 20 questions! Thought you were doomed there.

keep them coming best show on ign

AC: Odyssey only had controversy because the buy XP option was available. You had to do more side quests in Witcher 3 to level up and there was no controversy about that.

I still recall spending $59.99 for Zaxxon for the ColecoVision. I bought many of the NES Black Box games in 1985 for $22 each, in the late 80's/ early 90's some Genesis games were $65 (Revenge of Shinobi, Golden Axe, for example)-$79.99 (Phantasy Star III), Virtua Racing was $99.99. And on the N64 the default prices were $69.99 for 1st part Nintendo games, and some 3rd party games, such as Shadows of the Empire were $89.99.

I love how Justin was surprised that the Mac had internet lol

Justin with the violent f bomb lol

We’ve all gone forward in time...scoooop!!!!

Checks watch, checks KZfaq....Still the best gaming show of all time. SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!

The in-game resource surfacing platform could've come in handy on this week's 20 Questions!

No intentionally inflated XP grinds just to entice microtransactions. Balance the game or have multiple difficulty settings. If I need help, strategy guides and tips are available online.

someone should do a collage of daemon's faces during video game 20 questions

On bugs; I never completed majora's mask. Got stuck on the water temple. Found out in the last 12 months it was a bug, if you did something in a certain order a door wouldn't open.

I'm with Justin on AC Odyssey. I had zero problems with XP. I never got locked out of a mission for being too low level and I didnt do anything other than just play the missions as they came including side missions. I'm not saying it didn't happen that way for others, it's just that from how I played I don't see how anyone had to grind for hours to play the next main mission, I mean unless they were ONLY doing main missions. Also. My first rage quit when I broke a N64 controller playing Goldeneye. I had all levels beat on the hardest difficult except for Control. It took me months to do it but I remember needing to get to the elevator at the end of the level and I died as the elevator door were opening. This was seriously my like 300th attempt and until then I had never gotten that far. So naturally I blacked out in anger. Fortunate for me there were no living things around me at the time. lol

I’d like to listen to an entire episode where Janet actually only says positive comments, about games she ACTUALLY likes - I understand being critical, but she manages to always find something negative to bring to every episode she’s in

Battle pass is mostly for free 2 play games or for £40 games that release dlc for free instead of a season pass. Assassin's creed rips you off by charging for 2xp and also hiding the best armour behind a paywall. Plus it also has a season pass which is fine but they dont need to charge up for extra xp.... they should of atleast put it in the ubisoft club

Meanwhile in Canada we’re paying 80$ a game.

I feel pretty good since I got 20 questions when they figured out it was on Wii U. I started to doubt myself when they thought it was Smash Bros, but Daemon reassured me when he gave the hint.

What was the song played at the end of the podcast? I was jamming on it but cant figure it out..... thx!!!!!

I think the Wii games were priced regionally, they were the same price as PS3 and 360 games in Canada, and that was $80CAN (still the normal price for AAA Switch/PS4/Xbox games)

Hey, Sam did a great job on the Kinda Funny Gamecast as a guest. I was sad that he didn’t say, “Fut’s up everybody!”

Some of the street fighter games on snes were 79.99 at least locally where I grew up.

Movies do ''stick their hand out'' in a way, because they have brand placements and almost ads in them.

Damian is right, game cube games retailed at 49.99 in 2001

What's that song at the end??

I specifically remember my parents being mad that NES and SNES games were $50 back in the day. It's why my brother and I only got two a year: One on Christmas, and one on our birthday.

LOL Daemon, I also kicked a hole through drywall after playing a game. It was street fighter alpha 2, some hard mode or something.

Carts definitely varied in price depending on the game and the deal Nintendo had struck with publishers all the way through N64 from what I can remember, even if I wasn't aware of it when I was younger. The average cart usually cost $50-60. I remember that GBC and Wii games were absolutely $49.99 retail while the 360 and PS3 games jumped to $59.99 retail.

I was so sure it was super Mario maker, to the point of which I found myself asking "did it have multiplayer?". Nicely job, guys

They don't have to charge more for games. While game cost is the same and development cost went up there are a LOT more people buying games and with digital being so much more popular as well that logic just doesn't hold.

What's the music at the end of the video after Dameon says, thank you, and we're out

I think a Bioshock movie would be pretty cool to see that story

Zero Fox Given...thank you so much Sam

Don't agree with Sam's sentiment of "I just want to be done with my game" - I play games because I enjoy the challenge they bring. If the game had me press 2 buttons to beat it and the rest of it was just me watching cinematics, then I may as well be watching a movie or a let's play video. No - give me a reasonably challenging game (maybe include optional difficulty levels) and let me play the game without telling me "hey, for just $4.99 you can buy an I WIN button and let us beat the game for you!"

Nice shirt Daemon!

Gears of war started the 59.99 standard. However there were a few games that cost more but didn't set a trend. if I'm remembering correctly. Donkey Kong country (snes) Golden eye (n64)

GameCube games were definitely $50. Games weren't $60 until the 360/PS3 generation.

Super Mario Maker coulda worked too. Originated on Wii U but ported to 3DS, it has platforming but the entire game isn’t a platformer, it has the Mario family but Amiibo allows you to include other characters. I had that, NES Remix, and Smash in my head all pretty early on.

I don't remember Genesis games sounding this good.

Wait Song already does this without micro transactions you can click any trophy you have issues with and it has an option to look up a guide for it

Papagenos theme at the end there...

Great Scoop.Missed Tina

This might be the first time I got the 20 question game before question 10. It was painful waiting.

GameCube and Wii were definitely $50. Day 1 Wii I added Zelda Twilight princess for additional $50. I didn't play 360 or PS3 games so I was completely shocked when Wii u went to $60

What's the other show u host damon, about the consoles?

I come from the Atari age, there was 4 games you could find at zellers.

Anyone know what song is at the end of the Podcast not the video?

what's the song at the end?

Wait this is a day early

Gandalf Doesn't say Mellon in the book? I was sure he did.. I know that in the book it is gandalf's idea to say it while in the movie it is Frodo's.

"You can see colors?!"-Daemon You might...be red/green colorblind? @_@

Sony should monetize an optional AI Thumb, so we gamers can eat uninterrupted while gaming.

I would love to see a Bioshock (or at least a Bioshock-like) movie. It's not even the story of the game that makes me love it, it's the SETTING. Steampunk in general - there are SO FEW good steampunk movies and most of them are not heavy enough into steampunk (like Wild Wild West - there were elements of steampunk, but you wouldn't REALLY call it a "steampunk movie").

Ok so I remember the price jump from 50 to 60 dollars. It was being talked about in magazines and topic of conversation with friends. It was controversial. Now looking back and comparing just a price jump to a million(exaggeration) micro-transactions I prefer a price jump. Sell games brand new for 70 or 80 dollars, but that’s it. Release the game completely finished with 70 or 80 dollars worth of content or release the game like we do now and all DLC, boosts, skins/outfits, weapons packs are open for you to download for free. I could work with that. If a developer decides to try and scam the players and not make a game worth the money and no extra content afterwards they will have ruined themselves. No one will buy games from them again. We are the players we have control of our money. They aren’t making us pay so spend your money wiser. Don’t let these disconnected investors think that you’re going to pay them no matter what crap product they put out. Thanks for all the great work guys. Always enjoy watching when I can and listening when I can’t. Be good y’all.

There is one more game that fits... mario maker. Ported to the 3ds, has platforming, but its primarily a level construction tool. It has costumes of other nintendo characters...

Hibari from River City Girls is an example of rage quit for me...

Sam gave NES Remix 2 a 7.7 (good) when it came out. 🤔

How about games offering you to max out your guns for $1 or max out your health for $1 or jump to the next check point for $1 ???

I still would like to see a big budget Halo movie.

I remember games were 49.99 ps2 games especially

I thought NES games were 60... also, movies in whatever format is popular have typically been 20, but blu ray seems to be able to charge 30 consistantly

51:50 Cheeky

Who here loves it when they let an F bomb slip!?!!😎🤘🏼👏🏼👏🏼👺🙏🏼

I was convinced the 20 questions game was Super Mario Maker. Besides the multiplayer question, everything else seemed to fit.

In regard to in game prompts/help AI, I'm currently playing Stardew Valley, and I genuinely need to know what everyone's favourite gifts are on their birthday, otherwise I would need to wait an entire in game year to try again. I'm perpetually bringing the wiki up on my phone to check, and would appreciate if it was available in game via an AI assistant, or something similar. It doesn't have to be full on game breaking cheats, just the sort of things you might find in a beginners guide video on KZfaq.

Wait! What color does Daemon think Piranha Plants are?

I was buying PS2 games at 49.99. I guarantee it. I remember buying Socom 3 or Combined Assault and looking at that 49.99 at gamestop. on day 1 launch.

I got a Wii before I bought a PS3 & I did notice the PS3 games all being $10 more.

i only remember N64, PS3 and 360 games being 60 dollars. everything else was always 50 bones

35:52 not she? no no no my friend, it's Streets of Rage 2 composed by none other than the Legendary Yuzo Koshiro.

Sporcle is actually a really good site! Many hours at work have been spent on that site

Yeah I never threw a controller cus it's almost like buying a game to replace it

I rage quit Heart Of Darkness on PS1. I almost threw the disk out the window. Best game to play with your friends overnight is Resident Evil 2 OG or Super Metroid. At least those are some of my fondest high school memories. I beat Donkey Kong Country when I was a kid. I can't do it now. I don't know how I did that 30 years ago.....

Games were 50 bucks for a bit when I was young an then they went up to 60. Facts

The exp share item has been around much longer than 🌞 and 🌕 but maybe she wasn't talking about that 🧐

Throwing controllers was way worse when they are wired

I couldn't agree less with Sam about games being bad at telling stories, it's just a different story telling. You are experiencing the story as gameplay. I don't mean the meta way of like your experience as a person is the story I mean the game is showing you the story of the character you are playing, as you play. Like if you gotta climb a cliff that would be an action scene in a movie or a paragraph in a book but in a game you get to do it to an extent. Same goes with swimming, fighting, exploring and gathering. That IS story telling as there's predetermined events etc, its just interactive storytelling. I guess I'd agree if you specified it's passive story telling they suck at

Alternatively, 1917 is a good movie that can be a video game

Goomba pop up LOL

DKC - Bossed it!! 😆

I rage quit nioh on the second level after I got really far and hit a wall, which then killed me. It took me about a year to get back to it, but I finally completed the main game. Maybe I'll go back to the new game plus someday soon

Not sure how they got transfixed thinking Smash Bros has platforming as per a platform game and that Donkey Kong Country would qualify as a sometimes platformer. When asking about exclusivity, always ask at time of release and forget if it got ported. Platform exclusive is better than console exclusive too. This was a 20 questions that should have been won after 12 if the gang hadn't derailed themselves. WU exclusive, Nintendo published, some platforming, it could only be NES Remix. .

Daemon and Janis are right. Games we're $50 until the Xbox 360 came out.

Would you like to turn microtransactions off? Yes. Ps I would. Audience applauding:)
