"... And there are games everywhere, and my wife is complaining, and I'm like: 'you know what you married'..." This is the most awesome, unapologetic "I will Stand Up for what I Value!" statement ever! Bravo!

Mark Medina is my favorite guest, he fits in so well.

Usually Scoop is my Sunday Morning Coffee with a toke podcast but I couldn't wait its Resident Evil talk so now its my Wine down Friday Night

1:34 but 1st RE 10:45 Hit man 3 23:54 January games ? 30:08 Sam challenge 31:50 puzzle quest 3 32:54 gaming regret 37:55 1st 2nd 3rd party 40:38 DLC for backlog 47:36 20 questions boss rush

Things we learned in this episode. 1. Mark is willing to die for alot of things in regards to gaming 2. Games can smell like Pig Shit 3. Vampires dont Poop 4. If you exhale ALOT you lose weight! Who knew!

"...they can be untangled." I appreciate this remark.

I know it's Wikipedia, but it states "Through his relationship with Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong has become a prominent character in the Mario franchise."

Comission - question - "Is this part of the Donkey Kong Universe?" - yes. Could have assisted a poorly worded question there Damo! Justin has a point 👍

Starting with that straight banger Rambo NES song. Awesome...

Everybody’s camera is closer to their face. It makes the screen look like a fighting or beat-em-up game. Choose your character. I’d choose Sam; that mustache has its own set of superpowers.

I was convinced the D was Duck Hunt XD

11:25 Someone needs to tell Sam it doesn't matter what your download speed is if there is high/fluctuating ping and/or packet loss that could drastically affect performance. While I'm unsure how that works for cloud gaming, for any other online game it is *THE*MOST*IMPORTANT* aspect of stable online gameplay.

Really miss hearing Mark’s voice on Unlocked. Always happy when he pops up on an IGN show.

The easiest way to play the modern Hitman games is just open the menu and track the mission stories. Then replay the levels with that knowledge to do things in different ways based on the challenges and feats.

The way Daemon pronounced Tod made me think it was a reference to Terminator 2.

This is my Saturday mornings

Daemon and Sam's video in this episode is what it's like to play Hitman 3 on Switch

I'm same. Initial experience is important to me. Either play original and be done, or wait to play ultimate version with DLC included and experience all at once. 👍

I think Daemon started counting their guesses because they asked if it has Nintendo in the title, and then they asked if it was NintendoLand with two questions left and Daemon said that was it for questions.

This Kong controversy will live in infamy, in a rare commission split with the near infallible Daemon...this 20 questions result will be cleanly thrown out on a technicality of error. We sided with you on the great Batman in America debate, but this error cannot stand in good conscience.

love that pun "2nd person view in games are RARE" as Rare did it in Battletoads... lol.

Right in time for lunch break, thanks scoop crew👍

VR worked brilliantly for RE7.

I used to assume games were tested on target systems before launch but it's a very rare game these days that doesn't need some kind of patch to fix something after release.

For as great as Sam says his internet is... He and Daemon are the only ones with noticeable lag in their video

The commish here, Diddy Kong is in the Super Mario extended universe, which I rule was in the spirit of the question.

Regardless of "Is Diddy Kong in the Mario universe?" ...... which he definitely is, he is on Donkey Kongs vehicle as co-driver in Mario Kart Double Dash. He told them it was not a Donkey Kong Country game. I would definitely count it as a Donkey Kong Country spinoff. He should have rephrased the question back to them to clarify "Does it have Country in the title?.... no."

Diddy Kong Racing also on the DS, technicality!

I imagine Sam's Hitman III gameplay thus far must be very similar to his video footage for this weeks cast.

Donkey Kong in the Country series is DK Jr’s son. Cranky Kong is the original arcade DK

Congrats auntie Tina!

The 20 questions went off the rails.

Regarding the DLC discussion look up the Drakenguard 3 DLC, it's such a messed up situation. The game is exclusive to PS3, not available anywhere else. The DLC contains huge story beats that tie back to not just the main game but also Drakenguard 1 and both Nier games. The kicker is that the DLC has also never been put on sale, IT'S STILL $30 on the PS3 store with no way to play it on PS4 or PS5...

That intro music... The flashbacks

You guys are great! My favorite podcast

Diddy kong racing !!!!

Usually i'm totally lost on 20 questions but this was right up my alley and I was yelling DKR and Golden sun at my computer as soon as they asked the "are they in smash" question

Justin needs an OSSC to play his older consoles on a modern TV

Daemon and Justin might appreciate Monster Slayers. It's a card game that I put more hours into than even Slay the Spire.

OMEGA COPS RULE!!!

"Would this game smell bad" would be great to identify games that are more puzzle-y, for instance, since the answer would be "I cannot answer that question" letting you know this game cannot be smelled, because what would Tetris smell like? AND, more than likely this wouldn't even count as a question because there was no answer, so it's a real great cheat question for certain games.

Game Scoop brought to you on the Sega CD!

Puzzlequest is great if you haven't tried it.

Damn! Mark looking good

SOCOM was PS2 and PS3 and PSP.

Gems of War is a huge puzzle quest sequel actually I mean it is infinitely huge to be honest you can find it for free on console or mobile. You don’t have to spend a dime to play it it is free to play it is good enough to where you will drop a few dollars on it it’s that good and it can take months if not years to really finish.

Another great episode all! I thought for sure that the 'G' game was going to be something mean like Gyromite. :)

New question for the panel to ask. When you are trying to whittle it down to the Switch. After you ask if its on a cart. You can then ask does this game taste bad?

Although I realize he was just keeping count, I couldn't help but notice during the "Mario Universe" discussion Daemon was showing a middle finger to the camera. Coincidence?

MARK MEDINA! WOOOOO

The weekend begins! With Mark! Also, congrats Tina!

The hooded guys from re4 are back!

I dont have any regrets about selling any games or gaming systems

The vampires only puke if it's human food

I thought for sure the last two were gonna be NES Remix and Xenoblade Chronicles.

PC Games to play till Returnal arrives on Ps5 in March: Deep Rock Galactic & Everspace 2 Early Access.

Yeah, I would argue that Diddy Kong Racing is part of the extended Mario universe, at least for the purposes of 20 Questions. Diddy Kong and Kremlings have both appeared in Mario games, even if DK himself isn't in Diddy Kong Racing. Also, Diddy Kong Racing was released on the DS.

Take Daemon’s hosting abilities with his talent of counting to 20 on his fingers. Add in the soothing tone of Justin’s, “hey listeners”. Throw in amble helping of Sam’s stache. Then top it off with a guest appearance by Mark filling in Aunt-to-be Tina. Mix all that together and we get the recipe for another edition of the best gaming podcast (who am I kidding it’s the best gaming or otherwise) out there!!

Wow, Daemon and Sam running like cyberpunk does on a base xbox one s.

You forgot to explain Publisher and Developer....Publishers like Sony, will decide which games are to be made (Devs pitch them) and they'll pay for it, for the Developer (naughty dog, Bend, Sony Santa Monica, etct) to actually made the game. Publishers are at the top of the pyramid and Devs are below them

2nd person games (considering the perspective to the controlled character/vehicle) are the most common: platformers, brawlers, side/top/down shooters, most adventure games etc.

Somebody take that friggin' cup away from Justin!!!

Why's Dameon and Sam's screens choppy? Probably on MacBooks or something

scoop!

Sackboy buggy? Not for me, almost done and not one glitch or bug. Maybe I am lucky or Mark is unlucky.

RE2 Remake is one of my favorite games of the past decade. 3 Remake was mechanically and graphically as good but the overall package was a letdown compared to 2. Too short, too gimmicky. should have been a dlc for 2, not its own game, and would have been known as one of the best DLCs of all time instead of an underwhelming follow up to a modern remake masterpiece. Super excited for 8 although personally I prefer the third person RE to first person. Not just because I think it's easier on the brain, but it makes the graphics looks better as well when you are not all zoomed in on the geometry of the items and walls, not to mention one of the best parts of the recent RE games is how fucking good their playable characters look, so it's a shame to just cut that out of the equation.

Resident evil 7 on psvr is the best gaming experience I've ever had and I hope because 8 is gonna be on ps4 they bring it to psvr please please please capcom

Scoop

Oh man my biggest regret is easy to remember. Back when Final Fantasy arrived on the super Nintendo I went to game stop looking to buy a new game. I didn’t know what to get but everyone at school was talking about Final Fantasy. So that’s what I went and me and my grandmother said that’s what we were going to buy we were huge RPG fans. We asked for final fantasy for the.NES not the SNES. Big difference one was Final Fantasy 6 The other was Final Fantasy 5. Anyway the store clerk mistakenly grabbed the wrong game she gets the one for the SNES and me being the right child that I am continually points out to her that’s the wrong game that’s the wrong game I want the final fantasy for the Nintendo. My grandmother looks at me in shock and tear why are you telling this lady this let her give us the wrong game.

Another great episode. I always get excited when I hear , “hey listeners”, but it’s replaced by disappointment when you’re done checking in with them and another week passes and my email isn’t read. I’m starting to think I’m going directly into your spam folder. Ha ha

The two tutorial missions in Hitman 1 are the worst levels in the entire trilogy. Which is a shame, because a lot of people gave up on the franchise after stumbling through these two boring slogs. I suggest anyone starting the game fresh to skip them completely and jump into the deep end with Paris (Hitman 1) Miami (Hitman 2) or Dartmoor (Hitman 3). These are all amazing levels that are relatively easy to 'complete' while allowing a better feel for the actual mechanics and genius of the series, rather than sluggishly holding your hand through tutorials that are more of a bore than a help. Just jump in and fuck around... and make sure you save every time you think to yourself- 'I wonder what'll happen if I try this-'. Fucking genius games. Can't wait to see what they do with 007.

Biggest gaming regret is lending my FF3 for fucking Brain Lord 😡 never got my game back

He didn’t study those 8 years at discord school to be called mr

Mark you're not missing much by not playing Frozen Wilds. The story was fine but it was a bit of a slog to go thru

I'd have continued that 20 questions under protest, Diddy's home isn't wherever Sonic or that basic ass Megaman hail from

The reason why you didn't like Resident Evil 7 so much is because you played it wrong. PSVR is the only correct way to play that game. There seriously needs to be a heart attack, pee and shiz your pants warnings when you boot up Resident Evil 7 in VR.

You can’t compare the Switch doing a few games in cloud gaming vs a service made specifically for cloud gaming. That is like comparing a Mazda Miata to an F1 formula racing car. Sure you can race in a Miata but it’s not made for that. Lol. As for the whole CP2077 and dev kits, come on. First this was a ps5 dev kit and XSX dev kit. This was a PS4 and X1 consoles. I’m sure at this point if they needed more both Sony and MS would have been fine with getting them more. CDPR was making excuses when it was basically they didn’t give a shit about the consoles period. Let’s say they had 200 dev kits for the PS4. That means they knew when trying the game what it would look like and play like. Period. I mean the PS4/X1 issues went isolated to a say 1-2% of the player base. No it was all last gen consoles that couldn’t play. That is the same bs about back porting the game. CDPR had 8 years to get the game working on the PS4/X1. 2 consoles that were considered next gen when CP2077 was announced. The apology wasn’t an apology it was "let’s blame anything and everything we can". There is no excuse for CP2077 to have been released in that state it was. I don’t care if you could play it someone normal on the current gen. CDPR needs to be held accountable. MS should have grown some balls and removed the game from their store too. You can say Sony is anti consumer when a game gets a dlc character but when MS allows a broken game stay in their store no one says anything. CDPR needs to fined or whatever can happen. Refunds isn’t enough. Neither is fixing it. We as gamers have seen broken or unfinished games get released a lot now and it’s getting worse. There were many third party games released on both console generations. CDPR excuses are bullshit. Smaller and better devs have done more with less. Also want to say about if they couldn’t into their computer, as Mike said. Again that isn’t an excuse. You really don’t think CDPR could have sent that person a whole new pc with everything they needed to get up and running. Come on. South Park sent their employees setups to work from home. A broken computer is not an excuse. Lol. Plus, I would bet that a lot of those devs had the equipment they needed by the the company to their house. As most devs said about working in the pandemic, the biggest issue was doing voice recordings. The rest could be done from home. Lol broken pc being a part of the reason the PS4/X1 isn’t playable. Lol. Also the Switch’s power and screen isn’t going to be the same as playing on a ps5, pc, or XSX.

WHO the Hell watches a podcast of videogames and don't know what 1st Party and 3th Party studios mean??????????????? WTF???

Are Capcom the sponsors or are they paying off the IGN staff? Why? Because it’s eerily strange they all seem to have the same opinion with the first person. I think it’s cool but to think they should scrap the third person and just go this way moving forward: No.
