Random shoutout to Justin for just consistently being a pleasure , really appreciate your specific flavor of games and opinions , I feel guilty for under appreciating you, but I’ve come to realize it’s because you’re consistently great at being you that I almost don’t even think about it, but every time you’re on you crush it, keep on keeping on

Sam & Tina playing with Ricardo at 37:04 made my day 😂

This couldn’t have come at a more perfect moment.

On Justin's fear about trying to Pause cutscenes and fearing you accidentally skip it instead - I've found the Home/PS button to be a good alternative since it suspends the game. But yeah, the fear is real lol

I'm thankful for Just Cause 4 - it was the first video game I worked on as a character artist. I wish it'd been better received but I value the experience as the start of my game art career.

I'm thankful for: -Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare -Borderlands 2 -Chrono Cross -Dark Souls -Everybody's Gone to the Rapture -Fallout 3 -Genso Suikoden II -Heavy Rain -inFamous -Journey -Killzone 2 -Limbo -Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots -Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012) -Outland -Prince of Persia (2008) -Quake II -Resident Evil 3: Nemesis -Silent Hill -Terraria -Undertale -Vagrant Story -Windjammers -X-Men Versus Street Fighter -Yakuza 0 -Zone of the Enders II: The 2nd Runner

I'm thankful for Damon's music at the end. A E S T H E T I C V I B E S

Haven't watched the video but I already know it's gonna be a good one. I'm not from the United States but I am thankful for the best video game podcast weekly.

SCOOP! Thanks to you guys for creating an incredible podcast every week. Love the camaraderie and knowledge you guys bring to the gaming culture.

I definitely needed GameScoop early this week. Been sick this thanksgiving week and watched and finished today. Hopefully your show helps me feel better and bounce back for work next week.

Surprised INSIDE didn't land at the I spot

Do other viewers also notice Justin’s signature post-speaking deep inhale? He doesn’t do it after everything he says, just after saying things he feels might be controversial (my theory). Anyway, I’m deeply grateful for all these dudes and ladies, for their quirks and their personalities, and for getting to share in their collective joy. Thank you for Game Scoop!

N - Ni No Kuni Remaster is what I’m thankful for this year

Im thankful for The Last Of Us. The 1st game in my life where i choked up, now that is special for me. And Silent Hill 2 is the only game that actually gave me cold sweat from playing. Also a first. So i thank those games for pushing limits in games to heights i thought was unachievable! Going round 3 now with The Last Of Us before the epic continuation of this masterful story driven perfection, i cannot even imagine the heights it will reach both technically & emotionally! Games = Art because of what i just explained, like a movie makes you cry and freak you out, games are there with you as an active participator of molding your own live movie with a masterful blueprint that can be manipulated by the person behind the controller...now that is MAGIC!!!

I'm thankful for the Omega Cops! SCOOP!

I'm thankful for SCOOP.

Great episode as always!

Thankful for this scoop a week for years!

my favorite scoop group

My favorite video game show

What a cast!

Thanks for the show

Thanks for answering my question! I wholeheartedly agree that if the advertising makes some sort of sense for the world the game has built, then it’s way less offensive. I’d also add that games made specifically for advertising a real-world product are a pretty mixed bag but there have for sure been some gems (Cool Spot, Pepsiman, Yo Noid, etc). Also I was FOR SURE flexing on y’all. Bring it on anytime. 😎 😎😎 Keep up the great work! Always a pleasure tuning in every week.

Happy scoopgiving

There's been plenty of Pre-Black Friday deals for Switch (the new version) for less than $300 with a game. Even the Switch LITE was down to $175 yesterday.

I am thankful for how organised Tina is for each episode. The perfect complement to Sam's chaos with the random sound clip button presses and fiddlin' with Ricardo. Though they both ended up playing with Ricardo so maybe Sam's a bad influence. XD The discussion on the varying review scores between regional IGN outlets was interesting. What Justin and Tina suggest re: getting a feel for what critics approximate your own tastes in gaming is how I have approached reviews for many years now. IGN's podcasts certainly have helped with working out who are closer to my tastes too. Something I appreciate about Beyond and NVC recently is the post-review roundtable discussions for major releases. I like the interplay between differing opinions they offer which offers more feedback to the listener to make an informed purchase decision - especially if there's a question over the critic responsible for the review itself has substantially different tastes to the reader. I think it'd be great if IGN could incorporate such dynamics into their main review content in some way - it might cut back on the ridiculous angst over review scores. Though the podcasts themselves certainly do a good job providing those perspectives as is (maybe advertise them in the review article?).

Good show Scoop crew!

Happy Thanksgiving Omega Cops! As a Canadian boy it’s just a regular work day up here in the North

Was Justin thinking of Ducktales: The Quest for Gold? I loved that game! Never played the other one either

the NES classic and SNES classis are readily available refurbished on Nintendo's official website for $69.99 and $49.99, respectively.

Best outro music!

I believe the reason why Nintendo didn't patch games on the Wii was that it just wasn't possible. Same reason why there wasn't any DLC for the Wii either. The flash memory didn't allow for it.

Can Damon be my dad, or older brother. I just need Damon to be my mentor in some way!

My episode review: Justin 10 Daemon 10 Sam 10 Tina 10 Ricardo 10 Scoop!

There has been some great games this year. Outer Worlds is a dream come true for an Og Fallout NV fan. Sekiro had the best souls combat that has ever ever been made.By far Days Gone was my favorite game of this year. I replayed it 3 times. I think its criminally underrated from the media.

Corny, but I’m thankful for Gamescoop, Beyond, NVC, etc...I really enjoy the hell out of these shows. Also surprised nobody threw out Lumines for the L-game.

L- Interesting, no one seem to be thankful for not even one Legend of Zelda 🤦🤷

Ricardo O’Skeleton is doing the Hawaiian King Kamehameha salute

Regarding the staff reviews, I just want to say that I love the idea. Obviously it's not realistic for every game, but I hope to see you all doing that whenever possible. Also: Great show as always! You guys rock.

I play an alphabet game with my daughter where we pick a category and have to name something related for each letter of the alphabet. I fully get Justin's dilemma! Out on the spot it can be really hard to think of even the most obvious ones! And yes, when we play, I mostly choose videogames as my category!

32:58 Sliders, best show ever!

For X - Xenon 2 megablast sunk endless hours into that on my megadrive really good shump, awesome sound track

I think Justin might have dyslexia the way he's answering these alphabet questions....lolz

41:00 in Alan Wake, it's not the battery brand we find ridiculous. It's all of the Verizon phone ads. But great game.

I'm shocked Sam didn't like any of the Ninja Gaiden games. I played the first one this year and loved it!

Have none of these guys ever played Xenogears? That game was an absolute (though unfinished) masterpiece.

Tina: reviews are opinions Also Tina: if you hated RDR2 you're wrong 🙄

Tina is my spirit animal!! K for Kingdoms of Amular!!! Solid deep cut!

This is the perfect group. The fantastic four. I wish this was a daily show. With each having different tastes, you get many different views. Love the show. For me reviews, don’t affect whether I buy a game or not. When it comes to spending $60 I’m trusting my opinion only. I usually look for gameplay videos more then anything. Ones that don’t spoil or ruin the game. I will lookup reviews now and again. But I just don’t trust them. Especially with what I have read and seen with reviews. The surge 2 is an example. I got the game and loved it. I looked into reviews because some had really different scores. One review said the look was of the environment was bad and the enemies were boring but another review said the environment looked great and the enemies were refreshing or something like that. It’s like 2 different games were reviewed. I get personal opinions are what reviews are, but certain aspects should differ that much. I remember someone reviewed Quantum Break and the reviewer was surprised that the game got any good reviews because he said it was a bad game. Again reviews can differ but when one reviewer gives a game a 6 and another reviewer gives that same game a 9 it’s like they reviewed 2 different games. DS is a perfect example of this. Dan giving it a 6.8 and others giving 8s and a some 9s. When there is such a huge disparity in a score like that and it’s usually only 1 or 2 reviews that are like that to me that means the reviewer just was the wrong person to review the game. If the game got most 8s and a few 9s but has this really low score for a review that tells me that person doesn’t play those games. I seen this happen with the last Batman game. The reviewer game it a 7 something. When he talked about his review he came out and said that he doesn’t play these types of games.

Ducktales for PC was amazing! Q - Eh, Quake..?

Game breaking bug in Nintendo game on the Wii. Sam, you were thinking of Zelda: Skyward Sword. If you talked to a certain Goron at the wrong time/out of order. The next progression event would permanently fail to trigger. Nintendo put out a free app on the eShop that you would use to fix the game if you hit the bug.

For X, XIII it was so cool for the time!

DOOM or Duke Nukem 3D for D! I've fond memories of the Ducktales game for PC. Well done, Mr Davis on pronouncing esports correctly.

Thank you Goose Camp :)

I think stories can be "serious" and absurd at the same time...though Death Stranding doesn't always do it well. And I would be upset if Activision for example did product placement, but because that would be so clearly a corporate decision. With DS, it's Kojima deciding for his own game. I just want the liberty

Omega cops at their best

Where can we get Game Scoop merch???

He needs a Santa hat and a menorah.....lol

G - Galak-Z. One of the best games every created.

Wow thanks giving treat came early (in new zealand)

I’m sad Justin couldn’t even say Donkey Kong for D

There was a Ducktales game for the Amiga and it was like the pc version but a lot better.

How do you not immediately think of Doom...

God of War. Half-life. Legend of Zelda. Metal Gear Solid. Portal. Phoenix Wright. Resident Evil. Vanquish. Omega Cops, be more vigilant!

"Am i thankful for Lemmings!!?"

Ha!! That's no anagram. CO-OP MAGES!!

Somebody remembers Parodius! Please release the collection in the Switch please!!!

Yo Damon where'd you get that hat?! I love it

the A-team, and super early? That's what I'm thankful for :D

I'm surprised Daemon didn't say Inside for "I"

How many old video games are you thankful for

How to detract publishers from inserting obnoxious product placements? Everytime you see one, don't buy that product for a week. The same could go for microtransactions. If you encounter a player online who has clearly spent a lot on microtransactions, block them. Eventually, these behaviours will be corrected. Goose Camp viewers you have the power.

I’m thankful for Bad Dudes.

Amazing episode, but I did find myself groaning when they were looking for a game starting with "P", they had just mentioned humor in games, and no one came up with portal or portal 2. Great segment through and I definitely had issues with some letters myself.

Sad that the reader write in felt like he had to pre-emptively apologize for liking Kojima games, as if they haven't consistently been some of the most seminal and celebrated games in history.

I am thankful of Fallout New Vegas , Resident Evil and last but not least Silent Hill : )

I am thankful for Yoko taro, Hideo kojima, Hidetaka Miyazaki and Shinj Mikami.. Edit Shinji*

I got pretty luck with Jedi Fallen Order, haven't had a single problem in 17h of playtime.

Sad that neither the X-Wing games nor Xenogears was brought up under "X"

Valkyria Chronicles

D - dark souls 2 hands down for me

best product placement: mercedes benz in mario kart

Can't believe Daemon got Y and didn't pick a Yakuza game

Damon didn’t go with a Yakuza game?!

My only issue with fallen order was framerate dips. They got especially annoying when trying to do some intricate platforming. Other than that I like the game pretty well. It's kind of bare bones imo. There isnt much replay value there but hey its definitely the best Star Wars game since.......unleashed I think? P.s I fucking hate the sliding. Like deep hatred.

Vandal Hearts for V.

Activision would have charged us players with a micro transaction every time we ate a Doritos to replenish health, that's the difference.

Can we all send in our alphabetical lists and have you guys read out 1 of them out? Or a mix of several lists? Maybe some real unknown pearls will pop up

I'm thankful for: Apex Legends Bioshock Chrono Trigger Donkey Kong Country Excitebike Final Fantasy 9 God of War (2018) Hollow Knight International Superstar Soccer Jade Cocoon King of Dragons Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Mega Man X Need for Speed: Most Wanted Overwatch Pokémon Gold/Silver Quake Red Dead Redemption 2 Super Mario World Trials of Mana Uncharted 3 Vigilant 8 Witcher 3 XCOM 2 Zombie Driver

9:33. Only the first game on Super Nintendo is "Super Mario Kart", every other Mario Kart is just "Mario Kart." Also, no mention of Donkey Kong Country for D?

Scoooooooooop!

They cut off Justin's story 😂

I was about to say. FUCKiN raspberry pi homie!!!!

Skyward Sword was the wii game nintendo patched.

How could they miss Deus Ex! Classic D game

i am thankful for the love jesus has for me, pokemon, my friends and family, scotch whisky, coffee, my dogs, and the letter Q

SCOOP! The name is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi Island not Yoshi Island.

i love that most of these games are actually not that great

I’m thankful for Tina, she’s not aMeany.

V: Vanquish
