Sam: “Hey, Daemon, can you tell us all you know about breech births?” Daemon: “But(t) first!”

Hey I'm Robert from FL!!! Thanks for picking my suggestion Daemon !

Ahhh, the Mass Effect soundtrack was such a nice surprise at the end.

Daemon Hatfield "the bad boy of gaming" 😂

I love how you keep the games as the focus of the podcast. I have unsubscribed many podcasts because they tend to start focusing more and more on the 'personalities' talking in them. We're all here because of the games, the true stars of the industry.

So funny: when they were told about the "or-questions"-trick in 20-questions, but couldn't handle its massive power 😆

The Mass Effect trilogy absolutely blew me away in how thorough and massive the galaxy felt. Plus the narrative design and how many choices have real, tangible effect on how your game plays out. When its comes to ARPGs, there is just nothing better for me personally.

First time I've sat and listened to the full end-of-video music in quite a while. ME truly has one of the best soundtracks in gaming.

It's taken more from Monster Hunter World than BOTW

When I saw the mammoth, the first thing that came to mind, “ Cersei wants elephants” forgive me 😂😂😂

Classic Swaim Scoop

Swaim would have a cat named Llewellyn Davis because he continues his streak of excellence. Swaim Scoop!

I feel for Tina, she’s probably having a rough time with the recent controversy seeing as she’s the EIC. Plus there’s E3 prep. Hope she’s back next week. Michael is always a welcome replacement though.

YES! Nailed 20 questions as soon as they narrowed it down to action RPG. Must be a Florida thing because I loved it too. 20 questions spoilers-Also Daemon was wrong, there was a sequel on PS2 called "Musashi: Samurai Legend". It was pretty average even by PS2 RPG standards but I still enjoyed it and miss the series.

Nice to get a cameo from Carv Edgerton on Game Scoop!

I'm still waiting for my Banjo-Threeie announcement! lol

I don't like a stamina meter on climbing tbh. I like moving around in the world fast and I feel held up by having to solve a puzzle while climing.

A spoiler warning to the audience before the ME3 ending discussion probably would have been a good idea for all the people playing the trilogy for the first time with the new remaster.

Justin, it's not Playground Games that is working on the next Forza, it's Turn 10 Studios.

Sweet pins man

New Horizon game looks insane man. So beautifull. And its open world! Crazy

Musashi I had forgotten completely about that game wow such a masterpiece!4

The first game that brought over saves and changed the story at all that I could remember was The Suffering 1&2 on PS2 and Xbox

I like mean if you still argue breath of the wild have the best open road mechanics we’ve seen. Literally been able to climb anything speaks volumes. There is a reason why other game developers have not done that it’s because it’s not easy to do. In many cases it requires them to blow up part of their game design. Theoretically you would literally have to take a climbing puzzle that has a definite finite solution and introduce the possibility of infinite solutions to it. The idea of going from one point to another and having a fixed linear path to that point goes out the window. Just look at Rison it’s self how many puzzles did we complete where the path was determined you simply had to find it. Imagine if you could climb anything in the game the puzzle gets blown apart. Sadly most of these developers are not ready to build a map with these ideas in mind. Keep in mind breath of the wild with in development for years and I thought about this from the beginning. No one else has. So while I love this franchise I’m always going to compare it to the game that came out right around the same time when it initially did and I’m always going to say you still haven’t measured up to their simple open world mechanics. Do you have a great glam play nice graphics but it still sucks I can’t climb anything despite the fact I should be able to. We talk about breaking the third wall well this is like a wall that we’ve come to notice shouldn’t be there now. Theoretically she should be able to climb anything in that game just about so now people will ask the question why can’t she.

gosh, so much Mass Effect music ❤️❤️❤️

I totally went to that same cat circus. They had a chicken too!

Swaim makes my day ☺️

37:20 Bold claim after mentioning the Elder Scrolls series in the same episode lol

Swaim is such a smooth commentator and he fits really well Goose Camp. More Swaim on podcasts please!

Breath of the wild was a great game but it had virtually no story, just environmental really. Horizon had a very good story. Both games had cool mechanics & settings. I think considering guerilla had never done an open world game before it was more impressive how well it turned out. I loved both games & can't wait to play their sequels.

I love that a sentient gust of wind that guides you to an objective, is more believable than climbable terrain that’s been marked by paint 😆.

Swaim episode, hell yes!!

If you look closer Lombard street is in there too. 8:20

id love for banjo and kazooie to come back in a big way as microsofts answer to the mario and ratchet and clank platformer mascot genre

They used bird poop in Infamous Second Son to highlight were to climb🤣

Don’t let Godzilla read the title of this video

Boston has trolleys!

this episode should be named game cats

The game will also be set in Santa Barbara

Resident Evil 7 was better than 8 it was scarier But resident evil 8 was a great game and the ability to go back and play it is so cool Had so much fun with both and that baby on RE8 super scary

Mass Effect cannon makes me think of infamous 2nd sons where they made the top trophy ending the true ending for infamous 2.

I want game on “first contact war”

What a way to start the Memorial Day weekend!!! Swaim Scoop edition. I’ll be spending my Holiday remembering all the good times I’ve had over the years with the Goose Campers! Nicely Job, guys!! Have a safe and fun Memorial Day!

At this point everyone pretends as if Breath of The Wild invented every damn game mechanic in this world.

6:04 Let's hope the BotW sequel also adds that because underwater swimming was the most frustrating thing they left out of that Zelda game in my opinion.

Biomutant: Turning down the narrator option isn’t enough. Turn down speech volume in the audio settings.

I'll take the glider but that's about all I want from BotW in Horizon. I don't need to climb everything in every game as long as it has verticality that's intuitive. BotW 2 could use a lot of upgrades like actual dungeons that are fun. Can't wait to play both!

What was the outro music? I heard it before but can't remember the name.

I just can't believe that this cat conversation actually happened. Like wtf, is this real life right now? You know? I mean, it just goes on. I'm in the twighlight zone.

Cat circus what a win 😆😂😁😊

The game looks fantastic , major improvements over the first one.

If you have a "burning" question, where do you post it?

Give us the uncensored version For PC

Falout 76 was not done by the big team at Todd Howards studio. He compiled a small team to make that game. It was supposed to be a quick game development with little to no content where players made the content

niceee Gameee thx Guerrila Gamesss thx broo

Love you guys. The best and only gaming podcast

I fore one completed RE8, loved it, but won't ever play again... Not afraid to say, parts of it, especially House Beneviento got to me!

How does the dude in the bottom right have a job? He thought Hellblade was made by Team Ninja, thought The Coalition was developing Perfect Dark, and didn’t know Playground Games was Developing Fable. Also apparently doesn’t know that Playground Games has a separate team from the Forza team working on Fable. Can I have his job? 🤦‍♂️

Yes

Didn't God of war have ..specific markings for walls which you can climb haha

I'm really suprised and glad to hear Sam enjoys RE5 that much, it gets a bad wrap since it's the follow up to one of the greatest and my personal favorite game of all time RE4!!!

16:11 I'm 500% more excited about Starfield than about any potential Fallout news to be completely honest.

Resident evil village is not scary not when you have a 9 foot tall mountain of a woman who wants to give you death by snu snu

Totally think it's crap I have to wade through shows I don't care about to get to the best of the best (Gamescoop). The only gaming podcast. It also sucks it's attached to IGN. Love you damy and crew.

Microsoft teased Starfield with the E3 poster. The Planet featured in the poster is the same planet featured in the Starfield teaser from a few years back. They also teased Forza Motorsport 8 with that poster because the ring around the planet made it look like a tire

The bleakest intro music ever!. Are we all dead along with the rest of the galaxy 😜😂

Great Discussion!

I am still playing metal gear solid five.

And where did BotW steal the glider from? Being able to climb, grapple, and climb is nice and all, particularly while in combat, but I need a flying mount!

People talk about this 'Bethesda pattern' of announcing a game at E3 and releasing it that same year...yet, um... its like only happened twice and with the same franchise, Falllout... Every other game they have released they have often announced or at least teased projects further out... I know Tod Howard has said he wants to announce and release games early as close as possible but still, its not set in stone, and certainly not for a game thats not Fallout... So basically even if Starfield isnt coming till later next year, they still might show us a decent 5 mins of gameplay and save the big 30 min blowout for next year... We wont see ES6 for at least another 2-3 years, sorry people... :P Also... Um... Playground has 2 teams, so 1 team can work on Forza titles and other can work on Fable... They expanded to have a whole seperate team for Fable... :) (PS: Love Mass Effect and Im one of those people who liked Andromeda lol...)

RE3 remake was good but a short cash grab. Remember that was the whole point of the game. They literally took the engine from the second remake used it to quickly make the third remake and put it out there to get some cash. And they saw how popular the second game was and said we need to make the third game really quick do it now. The fact that it was short didn’t matter to them what mattered was that it would sell.

Why does everything have to be “BotW-ized”? Climbing everything just doesn’t hit me like it did everyone else I guess. I hate that Horizon has this weird attachment to BotW because of release date. It never was meant to be BotW.

And they had to hold this game back so it can still run on the ps4. Amazing.

Cat Scoop

Cat Scoop is awesome!

Swaim is fantastic!

I really hope Microsoft allows Bethesda to withhold game information until the E3 before it comes out. If Starfield isn't due until the end of 2022, then I don't want to see it until E3 of 2022. This has been a fantastic strategy for Bethesda and I wish more companies would follow it. Please Microsoft, don't screw that up.

I agree totally about Biomutant. It's decently fun but the narrator is outrageously annoying, it would have been so much better if there was just regular dialogue.

So regarding Game AI, Xbox has been doing Drive-atar. Where all the bots in your Horizon racing games are you actual friends AI. So Xbox has been doing this for years.

I don't see Breath of the Wild unless you're talking about the glider than all I got to say is look at Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, heck even Ape Escape all have glider. Glider have been a thing way before Breath of the Wild!

Why does everybody at ign own a cat?

I am not in a hurry, I want to play a finished game, with nice gameplay and without bugs, if it's ready at the end o 2022 it's okay to me. Please not another andromeda/no man's sky/cyberpunk 2077/falout66/assassin creed Valhalla... and the list can go on....we just need a finished game at the real state of GOLD version/ no problem day 1 patch/ but finished game, this industry is killing himself by greed.

I will not tolerate Mega Man Legends slander!

I love the show and have relistened to every episode on spotify three ish times now. But could we see if it's at all possible for mr. thesaurus/ justin to go one episode , one whole episode without the use of the words "like" and "you know?" Some sentences contain upwards of 4-5 "likes," I wish I was exaggerating. Again love the show, Daemon is the man.

20-Questions No, no, no, no... as someone strictly against cheating, even playing against the spirit of a game (and regularly refuse developer built-in 'cheats', for example playing on Easy) I think the multi-part question in 20-Questions is fundamentally wrong. As any question can essentially become three, four, or more rolled into one, that feels like (hyperbole alert!!) playing a videogame using a guide, an aimbot, having a group of gamers who've already finished the game, and the developer sitting beside while you guide a speed runner who may advise against your suggestions! It's Hang Man with all but two letters filled out. It's Monopoly with all the money except a little loose change given to the rest. It's chess against a player with one pawn and the King. It's starting a race one step from the finish line. It's a racing car against bicycles. Egg and spoon race with a handy tube of glue. It's press A to complete game and unlock and earn all achievements. Mass Effect On a more serious note; I completely agree with the positive comments on the original Mass Effect. For me the game was so amazing that it's literally one of only two third person games I've ever enjoyed! Tried so many that I love everything about outside of that view and rarely last ten minutes before I'm overwhelmed with hatred for the most illogical and atomospheric-destroying view. It's also the only game I've ever had the soundtrack play on. I consider it think the single best game story, combined with the best characters in terms of design, writing and acting. It's only notable issue for me is that it couldn't be played in first-person. Completely agree that the first game was so unbelievably rich in lore, so complete, believable and fleshed out it could have easily spawned as many movies and TV shows as Star Wars or Star Trek, and now I'd go as far to suggest the Marvel cinematic universe. What I completely disagree with anyone/everyone on is the way its sequels handled, or should I say threw out and rewrote it base gameplay systems and mechanics. The developers should have been more careful about the original systems they designed and been confident enough to carry them through to the sequel. Or if they were so keen on a simplistic cover shooter with next to no RPG mechanics, started the franchise that way. Nothing against the idea of redesigning the ship, or altering weapon designs (as along as they followed the same customisation abilities as the first game) but to strip the importance and relevance of stores that were previously treasure troves to search for and purchase upgrades, in order to consider and plan a strategy for the next encounter ripped the heart out of the franchise for me. Even as someone who normally outright refuses to use sniper rifles (boring weapons, dullest virtual combat imaginable) or shotguns (too easy) I was more than happy to be forced to use them when applicable to a character type as this RPG mechanic simply replicated how all military organisations limit your weapon choice; a perfectly logical game system. As was the lack of proficiency in weapons unsuited to the class as it replicated the lack of training and experience the character would have with them. As for Andromeda; the moment it was announced that the game would take place in a whole new galaxy I had a similar reaction to Sam. If a writer, let alone team, can't think of hundreds, let alone just one story in the Milky Way as presented in the first game I think that's a clear indication they're in the wrong career.

Is not like BotW was the first with a "glide" action. Let's see how critical IGN is to BotW2 if more not-original mechanics are added.

Cat Scoop! 🐱🐾

It's pretty disingenuous to reject Botw inspirations. Obviously the devs would've tried to address HZD v Botw comparisons everyone was doing back in 2017. OK other games had gliders before Botw (including by the way skyward sword), but just Occam's razor here til the developers confirm/reject it, are they more likely to have taken inspiration from a recent open world game that sold a ton and was so well-received, or another 10 year old game?

I had Brave Fencer Musashi in mind when they narrowed it down to action RPG, but then rejected it completely when Daemon said yes to “it was aimed at teens and adults over kids.” This game is for all ages.

maGeS co op

What the heck is biomes? I keep seeing this word getting tossed around alot lately

I find these people acting like Bethesda and Microsoft together means no games. They upped the conference from 1 hour to an hour and a half. The can easily cut down on the amount of 3rd party stuff and long drawn out on stage interviews to make up a lot of time. It is all good. Quit the doom and gloom. Xbox is going to going to kill it at E3

I had Brave Fencer Musashi by 10😅 and it did have a sequel on PS2

Cat Scoop!

i love that game i hate myself

Does Just pay attention to Videogames any more at all? Doesn't know HZ:FW is PS4 and 5 or that Ninja Theory is owned by MS?! Where the hell has he been?

I'm so intrigued to go back to mass effect 1. It was always my favourite by far. I really disliked how they changed the gameplay in 2 and 3 at the time, but I can't ignore how much people criticise 1 today. So I'm excited to see what I think of it today.

Well thanks for the warnings about the audio in bio mutant will give it a PASS games like that make me never want to play them.

Just take the last gen textures from BOTW and put them in every open world game from now on. You'll be able to climb everything. SHEESH!! Do you not see the world detail in Horizon and you want to be able to climb everything?

I rather not have BOTW climbing in most open world games. I prefer Horizon going the other route by making the combat even better. I hope BOTW2 focuses on combat more cause its lacking in that area.
