Did the Mortal Kombat 11 Reveal Satisfy Your Bloodlust? - Game Scoop! 513

[@billy-briggs-dev]

CJ is such a good guest, always funny and can talk about any topic. Love that guy

[@d818581dd]

And he's hot

[@Neditch2024]

He’s been a great addition to the rotating cast!

[@lukes9684]

In my opinion, this is the best Scoop panel.

[@Garoth4582]

It's certainly up there. I wasn't sure about CJ at first but I feel he has found his groove with the Scoop Crew.

[@noog0909]

Absolutely. We're in a golden age of Game Scoop (though, honestly, Game Scoop has been consistently excellent for over ten years)

[@TenaciousDDP101]

No love for homeboy with the bow tie?

[@lukes9684]

@@TenaciousDDP101 Who?

[@Garoth4582]

No love for bow tie guy. I agree though that gamescoop has always been solid. I've been watching about 8 years now.

[@alee-cooper3419]

CJ is turning into one of my favourite guests on the panel

[@irvyne6111]

The reason Daemon isn't into Disney is probably because when we were all falling in love with animated classics as children, he was watching horror films. ;-)

[@SebastianM08]

My game was picked yayyyyy! And I was able to trick them. Life goal achievement

[@OoWINDEXoO]

Yes! The best cast is back!! These 4 guys are so chill!

[@Settledown77]

Oh my god! The skeleton joke had me laughing as long and hard as CJ & Sam! What’s up with the others?! It was hilarious! 😂

[@Science_afterhours]

I had never really been aware of CJ until the Ninja Gaiden playthrough last year, and since then he has quickly become one of my favourite IGN employees. I hope they bring that show back, and that CJ continues to be a regular member of the Game Scoop panel. And of course, good job as always on the show!

[@EdwinHernandez-nm4uq]

Scoop there it is!

[@jakenash7420]

I gotta say I love this particular scoop lineup, it's awesome to see CJ on more shows. Nicely job gents

[@RainshadowAirsoft]

@1:00:25 Dude! Wtf Deamon?! Breaking your own rules! If you cant answer yes or no, it does NOT burn a Q!

[@thegavgamez]

I love your passion for this innocent game of 20 questions

[@trico8]

daemon's sweater is dope af, anybody know where to get it?

[@irina1296]

I will definitely buy MK11 because I adore this series. MK11 looks a bit similar to Injustice, Killer Instinct and SoulCalibur now but is that bad? I don't think so. I just hope some features and fighters will return - Hara-Kiris, Friendships, Konquest mode, Motor kombats, Tag Teams, Stryker, Ashrah, Nitara, Sareena, Reiko, Fujin, Nightwolf, Taven, Havik, Kai, Frost, Delia

[@sinceresarcasm4877]

I am all in on Mortal Kombat 11. Looks incredible.

[@shamimnarayan4877]

[@askxperia]

I have a playlist of every Gamescoop episode since 300.

[@Chaser722]

What’s good Scoop crew? Really liking Daemons hoodie!

[@zmj1799]

I don't know if anyone said this but for the AC Odyssey Season Pass it was ti make up for there being no game this year and for $40 it gives you 2 different expansions with 3 episodes each with about 3+ hours of content each but it also gives you AC 3 + AC Liberation Remasters for free when they release, so arguably its a great value.

[@inceptional]

The thing with "graphics" is that I've always thought of it as being a word that is inclusive of both the technical aspects of how a game looks and runs alongside it's actual aesthetics art style and presentation. And, if you look a most game reviews from back in the day, when we started rating various aspects of games for review scores, graphics was used in the way I'm describing: It was usually Presentation, Graphics, Playability, Sound, Replayability and Overall. So I personally think graphics is the right word to use when talking about a games graphics, since it's not just art or technical, but it seems most people these days are slightly confused with what it means.

[@MrChrister6]

I read Daemon's Resident Evil 2 review on the site. This guy is such a treasure. His writing is just as much a rollicking good time as his video content. Also, fantastic panel! I almost started cracking up at my desk when CJ lost it.

[@RySpirit]

These are my 4 fav cast of Game Scoop

[@johnsantisteban7362]

I love ending my weekend with some Game Scoop. Great job guys 👍👍👍👍

[@ChaosKnight7000]

Love the show as always! Small note for Sam: The term you are looking for when asking whether the game was released on a "laser-read disc-based medium" is an optical disc or a game released on optical media.

[@samuelclaiborn6365]

Andrew Shevchuk Optical Laser Circle. Got it!

[@NecromancerAdr]

53:05 you won't need to wait a lot.

[@mason.....]

man, sam was cracking me up this episode

[@aaronjones6798]

The game where you read the ESRB ratings in reverse, a possibly title could be: "Ratings in Reverse".

[@Twinson1]

It sounds like these missing game discussion can be addressed by having a rotating guest. Which they do but we only get so many shows in a week.

[@inceptional]

I actually miss and indeed prefer the old couch setup. It used to feel like I was chillin' with you guys sitting in a living room somewhere and we were all just chatting away about video games. Now, even as good as it is, it feels like I'm watching a show with some presenters talking about video games. It's still great, and my fav show like this online just now, but it's not it's lost a little bit of the magic the original format had imo. Not quite the same; not quite as good.

[@theunitedstatesofspace]

If you would like old podcast episodes of Game Scoop, going back all the way to the beginning in 2006, you can go to the following Wayback Machine capture of the Game Scoop Archives IGN Blog (RIP). web.archive.org/web/20151009194253/www.ign.com/blogs/gamescooparchives Just take off the web archive parts before "retromovies.ign.com..." on the MP3 links to get direct links to the MP3s. I did all the hard work back then so you don't have to! Enjoy! (Hopefully I can figure out a way to get this to a "real" webpage someday...)

[@grege7668]

That Nintendo hoodie is legit.

[@oddishu]

Where did Daemon get his hoodie??

[@shane-boy]

I love everyone on the panel but CJ is the shit! Love you man!

[@AcornElectron]

Sam, the term that will encompass all the ‘games read by a laser’ would probably be optical media.

[@StripofPaper]

"Guess That GaMMMMe" (where you make an mmmmm sound)

[@UnratedPanda]

Graphics definitely feed into the immersion in the same way a well written and directed story do. I do appreciate the level of detail that can be exhibited nowadays. I remember when I couldn’t tell wtf was on the screen lol 😂 Frames just have to be solid, stable for me so it doesn’t break immersion for I prefer a lot of the narrative driven titles.

[@gemsu9952]

"Name that GORE" ( Tipper Gore)

[@jordan8909]

The last dlc that was truly worth buying and really added to the lore, story, and original content was the witcher 3 dlc. What a fantastic ending to the story. It almost could have been a sequel.

[@noahmccay6048]

CID from ff7 is in kingdom hearts. No Air Ships as of yet though.

[@cheappyv5156]

Need to revert back to the previous style of covers, Daemon

[@caseybillings9685]

Cid from FFVII is in Kingdom Hearts.

Love u guys. Don't change the panel. all guys need to add is Rich of review tech USA and it would be the the perfect recent to retro podcast for grown people. It would solidfy it and put a stamp on u guys for the next decade. Much love

[@Bobo_Tapia]

Justin, thank you for mentioning the ridiculous price-to-content ratio of DLC. It’s always baffled me, so I only ever get DLC as part of definitive editions or game + season pass when they’re on sale. Just Cause 3 with all DLC for $9?! Hell yea! Witcher 3 Complete for $20?! Damn right!

[@nintendad8168]

I remember when older people I knew in the late 80s saying rap is just a fad like disco lol

[@InfiniteDarkMass]

I miss Moriarty and Gallegas. And the couch. The couch provided unique gameplay options.

[@gurthang667]

Daemon needs to play GORN for the best fake violence. Seems like it would be a Daemy gamey

[@nintendad8168]

I knew Spider-Man was gonna look great but that game was even better then I expected especially coming off god of war . Both games were fantastic.

[@remymartin15]

I wait for season passes to go on sale so by the time I get to it I’m lost on the story.

[@superspecky4eyes]

That game should be called "To ESRB or not ESRB, that is the question"

[@Marcus_K]

Golden Axe and Flashback remain very playable today, as I think Daemon would agree. Flashback is basically Prince of Persia with guns and Golden Axe never relied on just graphical appeal, like Altered Beast for example did. Sam is always trying to talk down Genesis classics because he's such a Nintendo fanboy, unfortunately. I wish he'd let go of the 16-bit war already.

[@monkeyspice2010]

what was daemon's joke I couldn't hear it because of sam.....

[@thewitness2226]

gamescoop.ign.libsynpro.com/ It's audio only, no videos, and you can also download the audio file to your phone.

[@mickael486]

The free Galaga game was after 250 rounds I thought. at that point, the arcade owner should just be happy that the quarter box is pretty full. Besides, the free game was made really hard. Didn't last more than a minute or two.

[@gorejira1]

I think the violence in MK now is supposed to be aimed at both kids new to it and adults who have grown up playing them.

[@DougyFreshGames]

Everything looks great but they need to add friendships again 🔥

[@pcharl01]

The one that lost me from the series was the one for N64.

[@charisma913]

Daemon listens to Death metal? Awesome!

There definitely are polygons in that game Great scoop!

[@nintendad8168]

Darkest Dungeon 👍 thank you Daemon it’s even better then I expected . It’s such a great game and the art style is A+ !

[@draelmun6056]

Vermintide isn't smooth, the second one feels great!

[@benjaminb2289]

I never miss a episode

[@iFish12]

JUSTIN. I relate so hard to your 3rd (4th?) question. it's ok

[@inceptional]

I actually think the modern Mortal Kombat games do a better job of realising the overall aesthetic of the classic games they're based on than the modern Street Fighter games do. Mortal Kombat always looked very "American"to me (cheesy Hollywood and live-action machismo), and it still does. Street Fighter used to look very Japanese (very anime/Manga), which I absolutely loved, but now it too actually looks more "American" in its art style. The art in the new Street Fighter games is more like the box art of the old Street Fighter games than the actual art style. I genuinely think Nintendo did a better and more authentic job of nailing the Street Fighter aesthetic with it's couple of inclusions in Smash Bros. than Capcom's artists have managed with the new games, which is a bit crazy.

Hey why is there no scoop for this week? Just cuz Damien made a mistake people make mistakes. His review overall was spot on. Don’t get rid of him please.

[@gamescoop]

Don't worry, the new episode just went live.

[@TyranBatten]

What were you referring to when you wrote this?

[@Danno_omen]

I’m like daemon I’d rather just enjoy the game that was released and then move on. I’d rather the devs be working on a new game than dlc. I use far cry new dawn as an example I’m glad that instead of it being a 5 hour dlc for far cry 5 they just developed it into a completely new game. Same with wolfenstein young blood and other examples

[@maartenpitt]

Is Mortal Kombat 11 the first M-rated game to come to Nintendo Switch?

[@juliansalazar7097]

maartenpitt Is that a serious question? No.

[@dementedavenger2784]

...no?

[@Slim-Boss]

Yes.... Yes it is

[@maartenpitt]

@@juliansalazar7097 Serious question: proof?

[@juliansalazar7097]

maartenpitt Use google. And proof? Doom and Wolfenstein 2. I didn’t even need to think for more than 5 seconds to come up with 2 games that are M rated.

for me personally they are messing up mortal kombat how can you take run out of mortal kombat that is what separate the game from other fighting game i dont play injustice 2 because i dont like it because the game is too slow this mortal kombat feel just like injustice 2

[@sinceresarcasm4877]

I’m sorry.

[@thomashewitt8104]

Captain ReddBeard That used to be the case with me as well, until MKX - it felt like the series really matured in terms of being a true competitive fighting game with refined mechanics and a steep learning curve. MKX and R6 Seige have taken up a lot of my time in the last few years, as games that really take a ton of practice to master (I am not even close to mastering either haha)

U really need to redefine what ur belief of “cartoon violence” is. Just because no human can pull it off, doesn’t make it any better.
