[@TeamTigerBloods]

The violence in video games discussion always drives me crazy. People seem to think that kids can’t distinguish a difference between fantasy violence and real violence, whether it’s in games, movies, music or any other form of art. Guess what, they can. There is far more traumatic violence in nature than what you see in games. Clearly no one on this show is a hunter or spends much time with nature. Teach your kids right from wrong ; a video game isn’t going to over rule the values you’ve taught them.

[@Psycoholic2008]

You can teach your kid all you want, it doesn't stop them from making bad choices when they grow up. You'd be surprised the type of people that become thieves, drug addicts, or violent criminals. It isn't as black and white as simple "teach them right from wrong".

[@TeamTigerBloods]

Psycoholic2008 of course it’s not simple. That’s why putting the onus of moral upbringing on video games is preposterous. Making a bad decision isn’t the same as knowing right from wrong. I’m suggesting that people, including kids, know the difference between shooting a gun in a video game and shooting a gun in real life; and that they have vastly different consequences.

[@kdkseven]

That's why you get to teach your kids what you want, and other people get to teach their kids what they want.

[@ADukesJustice]

I honestly feel sad for those kids that can't play M rated games till they're 18. I couldn't imagine my childhood without games like GTA3 or Mortal Kombat

[@BrokenSocialScene23]

Yeah I don't think there's anything wrong if kids watch or play M or R rated content but I think parents should at least know their kids ability to consume this content. I mean when I was 9 years old, my favourite movies were Predator and Ninja Scroll :/

[@kevinmurphy3653]

Compare ps1 mortal combat to current gen mortal combat... you see what im getting at?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO SCOOP CREW and ALL OF IGN! PEACE and GAMES

[@jmobtrs]

The Daemie Awards are the best!

[@Horrorgins]

I think Sam is pinning God of War more to what it used to be rather than what the new game is. The new one is way more of a Zelda/Metroid like game than a combat/character action game.

[@johnnyreid7931]

Merry Christmas gents, thank you for a fantastic year of Scoops.

I loved the Daemey awards. However, I thought they were too short! Expand to general pop culture. Music, TV show, Binge watch, game genres. Make it an entire show. Would watch.

[@kdkseven]

Yeah i'd watch that.

[@SturmbladeZ97]

Great episode to end year with! Thanks Omega Cops for the best gaming podcast in 2018!

[@Psychof1st]

Wait! Where's the several five minute world premiers between each award?!

[@gamescoop]

Dang it, knew I was forgetting something.

[@filthycasual0975]

So I love the side quests for God of war because they featured a lot of lore and didn't feel very video gamey (if that makes sense), it felt like it made sense in the environment, I haven't played red dead but from what I've seen it also makes a lot of sense too where the side quests could actually happen in an environment like that and it doesn't seem video gamey, I love spider man but the side quests made it very apparent that I was playing a video game, for example the swinging through the gas clouds or the trying to track down pigeons made it feel like they input video game aspects heavily where as other things like randomly hearing about a crime happening in the area felt like a legit spiderman world and you got to save the day.

[@mangoesinspace72]

Hey sorry to ask but i listen in every week and what was the song that played at the end if you know please reply The song only played in the podcast

Sonic R is kinda of cart racer, the playable characters from all the games run, but other characters like Amy had a vehicle.

[@sthxdnn1]

I’m with Daemon. When I was 3 I was already introduced to Mortal Kombat; but outside of fighting games the first time I played a game that I shouldn’t have been was GTA San Andreas when I was 11 and Halo at 12. Then I didn’t play video games at all in high school. I had a bit of a temper, but I wasn’t even playing video games around that time and it was easily identifiable to family history. Sadly I’d have to say that I don’t think a pre-teen could appreciate something like God of War though for anything than just being cool.

[@cjgibsononline]

Agree with your last line for sure. Part of me wants him to play it just because of the awareness of the game right now. He’s definitely what I would call an “old soul” so I’m good with him playing it. It’s kind of like the Simpson Season 1-8 in the 90’s. They were culturally relevant when I was really young. I’m glad my parents let me watch it at the time. It was seen as a very risqué show 30 years ago. As a parent the jokes land in totally new light vs when I was young... but it’s cool to have both perspectives.

[@Mathijsss247]

Daemon just summed up my lasting feelings with rdr2. Playing odyssey now and having a lot more fun playing it.

[@RobVasseur]

Just play it with him, i have a 9 year old son, that would be a really great experience to share.

[@NavAK_86]

I'm probably one of the few people on earth who bought/and still owns his Atari Jaguar, 64. Although, the marketing was erroneous - it was a 32 bit system as a processor, with 64 bit memory. Still some pretty decent games on there. Rayman, Tempest 2000, Dino Dudes, Ultra Vortex, Alien vs Predator, Cybermorph, Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy. The library was extremely short, though.

[@TheJoshuaborden]

We have a very similar tradition in the Canadian forces with coins being given for notable accomplishments. CO (Commanding Officer) coins and many other varieties. Very interesting you Americans do the same thing. Nice. Love the show. Keep it up.

[@soxbruins1361]

Gremlins is my favorite Christmas movie. But, to be fair, I've never seen "Koopa Klaus."

[@thebiggreen4060]

That Iron Tank music... so metal.

[@joshrogers6669]

I really loved both RDR2 and ACO, but I cant say I like one over the other. ACO is a "comfort food" type of game to me. I wasn't interested in the narrative whatsoever but the gameplay was certainly strong enough to keep me invested. RDR2 on the other hand is kind of the opposite for me. I wasn't super happy with the mechanics of the game but the narrative itself was enough in itself to keep me interested. I look at it like this. There are movies that I have seen that I absolutely loved but would NEVER watch again. That's how I felt with that Lone Survivor movie. I really liked it but I have no intention of watching that again. RDR2 is like that with me. I have tons of respect for how that game was able to take me through this wide arc of emotions. It quite effectively destroyed me lol. More so than even RDR1 did. ACO is my comfort game. It is purely an entertaining experience.

Albert Odyssey is not a Zelda clone. It has the best music I’ve ever heard in a game. And it’s the funniest game I’ve ever played.

[@jonkuch8726]

I had the opposite feeling. I went back to A.C. Odyssey after and it looked and felt bad. The horse is so weird now

[@Twinson1]

I like hearing everybody game of the years is. It reflects the various types of gamers better than an overall best game of the year. Subnatica and Yoku's island express would be my games of the year.

[@Awesome_Force]

When I was in elementary I was watching Friday the 13th and playing Mortal Kombat too. :)

[@markbolyard1849]

I just bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna expansion and plan on playing it heavily for the next 2 weeks (two 4 day weekends for me thankfully, a major rarity unfortunately). The base game was one of my favorite games last year. I also bought Destiny 2 Forsaken and base game for $30 and will play through the expansion there off an on too (I love the actual gunplay of Destiny, just feels fantastic as I love hand cannons especially). Not sure other than those two as beat all of the major games out atm, that I really wanted to play anyways.

[@RevenantRonin]

The fact that red dead redemption 2 didn't grow on daemon is a bit strange considering by the end almost everyone appreciated it even more from what I've seen and read. I personally loved the game and think its one of the best of all time. I understand the argument of the gameplay feeling tedious at times but its not a very "gamey" game and that's what i love about it. However, AC Odyssey is about as gamey as it gets so ill agree to disagree with daemon.

I got bored with GOW once it got into the "open world". Rowing a boat around was exceedingly tedious after the crazy high energy intro. I felt like the momentum in that game dropped off.

ppl make the issues of violence/sexuality/anything else controversial in video games too complicated. Bottom line is that it does affect the way a child perceives it and does matter how your child is introduced to it. With that said, what matters the most is how the parent handles it. Ppl who say it doesn’t affect the child at all are idiots and the ppl who over exaggerate its impact on children are lazy parents.
