Game Scoop! 793: Game of the Decade Watch Begins!

[@fallensniper777]

Does Game Scoop even need a 4th guest? This trio carries it very well

[@Onyyyxx]

Mark and Nick are always great on the show also

[@JMGauthier]

Need? No. But it's always fun.

[@PeterDB90]

I like when they invite guests, but it's also not something that needs to happen every episode or even often - I'm happy to watch just them 3, but at least occasional 4th would be nice :)

[@D2AMON]

@@Onyyyxx Nick yes, Mark....not so much.

[@ctorres3690]

"A Vegan run through and play without cheese" lmao what a great joke for Elden Ring

[@mistrdevine]

Oh man I’ve made a similar comment before, but Daemon’s sound effects for introducing Game of the Year Watch(or in this case Decade) makes me way happier than it ought to.

[@realrobrose]

Ragnarok is my game of the forever

[@jonathanirwin9566]

Glad you're safe Daemon! Hope it stays that way!

[@jonathanlopez9066]

Genuinely shocked that The Last Of Us Part 2 wasn't mentioned for possible game of the decade, it came out in 2020 and IGN gave it a 10.

[@JSanch]

I’ve been waiting all year for this!

[@CCoreXB]

Seriously? Why?

[@JSanch]

@@CCoreXB… it’s a bad New Years dad joke 😂

[@ReapsVsTheWorld1]

We love companies that let yall work from home. Great job! Great video.

[@Onyyyxx]

Facts

[@newstandard2445]

Looking forward to part 1 of 4 Game of the Century Watch end of this year!

[@jasonwindsor9315]

Xbox also made SSX 3 backwards compatible. You can total play it to this day on Series X.

[@FrawgfithAmblose]

AstroBot is a definite game of the decade :D no other game you play with a smile the whole way through .

[@PeterDB90]

Thanks for uploading in a difficult time - glad you guys are safe and hoping IGN staff and the building get through this as painlessly and without injury or damages as possible. Normally when forest fires are in California we get all the smoke in Nevada where I'm at, (thankfully not this time... yet) so I can confirm what Sam said - breathing in smoky air is harder and bad for your health, but the smell is what they don't always mention - it's dizzying and unpleasant, like a mix of burnt wood and chemicals. I can only imagine how much more concentrated it is near you guys now.

[@marcgaskett]

Very surprised that you didn’t mention TLOU2, came out in 2020 and is incredible, definitely worthy of a mention

[@loutronz4708]

I'd put Returnal towards the top of this list.

[@iNomNomAwesome]

Returnal became one of my all time favorites, I've beat it 18 times 😅

[@josephreedy3871]

Wild. Ragnarok is easily my game of this console generation, if not decade. No trying to yuk anyone else's yum, but that game is incredibly special.

[@silentstreets]

Ragnarok is absolutely worthy of a game of the decade, incredible story and world building, amazing characters and performance work, leaves an impact

[@saintsalieri]

Hearing the SSX discussion reminded me how underrated Riders Republic is. Amazing game

[@nvc.]

Happy New Year Scooper brothers!

[@CCoreXB]

Tears of the Kingdom?! Maybe BotW, but definitely not its sequel.

[@johnbussiere]

The Lenovo Legion Go has a controller that can come off and becoming a mouse for FPS games, so it's not a new invention by nintendo, I'll be curious if they have a patent on it

[@GoldenArmsPR]

I'm scoopin Soo hard right now.

[@ShinobiKingYT]

Definitely TOTK for Nintendo, GOW Ragnorok for ps5

[@zero_ehxe]

11:15 “Speaking of squirrels- Tunic also came out that year!” … does Sam mean the fox?

[@Mighty_Terp]

Easy choice here ... HADES is the Game of the Decade! Defining the rogue-lite genre, superb voice acting and engaging story, plus super varied and skillful gameplay. Best game ever!

[@Thewizzard15]

Sam is right. Ragnarok is better than FF7 Rebirth. Very easy decision there.

[@Kmaitland89]

Oh totally and it's not even close.

[@dementedavenger2784]

Arguably. What isn't Arguable is that Ragnarok dropped out of the conversation super fast.

[@Monolith64]

Can we wait a few years before talking about the end of the decade? 😩

[@RichardLamaletie]

astro bot(yeah)when I've finished with BioWare(dragon)

[@gariantroll2975]

First all be safe my West coast fam. Second Cyber Punk 2077 is game of the decade so far.

[@Maz0ren]

woohoo welcome back!

[@gariantroll2975]

You need a PC to play HL:A but it is super easy to connect to your Quest. I think ign needs a VR journalist that actually likes VR. VR just isn’t for everybody, so I would rather hear from an enthusiast than from people that suffer from motion sickness.

[@tonygibson2924]

GOOSE CAMP!!!!!

[@iNomNomAwesome]

The revisionist history is crazy. Ragnarok has an average score of 94, higher rated and sold better than Rebirth. And The Last of Us Part 2 has a 93, ten points higher than Ghost of Tsushima, and they both sold about the same number of copies.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

IMO - Game of the decade is a tie with Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild

[@warmonger005]

Alan Wake 2 must be part of that list

[@paulnell]

Scooooooooop!!!!!!!!

[@Pachi27]

Replace Tears of the Kingdom with BoTW. ToK wouldn’t event exist had BoTW not made as big of an impression as it had…

[@SlowToe]

Scoop!!

[@d_lightnin8108]

BG3.

[@bozlakian3329]

Scoop !

[@Kmaitland89]

the Switch 2 WILL not do 4k. A low cost, low power handheld cannot do 4k. PC handhelds which have MUCH more power and cost MUCH more cannot even do this yet. People need to massively recalibrate their expectations for what the Switch 2 can do. Technology isn't even close to being able to do that kind of computing with a 20 watt chip. People don't understand how little power the chip needs to consume in order to have ANY battery life and what kind of constraints that puts on the chip.

[@JohnWilfredSaunders]

What about when it’s docked?

[@johnbussiere]

the theory is that it will use AI upscaling to do 4K

[@Kulj_No1]

SCOOP!

[@Thewizzard15]

Vampire survivors and balatro will not be remembered in 5 years

[@Thewizzard15]

Probably same with Astro bot 🤐

[@FrawgfithAmblose]

AstroBot is amazing and definitely will be remembered and have amazing sequels from here on .

[@reyvgm]

Maybe you already know this, but Genki was able to show off "Switch 2" accessories at CES because the Switch 2 blueprints CAD files leaked some months ago and with those blueprints, they're able to know the exact Switch 2 dimensions (that's where all the 3D printed mockups have come from). Since Genki is not licensed by Nintendo, they obtained these CAD files the same way other accessory makers have done (like DBRAND) and created their own accessories and mockups in an effort to attract attention to their product. Genki (or DBRAND or one of them) said you could buy a Switch 2 (or maybe they meant the CAD files) on the black market if you knew where to look.

[@kukri52231]

Elden Ring wins no contest.

[@FrawgfithAmblose]

Not a chance .

[@zero_ehxe]

Weather SCOOP!

[@marioq8395]

The current decade started in January 2021 so anything from 2020 wouldn't count. Those are the rules.

[@mark5391]

The 1 producer for the 1 gaming podcast. What the prob'm is?

[@ehcortsolrac4698]

should be zelda totk

[@hododod246]

Objectively Last of Us Part 2, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition, The legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and Metaphor Refantasio should be considered in a game of the decade list. Nothing else.

[@maestro92]

That's a solid list.

[@mattrobinson891]

TLOU Part 2 is hot garbage

[@rjam7181]

Bg3 bro

[@Kmaitland89]

I am so happy for people that love Metaphor however, I find it such an old school design that I just can't get into. The dungeons are bland repeats that I find extremely boring. The story content, look of the game and combat are all S tier though.

[@Echo__plex]

​@@mattrobinson891 It's an incredibly impressive video game.
