When We Said 'Put Everything On Switch,' That's Not What We Meant - Game Scoop! 490

[@DJKento]

guys... WHEN are you going to get that ring out of Justin's mic?! WHEN?! It makes this unlistenable for me. It's so sharp and piercing.

[@McSweetalot]

really needs to be fixed. I'm curious as to why it seems to only be on Game Scoop. I never notice it on other podcasts. Must be something with his phone? Either way it must be something on his person. I don't see how else it could be a problem only on Game Scoop but not on the other podcasts. Maybe it is on other podcasts? Has anyone noticed it on others?

[@TenaciousDDP101]

McSweetalot They addressed it a while back. Justin has iron rich blood and their is nothing that can be done.

[@McSweetalot]

Is that a real thing? Because I'm inclined not to believe you... Can you point to the episode and when they said that? Or anywhere on the internet that says the iron in your blood can affect microphones? Sorry if it's true. It just sounds... well... fake. Or are you joking? Maybe they were joking? I feel like I watch every week and I don't remember them saying that. Not to mention I only recently noticed the ringing. And I feel like it was significantly worse this week.

[@WikTendoMania]

DJ Kento I thought I was imagining things . But that sound IS annoying

[@ometony]

Yeah the ringing is rough like scruff mcgruff

[@norbertdemeter6669]

Ryan was really cool, level-headed, polite, and with a great attitude. I really liked him on the show.

[@pricetag3397]

That buzzing sound made me freak out. I thought it was my smoke detector or something 😂

[@DarkMAGA666]

We miss you Marty :(

[@thefearmakerlive]

Don't agree, i think there are wonderful video game stories, on par, if not better than movies, tv, or books. Because YOU guys don't play games for narrative, doesn't mean others don't. I personally don't like games that just have great game play with no good narrative to push me along. As someone who has had an atari 2600 up until my PS4 and Xbox one, I've experienced every type of gameplay. I can only jump, punch, or throw things so much. So now I need a compelling narrative, on top of competent gameplay and systems, in order to enjoy a game. I think god of war succeeds at both, and so did petsona 5, horizon zero Dawn, nier automata, mass effect, and Dragon Age. While your eyes glazed over during dialog, i and others were riveted. And you can't say that the characters in the last of us aren't complex and wonderfully presented. So yes, there is great storytelling in gaming. And as someone who has seen blade runner 2049 and played through Detroit Become Human, there are certain moments that exceed the storytelling in Blade runner, though I think in it's entirety, blade runner 2049's story is better. So please don't think that something is less compelling to others because you don't pay attention when playing, or because it's not compelling to you.

[@frickthefuckoff]

Props to you for actually getting a good message out of Detroit.

[@HOLLISGAMESSKITS]

hey man is persona 5 worth getting for a guy that never played a prrsona game? Really thinking about getting it

[@thefearmakerlive]

TheChampcrisscross Heck yeah. Persona 5 was my first Persona, though I'm a turn based combat RPG fan (love final fantasy 10, Lost Odyssey, battle chasers: nightwar, etc). The first few hours, because you don't really have much control as it ushers you through the story, may bore you a bit and you'll wonder what all the fuss is about. But by the time you get through the 1st dungeon, and you have a gist of the combat system, plus you'll by then have a gist of how to handle choosing the daily activities that level you up and build bonds with your friends/teammates, you'll be in love with the game. Then it becomes addictive as you'll add new characters to your party, open up more of the city, romance some people, find new activities to level you up, and continue the story.

[@houseflan2505]

The Witcher 3 was a great story. I played it twice all the way through and will replay again in a couple of years.

[@antoniorsoftware]

I disagree when Sam says video games are not good at telling stories. For example the first two Max Payne games have better and more complex stories than 99% of all action movies ever made. John Carpenter's The Thing is one of my favorite movies ever, but Silent Hill 2 is something completely different I never seen in a horror movie. If you like movie Blade Runner then games like Beneath The Steel Sky and Gemini Rue will make you wonder what the heck are the movie writers are even doing anymore. Then there are games like Machinarium that is such a heart warming adventure, or Cave Story which looks like a cute little game, but beneath is a dark story, you wont see Disney doing it in their animation. Video games are full of great stories.

[@auberginedreams00]

Good luck on your next venture my fellow Ryan.

[@pacman10704]

Oh its been a while, we just straight up bringing beers onto set now? That's a chill enviornment

[@magicemperor2420]

Sam, I politely do not subscribe to your viewpoint. Some games have great storytelling, to me.

[@DashiSmash]

He wasn't saying that they do it poorly. He's saying that he chooses to play games for reasons other than its story telling, since movies and books do a better job of that.

[@jza199x]

He doesn't like God of war which has a great story so don't listen to the negativity

[@Calmacily]

i feel like a story matters more to me if i choose dialoge and walk around as the character, i feel more invested. i still like good game systems and gameplay better tho.

[@RichardHannay]

Ghost Trick has the best story-on par with a good anime show.

[@snurly8020]

Big Ryan was really great. Going to check out his podcast. Too bad he can't be on more often.

[@lackokelemen83]

CHAPPIE IS AMAZING!!!! NOT SAD ENDING PROMISE!! PLEASE WATCH IT. 😉👍

[@IonSquared]

Holy shit...Elysium. Now that is a movie I COMPLETELY forgot existed. What a strange deep cut for me.

[@timezones88]

100% agree... Way too many games showing up in the eShop these days. It’s gotten to the point where I only check the sale page because I don’t feel like digging through a billion different titles. Plus a lot of these games are being priced substantially higher than what they’re sold for in the Playstation/XBOX stores. Unfortunately we now have a watered down overpriced eShop. Swell.

[@NintendoSphere]

It's worth pointing out that the Switch has seen 87 game announcements since E3 2018. It should be no surprise that these games will eventually release and ofcourse start a bit of a flood on the eShop.

[@HoodedDude]

Too bad ryan only came on game scoop on his last week! Nice to see a fellow scoop fan on the podcast.

[@MisteMiner]

Chappie has a bitter sweet ending

[@raiden2254]

Chappie is sad but the ending is good

[@matthewsan78]

Oh man, Daemon, you HAVE to do a let's play of the Night Trap remaster! That would be funny.

[@aranikaeding6261]

Video Games don't always tell the best stories, but its also hard for a movie or TV show to replicate the experience that a game like Persona gives me or The Last of Us

[@bmxrideszach]

No more weeks off my weekly fix of Gamescoop is more important than your daily life thanks. I kid but definitely looking forward to an all 20 questions again I watched the last one I can’t even tell you how many times! So here’s to hoping you have time for that cheers 🥂

[@dreadplaysstill2158]

The switch talk has persuaded me to get one... tomorrow! Any advice in indie or big games I should get first?

[@darkdaysahead01]

My most played Switch games are: Zelda, Splatoon 2, Hollow Knight, Wizard of Legend (this game has some fps issues on Switch though), Mario + Rabbids, Enter the Gungeon, and I just picked up Octopath Traveler and love it. Oh, and Steamworld Dig 2 is awesome.

[@frickthefuckoff]

Shovel Knight and Shantae are good too if you don't own them.

[@Not_Liquid]

I feel like watching play-throughs of games like TLOU & Detroit ruins the impact of those games.

[@danielcrockett1248]

I've missed scoop so much! Glad you are finally back 😁😁😁

[@Keivz]

I finished Mario 1, 2, & 3! I tried World for the first time this year and got bored. Will get back to it eventually

[@Nicky_Biggz]

Justin's mic is putting off a high pitched whine everytime he laughs or talks into it. I know other people are saying it, but i figured if i post it again it's more easily discoverable.

[@davidstring8301]

It's not that there are too many games. It's that there's no ratings system and the interface is clunky

[@willfreeman9693]

Best show on IGN, I love watching every week But dude that whining mic was driving me insane

[@alejandrorequena7836]

You could argue that fake copies of games destroy the value of original games in the market and people who own a real copy of chrono trigger have now a game that is worth less than before. But that would be a minimal damage imo

[@Twinson1]

A lot of normative and descriptive ethics problems on gamescoop today. I was hearing utilitarianism, virtue ethics and consequentialism as they circled there ethical dilemmas of fake cartridge and long plays. Maybe this should be a feature article.

[@Goshiyo]

how did you learn all those big words

[@Daniel-fk8ou]

Please fix the ringing sound in future episodes please. Too much for me, I couldn't listen past the 7 min mark.

[@zwick6890]

Daemon the Master of the T-shirt wars wins yet again!!! I bow to your T-shirt greatness!!!

[@squiddly007]

For me the problem with fake SNES games is when people try to pass them off as genuine. For people that dont know they could be paying a lot of money for something they think is real. There are people on EBAY that sell as fakes and the carts are colored so you know.

[@squiddly007]

I mean an official release by the manufacturer. If you burn a film to a DVD then it is fake or are you just being pedantic just to argue with someone?

[@joshrogers6669]

Game Scoop on Saturday!? Better late than never I guess. 😁

[@Jstndasilva]

it has a happy ending

[@kennysmith1925]

Broforce is pretty good as robocop game

[@aaronjones6798]

I'm thinking un-authentic cartridges aren't much different from any other home made item, if someone can make a buck by making a homemade product let them. Perhaps when you're in the retirement home you'll be watching archived playthroughs of old games, in addition to those Halo LAN parties. Elysium wasn't a terrible film, it wasn't anything great but it's a decent film.

[@goonbeam]

been many moons since i've seen my BOYS cheers fellas

[@danielgagnon1344]

Please watch Chappie

[@kirbzillagk]

That mic noise is so annoying!

[@remymartin15]

I thought Justin played destiny by himself

[@stuartturner3517]

Kept us waiting huh?

[@realnovadamus]

Not a fan of the new schedule, but it is what it is. Scoop!

[@superbadisfunny]

Im with you Sam on the stories in games. The best stories are okay at best. I play for enjoyment but if im looking for a great story, ill watch a movie.

[@deeejaaay8518]

beer scoop

[@Kmaitland89]

Where is the new GameScoop, It's been forever. Seriously, they haven't even said why their wasn't one last week.

[@gamescoop]

Yes we did.

[@Kmaitland89]

Well I didn't see it! I have a Game Scoop consumption problem. Can't get enough!

[@sinceresarcasm4877]

“There is no reason to wear a hat.”

[@gloverhaywood]

...there is no reason to wear a hat! Hilarious!

[@neile3917]

I was starting to show symptoms of the shacking which is commonly associated with game scoop withdrawals...

[@marctut]

I agree with Sam that games are not as good at telling stories, but that is precisely why I watch them on KZbin any time I can’t focus on a tv show or movie as much as needed to follow a real story. I watch long plays of Zelda II often when I’m working or busy with family because I’ve played it hundreds of times and I don’t need to be engaged to know what’s going on (and the music is incredible). Other than times like these, the only time I watch games on KZbin is for guides or to see if it’s something I want to buy.

[@rtkiiiprod]

chappie isnt good

[@m.powers6657]

I needed my fix...

[@frombauer]

Late Scoop!

[@GoldeneyeDoubleO7]

Finally

[@McBobadila]

Late Scoop! Bad sound! Playing Octopath so IGN get a pass this week

[@juicyluce9]

Best of luck for the future Ryan!
