37:15 I know a guy who has no Switch but LOVES his Wii U and still plays and buys games for it. He has it hooked up to a big ass projector in his party basement and good lord the 4 player Mario Kart that was played was glorious. You don't need the newest consoles. Just play whatever's fun!
if you get the switch mario kart you get a full battle mode, new characters, DLC tracks included, some tweaks, and If you spend 25$ or have Nintendo switch online expansion pass, you get 48 more courses, and more characters
@@glitchyaceofficialbut like, the switch is expensive and fragile (and heavy) and you can't play wii games on it, and if the guy mentioned is anything like me the only real benefit to buying deluxe would be the tweaks to gameplay I bought my wii u second hand and whoever had owned it previously had bought the dlc, so i got it for free anyways. I exclusively play as one character, I think battle mode is lame, and I don't care about playing online--and if I did it would be cheaper and easier to try to set up pretendo than it would be to try to manage a subscription service Also I'm pretty sure the twenty five tracks you mentioned aren't new; they're ported from the mobile game. I remember hearing somebody complain about their poor quality compared to the rest of the tracks. (Edit: I've been told that the information in this last paragraph is false. However, I still don't feel like spending upwards of 400 dollars on a game and console I bought for 150) yeah, i think I'll stick with my commercial failure of a console, thanks
@@glitchyaceofficialno shit, this dude just explained his friends scenario in which he still had a fun time instead of paying $300 for a switch, $60 for the game, another $25 for expansion. He’s having fun with what he’s got
@@hello-xm5il There are about 8 brand-new tracks in the booster course expansion pack. There are also about 8 tracks ported from Tour. The rest of them are ports from other previous games, to varying levels of quality. I like them, but YMMV. They aren't all from Tour though, not sure what's given you that impression; I don't think Tour even had 40 tracks to begin with.
Recently got back on my feet after becoming homeless in 2020. This video came at such a good time I just got my apartment and been missing games dearly. I'll check this out.
4:30 Scott fun fact, the Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 demo has a glitch during the Switch controller set up screen that lets you back out and select the other locked game modes. theyre all fully playable in the demo.
The Yakuza series 100% belongs in this kinda conversation. ~40 hour crime dramas loaded with fun side missions and minigames, including both original minigames and Sega classics (primarily their arcade offerings, some of which are only officially playable at home in Yakuza games!), sometimes including different playable characters to shake things up, with the bulk of the series going super cheap during sales.
It’s so funny that “Bootleg Gaming Christmas” canonically takes place in March, and this episode, which basically continues from that story, is also in March because it took so long to come out
The only reason Tloedo has so many game stores is definately because Scott's single handedly keeping them afloat himself. I wouldn't be surprised if the employees see him as some sort of superhero over there.
I don't know now after the emulator talk which I think retro store owners may hate. Though I agree with Scott about how emulators make gaming accessible
"Manager, there's this guy who bought last year's Madden three times. Today. Again. ...Smiling." "And I didn't see you polish his shoes. You're on thin ice, new guy."
For people that really are on a budget, only have a pc and don't mind older games, here is a better list that will give you an insane amount of time and fun for your money. Half Life 1 and 2 (as well as Sven Co-op which is completely free.) - Like a million of custom maps, campaigns, puzzle maps, horror maps, shitpost maps and so much more Doom 1 and 2 - A lifetime of custom maps, campaigns and weapons that you can run on any shitbox Amnesia Dark Descend - The horror game to have, with its peak popularity in the 10s it has a very big supply of custom campaigns that are sometimes even better than the original Garry's Mod - Definitely more multiplayer oriented (online is free on pc so you are fine), it has a giant community that offers absolutely everything, sandbox servers where you can screw around with hl physics, fun gamemodes like prop hunt and trouble in terrorist town, as well as a thousand RP servers and other gamemodes. If you and your friends can only get a single game to play for the rest of your lives, this is definitely it. Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, Call of Pripyat and Clear Sky - Great atmospheric apocalyptic survival games that have again an insane modding scene, people make full on new games from these mods giving you wild slav hardcore survival sims Nethack, Angband, ToME and so many more (almost all of them are free as they are technically still mods of rogue) - oldschool roguelikes that have so many details put into them, that you can truly achieve almost any interaction that comes to mind when exploring the dungeons. Dwarf Fortress - I dont even know what to say, this is a simulation in which you command dwars to build expand and survive, the game is so indepth that it can pretty much generate an entire movie plot for you if you just leave it go by itself. Minecraft and Terraria - the kings of sandbox building games, terraria is definitely more boss oriented while minecraft is exploration and building. again these are games with giant modding communities that can completely change the games into something new. probably the most infinitely repayable. There are countless more examples that I just can't think of but if you really have no money, getting an older pc that can run games till 2016-18 you can still run almost all of these examples flawlessly and you will definitely have a great time. Love you Scott, but I love your fear of PC even more.
Just a note on FFXIV - when you hit level 70 the game doesn't cut you off or anything, you can keep playing but you just can't access the main story from level 70 onwards. You could even go level all the other playable jobs on your character up to lvl 70, hunt for relic weapons, finish all the raids, get into crafting and gathering materials or fishing etc etc before paying for the game, that's hundreds of hours of content! It's a pretty solid free trial.
Yeah, I've known people who played the game for over a year before they felt the need to pay. It's basically just the base game plus the first two expansions for completely free, you even get the new jobs added with those expansions like Dark Knight and Samurai. It's like 75% of the content in the game. And there's usually still players doing the older raids and dungeons from those earlier expansions.
@@Everdistance Now that it has blue mage because of stormblood, you could even join a static and do some raids because the blu scene is so active still.

Some of the personal info Scott shared in this video was tragic. My heart goes out to him. I’ve been where he’s at in life and I know it’s terrible, but things can improve. And that’s not just him, everyone with that issue needs to remember one thing: You can get out of Toledo too. Happy April Fool’s day.
A lot of your videos are informative but many come off as more like trivia, like "that's a cool fact" and stuff like that (while also being hilarious of course). This one really feels like a genuine guide and its really cool. Really fun to watch as always and would recommend this as an informational video to someone who felt like they couldn't get into gaming for monetary reasons
He tried to sell Wii Plays separately, stole a copy of Madden 18, try to sell bootlegs, someone stole his knife and put Rex in critical condition, played emulated games…
in the early 2000s, i used to be able to play PC titles borrowed from my library. stuff like myst, grim fandango, age of empires, icewind dale, ceasar, the total war series. etc. i think they also had ps1 games available. it was a huge lifesaver for me, as i was only able to buy only a few tjtles (on sale, too) for my PS2, but i still wanted to play as much games i could get my hands on! i played the hell out of my demo discs when i got a subscription for playstation magazine for a year or so as well. when i later got a nintendo ds lite, i got a flash cart as soon as i could, and i played so, so many games that way (thanks to romsites). i enjoyed my DS so much that i broke the hinge twice just from regular usage. this video is truly a great guide to people who don't really follow the games industry on a constant basis but still want to play games or want to catch up on old titles.
Buying used games in Japan is so freaking cheap and a lot of fun. After spend 6 month in Japan I bought over 80 games across Playstation consoles and it was only like $300cad. So fun
PAUSE 35:00 Scott, thank you so much for advocating libraries in this video. I'm lucky enough to live near a county library. That has very good funding. And they've got like selections of all sorts of consoles. It's actually astounding. But like to everyone watching this video. Please go to your local library and get a card. If they don't have video games, they might have comic books and if they don't have comic books, they just have books which are also fun. Everyone watching this video. Please go get your library card because you deserve it and libraries are f****** awesome.
I just made a huge comment on this same subject. I LOVE my local libary and it gives me the opportunity to rent SO many games I'd never have the money to buy
Yes. I found out that my local branch doesn't have video games... But the branch next town over does! And because we're part of the same system I can reserve games and have them sent to my library. Now as long as nobody dumps the game files via the MIG switch dumper everything is awesome.
YES!!! I didn’t grow up rich, but I played so many good games on my consoles growing up because my parents always took me to the library. I still play some WiiU and 3DS games I get from there to this day! :)
Important note on the PS3: there are a *lot* of games that are permanently trapped there. The only way to play them otherwise is through that Playstation streaming service.
Didn't even make some backwards compatible like Microsoft did with some Xbox 360 & og Xbox games. Can't wait to see the crazy prices if Sony ever does shut down the PS3 digital store.
Even tho Scott is in this weird universe where he doesn't have a TH-cam channel and just talks to himself, he's still reached the point every TH-camr reaches where he shits all over his old videos.
Aight so since the last episode, lost my job, got a new one, lost my relationship, didn’t get a new one, and I’ve discovered what depression TRULY feels like. Good to see ya again, Scott.
This is the sequel to the "Scott's Game Collection" video, where he states multiple times that owning so many games starts to take the fun out of collecting, and that he honestly wouldn't mind getting rid of it all (baring some childhood favorite) and starting all over.
@@Gloomdrake Thank you. I know he said the whole jail thing at the start, but I couldn't help thinking back to the episode about collecting and thinking "Wow, he actually went through with it".
Skate 3 was fun when it came out, then it became the #1 game to play when your xbox live subscription ran out, and now its still the best lay back and chill game to play when you really gotta just pass time. Seriously a timeless game
Just want to inform people that almost any subscription service will let you cancel immediately after subscribing and still let that month continue, it will just cancel at the end of it. This works for free trials also. You never have to remember to unsubscribe if you do it literally directly after subscribing in the same sitting.
If you're a PC gamer, another good thing to consider is stuff like Steam's Spring, Summer, and Winter sales, G2A, Humble bundles, Green Man Gaming, and GOG. All these places do games at reduced prices a lot or in big bundles that will end up being cheaper bought together
It's surprising great to be a PC gamer. I grab the occasional bundle on Humble Bundle. But since they changed ownership the donations to charity dropped significantly.
NGL, I actually started watching Tubi after this. For a free channel. the selection while not exactly prestigious, there's more decent stuff there than you'd think. At the very least, there's always Columbo.
fr bro and the funniest part is bro doesnt even have a rank ☠ i checked his xbox profile(the console and username he hit the clip on), bro hadnt played a single comp match in regular playlists and had no peak rank lmao
The dedication of Scott to the bit of refilling his game collection by taking down a sizeable portion of it from the shelf to only put it back up bit by bit is astounding. Just a little detail I noticed watching and that was cool.
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures 1 Corinthians 15:3
Miitopia’s demo on the Switch is great. Sure, you only get access to part of the first world, you ALSO get access to the full Mii Maker. And the Mii Maker in that game is where I got a lot of enjoyment from that game.
A good demo to try is Just Cause 2's demo. It drops you in a small section of the map (which is about the size of a typical sandbox game for other titles) and gives you 30 mins to cause as much chaos as you want. Essentially a highscore mode. In the actual game you can't redo military bases or missions without starting a new game so its pretty neat the demo functionally offered that ability.
@@thatboi1567 lol dude I have a 980ti and a 2nd gen ryzen cpu. I can play anything worth playing right now. try looking up basically any tech youtuber sometime building a pc. I think linus made one for the price of a ps5 recently that ran better than a ps5.
I still have my ps2 and stoped using it's laser for DVDs in preservation and to play games with freemcboot and the micro SD card adapter mc2sio I can play games that are expensive af and on real hardware
Seeing comments about his lack of posts but, is anybody else just happy and grateful? His writing is amazing and you gotta assume he isn't just doing nothing, surely he's doing something else with his time, if not? Just glad he's well. 🎉
Garage Sales/Goodwill gaming finds- Those are a thing of the past but they were real once upon a time. Mostly late 90s/early 2000s when parents would jump dump every cartridge or accessory in their homes.
@MegaMicah12 I think you misread the post, they were talking about finding something really good at goodwill or a garage sale for cheap. These days people know that games can be worth a lot on yhe secondhand market, and goodwill just puts all of the desirable games they get onto their website at the normal going rate for that game. The age of finding a PS1 and 10 classic games for a steal has been over for a while.
Yeah it started going bad in 2007. For a very short while you could still find amazing thrift deals with PS2 and Xbox. Then those started going away as well.
@@MegaMicah12 same thing here in New Jersey lol once it gets nice weather wise there will 100% be yard sales and there's always a goodwill/other thrift stores throughout
37:21 Most of the problems you listed aren’t just problems with the Wii U but for the most part with plenty of other older consoles. The fact that the Wii U has many of the games the Switch has but cheaper AND has phenomenal homebrew/emulation makes it worth it alone in my opinion.
When it comes to gaming on a budget these days an important thing to think about is that generally since late ps3/360 actual development in games has stagnated a HUGE amount, so unless you care immensly about every graphical difference or are really into multiplayer only titles the actual quality of the games really hasn't changed that much, you could argue it's not really changed at all when you consider half the releases on ps5 are just remakes of ps3 games with little to no gameplay differences, it's not the same as it was 30 years ago where every few years the power difference between consoles was enough to go from the original zelda to a link to the past, for most genres the amount of value you get out of a single game and the quality of the actual gameplay hasn't really improved that much since the early 2000s
Yeah he kinda glances over it but all the games the have been remade a ton were never fun in the first place they are just good at gaslighting people repeatedly. Especially skyrim.
@@nathanieljones8043 *good for their time It's really easy to look back at something you once loved and call it a waste of time. People change, Among Us felt great for a couple months but now it's insufferable cringe. Everything is relative, games may only appeal to you at a specific phase in your life. So many games you hate on announcement you might've loved in a different setting.
I remember as a kid the 3DS eShop had a ton of demos that were based on times booted up, not a certain milestone in the game. Theoretically you could finish games like Fire Emblem Awakening if you left the game on. Unless there was some cutoff I never encountered, I always considered doing it but never committed.
For mobile gamers, this may not work on everything but every pre-installed game on my phone can be run at 100% capacity on airplane mode. Which turns off ads.
@@beefomuffin1049 Some word scrabble thing. One of those games where you mix flasks until the colors match. One of them is the game he showed with the letters in a circle. And solitaire. But every update, a new one appears. Samsung be sus sometimes
Everyone knows the game you'll get the most out of is 100 Classic Books for the Nintendo DS. You'll get smarter while gaming and it will take ages to finish.
Ok so, HEAR ME OUT! I'm homeless and I have 2 free phones that can emulate over 3K games for free. DO NOT buy a console for free gaming, phones and chromebooks, laptops all do more than you think they can.
Yakuza/Like a Dragon are some of my go-tos for a single game you can get a lot of content out of. Not only are they on their own pretty chunky main campaigns + tons of side content like side quests or casino games, they're also often compilations games all on their own. Newer titles not only have a decent selection of actual Sega Arcade games, some of which have haven't been re-released in years, but some of the games even have a collection of Sega Master System games you can find and play in their entirety.
RGG games go on sale CONSTANTLY so there's really no point in buying them full price unless it's, like, the latest one. Side note, but in my experience, collections of old games also get insane discounts, see: The Bioshock Collection, The Mass Effect Collection, The Portal Collection, The Ace Attorney Collection. It's great if you missed out on any of these series.
@@thanatoastmanaged to snag the valve collection on steam for around £20, I mean that's after a sale AND a price reduction because I had a few of them already but getting the others for quite cheap was nice.

this video is truly a great guide to people who don't really follow the games industry on a constant basis but still want to play games or want to catch up on old titles.
Buying used games in Japan is so freaking cheap and a lot of fun. After spend 6 month in Japan I bought over 80 games across Playstation consoles and it was only like $300cad. So fun
PAUSE 35:00 Scott, thank you so much for advocating libraries in this video. I'm lucky enough to live near a county library. That has very good funding. And they've got like selections of all sorts of consoles. It's actually astounding. But like to everyone watching this video. Please go to your local library and get a card. If they don't have video games, they might have comic books and if they don't have comic books, they just have books which are also fun. Everyone watching this video. Please go get your library card because you deserve it and libraries are f****** awesome.
I just made a huge comment on this same subject. I LOVE my local libary and it gives me the opportunity to rent SO many games I'd never have the money to buy
Yes. I found out that my local branch doesn't have video games... But the branch next town over does! And because we're part of the same system I can reserve games and have them sent to my library.
Now as long as nobody dumps the game files via the MIG switch dumper everything is awesome.
Yeah, I borrowed a copy of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond from a local library (it's a longer story than you think) and beat it.
YES!!! I didn’t grow up rich, but I played so many good games on my consoles growing up because my parents always took me to the library. I still play some WiiU and 3DS games I get from there to this day! :)
Yesssss libraries fuckin rock 🙌🏻
Important note on the PS3: there are a *lot* of games that are permanently trapped there. The only way to play them otherwise is through that Playstation streaming service.
Or a beefy desktop computer.
poor mgs4
Didn't even make some backwards compatible like Microsoft did with some Xbox 360 & og Xbox games.
Can't wait to see the crazy prices if Sony ever does shut down the PS3 digital store.
@@cruzmatt22 Maybe MGS Collection Vol. 2. But then that would mean giving Konami money for a very likely subpar port so... Ugh.
holy shit its ichijou from pani poni dash
I love how Scott is able to make genuinely informational gaming content while still making it entertaining.
This has gotta be my favorite Tubi advertisement yet, Scott!
I bet the reason so many used game stores exist in his area is because of Scott existing and buying everything
Scott single handedly keeping them in business 😁
Even tho Scott is in this weird universe where he doesn't have a TH-cam channel and just talks to himself, he's still reached the point every TH-camr reaches where he shits all over his old videos.
yes
31:48 PLEASE SHARE WITH US THE RAW DOORBELL FOOTAGE OF "Do you have video games?" SO MANY MEMES CAN BE MADE WITH IT
Driving around town to every yard sale and used game store on a Saturday morning is my preferred form of gambling
Aight so since the last episode, lost my job, got a new one, lost my relationship, didn’t get a new one, and I’ve discovered what depression TRULY feels like. Good to see ya again, Scott.
Hope you're doing well. You got this
Just gotta invest in Gex.
I feel that with saying the wrong thing to friends known half my life. Hang in there.
Best wishes for things getting better ❤
What Scott said in the first 10 seconds of the video should resonate with you
This is the sequel to the "Scott's Game Collection" video, where he states multiple times that owning so many games starts to take the fun out of collecting, and that he honestly wouldn't mind getting rid of it all (baring some childhood favorite) and starting all over.
Nope, it's a direct sequel to the episode about bootlegs, as he said he gave them away to avoid jail
@@CanaanMomentmultiple things can be true at once
@@Gloomdrake Thank you. I know he said the whole jail thing at the start, but I couldn't help thinking back to the episode about collecting and thinking "Wow, he actually went through with it".
@@GloomdrakeHoly crap
Skate 3 was fun when it came out, then it became the #1 game to play when your xbox live subscription ran out, and now its still the best lay back and chill game to play when you really gotta just pass time. Seriously a timeless game
Dude for real me and my friends still play this on my ps3 when they come over, both skate 2 and 3
Happy to see Cave Story finally being talked about and given the praise it deserves by online gaming content creators like Scott :)
Just want to inform people that almost any subscription service will let you cancel immediately after subscribing and still let that month continue, it will just cancel at the end of it. This works for free trials also. You never have to remember to unsubscribe if you do it literally directly after subscribing in the same sitting.
thank you
just read the fine print on those free trials, sometimes canceling early ends the trial as well
- [ ] No better way to celebrate Easter (aka the return of our lord and savior ,Rex)than seeing a Nintendo fanboy talk about how to game on a budget.
Ok
based
real
😂
Rex? Who's that?
My budget gaming consists of downloading illegal copies on my modded home brewed switch.
Skate 3 demo was insanely replayable. Even let u matchmake online against other ppl
If you're a PC gamer, another good thing to consider is stuff like Steam's Spring, Summer, and Winter sales, G2A, Humble bundles, Green Man Gaming, and GOG. All these places do games at reduced prices a lot or in big bundles that will end up being cheaper bought together
Arr! I raise ye a bounty of 0 doubloons!
Don't forget about Epic Games's $15 coupons on top of discounted games that are usually the same price as in Steam sales
It's surprising great to be a PC gamer.
I grab the occasional bundle on Humble Bundle. But since they changed ownership the donations to charity dropped significantly.
Yup, just the other day I brought all 3 witcher games for less than 20
Epic games free games as well
so happy scott was able to negotiate his ability to keep every version of Madden 08 he has
Scott's shit eating grin after he picks up a physical copy of Gotham Knights while waiting for it to download kills me everytime.
NGL, I actually started watching Tubi after this. For a free channel. the selection while not exactly prestigious, there's more decent stuff there than you'd think. At the very least, there's always Columbo.
3:10 Holy shit, I didn't expect Scott to be pulling fuckin aerial goals in Rocket League lmao
Scott the woz balling?!?!?!
@@OtistheGOATis12 my honest reaction ngl
I literally stopped the video up to that part to check if anyone commented on that lol. Glad to see someone beat me to it.
fr bro and the funniest part is bro doesnt even have a rank ☠ i checked his xbox profile(the console and username he hit the clip on), bro hadnt played a single comp match in regular playlists and had no peak rank lmao
The future Scott with a chef hat is the greatest cameo of all time
In 2027 he better start wearing one in every video
@@fredyjazit'll get destroyed in the second episode to save on budget
For real!!
31:28 BRO I SAID GARAGE SALE I LAUGHED SO HARD 🤣🤣🤣
The real way to game on a "budget": 🏴☠
7:18 we just gonna ignore the fact this implies Scott pressed "Lick their feet" 79 times
I'm glad to see I'm the 79 like
That's the joke, Sherlock.
Despite complaining about buying "Trivial Pursuit" previously, he still buys "Trivial Pursuit".
It’s Trivial Pursuit, how on Earth could you pass it off?
True, true
Pretty impressive how this video was an hour long but didnt feel very fillery at all, and the pacing keeps up. Loved it
CAVE STORY MENTIONED THANK YOU SO MUCH SCOTT I LOVE YOU 9:29
“Gaming On A Budget” - Scott the Woz: HD Deluxe
Definitive Edition
& Knuckles With a New Funky Mode Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series S Echoes of an Elusive Age Royal
The dedication of Scott to the bit of refilling his game collection by taking down a sizeable portion of it from the shelf to only put it back up bit by bit is astounding. Just a little detail I noticed watching and that was cool.
scott, buddy, you forgot to mention that the valve complete pack becomes dirt cheap every single seasonal sale.
This was the best Tubi ad ever
Watching Scott recording footage for FFXIV and telling about free trial up to 70th level is out of body experience
I don’t think he fully hates rpgs.
Scott putting Hollow Knight next to infinitely replayable games as have-to-buy games made my life complete.
Why buy new games when you can just wait for Silksong (whenever that is)
Same thing for me with Shovel Knight.
That, Binding of Isaac and Shovel Knight are the ultimate indie games that you can always have fun playing.
10:10 Scott The Woz mentions Deltarune (2024)
15:33 Scott The Woz wants to play Minecraft Dungeons (2024)
20:03 Scott The Woz has Klax (2024)
Wait, if Scott rebuilt his entire game collection at the end of the video… is he once again the guy who owns Sonic Jam?
15:32 It's kinda funny that Scott used a Sharpie to check off things when the paper is black & white, so you can't even see the checkmark. Nice touch!
Scott is now "The Guy Who *USED* To Own Sonic Jam"! I will ensure he is remembered for this after his passing
Scott, I just want to say that you're an amazing person. WE LOVE YOU!!!
19:27 Scott the Woz in AP Bio
I always forget how much I miss Scott's humor until a new video comes out
Right on! Same!
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures
1 Corinthians 15:3
I never forget it’s why i crave new uploads, and plan around watching him even with Scott’s stash i do that.
i always forget how cringe it is
Was just thinking the same lol
Miitopia’s demo on the Switch is great. Sure, you only get access to part of the first world, you ALSO get access to the full Mii Maker. And the Mii Maker in that game is where I got a lot of enjoyment from that game.
Unlike the Mario Vs DK demo....
@@sahaprocks7751 oh boy! 3 levels and a mini Mario stage, just what the doctor ordered!
I watch everyone one of your videos without thinking about it and it never fails, lord scott thanks be to you
A good demo to try is Just Cause 2's demo. It drops you in a small section of the map (which is about the size of a typical sandbox game for other titles) and gives you 30 mins to cause as much chaos as you want. Essentially a highscore mode.
In the actual game you can't redo military bases or missions without starting a new game so its pretty neat the demo functionally offered that ability.
Best budget gaming I ever figured out was modding my consoles.
I have an even better budget gaming idea.
build a pc and pirate everything.
@@PhonePhone-sf8te you need a beefy pc to play games in the 7th generation, wouldnt really be more expensive to just get the console
@@thatboi1567 lol dude I have a 980ti and a 2nd gen ryzen cpu. I can play anything worth playing right now. try looking up basically any tech youtuber sometime building a pc. I think linus made one for the price of a ps5 recently that ran better than a ps5.
I still have my ps2 and stoped using it's laser for DVDs in preservation and to play games with freemcboot and the micro SD card adapter mc2sio I can play games that are expensive af and on real hardware
@@PhonePhone-sf8te PC master race 😎🤓
Nothing like a Scott the Woz video to brighten up my day
Rule 12
I did not expect him to upload either
For me he brightened up my night.
@@IncredibleCactusRoll same
blink twice if you’re being held hostage
I love your videos, Scott. Thank you so much. 😎
Seeing comments about his lack of posts but, is anybody else just happy and grateful? His writing is amazing and you gotta assume he isn't just doing nothing, surely he's doing something else with his time, if not? Just glad he's well. 🎉
thank you scott for telling people to just emulate
Garage Sales/Goodwill gaming finds- Those are a thing of the past but they were real once upon a time. Mostly late 90s/early 2000s when parents would jump dump every cartridge or accessory in their homes.
Uhh...garage sales/Goodwill are still a thing in the Midwest. 😅
I feel like Kentucky and Tennessee might have them too.
@MegaMicah12 I think you misread the post, they were talking about finding something really good at goodwill or a garage sale for cheap. These days people know that games can be worth a lot on yhe secondhand market, and goodwill just puts all of the desirable games they get onto their website at the normal going rate for that game. The age of finding a PS1 and 10 classic games for a steal has been over for a while.
@@ShoobsterAhh, ok.
Yeah, I typically find PC games or the occasional PS2 title at one...so eh, idk.
Yeah it started going bad in 2007. For a very short while you could still find amazing thrift deals with PS2 and Xbox. Then those started going away as well.
@@MegaMicah12 same thing here in New Jersey lol once it gets nice weather wise there will 100% be yard sales and there's always a goodwill/other thrift stores throughout
37:21
Most of the problems you listed aren’t just problems with the Wii U but for the most part with plenty of other older consoles. The fact that the Wii U has many of the games the Switch has but cheaper AND has phenomenal homebrew/emulation makes it worth it alone in my opinion.
Thanks for being awesome, Scott
scott becoming the guy who doesnt own sonic jam is one of the saddest moments in all of history
Wait he doesn’t own Sonic Jam anymore😢
FINALLY SOMETHING TO WATCH WHILE I GET MY EYE SURGERY
you're not gonna have any eyes once i get to you
RTECH17353!!!! WATCH OUT!! DUMBASS2441 IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING
You know you are going to die right🤣
@@TwoNumbahNiensWHAT THE HELL IS THAT
Commenting a bit late but I hope it goes/went well!!
Another gem of a video. Scott, you’re simply the best!!!
This feels like the 4th budget gaming video, and I'm not getting tired
When it comes to gaming on a budget these days an important thing to think about is that generally since late ps3/360 actual development in games has stagnated a HUGE amount, so unless you care immensly about every graphical difference or are really into multiplayer only titles the actual quality of the games really hasn't changed that much, you could argue it's not really changed at all when you consider half the releases on ps5 are just remakes of ps3 games with little to no gameplay differences, it's not the same as it was 30 years ago where every few years the power difference between consoles was enough to go from the original zelda to a link to the past, for most genres the amount of value you get out of a single game and the quality of the actual gameplay hasn't really improved that much since the early 2000s
Yeah he kinda glances over it but all the games the have been remade a ton were never fun in the first place they are just good at gaslighting people repeatedly. Especially skyrim.
The jump in frame rate is pretty massive.
@@nathanieljones8043 *good for their time
It's really easy to look back at something you once loved and call it a waste of time. People change, Among Us felt great for a couple months but now it's insufferable cringe.
Everything is relative, games may only appeal to you at a specific phase in your life. So many games you hate on announcement you might've loved in a different setting.
@@scrittle no I fycking hated skyrim as kid it was so god Damm boring I have no clue how anyone likes that game
scott : gave away all of his gaming collection
also scott : still have all the madden collection behind him
he would NEVER give away peak
You gotta have some coasters for if you have company over
You consider those games?
@@nathanieljones8043no, we consider those life-changing experiences
You need the essentials
Slay the spire for card deck builders is a 10/10 indie game for a budget price. Easily 400+ hours so far.
I remember as a kid the 3DS eShop had a ton of demos that were based on times booted up, not a certain milestone in the game. Theoretically you could finish games like Fire Emblem Awakening if you left the game on. Unless there was some cutoff I never encountered, I always considered doing it but never committed.
For mobile gamers, this may not work on everything but every pre-installed game on my phone can be run at 100% capacity on airplane mode. Which turns off ads.
What are the pre-installed games on your phone
mobile gamers are not real
@@beefomuffin1049 Some word scrabble thing. One of those games where you mix flasks until the colors match. One of them is the game he showed with the letters in a circle. And solitaire. But every update, a new one appears. Samsung be sus sometimes
M-Mobile gamers?? How do you live like that?
Get a phone that actually lets you use it like you own it, download an emulator, and play real games on your phone with no ads for free
31:48 DO YOU HAVE VIDEO GAMES 👁👄👁
Scott this was actually a really good and informative video! Thanks
Another classic. I don’t even play games anymore and I still cherish these videos
Everyone knows the game you'll get the most out of is 100 Classic Books for the Nintendo DS. You'll get smarter while gaming and it will take ages to finish.
if you don't want to actively look for good deals, Steam will literally email you whenever something from your wishlist goes on sale
the fact he didn't mention Steam sales shows his bias towards consoles and physical collecting wayyy too hard
@@internetguy7319 He's also a Mac user.
Scott: I sold all my video games!
Also Scott: Madden 13 and Sega Genesis in the background
Bro I don’t know if there’s another place on TH-cam where you can find this “Disney-to-Deplorable” mishmash style of humor I love it lol
Ok so, HEAR ME OUT! I'm homeless and I have 2 free phones that can emulate over 3K games for free. DO NOT buy a console for free gaming, phones and chromebooks, laptops all do more than you think they can.
Consoles offer you a vastly superior experience
@@MiraiChiakiobjectively not true lol
@@MiraiChiakithe claim is: don’t buy a console for free gaming. Not that one is a more superior experience.
Yarrr harrr 🏴☠️
@@aldogambarini3195 objectively a subjective opinion
@aldogambarini3195 that's an opinion
Yakuza/Like a Dragon are some of my go-tos for a single game you can get a lot of content out of. Not only are they on their own pretty chunky main campaigns + tons of side content like side quests or casino games, they're also often compilations games all on their own.
Newer titles not only have a decent selection of actual Sega Arcade games, some of which have haven't been re-released in years, but some of the games even have a collection of Sega Master System games you can find and play in their entirety.
RGG games go on sale CONSTANTLY so there's really no point in buying them full price unless it's, like, the latest one.
Side note, but in my experience, collections of old games also get insane discounts, see: The Bioshock Collection, The Mass Effect Collection, The Portal Collection, The Ace Attorney Collection. It's great if you missed out on any of these series.
@@thanatoastmanaged to snag the valve collection on steam for around £20, I mean that's after a sale AND a price reduction because I had a few of them already but getting the others for quite cheap was nice.
I played every single Yakuza game except Ishin and Infinite Wealth on Game Pass. That alone justified my past 3 years of game pass.
@@thanatoastScott not talking about Steam was pretty silly
* cough * Pi- Piracy.
Incredible video from that guy who used to own Sonic Jam and has not confirmed whether he currently does.
