At the beginning, Scott is wearing a chef's hat. In a very old episode, it showed Scott in the future and he said he wears a chef's hat now. I love these kind of easter eggs.
I'm not worried. I just won't play games that I cannot own one way or another, and that's where I'll draw the line. There's 50 years of games out from various periods of time, I won't be able to finish all of the worthwhile games released by this point within my lifetime. And game availability isn't a problem for me eith-arrr, hehe. I'm honestly fine with new games ending for me at this point.
@@comododraws4208 because shittalking a service just out of spite, turning off many potential users for who it would be a real fit, is just childish as I said. Isnt it being butthurt shittalking anything a company does in front of a big audience just because you dont personally like them?
With cloud gaming, it doesn’t feel like you own the games. It more so feels like you borrowed the games from a friend and then forgot to give them back and when you remembered your friend had already moved to another city.
It's more like your friend shared their Steam library for retail price per game you want to play, then at some point in the future when you've both become strangers, revokes your access even though you've paid hundreds of dollars to play said games and refuses to reply to your emails for refunds, citing some arbitrary verbal agreement you both made 10 years ago when you were still friends.
I figured this out one time bc he mentioned he was not going to softmod his wii (or something) to do something along the lines of play import discs, and decided to buy a whole console from abroad. Can't remember for sure, but I know it was a softmod I was familiar with so I'm like WTF??? So I thought, "hmm, I guess he really really doesn't enjoy that stuff"-- but I can't get enough of it, I crack a lot of my consoles. Other people do all the work, make it so you can drag and drop a few files and hit flash in their custom programs, it's wild. I digress tho, man likes to collect, so I can see why he'd perhaps like to pay and get something rather than tinker and work and hopefully get something similar for free. Hardcore Casual describes it best. You win.
Scott is really interesting. He's definitely a casual gamer, but gaming is his lifelong hobby and largely his career because of his TH-cam channel. So he plays games as a hobbyist but he plays a LOT of them. And despite being casual, he's invested enough into the gaming community to know a lot of things that would go over a lot of casual's heads and have decently well founded opinions on them. So yeah, a hardcore casual gamer is the perfect description.
@@Lucky_9705 Ah, I didn't see that. I usually watch on the highest quality, but I'm so used to just regular 1080p on Scott's videos that I glossed over the 60 at the end lol.
Seeing as a perfect in box Mario 64 is worth less than $5k I'd say that rich guy greatly over payed. Rich people like this that dont know anything about video games are ruining it for the rest of us. The seller had major balls to originally list it for $100k too. Fuckin idiots.
@@zombietrash416 nah, you're assuming an insane amount of stupidity for someone that has likely built up their fortune by knowing how to handle money better than most. That was more than likely an unsavory new-age form of money laundering instead. They do the same with art, modern art especially. It's often a scam to hide, transfer, or clean money in a way that is even less egregious than alternatives. Since everyone just chalks it up to dumb rich people being dumb. Though I guess it could be some rich "investor" trying to inflate the perceived value of these games, so they can dump a lot of stock at a profit later. Which is plausible, given the inflation in old Nintendo game/console prices in the last few years.
That intro bit reminds me of a phrase I heard recently: "No one wants to play old games, they just want to feel they way they felt when they played old games"
I think that’s a bit situational, as many people want to play old games that they never got to before. For example, say you were born a decade ago and have just recently started getting into a long running series (let’s say Zelda for this example). Breath of the wild came out and you loved it, you’re looking forward to its sequel and skyward sword HD, and in the meantime, you’d like to see what else the series has in its history. Of course, you’d then want to play the older games, even if you’ve never played them before. Outside of this example regarding an ongoing series, word often gets around about some great one-off games on hardware that you don’t or didn’t have when it was in circulation. Some examples are Asura’s Wrath on PS3, which tons of people have talked about how good it and it’s Street Fighter DLC was, yet it’s only available on PS3 and PlayStation Now. I remember having purely Nintendo consoles growing up, and sometimes I’d hear about the stuff going on with Sega, like jet set radio, crazy taxi, nights, etc. Once I got older, I eventually got to play them via steam and enjoyed them, even if I never played them as a kid. In short, if a game is good, people will want to play it, be it new or old, regardless of if they’ve played it before.

I just can't get over the reliance on an internet connection, the fact that I'll still have to pay full price for everything, and the fact that it makes it virtually impossible to preserve games in the long run.
It’s also kinda ironic when you consider that many of these companies keep trying, and mostly failing, to push long term “games as a service” type games down everyone’s throats.
@@proluit_igne3619 oh, of course. But the goal of that has more to do with squeezing more money out of a single game than keeping that game running in perpetuity. I mean, ideally for them, they'd have a system like FIFA.

It also resets what they bought, so the whales have more to buy. There is no real reason that game shpuld have yearly releases and full price tag. But it does, because they can get away with it.
Where did you get the part that you have to pay full price for everything? Steam prices are at their lowest and I grabbed $60 games for less than $6 on Stadia.
The concern many have over game preservation when it comes to streaming is ironic when you think about it. Traditionally, each generation risks making the previous inaccessible due to incompatibility. But streaming ensures that the game will always be available to play, long past when hardware has changed, and even if you've lost the physical media.
And now, on September 29, 2022, they have just announced that they will be shutting stadia down and refunding people's money. It is a joyous time for Scott🙂.
Do any games even require it nowadays? I used to have super inconsistent wifi and I don’t remember ever not being able to play a single player game I own
@@WellCookedPotatoes It's not always online, but I believe the consoles will stop playing games eventually if you never update the console software. I think that is what he is talking about.
@@WellCookedPotatoes I think it is an every once in a while check in ping. And it is my understanding that devs are honest to god scared of piracy. While I don't think they should be as scared as they are, I get it. I would prob be overly paranoid about it if I worked at a games comp too. Especially after what happened with the PSP (although I think sony's numbers are prob an over estimate) but idk
@@WellCookedPotatoes Depends. For the backwards compatibility games on xbox one, you need an internet connection to download their emulated build of that particular game. Regular xbox one single player games? Nah.
This video makes me so happy. I've been working on college preparations and most of it is online. Doing stuff like that on computers always makes me so anxious. Sometimes I feel like I'm crazy for hating it so much, but seeing that bit where Scott struggled to just play a game made me feel so justified. Nothing should EVER need more than two accounts to do. It shouldn't be this complicated.
Omg yeah, I spent so much time trying to get GeForce Now to work and then it’s lag was unbearable. I play Stadia and like Scott, I forget I’m playing on the cloud.
I actually used Onlive, right up until their servers basically just started being unplayable, etc, and I loved it. I had a crappy laptop that couldn't run any games, so it was heaven for me... When it worked. Plus the social hub aspect of it is still the best I'd ever seen, and has still yet to be replicated. I miss it, but boy it sure was doomed to fail.
Cloud Gaming seems like the perfect replacement for rental games, remember back in the day when you'd rent or borrow games from Blockbuster/the library? It feels like Cloud Gaming could easily step into that space as like something you can use to try out games you're unsure about or games that you can't justify buying fully.
xbox game pass streaming works like this. you can instantly start up most of the games on game pass & see if you’ll like it with little input lag & high quality streaming.
I agree. Also, I think cloud gaming has potential in weaker hardware. This means that vr headsets could become 10x more lightweight while having more or less the same performance.
Honestly- I'm fine with Cloud gaming being a valid OPTION. Having many options that work is great, be it physical, digital or cloud. But what I hate is how the communities of said cloud services claim it'll be a definitive way to buy/play games, and other options will cease to exist because of that. Which I find pretty baffling considering that they work fine and have their own good sides. No point stopping things that work and are not detrimental. I've been on PCMR forums where they're less elitistic about hardware than these people are for cloud services. And that's saying something.
I think PS remote play is a nice middle ground you can hook your console with a hardline internet connection, buy physical games, and stream your own games on the go or at home if the TV isn’t available, that’s how I played most of ghost of Tsushima on my iPhone with a backbone controller and it was pretty good
The consistency in Scott's videos is honestly such a big and important aspect for me. All the long running jokes, the lore, etc, really makes you feel rewarded for being a long time fan. It's almost reminiscent of inside-jokes you make with friends. Scott the Woz is such a great show. These videos just feel welcoming, in a way.
"I'm not apposed to the future, I'm just scared sh*tless about it." I'm just waiting for them to charge us for every step our character takes in a game.
Which is why people need to realize that cloud gaming will be very much anti-consumer.. Problem is they are like adult toddlers.. "Me want it now", instead of thinking long term. And when they do predictably get screwed, gamers will bitch and complain when the situation was their own damn fault to begin with Nobody gives a care about long term consequences so long as they get their instant gratification
There was no "Hey all, Scott here" and there was no end screen. Is this what we have come to as the human race? Does getting with the times really mean that we have to abandon all that we have loved and cherished for years and years? What a strong, underrated message by Scott here. He never ceases to amaze me with his artistic capabilities.
Cloud Gaming was enough for me when I couldn’t afford a console. It was much more realistic for me to pay a monthly fee instead (I would eventually exchange said monthly fee for a financed console)- but my god, do I enjoy physical media more. I love looking over at my shelf and knowing I built that up.
I want to be against cloud gaming but The Xbox Game Pass is so overpowered right now it's not even funny They're gonna nerf it eventually but DAMN SO MANY GAMES
Tbf that's not exactly cloud gaming, that's just allowing you to download games and play them as normal And yes ik they have Xcloud but that's an optional feature of Game Pass, not the main thing
@@achebeterence6908 won't happen dude, heck, discs nowadays are just a token to start an internet download in many cases, many physical switch games are just a glorified coupon with a download code, what we should push for is for warranties to access our games.
@@achebeterence6908 you do know that disc ownership on ps and Xbox is still a download you have to do over the internet right? So now there’s literally no reason to own some except that they’re cheaper on sale
@@Kaplykos look it’s how I hear it and it’s how others hear it just because you want people to know that it’s all instead of y’all doesn’t mean they’re are going to change their opinion about it
I like how they started pushing cloud gaming, and here I am sitting in the Scottish Highlands just impressed that I can now sometimes stream Netflix reliably, so long as no one else in the house is trying to. Yeah, I don't think cloud gaming is ever going to hook me. At least the physical and downloaded games I can play when a storm knocks out the internet for a day. That, and you can be sure that when/if you move house, your shit will still work, it won't suddenly be outside the area that the streaming service is licensed for if you move international, or your internet specs will have changed so drastically that it no longer works, you can just put in the disc or turn on the console same as always. And yeah, not even going to entertain streaming on the go when half of the six hour train journey between home and my university flat had no signal. Why would I ever take the risks of streaming on the go when I can have a DS, 3DS, Switch, or hell, even a phone with an emulator and a bunch of old game roms downloaded on it instead?
Cloud gaming has massive potential, but making it work reliably would require a lot more devotion from streaming companies. Maybe it's still too soon for this technology, but it has a future, hopefully.
@@CrazyRiverOtter I mean, yeah we are missing some features *cough cough* gyroids *cough* but we have had some big updates, like the one that added all the deep sea creatures. Also for some reason the same team working on animal crossing is also working on splatoon 3, so they're probably focusing on that right now. The more that I think about it that's 2 games that they have to work on that are gonna get a lot of updates, this seems like a bad idea to me.
16:58 This is one of those images where you could put the words "Before and After Drugs" on it and oddly enough it would somehow still be kinda fitting
Ohhhh, OnLive! Back when my PC was an absolute trash fire, this was honestly a cool idea... back in 2011. Now, 10 years later, everyone knows this is a terrible, awful, bad, no-good idea.
Personally GeForce Now worked best for me. I could bring over all the Steam games I had, and I had a great experience overall. Although I was surprised at how good Stadia was, considering its garbage fire of a launch
It's honestly ridiculous how far ahead of the competition Game Pass is. Amazon and Google I have zero hope for but Sony I do think at some point this decade will realize how unbelievably idiotic they've been letting Microsoft get the jump on them and will start dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into improving PS Now. However the longer they wait the longer it's gonna take them to catch up and if they wait too long there's a very real possibility that Microsoft dethrones them for a long while. And with how much ass Nintendo is kicking I doubt Sony would be able to break back into the portable console market again.
Depends what you mean, GamePass is ahead in terms of having a subscription model and service that works and appeals to everyone, but so far their cloud streaming is much worse than Amazon Luna, Google Stadia, and GeForce Now.
@@dontbe3greedy608 Yeah that's true, only thing for me is that Amazon is too big of a company, so even though Luna runs great, I kind of don't want to support them😅.
Oh, Amazon has way more than that. They have several cloud services for consumers (prime video, prime music) and also cloud infrastructure for developer and enterprises (amazon web services)
@@Random-ne7uv look man its an enigma. is it hey all or hey *yall!??* its like the eternal questions of: did the chicken or the egg come first. or did all those people on xbox live reall bang my mom.
"Onlive! A cloud gaming service hellbent on going bankrupt two years later." **Tries to start it anyway despite said service not existing anymore due to said bankruptcy** I honestly don't know what he was expecting to happen.
I look forward to these videos every week more than any tv show lol. Watching these videos seriously always brightens up my day. I have no idea how Scott can keep pumping out these high quality videos with hilarious jokes every week but God bless him for it
I agree so much. Game collections are amazing. It's just so nice to have all these games, organized with love, to represent something you cherish. I love how every game collection is unique and personalized.
@@GloriousGandalf I agree with you 100%. It’s also cool to watch your collection grow over the years. Take the Nintendo Switch; you started out with a few games and have watched your collection grow four years later.
@@isaaclee3271 I feel the same way. Digital just isn’t as fun to have. I have Rocket League digital because there was a sell on it back in 2018. I understand there may come a day when we go fully digital, but let’s hope that isn’t for many years to come :)
Plus, in 20 years you'll still be able to play them just like today with people still having GameCube and Dreamcast with their original games. Good luck playing a downloaded PS5 game in 2042.
Streaming is really convenient but sometimes I miss the love that goes into a physical release. This year I bought my first cd album and honestly it's pretty lovely. With a CD that has a super cool design, a really big sticker, a card with a special version of one of the songs and a some paper with the lyrics of the songs. I really hope we don't lose this on games too.

Well we have to start hating that phrase so it becomes a prophecy thing for the Woz
“Games on demand!”
“Give demand a second”
Tbh, always online for single player games is still total BS.
Do any games even require it nowadays? I used to have super inconsistent wifi and I don’t remember ever not being able to play a single player game I own
@@WellCookedPotatoes It's not always online, but I believe the consoles will stop playing games eventually if you never update the console software. I think that is what he is talking about.
@@WellCookedPotatoes I think it is an every once in a while check in ping. And it is my understanding that devs are honest to god scared of piracy. While I don't think they should be as scared as they are, I get it. I would prob be overly paranoid about it if I worked at a games comp too. Especially after what happened with the PSP (although I think sony's numbers are prob an over estimate) but idk
@@WellCookedPotatoes Depends. For the backwards compatibility games on xbox one, you need an internet connection to download their emulated build of that particular game. Regular xbox one single player games? Nah.
@@WellCookedPotatoes
Tons of mobile games are entirely online only, and there's probably a few proper games that require it still around.

@@kusaba7770 it’s a 2027 thing you wouldn’t get it
"This kind of stuff gets me off and I still don't care". Probably one of the funniest thing I ever heard Scott say
This video makes me so happy. I've been working on college preparations and most of it is online. Doing stuff like that on computers always makes me so anxious. Sometimes I feel like I'm crazy for hating it so much, but seeing that bit where Scott struggled to just play a game made me feel so justified. Nothing should EVER need more than two accounts to do. It shouldn't be this complicated.
Omg yeah, I spent so much time trying to get GeForce Now to work and then it’s lag was unbearable. I play Stadia and like Scott, I forget I’m playing on the cloud.
I actually used Onlive, right up until their servers basically just started being unplayable, etc, and I loved it. I had a crappy laptop that couldn't run any games, so it was heaven for me... When it worked. Plus the social hub aspect of it is still the best I'd ever seen, and has still yet to be replicated. I miss it, but boy it sure was doomed to fail.

Cloud Gaming seems like the perfect replacement for rental games, remember back in the day when you'd rent or borrow games from Blockbuster/the library? It feels like Cloud Gaming could easily step into that space as like something you can use to try out games you're unsure about or games that you can't justify buying fully.
Game subscription services basically is this, except you can borrow as many games as you want.
Back in the day? The library chain where I live still has video games available.
xbox game pass streaming works like this. you can instantly start up most of the games on game pass & see if you’ll like it with little input lag & high quality streaming.
I agree. Also, I think cloud gaming has potential in weaker hardware. This means that vr headsets could become 10x more lightweight while having more or less the same performance.
I use to do that with GameFly.
"Scott Wozniak shows off his cloud gaming subscriptions for 21 minutes"

I wanna say he cancelled most of these by the time he was done with the video, except maybe XCloud

@@ForrestFox626 Cash Banooca is waay to op. That's why Scott zooms in..
Honestly- I'm fine with Cloud gaming being a valid OPTION.
Having many options that work is great, be it physical, digital or cloud. But what I hate is how the communities of said cloud services claim it'll be a definitive way to buy/play games, and other options will cease to exist because of that. Which I find pretty baffling considering that they work fine and have their own good sides. No point stopping things that work and are not detrimental.
I've been on PCMR forums where they're less elitistic about hardware than these people are for cloud services. And that's saying something.
Honestly, they could catch more people interest if they didn't try to present it as "the future of gaming"
I think PS remote play is a nice middle ground you can hook your console with a hardline internet connection, buy physical games, and stream your own games on the go or at home if the TV isn’t available, that’s how I played most of ghost of Tsushima on my iPhone with a backbone controller and it was pretty good
I love the consistency of him wearing a chef's hat in the future
So long as it’s 2027 onwards, you’ll see it
Scott really is the most consistent person in the world
The consistency in Scott's videos is honestly such a big and important aspect for me. All the long running jokes, the lore, etc, really makes you feel rewarded for being a long time fan. It's almost reminiscent of inside-jokes you make with friends.
Scott the Woz is such a great show. These videos just feel welcoming, in a way.
and eye patches
I want to know what sous chef Scott is grilling up
Amazing that Scott was willing to burn down his house for a one-second bit. Truly the most committed content creator out there.
Honestly if he does it for real at one point I would barely be surprised
1:42 I love how Scott shows stuff like he's a model on the shopping network
Something about Scott throwing a toothbrush on the ground while saying "no" is very *chef's kiss*
"I'm not apposed to the future, I'm just scared sh*tless about it." I'm just waiting for them to charge us for every step our character takes in a game.
Which is why people need to realize that cloud gaming will be very much anti-consumer..
Problem is they are like adult toddlers.. "Me want it now", instead of thinking long term.
And when they do predictably get screwed, gamers will bitch and complain when the situation was their own damn fault to begin with
Nobody gives a care about long term consequences so long as they get their instant gratification
Don't give them any ideas...

There was no "Hey all, Scott here" and there was no end screen. Is this what we have come to as the human race? Does getting with the times really mean that we have to abandon all that we have loved and cherished for years and years? What a strong, underrated message by Scott here. He never ceases to amaze me with his artistic capabilities.
he did say "hey all, scott here" just not immediately at the start

I like how they started pushing cloud gaming, and here I am sitting in the Scottish Highlands just impressed that I can now sometimes stream Netflix reliably, so long as no one else in the house is trying to.
Yeah, I don't think cloud gaming is ever going to hook me. At least the physical and downloaded games I can play when a storm knocks out the internet for a day. That, and you can be sure that when/if you move house, your shit will still work, it won't suddenly be outside the area that the streaming service is licensed for if you move international, or your internet specs will have changed so drastically that it no longer works, you can just put in the disc or turn on the console same as always.
And yeah, not even going to entertain streaming on the go when half of the six hour train journey between home and my university flat had no signal. Why would I ever take the risks of streaming on the go when I can have a DS, 3DS, Switch, or hell, even a phone with an emulator and a bunch of old game roms downloaded on it instead?
^ this is the truth for many people. i don't think cloud gaming has a chance for now to make games more mainstream. maybe complement it
Cloud gaming has massive potential, but making it work reliably would require a lot more devotion from streaming companies.
Maybe it's still too soon for this technology, but it has a future, hopefully.

You mean like how they killed Super Mario 35?

@@CrazyRiverOtter I mean, yeah we are missing some features *cough cough* gyroids *cough* but we have had some big updates, like the one that added all the deep sea creatures. Also for some reason the same team working on animal crossing is also working on splatoon 3, so they're probably focusing on that right now. The more that I think about it that's 2 games that they have to work on that are gonna get a lot of updates, this seems like a bad idea to me.

It's honestly ridiculous how far ahead of the competition Game Pass is. Amazon and Google I have zero hope for but Sony I do think at some point this decade will realize how unbelievably idiotic they've been letting Microsoft get the jump on them and will start dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into improving PS Now. However the longer they wait the longer it's gonna take them to catch up and if they wait too long there's a very real possibility that Microsoft dethrones them for a long while. And with how much ass Nintendo is kicking I doubt Sony would be able to break back into the portable console market again.
I actually really like luna. No lag, just low game selection
Depends what you mean, GamePass is ahead in terms of having a subscription model and service that works and appeals to everyone, but so far their cloud streaming is much worse than Amazon Luna, Google Stadia, and GeForce Now.
@@mistamaog luna is best, but doesn't have games. I have both luna and game pass and I prefer luna any day. More premium too
@@dontbe3greedy608 Yeah that's true, only thing for me is that Amazon is too big of a company, so even though Luna runs great, I kind of don't want to support them😅.

I agree so much. Game collections are amazing. It's just so nice to have all these games, organized with love, to represent something you cherish. I love how every game collection is unique and personalized.
True that, I still prefer physical copies because there's that collectors aspect to it that just doesn't feel the same with digital.
@@GloriousGandalf I agree with you 100%. It’s also cool to watch your collection grow over the years. Take the Nintendo Switch; you started out with a few games and have watched your collection grow four years later.
@@isaaclee3271 I feel the same way. Digital just isn’t as fun to have. I have Rocket League digital because there was a sell on it back in 2018. I understand there may come a day when we go fully digital, but let’s hope that isn’t for many years to come :)
