It always impresses me how much Scott packs into his scripts. That opening segment about 8/16-bit era was so full of quality writing and content that I had thought I was halfway through afterward, only to be presently surprised that it was just over 4 minutes.
Nah he talks about the same shit every vid

Fun Fact: Nintendo makes money off their consoles, unlike Sony and Microsoft which are so more graphically impressive/demanding that the only path available is to lose money on console sales and make it up in game sales.
@Simo Das That was not the argument.
It's not about how long it took MS/Sony to get into profit after substracting production, development, distribution, marketing etc.
It is purely about production costs vs. actual costs for consumers.
For Example (numbers I made up)
Sony/MS pay 700€ to produce a console. You as a gamer pay only 500€.
Sony/MS has lost 200€, but they will get into positive when you buy a lot of games.
Nintendo makes a Switch for 200€. You pay 300€. Nintendo makes 100€.
Nintendo does not need to sell you a lot of Games to make a profit. They already made money with the console selling itself. Sony/MS dont do that.
What? Neither Sony nor Microsoft make money off their consoles. The both lose money, alot infact. They make money of subscriptions and licensing.
@@grahamclarke846 yeah that’s what he said dude

I’m literally shaking and crying, Scott finally spoke a whole sentence about Monster Hunter
Yes like the mh series is finally a real thing to scott.. hope fully he makes a full vid about it one day
Just wait until you hear about the 3ds rumors video. He acknowledges Monster Hunter's existence like a fucking boss
I hope to God you’re joking
Maybe like a better franchise, perhaps?
That was sarcasm
The fact that he mentioned danganronpa before monster hunter makes some people better than you 😂
Scott on Microsoft: "Everything can be bought out. Why build your own team when you can just steal somebody else's."
4 months later.....
Microsoft buys Activision/Blizzard. Yep. nothing changed there
The only studio Microsoft built is 343 Industries
And The Coalition, but i think MS played a major role on the future of some studios they bought, some of them developed only for Xbox even before the adquistion like Undead Labs or Turn10
@@glass1098
Bethesda's first home console release was an Xbox original exclusive with Elder Scrolls 3
@@dougtheghoul2845 The game started on PC, though, so is that really an exclusive?
Scott's take on Microsoft is literally what I do for competitive games, literally steal their fucking build and mod it to what I like. That's what I do for card games, Pokemon video games, smash, Mario kart 8 deluxe, etc
to be honest as much as nintendo consoles are somewhat underpowered these days i do appreciate how they have (arguably) revolutionary concepts such as the wii with reliable motion controls and the nintendo switch being both home and travel rather than needing two separate consoles

8:34 I love that little double take he has when he realizes he held them in the wrong order and has to just roll with it.
not really a double take...
Nah, I think he intentionally pull the wrong games for the sake of making a joke.
Showing them in the wrong order was a flub. Deciding to use that take is big-brain comedy.
@@Abbaschand Making a joke that most viewers with either not notice, or just interpret as an error in an otherwise serious line delivery with no comedic value or timing? Doesn't really seem like Scott's style, but that's just me.
Edit: Guys, even if he's made jokes that he's never acknowledged before, he's made mistakes before too. Even the mightiest of virgins are not infallible. Occam's Razor says he just made a small error and kept it in. I didn't mean to start a whole debate over 5 seconds of a Scott the Woz video.
@@PanzerMan332 I mean, he's shown Fire Emblem in the background of at least three videos and has not mentioned it once.
Finally, Scott has recognized the existence of Peggle. Life is complete.

Console fans arguing each other in a nutshell
The GameCube's small corner "only for GameCube" is so great looking, much better than just plain white text
Oh wow such a deal breaker.
Eh I don’t like them on my games personally
@@ibelieveinjesusinmyspareti2861 did I say that? I said "it looks great" it's a small aesthetic design on the corner which to me looks better than plain text, even the Xbox "stamp" looks pretty cool with it's colors
I always liked the N64's version best of them all. The color scheme combined with the cartridge box always made them feel REALLY special compared to the competition (or the GC's darker, black/purple color scheme).
"Who in their right mind bought Injustice on Wii U"
Me nervously looking over at my copy of Injustice on Wii U
He said "in their right mind"
He said “in their right mind”
He didn’t say ‘in their wrong mind’.
I actually legitimately enjoy my copy of injustice for the Wii u

Under rated
It's really cool how you can tell that Scott's budget has increased and that he can produce his videos a bit more professionally now, but this still feels like a Scott the Woz video. There isn't that awkward air, like there's someone breathing down his neck to make a video more like a TV show or more like [insert popular creator here]. He's still Scott the Woz and that's a genuine comfort
Scott's budget has always been infinite
Yeah, he didn’t make the mistakes Jontron made
17:45 whats that music
@Jack F- It’s really not, though.
100th
It’s at this point where I’m still wondering… “How was Dream nominated for content creator of the year at The Game Awards and yet Scott wasn’t?!”
Scott and Smallant should have been nomitated
Scott creates ART, not CONTENT (I'm only half joking)
Because, children that’s why
Because the game awards are rigged and nobody should care about them in the first place.
@@smittywerbenjagermanjensen8674 mate children watch scott too tbf lol
Glad to see a _Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance_ cameo at 6:12.
I don't really know why, but this is probably one of my favorite Scott The Woz episodes now. It was weirdly funny, plus informative.
"If Nintendo was a person, they wouldn't live past noon," quite possibly the best quote to describe nintendo
Yea a quote to be remembered
Actually if Nintendo was a person they would be Steve Jobs.
Everyone else is doing discs? Fuck that!
We are making our console a purple cube!
Look at the Wii, it has motion controllers that do work!
Wii U... you need a tablet to use it only we are not calling it a tablet!
The Switch... now the videogame console is just the tablet!
@@raxadian I mean, the Switch is tablet because is handheld lol (duh)
@@raven.4815 it's a hybrid, duh
Nope that's the Switch Lite. The Switch can be used to play on the TV so is both a handheld and a TV videogame console.
The TT Games "Lego Games" really deserve a video of their own
Especially with the skywalker sage being released soon since Lucas film really helped get them made
Yes
I played lego marvel super heros to death, the sequel is… eh. I prefer the earlier one so much more, its gor some sorta charm and it shows how ots lived through 3 generations with no backlash because its so timeless and Can be replayed infinitely and ive played it like 5 or 6 times AT LEAST.
Scott said he'll do it this year, we'll see.
While I do agree that there is a "feeling" for Playstation exclusives like God of War or the Last of us Sony does publish a more diverse cataloge, they just don't market it as muchs. Look at the Little Big Planet franshise, Astrobot, Concrete Genie, Ratcher and Clank or Dreams. That said do miss the more wacky games from the PSP like Patapon or Loco Roco.
Gravity Rush, Parappa, Ape Escape...
Yeah those all vanished too 🙄 sony must really like the back of necks
@@dapperfan44 dude I wish they release gravity rush on PC Xbox switch
14:40 AMEN
Scott talking about this like he doesn't know the color blue is only exclusive to his channel
He’s colorblind he doesn’t see race.
so true
He also doesn't know the Dreamcast ran a version of Windows for dozens of games. And that Microsoft had been trying to get console games to PC since Windows 3.1, that's why Sonic CD on PC used to be such a mess, and why Earth Worm Jim for Windows 95 has such a lame Icon, the development of those games started for Windows 3.1 but then Windows 95 came out so some changes were made.
@@raxadian does he not know that
Or is it a level of detail that is unnecessary for a video that's about broad and general summaries of multiple consoles and console generations
@@metaforth1271 si
That new background is uncomfortably smooth.
Yea it’s minimal and I love it

Like Scott the woz.
I love the amount of depth Scott puts into videos like these. He pretty much leaves no stone un-turned! Fun video to watch! :)
11:30 YES THANK YOU. I love PlayStation. I do. But when I look at the recent games they're churning out compared to the weird and off beat titles from PS1 to PS3 and even a little bit on PS4 if it's Limited Run, I feel a little bit hollow knowing Sony just wants to make what's essentially blockbuster movies. I started collecting PS1 games and my god alot of what I've found or bought would not be made on last gen or current gen consoles.
Totally agree. I was there for the PS2 and 3 era, and we had both consoles at one point. There was so much variety growing up! LittleBigPlanet was innovative and stylistically different from everything else. I wish more games that tested the waters with a new creative approach hit the mainstream and didn't get buried underneath the hundreds of thousands of other Indie titles.
Sony really wants to make blockbuster movies, but the problem is, THEY CAN. They MAKE movies, they own Columbia Pictures. They own movie franchises, they own Spiderman. There is truly nothing besides business and legalese that can prevent them from creating a movie instead of a game but NOOOOO, they rather not.
Okay now this is 100% the first StW episode that feels like it was made for TV. The aspect ratio and everything looks just mwah
That HD Quality and (I think) higher frame rate makes everything look even more premium.
Honestly, it feels the same to me

As a baseball fan who played Xbox, the Show coming to Xbox was a godsend. Xbox hadn’t released a true licensed baseball sim since MLB 2k13. The only licensed game was RBI baseball and that was a lot more arcade style than it was a sim
I love how Scott used the soundtrack from Gravity Rush as his background tracks. One of my favourite and most underrated games made.
He did an episode on it
Yep and Sony killed it off.
A great Vita exclusive.
@@dazza2350 Way off topic, but Conduit 2 is also one of the most underrated games ever made
*goes back into hole*
It is an amazing duology and I’m sad the series is probably dead.

“Imagine if Scott released a video on video game exclusives.”
*TH-cam: 1 New Notification*
**gasp**
he has no definitive schedule which makes every upload more a surprise and helps bring a smile to our faces
20:00 Thirdly, in a fighting game context, most majors ban exclusive characters outright, so no point in learning them.
Scott helps me feel tons of love for classic video games
Scott, don't forget that Pac Man was only officially licensed to Atari at the time which meant the only way to play a real Pac Man game at home was on a 2600, which resulted in INSANE sales for Atari.
Sure, other guys had their clones, but they were either worse or sued into obscurity.
That's really interesting, I didn't know Atari had exclusive home rights to Pac-Man at the time.
But it also lead to The Video Game Crash Of 1983.

22:29 He orders 19 copies of Shovel Knight.
Scott just goes to the barber and says "I'll have the usual"
I mean that’s what most people do….
the same barber who gave him his first haircut
That is what I do. I don't even go in that often.
That’s more like what he says when going to an Olive Garden for the very first time on a family trip to Orlando and it’s the first night and nobody feels like searching for a local restaurant so they just go with the safe bet.

5:07 I've always been impressed with how Resident Evil 2 was ported to the N64 with more content when the original took up two CDs. The N64 version even had the FMV cutscenes despite the N64 not natively being able to play video files. Sure they were compressed to all hell, but that still doesn't take away from how impressive it is.
You know what would be genius? Imagine if the first new episode of scott the woz to air on g4 was about gaming televison, which eventually would lead to scott learning hes on g4 “without him knowing”. Scott would then go to the studio and would do a skit with the rest of the cast until eventually just deciding to stay on the network.
Too bad that they just ran cut reruns of his old videos and the network lasted barely any time at all lmaooo
5:40 never in my life would i expect scott to be within 5 feet of a pc

Sony stopped with game exploration post-ps3 because they went “bankrupt”. Unknown to many since it was more a Japan thing, SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment) is the current company behind PlayStation, connected to Sony the main company. They used to be called SCE, (Sony Computer Entertainment), but the failed launch of PS3, the development hell of PS3, ocombined with free online server maintenance and a non-cost optimized PSP ate away so much on the company itself. Sony the main company restructured SCE to SIE, moving the HQ to in the process US and avoided a official bankruptcy but since then, they have been very careful on how much is being spent.
I disagree Dreams alone disproves your claim
I would like to watch a TH-cam video about this topic
9:28 foreshadowing
Even though he said he didn't play jrpg, Scott actually plays SMT on hard modes, he is just hesitant to acknowledge it
He admitted on Twitter that he enjoyed p4
I could care less tbh.
I don't even like vode games.
SMT on hard mode isn't hard, just inherit invulnerability from your elements including physical lulz. Most "hard" games outside of like hollow knight can easily be overcome with a trick like this, usually. In bravely default 2 you can stack up combat rewards and powerlevel in the startzone too. Smt5 actually meaningfully changes the dialogues with demons, which does make it a lot more fun. Most fun hard mode of any game I played so far.
@@scottpilgrim2 Yeah, if you go around looking up the most effective way to do anything it won't be hard. RPGs especially have that problem because as you said that if you figure out how to abuse skills and abilities it just becomes a 40 hour snooze fest

This aged well now
Kinky!
Microsoft cannibalizing Rare was one of the worst things to happen to gaming. Rare's core development team going separate ways may have happened anyway, but it's hard to imagine the direction of the company going more wrong than a few lackluster titles, lapsing into relative obscurity, and finally being relegated to doing Kinect games until someone decided Sea of Thieves was worth producing.
I have literally never been excited about something being exclusive to a console I own, or just in general. It's always either "oh thank god it's not exclusive to the consoles I don't own" or "god dammit, I guess I'm still not playing Bloodborne". I just want to play Bloodborne man...
Fun fact, the HD version of Soul Calibur 2 added all of the characters from various ports, except link. Had there been a Wii U port of it, we probably would have Link, Heihachi and Spawn in unison.
@Sharad Kumar Singh You good m8? Just an observation I made lol I wouldn't expect Nintendo to allow their IPs on other consoles.
It’s a fact that Scott uploads at a random, unpredictable time.
I'm happy he's not on a strict schedule anymore, he was exhausted and the new schedule helps a lot. It gives him more flexibility with making a big bombastic episode without having to rush to get it out in a week.
Consistently random.
I’m not sure if he does have a new schedule though, he hasn’t mentioned anything of it other than a tweet from about a month ago saying that next year may bring a slight schedule change
Hold up, he doesn't have the same schedule as before? I haven't been so up to date with his videos the last couple of weeks, but I thought he always released his videos on Sunday, with only a few exceptions (tho, now that I think about it, this video did come out on Friday, so maybe I just haven't been paying attention to that)
i've been watching through all of your videos and im super happy that you don't do sponsorship videos. thanks Scott! I appreciate it!
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles had a really cool gameplay featuer on the Gamecube. I think it's explusivity was worth it. The Gameboy controller usage was creative and allowed players to manage their inventories without pausing the game for everyone else in your party. You could also switch to a minimap that would help you explore the map. Nintendo used to do neat things like that. The Mario Kart RC car is cool, but I thinkt hey could have done more with it, like remote internet play with friends controlling your car if you had your switch docked with ethernet.
24:09 I mean, if the Ubisoft Gunk is lethal and deadly enough, those 60 minutes of fun will be able to last for the rest of your life
Scott complaining about the nature of Console Exclusive games is actually a clever use of irony, referencing how 3D Dot Game Heroes' entire existence is basically exclusive to him now

The Zelda game by the people that made Dark Souls?
@@blugoo Bitch please, Dark Souls is the King’s Field game by the people that made 3D Dot Game Heroes.
I like how Scott's complaint about marketing was "That money could have gone towards making your own exclusive, or working with a third party company..." instead of saying "that money could have gone towards actually improving your game"
But at least Scott doesn't "butter up" companies like fanboys do. This generation has been a bit meh. Scott calls them on their BS. I just wish more would cover the mess Nintendo created with NSO and the expansion pack. Pay more to play more.
@@deathstrike I’d argue that Xbox has gone above and beyond. They’re basically pioneering the service space (and setting things up in gaming to be way better than Netflix for movies/TV). PS has just been doing what they’ve always done (which never convinced me to enjoy their platform). Nintendo is just being overpriced as usual and flailing as they milk everything for as much as possible. Exclusives are still there, but that $350 switch (they legit saw Microsoft release the series S for $300 and Sony the all digital for $400 and still went ahead with that… and people still praised it and bought it (dammit)) and everything involving their online service is disgusting (why fix it when you can charge more for nothing). Not to mention what they seem to think the pokemon games are worth. The expansion pack especially just reveals how awful exclusives and a complete lack of actual preservation is to consumers.
He has a degree in marketing, that’s what he knows about.

@@vullord666 uhh... the 350 switch is the upmarket model. If you were going to compare the XBOX S to a switch model that would be the Lite at 200.

I hope scott does a video on video game acquisitions now
This is my new favourite Scott the Woz video
The PS3 is where Sony's cinemeatic streak really started. I've tried to find worthwhile games outside of the cinematic, and you can see the other types of games dying. Yes, there's Sly, Puppeteer and Ratchet, but those became outliers.
Infamous also is practically dead. While it had cutscenes, it wasn't anywhere near as cinematic compared to their current stuff. It honestly sucks that they are killing off their other genres (Ratchet and Clank is the exception.)
Hopefully with Microsoft owning Double Fine as well as the release of Battletoads 2018 (great game,) we will get some more original Xbox style games! Fable coming back has me hopeful for a possible revival of Jade Empire, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, or Mechassault.
Hell, Crackdown has so much potential as a game concept. It is basically open world Mario with explosions.
Ratchet and Clank is also not what it used to be Sony is prioritizing graphics and the look of the games instead of witty humour and fun gameplay which is what made the series great originally they’ve gone downhill badly in that regard too imo
@@jonathanwilson7949 rift apart was amazing though.
@@Mr.Foxhat man infamous 2 is my childhood
@@pomgrenade9865 Infamous 1 was pretty bad, but Infamous 2 was phenomenal. Still my favorite Playstation game to this day.
While it's fair to criticize MS for not doing more with Rare it's important to remember that Nintendo had every opportunity to buy the studio and chose not to. This was at a time when Rare was A) in need of a big investment and B) basically the face of Nintendo 64.
That's the thing I find comical. Everyone likes to act like Microsoft did nothing with Rare after buying them, when that just is not true. It wasn't even like they made bad games afterwards. Grabbed By The Ghoulies/ Kameo were pretty solid, and then Viva Pinata was fantastic.
We got a Killer Instinct as well in 2013 (definitely one of the best fighting games of the last generation,) and a solid Battletoads in 2018. With Sea of Thieves and Everwild I feel their ips are definitely going to be used more often.
@@Mr.Foxhat that new battletoads stinks... And I'm big fan of modern rare games.

One thing I love about this channel, you can set your watch by the release of new videos.
Console Dev: "I wanna buy this IP"
Game Dev: "Oh cool! Are you gonna make a new game?!"
Console Dev: "No, so the other guys can't have it"
you must be unfamiliar with capitalism's history in the music and movie industries
That's perfect for Microsoft buying Rare
Lucas Della Maggiore
I mean, the only logical option after buying a company renowned for their platformers, fighters, action-adventures,racing games, and first person shooters is to have them make shitty Kinect games.
@@dial2616 Except movies and music are nowhere near as expensive/complicated to make as a video game, especially in today's market.
So many IP's are left to die or gather dust sometimes, though the most egregious example I can think of is Rare Limited. The only thing they are working on lately is Sea of Thieves. And it's not a bad game but still if Smash Ultimate has shown and various 3D platformers people still care about 3D platformers of the collectathon genre and like to see Banjo & Kazooie. Heck the fact that the duo was the 2nd most voted character on the Smash Ballot should be enough for Microsoft to throw money at Rare, tell them to get to work, and maybe call for help from Playtonic. Though considering Playtonic got bought/absorbed into Tencent that might not be possible.

11:35 Thank you, Scott.
I am no longer the only human being to notice the issue with the PS4 and PS5.
Yeah I've been saying this for years, I haven't bought a Sony console since PS2, all PlayStation games are practically the same to me now and I hate that, I really miss Jak and Sly Cooper.
@@ahmednabil1733 I loved the PS3 but going past Uncharted 3, we ended up getting basically the same game over and over with different textures.
Why buy a PS5 when everything is still coming out on PS4 anyway?
@@MegaManNeo I’d say the first Last of Us was really the root of it. Scott already cited it, but the PS3 did still have many good experimental games like Journey, Tokyo Jungle, Sly 4, Lost in the Rain, Starhawk, Puppeteer, Beyond Two Souls, and some others in 2012-2013. Granted I’m just going by stuff I know was published by Sony.
@@rcmero because (and I’m hoping I’m wrong) the PS4 versions will probably have ass performance, further incentivising people to get a PS5 and respective game upgrades.
As far as I know, GT7, God of War Ragnarok and Horizon 2 haven’t had a frame of their PS4 builds shown.
Great video essay you bring solid points.
13:48 this segment really is aging like fine wine
I'm surprised he didn't talk about how Atlus handled their exclusives, because holy shit why is SMTV a switch exclusive and why are mainline persona games only on playstation but many of their spinoffs on different platforms it makes like no sense at all
SMTV is a timed exclusive.
Because Atlus is run by chimps.
SMT did start on Nintendo so at vary least it's understandable Nintendo would want it as a exclusive
Atlus has always annoyed me because in the 6th console generation they did single-print runs of games. Didn't matter that good word of mouth resulted in a game of their selling out and demand for more copies existed, Atlus didn't want to take the risk of producing surplus copies that never got sold. So a lot of Atlus published games, especially their GameCube exclusives like Cubivore and Go!Go! Hypergrind, from that generation are ridiculously expensive due to their rarity.
He has to save material for other videos.
11:53 "Days Gone was Sony's Ziplash"
just rolls on without missing a beat but this sentence took the wind out of me
Love the archival footage in this video
Ps3/360 era also had "Console" exclusives as in games that came to both Ps3 and 360 but not PC. Dark souls was one such example. Took them a year and and ton of fan feedback to finally release the game on PC. But many games like Majin, First Red dead redemption are playable only on consoles. Althou many games like star ocean Ninja gaiden are now being re released even on PC.
3:30 KNACK IS BACK BABY
When it comes to weird and nonsensical exclusivity, Atlus is probably one of the worst.
Let's start with Persona. Every Persona game is exclusive for PlayStation, except for 4 Golden which came out on Steam eventually. Then you have the Persona Q games, which expects you to have already played Persona 3, 4 and 5 to fully appreciate them because these games are fanservice galore, exclusive for the 3DS. You also have Persona 4 Arena and Persona 5 Strikers, sequels to Persona 4 and 5 respectively, being multi-platform.
And Shin Megami Tensei is just as weird. SMT 1, 2 and if... were all released for the Super Famicon; SMT 1 was also released for the Sega CD and PC Engine and all three games got PS1 remakes, with 1 and 2 also getting GBA ports. Fairly reasonable, makes sense.
Then SMT NINE, that takes place during the events of SMT 1 and the time between SMT 1 and 2, came out exclusively for the og XBOX, a console that didn't have a lot of users in Japan. It sold as well as you'd expect.
Then Nocturne came out and it was PlayStation exclusive and every single SMT released afterwards were all Nintendo exclusives. That is until Nocturne HD came out for PS4, Switch and Steam, finally.
Then a year later SMT 5 was released exclusively for Switch, why? fuck you, that's why.
Kingdom Hearts was just as bad, if not worse before they decided to put every game on every console.
but who asked?
@@moeshad it's a comment, not an answer.
@@ygsr Like I can't believe they put the original Chain of Memories in GBA when KH is a PlayStation exclusive - I guess being the only popular handheld is the reason but it is still very weird.
@@zjzr08 I mean, considering there had only been one game before CoM, I wouldn't say KH as a franchise was ever a "PlayStation exclusive". Still a weird choice though.
Monster hunter is a bit of an oddity, as the series had a habbit for years of doing one console game, then one handheld game. Each kind of focusing on different aspects. Like the console experiences proffered to show off the world and large scale monsters. While the handhelds got really wacky monsters and game play.
There's another level of "exclusive" console games. The Shelved Games. Jet Set Radio Future, Yakuza: Dead Souls and Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core are some good examples.
It’s a good thing fighting games don’t really do exclusive characters anymore since tournaments just outright banned them since not everyone played the same version of a certain game
“The Intellivisons exclusive games consisted of basketball compared to Atari’s basketball”
Intellivision literally had the naming rights to the four major sport leagues. They look the exact same as the plainly titled baseball or football, but the MLB name does spice it up
It's a joke my guy.
Fun fact: MLB has a baseball game that isn't Sony's MLB, it's RBI. MLB has publishing rights on Xbox for Sony's MLB
So glad to see Scott recognize the inFamous games!
You know what this reminds me of. And I'm talking about near the end where scott talks about logos on different Consoles. This reminds me Heavily of when Cartoon network and Nick snuck onto there other rival'd platforms advertising there own stuff on there platforms in secret timeslots of the day. Which felt weird.
Honestly, Rocket League’s approach is pretty good for exclusive content. Sure, it’s just the same car as another one in the game, but it’s less of a reason to buy the game and more of a, “Hey, thanks for buying this version.”
Shovel Knight on Nintendo systems having their exclusive content being amiibo support still irks me though.
That could warrant an entire video in of itself: amiibo paywalls
amiibos are some of the worst crap ever invented by mankind, and that includes the atomic bomb.
@@fernandofaria2872 yea the whole locked content shtick is bad, but DAMMIT ARE THOSE FIGURINES COOL
@@gamingnubs7628 then sell them completely separate from the game :/
Finally, Scott has recognized the existence of Infamous 2. Life is complete.
The only people who complain about exclusives are Xbox and PC gamers. And we all know why.
There was a game in the "Lucky's Tale" series before "Super Lucky's Tale". The reason nobody talks about the OG Lucky's tale is because it was an exclusive for the original Oculus Rift. In fact, I believe the original Lucky's Tale just got ported to the Quest 2 actually. If you have a Quest 2, give it a try.
Looks like he's finally got lighting down.
Now we just need the camera, and then the action.
Scott The Woz on G4, baby.
...and a microphone setup that doesn't distort as soon as he screams.
It’s gonna be reruns
light, camera, action!
"Resident Evil 4"
*Shows Viewtiful Joe*
"Viewtiful Joe"
*Shows Resident Evil 4*
The fact that he didn't make a joke about it makes me wonder if that was actually a mistake that he kept in the video.
For the case for Monster Hunter Rise, it’s more so considered a side entry rather than a new numbered title. Ever since the PSP Capcom has been making Monster Hunter portable side games in between the main releases. These portable games are also targeted more towards the Japanese audience since portable gaming is very popular over there.
6:11 Nah, Bayonetta is obviously Nintendo's fun lesbian aunt.
