Someone needs to get back off the mic a little. Can here them swallowing and stuff while other people are talking. Weird sounds.

They used to play videos but not anymore? Otherwise it’s still good and I listen to them.

With the current state of IGN it’s not really worth listening to. I used to really enjoy this podcast but now there are so many better gaming podcasts out there. Do yourself a favor and skip this podcast

Well I’ve listened to a couple episodes and I like it so far, so uh unless I don’t like the show from now on sure I’ll give it 5 stars 👍

Your not the only gaming podcast, look up Finish the Fight podcast but this gives me the best gaming news

I’m grateful to all the people who participate and contribute to the show. But I want to give a specific thank you to Sam, Tina, Justin and Daemon. I know Tina has gone on to do other things. But I regularly listen to old episodes where the gang is all there. You four together, chatting and joking really make my day. I honestly don’t care what you guys talk about. It’s just so much fun and so cozy listening to you guys hang out and talk games, movies, hobbies, music, pinball, gaming memories, etc etc. I love when you dig through old gaming mags. I love REALL mature video games. I love the music transitions. Listener questions. Justin’s “hey listeners” and unique perspectives and his on air reactions to certain news or antics of the group, Sam’s jokes and tangents, Tina’s warm personality and insight into a lot of behind the scenes, and daemon’s jokes and one liners and just all the other indefinable qualities that make this show what it is. I just really want to thank you. You are four of my favorite people on the planet. Love the show. Hope you all are blessed as much as you have blessed all of us.

As a long time listener I just removed the from my subscribe list. 2 minutes of ads in the beginning and then 4 minutes of ads in the middle. Recently this podcast has just turned into an awful experience the amount of ads. The content is good, but not worth the headache. This is the same reason I would never in 1 billion years use IGN without ad blocker. Completely unusable.

Multiple Spider-Man spoilers in the latest episode. Unforgiveable in the first week of a game’s release. Unsubscribed.

This podcast suffers from the mindset of “well, anybody that is listening to a video game podcast must have spent their entire week on social media studying for the primer for the week’s episode.” Some folks come to these news recap shows so they don’t HAVE to live on twitter. Please don’t assume all already know everything up-to-date with the week before we sit down to listen. That’s what you’re here for. Also, the host finishes almost every sentence with “, right?” Searching for affirmation.

I genuinely love their 20 questions segment and find they tend to deliver good info. However, the hosts seem to have a clear bias towards Japanese games and old Nintendo type games. It has gotten a lot worse since Tina left. I also find it confusing that they will advertise a game but then take the time to trash talk that same game several times in the same show (Starfield was their latest target of this)

Mark Medina is flamboyantly obnoxious, but other than that this podcast is absolutely a 7/10.

Love the show, truly the only video game podcast. Love the crew and all do a great job. However, there is one issue that makes the show difficult to listen to at time. I love Sam, his input and his opinions he brings to the show. I also love the input everyone else brings. The problem is Sam has a tendency to constantly interrupt the other folks on the show and take over the conversations. There were many instances during the latest episode where Mark or another guest would try to add to the conversation only to be railroaded by Sam. Again, love the guy but maybe someone could have a pep talk with him about stepping up and adding to the conversation then stepping back to let others talk. Keep up th great work!

The last 10 minutes of the podcast is pretty consistently badly edited and jumps around all over the place. This also happens interspersed throughout. Fix your editing/procuring or get someone else to do it.

Mostly enjoy the show. Sam is the only holdup for me- he just comes off as such a pompous hater sometimes that it gets me irrationally mad and not want to listen anymore. And he never shuts up. Everybody else- A+

This show is mainly them talking about Nintendo for 90% of the time, and Tears of the kingdom for every episode since the games release. THERE ARE OTHER GAMES OUT THERE!!!!

Sad to see this podcast ran by fanboys ep.729

Good source of news but I find myself skipping past Nintendo News. Vast majority of guests are massive Nintendo fanboys. The words “let’s wait until we get our hands on it” is usually tossed aside when it’s about Zelda or other Nintendo stalwarts.

I love 20 questions and hearing about some smaller indie games that Damien and the team talks about, but the sound/production quality is just terrible at times. It feels like they don’t care!

Keep it up! Love the podcast.

It makes it feel even grosser that you just had a campaign where you tell listeners that you can choose advertisements that are relevant to listeners and then start running adds for the military industrial complex

I’ve historically not been a fan of ign due to a pervasive sense of sponsor bias, but I must say this podcast has made me mentally walk back most of those sentiments. I due tend to lean towards more amateur podcasts where it’s hobbyists rather than professionals but can’t help respect the level of polish and production that goes into scoop and love love love the video game(especially)/80’s music themed endings to the show that run for several minutes. This is one of the few gaming podcasts that hits home with my particular age demographic (same age as Daemon) whether it’s the retro music between segments or the 80’s pop culture references the nostalgia is awesome. Also the hosts are very well spoken and have amazing vocabularies without ever sounding condescending. Thanks for getting me through work 7 days a week at two jobs. A winner is you!

I really wanted to hear what they had to say about Hogwarts Legacy. Won’t do it for political reasons. I’m out.

I love this podcast and listen weekly. The team gives thoughtful information about games and I have discovered many that I wouldn’t have without this show. I love the entire team but Sam is a funny dude!

Love the show and look forward to a new episode every week. Makes half my commute so much better at least one day a week.

I think the should count how many times they use the word like when they talk.

This has been one of my favorite shows for a few years now. Unfortunately their new community manager is a man who pretends to be a woman and everybody just acts like this is healthy behavior. Appropriating womanhood is not something that just happens. This is a mental illness and it’s weird that IGN is propping it up like it’s a positive thing. Your COMMUNITY MANAGER? What an echo chamber.

Show would be better w just the three dudes. Todays episode did not make me happy

I subscribe to several video game podcasts but this one is my favorite. I really like the video game 20 questions at the end. Keep up the great work.

I loved this show but I can’t do it with the ads. It’s awful. It ruins the flow and disrupts my morning commute and leaves me in a bad mood when I get to work. I looked to see if there was a subscription but there doesn’t appear to be.

Love the show. But they’ve just introduced new ads, including some really unsettling ASMR stuff. If it continues I might very well stop listening. Really horrifying stuff.

The show was better when Tina was on. It would’ve been fine but Justin is still there so I won’t be listening. This 1 star is for still having Justin on the show.

Really love this podcast, all content is interesting and fun and the main cast/guests are all interesting to listen to and get along great. They’re also extremely gracious when sharing the microphone, not very common on podcasts. Game scoop is not just the best video game podcast, but the ONLY video game podcast. Will continue to listen to until forever and ever amen.

I love you podcast so so much it is the best podcast ever.

The lengths they go to bash Xbox and praise Playststion any chance they get is getting old. If you want unbiased gaming news this is not the place to go.

😑😑😑

I’ve been listening to Game Scoop religiously for 12+ years - through mundane jobs and endless road trips. From Knockin Boots to Omega Cops. I’ve seen the great cast change constantly throughout the years and have loved my time with it. Lately though, Game Scoop has turned into my least favorite iteration of itself. It seems like more Jan half of the podcast is spent flipping through old video game magazines and playing 20 questions. A perfect example of this is the latest episode 674, on May 6. The first 15 minutes of the almost hour long episode is spent going through the latest news. While the last 45 minutes is spent flipping through a magazine and playing 20 questions. The show seems to have mostly turn into filler to reach the hour long length. Hoping to once again look forward to this great video game podcast once the format gets re-worked. SCOOP

Game Scoop, the only video gaming podcast, is a highlight of my week. I’ve been visiting IGN since back when it was N64.com. Game Scoop is the best of all the IGN podcasts in no small part to Daemon. The discussions are fun and thoughtful and cover a range of topics in video games. Video Game 20 Questions is a fun way to end the episodes. Please to enjoy Game Scoop.

Daemon is superb, hilarious features. A+

I’ve been Scoopin’ in the Goosecamp with the Omega Cops for many a year now and I’m thrilled to say that the only video game podcast is still the best video game podcast. I was released before January 1st, 1990 (80’s kid!) and my character does, in fact, wear a hat! Thank you Daemon, thank you Tina, thank you Sam, thank you Justin! This was a review of IGN GameScoop and I’m out.

This podcast is very good I have tried to list3n to podcasts but I got board and stopped so off of nentendo power podcast on the switch I enjoyed it so I got on the podcasts app and searched for game podcasts and I love it!!!!

Hands down my favorite podcast

There’s a new video game podcast on the market. The Homeboy88 podcast. We already defeated DLC and now we’re coming after you guys with a parody song next. Check out our The Video Game Connection series on The Homeboy88 podcast.

A+

Used to love this show until they complained about how hard Elden Ring is for an hour. IGN has really gone downhill.

I feel like you guys don’t have the most diverse team! It really showed in the elden ring episode. I really hope none of you reviewed the game for ign as it was very biased.

Listened to the most recent episode and discussion about Elden Ring. Nobody on this show had any understanding of why this game resonates with the gaming world right now. Samuel Claiborn in particular just sounds lost, he should stick with simple things he can understand, like pinball machines.

Love the scoop crew, feels like hanging with four pals talking games each week. Makes for a smooth day knowing a new ep of Sooop is coming lol. You Guys/Gals are the best and I appreciate you. Hope nothing but good health and positive vibes for you and your wonderful families. PS. GTA iv. Is the Best GTA ever made. Def Jam vendetta needs a remaster on switch. Put NFL BLITZ back on switch too, Daemons MUSIC is dope. Tina you’re the true legend!!!!! Sam Is prob my least fav but in a good way he’s prob the one id like argue the most haha and that’s cool because his thoughts and opinions are usually spot on haha Justin haha you are actually right NCAA did have roster files you would just download and get the names of the actual players, college athletes used to not get paid for there likeness so us as consumer had to download to get our fav guys

great gaming discussion podcast, but I am sorry, I understand music is subjective but the music at the end of the podcast is just not for me. I am glad he has talent and wants to share his craft, but it feels odd to force it at the end of this gaming podcast.

Looking for discussion about literally EVERYTHING gaming (Nintendo, Sony, XBox, retro games, pinball, arcade machines, old gaming magazines, etc etc etc)? Then look no further! This is THE podcast for you! Great hosts and great topics every week. I always look forward to listening.

Nicely job!
