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.
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
@@joshshrum2764 I feel like it's gonna be like the WiiWare Chronicles and the Dark age of Nintendo where they take place after each other, but the video releases are spread 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."
it’s almost as if he has unlimited money from youtube and doesn’t have to constantly work himself to the bone everyday and can actually live a good life, making a video whenever he wants now… oh wait
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.
honestly toledo (and pretty much the rest of ohio with it) isn’t a great area, but the idea of being scott’s neighbor makes it like 63% more attractive
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.
eh. you can say that about a lot of games. i saw fallout 4 for a dollar at a used game store, and that's an ~80 hour rpg, not counting replays for alternate endings and the pip-boy minigames.
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.
I know your comment is a month old, but this video is mostly jokes and memes. If you want actual advice on how to game on a budget, I posted a comment here but I’d also suggest you look for other resources elsewhere
emulating games are a god send, playing classic games you like for free is great and if you want to play ROMs or anything of the sort hacking and loading with emulators are very simple!
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.
@@lolmasterwastaken2 yeah that's fine, I just thought I'd add context so folks don't get the wrong idea :) nothing wrong with not being an RPG, or MMORPG, guy.
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.
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…
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
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.

@@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.

As a recently married college student, I have little to no video game money, Lego games are my bread and butter. It's like $5-15 and you can spend 100+ hours getting 100% completion in most of them.

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! :)
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".
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.
Even tho Scott is in this weird universe where he doesn't have a UA-cam channel and just talks to himself, he's still reached the point every UA-camr reaches where he shits all over his old videos.
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
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.
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.
This feels like a combination of several previous videos while still being its own thing. I really appreciated the call-backs without getting distracted with references.
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
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
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.
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.
At my library you can pretty much rent any game that had come out since the ds, ps3,wii,360 generation and they have consistently bought new games that just came out like persona 3 reload, rise of ronin and princess peach showtime.
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.
it's been about probably over a year since i watched a scott the woz video that wasn't from like 2018, and i am so happy i did. his videos are like comfort food in the fact that besides the first year, he never really changed in his presentation or writing. it's genuinely so nice
Scott has the sort of videos where I can grab a bog of popcorn, sit down and pull it up on the TV, and get cozy like I'm watching a movie. His vids are like the games at the end of this video, not just long for the sake of length, but genuinely packed with high effort and care which make it incredibly entertaining.
@@finkrt 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
SCOTT, THANK YOU FOR PORTRAYING GREAT TASTE AND PROMOTING PUYOTET2! That game is one of my all time favorites and one of my favorites in the Puyo Puyo series to boot! Best story mode in the franchise, DO NOT @ ME. Everyone should try it.
agreed scott being a puyo fan was the biggest shock and also the best ive seen im a while, so happy he carries the "see someone big likes this franchise" mantle
Normally I don’t leave comments unless I’m trying to be funny or something but this video was exceptionally entertaining, basically every joke in the hour landed. Honestly worth the wait
This new gaming on a budget is definitely a good time for me to bring up a neat recent story, last year when I went to Retropolooza ( a gaming con I attended every year since 2015) I didn’t have the big spending budget that I would usually have for the con, so what I did was scope out vendors that had bargain bins, and I gotta admit they certainly help me expand my pick ups that year, as managed to snag titles like dead or alive 5, motor storm, Sphinx and the curse mummy, and the evil within for dirt cheap, so it goes to show game collecting doesn’t have to be difficult, just as long as you’re looking in the right places.
My budget as of late has been at an all time low, and I've really been needing ways to save money while still gaming. This video came at a perfect time, thank you Scott!
I listened to this while writing an essay that I submitted four minutes before the due date. Thank you for uploading. This was necessary to my success.
I just wana say I love that scott never forces a Sponsorship, ad read, or even asking for interactions. He is a pure and real entertainer unlike 90% of this modern era of content creators
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.

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 🙌🏻
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 😁
so happy scott was able to negotiate his ability to keep every version of Madden 08 he has
I love how Scott is able to make genuinely informational gaming content while still making it entertaining.
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
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
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!!
Being a local of Toledo, and visiting some of these game shops regularly, watching Scott walk into the lingerie store next to Replay is hilarious
I was worried I was the only one who got that joke. I think Cirilla's is regional so not everyone understands the genius.
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!
I bet his printer was out of color and he only had a black marker so he went with it.
Even tho Scott is in this weird universe where he doesn't have a UA-cam channel and just talks to himself, he's still reached the point every UA-camr reaches where he shits all over his old videos.
No that's the April fools joke you are the stupid one?
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
20:03 I need any one who watches this video to know Cirilla is a adult toy shop which makes his decisions 10 times funnier 😅😅😅
Scott is now "The Guy Who *USED* To Own Sonic Jam"! I will ensure he is remembered for this after his passing
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
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.
“Just download whatever looks cool to you” Words to live by.
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
This has gotta be my favorite Tubi advertisement yet, Scott!
This feels like a combination of several previous videos while still being its own thing. I really appreciated the call-backs without getting distracted with references.
scott, buddy, you forgot to mention that the valve complete pack becomes dirt cheap every single seasonal sale.
"Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Edition"
Maximilian Dood just started bleeding from his eyes and nobody knows why.
3:10 Holy shit, I didn't expect Scott to be pulling fuckin aerial goals in Rocket League lmao
Scott the woz balling?!?!?!
@@Jimjamuel 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
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 including persona 3 anywhere in any video feels like a fever dream
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
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
Driving around town to every yard sale and used game store on a Saturday morning is my preferred form of gambling
Happy to see Cave Story finally being talked about and given the praise it deserves by online gaming content creators like Scott :)
“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
thank you scott for telling people to just emulate
Incredible video from that guy who used to own Sonic Jam and has not confirmed whether he currently does.
19:44 - perfect camera placement, very slick scott
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!
The Mii maker is already available on Switch though. Unless it has more features?
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
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
Another classic. I don’t even play games anymore and I still cherish these videos
I love i how Scott comes out of nowhere and comes back with a video to support us on a sunday...
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
At my library you can pretty much rent any game that had come out since the ds, ps3,wii,360 generation and they have consistently bought new games that just came out like persona 3 reload, rise of ronin and princess peach showtime.
😊
L😊
My 😊😊😊😊
I love how the episode on budget gaming features Scott flexing on us by buying multiple budget gaming consoles and game collections
31:50 this is peak youtube comedy😂 the way his eyes are slightly fish bowled cuz of the camera is hilarious 😂
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
it's been about probably over a year since i watched a scott the woz video that wasn't from like 2018, and i am so happy i did. his videos are like comfort food in the fact that besides the first year, he never really changed in his presentation or writing. it's genuinely so nice
16:14 That's still faster than getting a physical copy because you have to download the entire game onto the console either way
You mean download an update? Or is the game too large for the disc?
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!!
Scott has the sort of videos where I can grab a bog of popcorn, sit down and pull it up on the TV, and get cozy like I'm watching a movie. His vids are like the games at the end of this video, not just long for the sake of length, but genuinely packed with high effort and care which make it incredibly entertaining.
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
@@finkrt 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 😎🤓
15:08 Scott never fails to make the realism of situations funny.
*I WAS EXPECTING A 20 MINUTE EPISODE, NOT AN ALMOST HOUR LONG EXPERIENCE! HOLY MOLY, SCOTT!*
SCOTT, THANK YOU FOR PORTRAYING GREAT TASTE AND PROMOTING PUYOTET2!
That game is one of my all time favorites and one of my favorites in the Puyo Puyo series to boot! Best story mode in the franchise, DO NOT @ ME. Everyone should try it.
agreed scott being a puyo fan was the biggest shock and also the best ive seen im a while, so happy he carries the "see someone big likes this franchise" mantle
I’ve been playing my childhood games lately and it’s been amazing. It made gaming fun for me again.
Bro I don’t know if there’s another place on UA-cam where you can find this “Disney-to-Deplorable” mishmash style of humor I love it lol
Normally I don’t leave comments unless I’m trying to be funny or something but this video was exceptionally entertaining, basically every joke in the hour landed. Honestly worth the wait
Same!! Love it!
I’ve literally just been playing and buying used games for my 360, it’s just so charming in a way I can’t explain.
I had a 360 too and I'd just go to Wal-Mart and get goty edition games for 20 a piece
This new gaming on a budget is definitely a good time for me to bring up a neat recent story, last year when I went to Retropolooza ( a gaming con I attended every year since 2015) I didn’t have the big spending budget that I would usually have for the con, so what I did was scope out vendors that had bargain bins, and I gotta admit they certainly help me expand my pick ups that year, as managed to snag titles like dead or alive 5, motor storm, Sphinx and the curse mummy, and the evil within for dirt cheap, so it goes to show game collecting doesn’t have to be difficult, just as long as you’re looking in the right places.
That “fuck, man” at 10:48 was FELT lol
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.
@@romancatholicgameingThey added to the joke by emphasizing what was funny about it in a new and creative way
Did anyone notice the joke? Here is the joke explained to you
My budget as of late has been at an all time low, and I've really been needing ways to save money while still gaming. This video came at a perfect time, thank you Scott!
i could’ve sworn he uploaded a video called “Budget Gaming - Scott The Woz” on Sunday, March 31, 2024 at 7:00 PM CST
The real way to game on a "budget": 🏴☠
I listened to this while writing an essay that I submitted four minutes before the due date. Thank you for uploading. This was necessary to my success.
I just wana say I love that scott never forces a Sponsorship, ad read, or even asking for interactions. He is a pure and real entertainer unlike 90% of this modern era of content creators
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.
Pretty impressive how this video was an hour long but didnt feel very fillery at all, and the pacing keeps up. Loved it
Why would you need filler in a video longer than 10 minutes
Scotts continuity for reviews is astounding
It's like he's still with us. Fly high "Scett". 🕊️ 🕊️ ❤️
jschlort is downnp the hall to the left
@@rattfish who is this "shart" you speak of?
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.
I watch everyone one of your videos without thinking about it and it never fails, lord scott thanks be to you

- [ ] 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?
The monster hunter demos were something I spent several hours on, the list of builds to play were amazing even if it only had like 3 monsters
Sneaking a 'Madden 08' joke 50 minutes into this video is like, the most Easter Egg reward for long time followers. Fantastic.
49:03
"RPGs-"
"WHERE?!"
That made me cackle; thank you, Scott.
The ultimate budget gaming experience is just playing it in my mind
Skate 3 demo was insanely replayable. Even let u matchmake online against other ppl
