Really any Bethesda or Obsidian game. At least some of the titles in this episode have the excuse of coming from smaller developers. Fallout New Vegas? Not so much.
About the 1%: Some outlaw motorcycle clubs can be distinguished by a "1%" patch worn on the colors. This is said to refer to a comment by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens, implying the last one percent were outlaws.[25]
If you're not watching with subtitles on, you're missing out on quite a few hilarious hidden bits, mostly regarding the "pathetic music" of these games. I appreciate the extra mile you go to deliver the goods, sir!
@RP Yeah, I had been watching GameSack for quite a while before I saw a comment telling people there was a little bit of extra comedy going on in the subtitles and wound up rewatching older videos with the subs turned on
Excellent Total Recall reference with the Slaughter Sport intro! Wasn't sure if I was going to stick around after Dave left, but the Sack is just as good as ever. Keep it up, Joe!
Slaughter Sport was actually released by Activision in Japan, as FATMAN. I imported this back in 1990,for my Genesis. I paid $80, and while I found it tough at first I stuck with it. Unlocking new characters via inputted button presses was a really neat idea. Once you started unlocking some of the other characters it became much more fun. You can actually beat the game as Rex if you practice a bit. I have to admit this is one of my favorite games on the Mega Drive/Genesis, and I am 100% serious. The thing that makes it fun is to play Mondu vs Mondu as a 2 player Vs. game. It became a classic between my friends and I. So much so that we've gotten together to play it for nearly 25 years straight. We've dubbed this "The FATMAN Tournament". The game has a hard time dealing with how 2 Mondu's react with one another. Since he can score a one hit kill if he lands on you, a match will sometimes end in less than a second with the right starter move! Combine this with slow motion, freeze, oil slick and other power-ups and hilarity ensues. Sometimes the other player will fumble with inputting the character code (must be playing the Mega Drive FATMAN version) before the fight and will be forced to fight Mondu with Rex... But..if they beat Mondu with Rex this beings shame upon the player with and they must pay the other player $5. Those are the rules. Go ahead and create your own FATMAN Tournament with your friends. It's a good time I promise.
Superman 64 was so bad I took it back the next day for trade in on something else!I think Superman Shadow of Apokolips was alot better than the Superman 64.I think the best Superman I've played was in the arcades?
@CAPCOM784 No idea.. I never bothered to play the N64 Superman. The one from Sunsoft on the Genesis/Mega Drive didn't look too bad. It seemed to be very similar to their Batman game. (Many of the same sound fx, HUD graphics, etc..).
@ColonelSandwich Yes! Give it a try sometime and please report back. I always try and spread the word on this when someone hates on I it. And to assure you that I don't just love crappy games, my 10 other favorites on the Genesis are: Revenge of Shinobi, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, Thunder Force III, Aladdin, Phantasy Star II, Marble Madness (MD import), Castle of Illusion, and Gleylancer. :)
The worst part is that the first one or two barrels you can get through by jumping at the right moment to give the barrel momentum. So you think that's the way the mechanic works, until the third barrel where that trick doesn't work anymore and you get completely stuck. Carnival Night Zone was the first Sonic stage ever where I died because of the 10-minute time limit.
It's really weird for me how some people have problems with that. When you jump over the barrels they start swinging up and down, it feels kinda obvious that you should use up and down to match the momentum just like any other game where you are swinging on a rope and must use left/right to go higher. I was 10 years old when Sonic 3 came out and had zero issues with that, I only realized that people had problems with that on RU-vid comments.
I I acutally learned how to get past that after 10ish years of me just going up and down just so I could spin dash underneath it. From an animated comedy skit that explained how it worked.
I'm not gonna lie, even forgetting that barrel, Sonic 3 was pretty unfinished with numerous bugs in the game. Including one particular nasty one Sega even handwaved in the manual.
@@Gladson it doesn't make amy sense, since up and down ate never used that way in the games, and there isn't even feedback given to the player, if Sonic at least crouched. It makes no visual sense that Sonic's influencing the barrel, cause we never see him do anything.
Night Trap on the Vita apparently soft locks at end game so you can never finish it. Also I've read if you pause the game, like at all, the traps in the living room cease to function.
There's an art to choosing bad games. It's no fun to just pick out the literal WORST games because there are bad programmers everywhere. There has to be a certain aspirational quality to them and a level of proficiency combined with "what were they thinking?" design choices. I think Drake of the 99 Dragon is a good pick. I feel like Big Rigs is just a half coded game though. The best "Worst Games", in my opinion, need to have big budgets and big teams.
I wish Joe would go back to uploading once a week. Sometimes the 2 week wait just feels so damn long and I've already binge watched every episode at least twice...
I was on a waiting list to rent superman 64 from my local blockbuster. I thought if theres a wait it must be amazing. And then I was chosen to rent it. I think it made my teenage years as bitter as they were.
My favorite Game Sack meme strikes again! "Did you just say tits?" Also, I remember seeing pictures of Slaughter Sport in magazines way back in the day and wondering about it, so thanks for covering it. I forgot that game existed until now.
Yep. I remember this game looked like the messiah for me. Fortunately, I never could procure it. Destiny wanted me to dodge that bullet. I would have been so sad
@@niXity9000 I remember going to toys r us many years ago and they had an entire basket filled with copys of rise of the robots for super nintendo, going for about 4.99 each, the discounted games always sucked back then
It was also much hyped because it would have a soundtrack by Brian May from Queen. As a huge Queen fan at the time, that meant I had to have the game. Turns out only the title screen music was actually by Brian May, and the rest was just generic bleep-bloops made by an in-house composer. That whole game was one massive pile of disappointments and broken promises.
I played a lot of "Tongue of the Fatman" on the PC. It was tough but fine. But our standards for fighting games on the PC in the pre SFII era was pretty low. I suspect the Genesis controls are far worse than the PC.
PC gamers' standards for anything was low until you get to the late 90s. The oldest PC game I played that was any good was Age of Empires, everything older was unresponsive and choppy at best.
Swing low, sweet chariot Coming for to carry me home, Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home. I looked over Jore, and what did I see Coming for to carry me home? A band of angels coming after me, Coming for to carry me home.
Seriously though Superman legit brings me pain the last time I played a got an anger headache and whenever I watch one of these videos about the game that headache comes back. AVGN's recent video about it almost put in my grave.
Maybe it is but no one expected superman to be good or even herd of it sonic is a big name in gaming and by big developer so the disappointment really brings it down lots
Michael Switzer Actually you be wrong about no one expected Superman64 to be good if you knew the story of how it turn out to be the way it did at the end.
Maruko Chan 99, well Sonic 06 may have been the trainwreck of the Sonic the Hedgehog series but unlike Superman 64 there somewhat descent stuff about Sonic 06
@@GameSack move fast cause your wife has no patients for your videos or antics contained therein? "Fine, I'll push the boxes but make it quick I got actual adult stuff to do." Lol
I bought this game called Happy Words on Switch. It was basically scrabble but it was so broken that I couldn't even play the game. The controls didn't work and the game froze while I was trying to play it. I bought in on the EShop through Paypal so I requested a refund and got one.
It would be desperately depressingly hilarious if you piece together footage from old episodes of Dave to act as your co-host. As if this was some doctored 90s Soviet propaganda film
Great work, I remember as a kid, drooling over the graphics in EGM, seeing games like Rise of the Robots or other games for the high end systems we could not afford, as always I am glad we were not able to waste money on it.
"Omg, SUPERMAN! Fly through those rings and then go save those people! Please, Superman...Hurry!" Oh, and you gotta love seeing, Superman, having death battle with weather..lol
I'm sorry Joe, but the best part of Rise of the Robots is actually the robot on the game over screen smoking a cigar while going "AAAAYYYYYYY YOU BLEW IT" wordlessly because the game only has like two sound effects
The term “1% Motorcycle Club” is commonly used to describe outlaw motorcycle clubs such as the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, the Bandidos Motorcycle Club, Pagans Motorcycle Club or the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, as the other 99% of motorcycle riders are law-abiding citizens.
