Backlog 2: Electric Boogaloo - Game Sack

[@PhilShary]

This Lost in Shadow is an amazingly innovative game that went almost completely unnoticed.

[@ibanez2010]

I hit the like button thirty seconds in. That's the confidence I have in the Sack.

[@TacticalPower88]

ibanez2010 took you 30 seconds too long if you ask me :p

[@cultofdis]

ibanez2010 The order goes 1. Like 2. Play

[@shymickey6]

Erm, what does liking their video have to do with your performance in bed? I'm confused.

[@billschlafly4107]

I should spray some stuff on my trigger finger to make me last longer. I spewed my load when the page loaded.

[@JoeyJ0J0]

Alice madness returns was great and the fact that it includes American Mcgee Alice is even better that game was incredible. I got it for 3 dollars on psn so worth it

[@thepickles8833]

I was very excited about Alice but I was pretty disappointed by the game's level design. Some levels are so short, others are irritatingly long, but I just didn't feel they made a fluent combat system. Maybe my expectations were too high at the time, but I heard Madness Returns made tremendous improvements.

[@Shinobi33]

There's gotta be at least 20 games I've bought, never played, forgot about, and won't see again until I go looking for another game.

[@jasonblalock4429]

I can confirm: When it came out, American McGee's Alice was amazing visually. I remember when I first got to the room at 15:50, I stood there gawking for several minutes at everything going on. Plus, it has what's probably one of the most underrated game soundtracks ever composed (from Chris Vrenna of industrial music production fame).

[@EstaviusMarx]

Jason Blalock Love the soundtrack!

[@RHW369]

I see you guys got the copy of Illbleed i sent you. It goes for like $80 online these days (I bought it before it became a cult classic), but i felt that you guys would appreciate it the most. And yes, this is one of those games were you really should RTFM.

[@GameSack]

It definitely has it's charms after you figure out WTF is going on. I didn't figure out everything at the time we made this video (as you can probably see). I'm surprised I never heard of this back when the Dreamcast was current. Thanks again! :)

[@TheGodshatter]

Game Sack hey guys, yup know that if you want to complete red dead 100% you kill any innocent people at all. if affects your completion rate no matter if you pay your bounty or not.

[@RHW369]

Yeah, it came out in 2001 after the Dreamcast was discontinued and I was only aware of it because I saw a preview in Electronic Gaming Monthly. It really was an under the radar release at the time.

[@youtubed3951]

game looks fun, wouldn't mind seeing it updated/remade...especially if they incorporated VR...would fit w/ that Horror goggles aspect

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Awfully generous of you. I still have this game from when it was new. I was only 16 or 17 and don't remember buying it, so my dad must have. I'd love to sell it since I don't play it or want it.

[@overweightactor]

You guys have really improved over the years. Congratulations.

[@handsomejonni]

I'm been watching so many "Game Sack" episodes this past week and now a new one, hooray! The Sega vs. Nintendo thing you guys have reminds me of me and my brothers as kids and cracks me up. Keep doing what you do!

[@jennabrutananadalewski412]

Really glad to see another one of these episodes. I think they are a good idea. We are game collectors here and sometimes it does feel pretty stupid to pick up all these games and not play them right away. I've got a huge backlog but I know i'll play them all eventually. I'm sort of living vicariously through you guys with these episodes. As always, I love everything ya'll do and i'm always happy to see a new episode. Also, I love Joe's sass, don't ever change man. Love you guys!!

[@Dilios_of_Sparta]

I was eating chicken dinner leftovers when I noticed the new Game Sack upload. I dropped the leftovers to watch. Chicken can't compare to Game Sack.

[@shymickey6]

Guys! Excellent video! I enjoyed watching this! You should do more backlogs from time to time. Thank you much!

[@HeltonAlegra]

You guys are amazing, your humor make me smile everytime! Keep up the good work you guys do!

[@TonyLikeGames2]

The first new episode of 2017. Let's go!

[@llcoolray3000]

This episode was part of my Game Sack backlog. Glad to see you playing RDR. It's my favorite game of all-time.

[@madonanathema]

the only youtube channel that i like their videos before watching the the content , because i know its good stuff :) thanks gamesack

[@helpfulmole]

I really love your console sound design. Nice subtle panning really makes it great!

[@ohmanthatguy2443]

Hell yeah, time to enjoy some time in the sack. Keep it up guys you're doing a great job.

[@alicekingston7873]

Alice Madness Returns is such an underrated game. I love that game so very much, that I actually preordered it when it first came out. EA actually offered the soundtrack for a free download for preorders, but you had to get an EA account . . . I got the soundtrack off Amazon instead.

[@hellmasterx]

Alice is a gem.

[@koopakape]

Y'know a possible cool idea for an episode would be "Games that were supposed to be something else", like how this Outlander game was gonna be a Mad Max game or how Journey to Silius was gonna be a Terminator game. I wonder how many other games like that are out there?

[@PhilShary]

Dave, you actually READ the dilogy of Alice? I am proud of you. No, seriously, I would never expect a young American who grew up in the 80s - 90s to have read the books.

[@tetrisdave]

I did read them and I really enjoyed them. It's funny because I read them on my Nintendo DS. Well I read the first one on my DS as there was a release called "100 Classic Books". I think I just bought "Through the Looking Glass" at the book store after I finished the first.

[@PhilShary]

Game Sack Dave Yeah, I think it's a great book to read later on in life because it's not really a kids book even though it looks like one.

[@PuffyRainbowCloud]

Actually, Lewis Carroll did make up the stories for children while on a boat ride. It does have a lot of humour in it that children wouldn't understand, though.

[@Lfc322]

I was literally sitting at home like Gamesack hasn't uploaded a vid in 2 weeks and here it is

[@JazGalaxy]

I was actually waiting up for this. Thanks guys!

[@fabioalvesshow]

love your channel gamesack

[@shootinputin185]

Would love to see more backlog episodes with more older games like Nes/SNES/Genesis/Master system

[@FFXIK]

The story in Alice: Madness Returns isn't just depressing. Later in the game it goes from dark to WTF. Enjoy.

[@daric_]

Love you guys. You make my Sundays bearable.

[@deathtone1614]

Best gamesack episode so far this year!

[@CaptainShiny5000]

Alice: Madness Returns is actually one of my favourite games, ever. Love the gameplay, the story and the creative visuals. Thanks for covering this one, guys!

[@anthonyjohnson9088]

thx guys for another episode....I love your content...I've said it and I'll say it again...the best channel on KZbin...

[@UziGameGP]

Big fan of Joe and Dave. Keep up the great work!

[@ultimo4luna]

thanks guys for reminding that I have some Wii games that I haven't played. great episode.

[@Grandmastergav86]

ACG, Alphaomegasin, HCG, Game Sack, LGR and MJR easily my fave youtubers. Damn I watch KZbin far too much

[@Falcnuts]

when you're drunk af about to sleep but gamesack uploads

[@ferreday1]

Shane Q when your drunk af ,what!!!

[@Derekxs]

ferreday1 AF = As F*ck.. YW = Your welcome.

[@ferreday1]

Derekxs your nuts !

[@kabukimanindahouse]

*you're

[@Derekxs]

My nuts are just fine.

[@JJKoester]

That Illbleed footage was really fascinating. It was a cold reminder of what a fantastic system the Dreamcast was.

[@iwanttoseemrshow]

Thanks for brining back the old intro music!

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Lost in Shadow was a breath of fresh air! I got it the day it released in 2011, but didn't get to play it until the Summer of 2014. It had an atmosphere similar to the masterpiece ICO. I just wish the game looked good on a modern TV.

[@AxiomofDiscord]

I think the greatest thing the Wiimote brought us was unlocking your character from his aiming. It is like a twinstick shooter you can aim at something you are moving away from, or keep on target while dodging.

[@seanmyster6]

I've mentioned Sin & Punishment: Star Successor elsewhere in the comments, but it's probably the perfect example of what you're talking about here.

[@AxiomofDiscord]

seanmyster6 It is a wonderful one indeed.

[@SpiralPegasus]

HELL YEAH!! Star Successor is the best Wii game there is. Bar *none*.

[@AxiomofDiscord]

I actually enjoyed a good deal of games on my Wii but I don't think it ever did as much for me as the gamecube games I played on it and my gamecube before it. Sadly the PC world has me consumed now. I swore I would never get another console but Soul Calibur 2 with Link and Fzero GX grabbed me in and the Wii being a smaller Gamecube I had to stay. I really want another console to take me down that road again.

[@robertwilson3866]

+Aberran Fox Yes something that would be totally impossible to do with twin analogue sticks...

[@zombie1016]

great video guys, that end tho! Dark AF!!! it had me rollin.

[@jasonhubbard6775]

While watching this, I was playing one of my backlog titles, Shantae: Risky's Revenge on my DSi XL.

[@Chud_Bud_Supreme]

I bought Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower since they were all games that Project Rainfall was trying to get localized years ago. Funny enough, I didn't play much of the first two and my copy of Pandora's Tower is still un-open. I'll get to them...eventually.

[@samghost13]

Dear Game Sacks: I really enjoy your content. Thank you and Thumbs Up "BIG TIME"

[@scottgaines4246]

Love the Alice games! I played the first one when it came out and just played madness returns this month so it’s awesome to finally play it!! Love the show, keep it up!

[@Booth81]

Sin and Punishment: Star Successor is a much better example of what Counterforce was trying to be. The controls feel a little better and there was much more care put into it all around.

[@antthomas1041]

That's a great game.

[@chriswheatley3146]

Definitely a hidden gem

[@RAZ9718]

nothing better than some gamesack when i can't sleep.

[@ShaunRF]

Guys, give Comix Zone on the Genesis a try. Its a very unique and interesting beat em up that doesn't get talked about much.

[@ShaunRF]

@@ramrodbldm9876 Of course they did, you replied to a 7 year old comment 😂

[@bluehar5505]

Alice madness returns is one of those hidden gems you just have to play. I picked up a copy of this game from some bargain bin sale and didn't think too much of it. But once I played it I wondered how such a great game could be so obscure.

[@rufusray]

Why doesn't KZbin up the view count for multiple views?I've watched all your stuff probably 100 times or more!

[@Wyrdwad]

You should play Last Story sometime! It's pretty short for an RPG (15 hours or less, most likely), and a lot of fun. My favorite part of it is knocking over bowls of fruit or throwing banana peels, then watching passers-by slip and fall. I even did this once right before triggering a serious cutscene, and then the whole time the cutscene was playing out, NPCs were slipping and falling and screaming in the background -- it was hilarious!

[@TibrisXVII]

Wyrdwad yeah, i chuckled when he described it as a super long RPG.

[@chriswheatley3146]

My favorite part was the comedic cutscene late in the game. I can't say much more without spoiling it though. :) But yeah, it was definitely pretty short as I had finished it in less than a week; even with a busy schedule.

[@smoketreez666]

Wyrdwad I'm still wanting to play this and Pandora's tower. I was able to get a copy of Xenoblade back in 2012 (hard game to find) and put dozens of hours in to it. it's actually one of my favorite RPGs ever. the Wii had so many good games and was fun to collect for cause most games were cheap. you could have a library of at least 50 good Wii games.

[@robsonpommer7464]

"Ilbleed" is one of my favorite games of all time! I completed the Japanese version and, though my Dreamcast is long dead, someday we'll meet again!

[@DnekarAtkinsonVeriusz]

I haven't played a lot of the games I own. I wish I had the time. Thanks for the videos.

[@chunkycjw]

Never played God of War series till it came out for PSP then went back and played the PS2 originals then re-bought on PS3 (and GOW 3), what a good time. Can't wait for PS4 follow up.

[@sIosha]

Cool video. Definitely looking at Lost in Shadow.

[@driftercarbon]

Alice: Madness Returns is one of my favorite games and one of very few platforming action games I like. Always loved the Alice stories as a child so I played the original as a teen on the mac. Being someone who's dealt with mental health issues of my own and those around me and has been abused by the medical system before, some scenes in this game cut me straight to the core, but I love it's conclusion all the more for it. It truly is damn near criminal that the kickstarter for American McGee's take on the Wizard of Oz failed to reach its goals, because very little would have made me happier than to see how he tackled that story.

[@pandasfromspace]

hey guys I just wanted you to know that i really enjoyed this episode.

[@Shinobi6407]

I'm surprised as well as satisfied that Joe got to play Red Dead Redemption for the first time. Great game!

[@wrenboy2726]

“Up to 12 different enemies” is hysterical lol

[@Armbreakfire]

I played American McGees Alice way back and absolutely loved the game! I heard about the new one but never got around to playing it. I didn't know it came out in the ps3. I'll have to look for a copy.

[@dpc4548]

Yea, I have to play most games and movies with subtitles to understand the american accent. I just wish they had them at the cinema. Thank Joe for subtitles!!

[@DocShok]

American McGee's Cheshire Cat has been my desktop background for years. Awesome game

[@Dorelaxen]

Oh, god Illbleed is one of THE most straight up insane games I've ever played. The guy in LOVE with a giant worm..."Let's go back to hell together!", and the toy Indiana Jones pastiche chasing after a doll with her giant ass pointed right in the camera "SEXY DOLL!". Holy crap.

[@thepickles8833]

Don't spoil it for them. Let them discover it on their own. THAT's the true magic of playing Illbleed.

[@marcospepes4245]

go antifa 💪✊

[@KarlesdiGallo119]

love your videos mates.

[@piqone1]

Really glad you got around to playing American McGee's Alice 1&2. I think you'll the first one has better balance and story but the second one is prettier and controls better. I'd love for you to give an update on these once you beat them and maybe address current status of the movie rumors which been going on forever.

[@DoctorTheSushi]

My backlog is SUPER HUGE. Thanks for reminding me :P. I really need to get to Bravely Default, Assassins Creed Brotherhood, and Bioshock 2, among many, many, others.

[@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide]

you do have good audio insight, thats your best vaule, i like your work, im not fishing for lols, your youtube product is good

[@zendell37]

"There's Joe. I hear he's packing heat. Don't mention that you finished your Sega collection around him..."

[@fierybirdything]

I liked seeing the Alice: Madness Returns footage. I had the first game on PC back in game and enjoyed what I played, despite not getting very far. My Dad ended up buying A:MR for the Xbox360 a few years ago, complete with the download code for the original. While we did play a bit of the original between us (save files are weird for that game when two people want their own files), neither of us have yet played Madness Returns. So, one ramble later, my point is, you've just reminded me of my own backlog and made me want to make a start on Madness Returns.

[@OmegaMaxter]

Alice is one of my favorite PS3 titles. American McGee is a real nice guy, too. That shadow game reminds me of Contrast, a game that i have the OST to on my channel

[@HaakonAnderson]

Okay now I gotta go upstairs and buy Alice, the madness returns on Steam, thanks Dave.

[@CarmenOfSpades]

That Lost in Shadow game actually looks really, really good!!

[@purplegrapes1720]

Hi Joe, bought ILLBLEED after I saw it on ur review. The game is amazing its become one of my frave games, if you havnt beat it yet u have to! The learning curve is very long, and once you learn it, its awesome. I had to beat the game more than once to get the true ending, the $85 I spent for it was well worth it, thanks for making me aware of this gem.

[@B33FY2011]

Dave, Lost in Shadow is exactly like Contrast on PS3/4. If you've never played it and you like Lost in Shadow you'll love Contrast.

[@Sharki33]

Alice Madness return has to be one of the greatest hidden gems game in the industry.

[@Karakta]

Gotta love the zombies trying to low-kick the player to death.

[@MrKeech666]

@15:44 Yes, yes it did! One of the best looking games of it's time.

[@RevLink]

I loved Alice: Madness Returns! I find it to be a highly under-rated game!

[@lifespanofafry1534]

I farted

[@gluserty]

Electric Boogaloo, ha ha; who knew that a sequel to "Breakin' would give us so much after all these years?

[@jaymartinez55]

Joe and Dave are awesome!

[@TheRupeeMine]

When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be about a kickass game about video game collecting.

[@marklinstom5145]

I think the same company that programmed Illbleed also programmed Blue Stinger and you know how the lip syncing was in that game. Sometimes Elliot would talk, but Dog's mouth would move. Sometimes Dogs would talk, but you'd hear Elliot's voice. Sometimes everyone's mouth would be moving and no one was talking.

[@schooltrashers]

I own several games I never got around to playing, both physical and digital. Silent Hill Homecoming, Silent Hill Downpour, Beyond Two Souls are the only physical games I can think of that I have never played that I own. I should probably try, but I need to be in the right frame of mind when it comes to playing video games, right now I am having difficulty in a relationship. As soon as that's resolved, I will get back to playing the games I own.

[@ChrisDoesTV]

Guys how do I use the youtube subtitles? I find this video hard to understand because of the American accent.

[@GameSack]

I have next to no clue about subtitles on KZbin. I know people can submit their own and I can approve them. There are supposedly auto-generated ones as well, but again I have no clue how those work.

[@SpikeSlania]

There's a settings button if you move your cursor to the bottom of the video. There's an option to turn on Subtitles

[@Ramjet164]

Game Sack I think it's safe to assume that this was a reference to the subtitles for the British accent on Alice guys.

[@g40rc378]

I've never tried it, but there is an option for owners to upload a plain text transcript that tries to automatically sync up with the video - support.google.com/youtube/answer/2734796?hl=en&ref_topic=3014331 - unless you want to do full captioning.

[@GameSack]

Ramjet164 LOL I had forgotten about that! It's been a month and a half since I edited this video. Good show Tabby D

[@wailingentity]

Alice madness returns is such a good game, I think maybe the most hours I have ever put into a game just replaying over and over to escape and be in that environment.

[@duckhuntdog]

19:47 i'm from 91', and even i only remember Ang Lee for directing my generations's Hulk movie. so that referrence went right though my head

[@JC-lk3oy]

Totally agree with Game Force Boulder being a great store. I find ways to make it be on my way home from work even though it takes me 20 min out of my way.

[@LukesGamerRoom]

I actually QA tested Alice back in the day for EA. At the time I really enjoyed it with the exception of the alice vision makes it feel like you need to use it all the time which slows the game down. And the water level is really long and annoying. Over all a really fun game though.

[@ghost085]

Its so weird to see you play modern games, guys. Im too used to seeing you play retro games.

[@spacerprime]

I finally got around to playing Archaic Sealed Heat and Jump Ultimate Stars for the Nintendo DS; I've had them for years and just started them about a week ago.

[@EarthboundX]

I was gonna make a joke about how Dave passed up 2 super rare games that got really expensive to buy Lost in Shadow. But then I looked at Amazon, and The Last Story and Xenoblade aren't are pricey as I had expected. They still cost more than Lost in Shadow, but not by a ton surprisingly.

[@ongogablogian3427]

Great episode title!

[@Playongo]

Illbleed is a great game. I'm ashamed to say I still haven't finished it, but once you get your head around the gameplay and get passed the first stage, the game should click for you. I think a lot of the appeal is the weird stages and the delightfully twisted sense of humor the developers brought to the game. It's one of the most unique and entertaining games I've played.

[@retrocollectoruk7632]

I have but not played that Alice game yet, also The Puppeteer is one i bought but not yet tried! I only played Red dead when the sequel was announced, also only played & completed Mass effect 3 recently! Got loads of PS2 games i need to try, wish i cud pause the real world!

[@Atlink]

Alice (the first one) was a fantastic game for the PC (with an AMAZING soundtrack to boot!) although it did get a little long in the tooth toward the end. It was still pretty damn good, and I recommend playing through it whenever you get the chance. While Madness Returns was also very good, I felt that the soundtrack wasn't nearly as good as the original, and the gameplay got old a LOT faster. Again, it's not a bad game, but it does get quite mindless after a while, and boredom can set in. The one definite positive I can give it is the fact that the game looks amazing in terms of art direction. It's a little buggy here and there, but it still makes quite a nice screen shot game.

[@ssjzero64]

For your next system focused episode, I suggest doing one on the Wii. It just had it's 10th anniversary, and there are some damn fine games on it.

[@tartrazine5]

25:19 It's fun to look back on these skits as predicting Dave leaving.

[@christophermiller3031]

Happy new year's fellas! Don't get me started on MY backlog. Atleast my backlog is physical and not a digital so it doesn't have an expiry... or do they? lolzz just wanted to say that you gentleman have become a pleasant regular viewing. I also really do appreciate the longer episodes... but that's mainly cuz I watch alot of KZbin :P GL with trump

[@moviemetalhead]

bigevilworldwide1 No we need a 71 year old president. /sarcasm

[@SonnyFern]

Outlander might not be good now, but holy hell playing it when it first came out was amazing!

[@bkrules1234]

It's always sunny reference in the title? Nice!

[@ponocni1]

Both alices are great, well made games.

[@Daemonscharm]

I'd love to see some in depth coverage of Loaded. I feel like you guys have talked about it. I have the Japanese version - Blood Factory. I also didn't know Re-Loaded existed
