Scary Games! - Game Sack

[@GameSack]

What is a game that totally scares you so much that you have nightmares for years after you play it? Or just kinda-sorta creepy games that you like?

[@PlasmaProd]

Eternal Darkness and Amnesia.

[@moonbilal707]

You forgot to mention Clock Tower series.

[@ararattempest-lingua]

Earthbound on SNES... the last chapter of the game is really creepy and kinda psychological horror lol

[@marakarthegreat]

Lone survivor gave me sleep paralysis when I was 14

[@one7decimal2eight]

F.E.A.R. it also has some of the best enemy ai I have ever played against.

[@TheRosswise]

Fun fact: despite the house in RE7 being in Louisiana and having lots of basements, most houses in Louisiana have no basements. The water table is too high.

[@DuckAlertBeats]

This makes sense. Stupid Capcom

[@Miumiu0404]

Most houses so then there are very few houses that do. But yes, it would be not practical to have a basement in that area.

[@TheRosswise]

@@Miumiu0404 Maybe some of the houses near the Arkansas border where it starts to get hilly have basements. Going by the footage at the beginning of RE7, it takes place in the wetlands south of Interstate 10. In that case, you could probably hit the water table digging with a shovel. No basements there.

[@kcadventures1454]

Hahaha facts!

[@StormsparkPegasus]

The house was based on a real plantation house...but yeah the one they scanned wasn't near the bayou.

[@The_RadicalOne]

To be honest the first silent hill still bothers me to this day. I’ve beaten the game multiple times over the years but it’s hard to go back and play it because it just gives me that unnerved feeling 😑

[@GameSack]

The first 2 Silent Hills are fantastic!

[@zombiejlt1]

@@GameSack Silent Hill 2 is the best hands down in my opinion. Grest storyline, music, atmosphere, and of course Pyramidhead!

[@cody8804]

Radical Reggie Silent Hill was for sure the most scared a game ever made me with resident evil coming close. I was around 11 or 12 and I would play silent hill alone in the middle of the night. That radio static would start and I would DREAD continuing on but I had to

[@Chicomite]

I just commented Silent Hill and I swear I didn't read your comment, it was just the 1st game to come to mind.

[@FinalBaton]

Silent Hill is so great at the psychological horror aspect. It really is a disturbing experience. Great pick Reggie

[@Balsrus]

Nothing is scarier than waking up to Dave staring at you from the foot of your bed.

Did someone just say?.......

[@The_RadicalOne]

I love episodes like these. Great job.

[@clinteye596]

F.E.A.R games, doom 3, and Dennis the menace. When mr. Wilson randomly showed up on screen and started chasing you. Always scared the heck out of me.

[@stevoJag]

I really respect how guys enjoy retro and modern games and aren't the type of "gamers" who have the "modern games aren't good anymore" attitude.

[@OldSchoolGamer503]

Just want to say thank you guys for everything you guys do I love it every episode is like a rush of nostalgia im 41 and these videos take me back and make me feel like a kid again so I want to say thank you guys and now my little boy gets to play and watch a lot of the games I grew up playing and loving

[@OldSchoolGamer503]

@Lucas Lucas do you not know the term and the definition of nostalgia stupid fuck

[@Dorelaxen]

@Lucas Lucas Does your abortion scar throb all the time or only when near a wire coat hanger?

[@ordinance0]

I think playing RE7 in VR was way more creepy!

[@GameSack]

Yeah when they shove stuff in your face it's cool.

[@samhillier9607]

ordinance0 I agree with you 100%. Way more immersive and creepy in VR. In regular mode it is a very good game, but the VR mode made it an experience I’ll never forget.

[@ordinance0]

@@samhillier9607 I actually got the RE7 candles they sold when the game came out. When you burned it, it had a musty old house smell to it. Having that smell while playing in VR just immersed you into the environment that much more.

[@shawnwax9576]

Agreed. Playing the first time in vr made it a masterpiece experience I'll never forget. And still have dreams about.

[@cesarvargas3994]

I could watch you guys talk about scary games for hours. Great video Game Sackers!

[@TrueSolunar]

The 3DS game, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, is an EXCELLENT spinoff in the Fatal Frame series...

[@inteyes]

One of the few shows that becomes better and better with every new episode. Keep it up guys, and thanks for your hard work!

[@n0isyturtle]

One of the most intensely scary and memorable gaming experiences I ever had was that time in college I played through Amnesia The Dark Decent on mushrooms. Lights out, headphones on, completely naked and sweating bullets on 4grams. A good night.

[@jonbourgoin182]

noisyturtle man that sounds risky as hell, you’re lucky you didnt have a bad trip lol

[@det.bullock4461]

I tried the demo of Amnesia once. My reaction has been: NOPE, FUCK THIS I'M OUT! Since then I somehow got both games on Steam and GOG because of some giveaways but I haven't dared touch them.

[@davidabest7195]

@@det.bullock4461 - they're pretty boring games you aren't missing much. Amnesia sucks

Captain Power and the game/gun were awesome! My neighbor and I each got one for Christmas and had a blast playing it/shooting each other. Good times.

[@personavisceration371]

I was stuck shooting mirrors and the TV :(

[@doolittle_]

I met the actor that played Captain Power at a local mall. i was like 7 and scared shitless.

[@oscareduardomagananarvaez2475]

its great when you are watching old episodes of game sack and they upload a new one

[@auritone]

I bought Slain to support the developer. When it first came out it was panned, so they completely revamped the game and re-released it as Slain - Back from Hell. That is dedication and deserves to be acknowledged. Nice to see it get some more love here.

[@1SWINZ1]

Oh I didn't know that. I've only played Back from Hell. It's one of my favorite games ever made, I think. Certainly one of my favorite indie games.

[@Jesse__H]

their next game, Valfaris, is even better!

[@auritone]

@@Jesse__H I know. 😊

[@The_Wandering_Nerd]

[@danmanx2]

Jesus....the ending...you guys should've put this as MA only. Poor Dave.

[@sonicmario64]

Just the fact that "Resident Evil 7" is a first-person game is enough to scare me a lot worse than "Resident Evil: Survivor". :o

[@BcHmF]

Dead Space in surrround is awesome. Try it.

[@eukaryote-prime]

Karsten M. I don't get it... Their Xbox 360 or PS3 isn't hooked up to a surround recieved?

[@nashlancer6373]

Also the Xbox360 version is the best port especially when played on Xbox One backwards compatible.

[@MutaScale]

I remember being freaked out when i played the demo for "Silent Hill 4: The Room", the original "Condemned" was also pretty unnerving. And while the whole game wasn't much, the death scene during the "Maintenance Shed" part in "Jurassic Park Interactive" with the lunging raptor was fucking scary, even today.

[@12ealDealOfficial]

I admit, the first time I played Condemned, I got a little scared. I worked at a mortuary in Atlanta when I was 19 and Condemned reminded me of my old job. All fun and games until it was 1am and there's a house call on the bad side of town.

[@8thLife]

"She's been missing for 3 years and sends you an e-mail" Ripping off Silent Hill 2 much Resident Evil? 😂

[@MrDjdecks]

inspired by = rip-off apparently...

[@det.bullock4461]

@Lucas Lucas And Resident Evil is basically a Japanese attempt at an Alone in The Dark game from the little I've seen of RE.

[@MrDjdecks]

Where is your evidence?

[@JazGalaxy]

Lucas Lucas no. Just... no. Resident Evil is a wholesale ripoff of Infogrames’ “Alone In The Dark”. Where Silent Hill is just another scary game like Resident Evil, Resident Evil rips off whole scenes and basic game design from Alone In The Dark. 3rd person fixed camera game with “tank controls”? Alone In The Dark. Explore a mansion where you can’t leave through the front door or else you die? Alone In The Dark. The second big scare of the game is a dogs jumping through the window after the camera changes to an external camera like you’re being watched? Alone In The Dark. Pick between two lead characters, a man or a woman with adjusted difficulty? Alone In The Dark. First person journal entries where the writer slowly loses his mind? Alone In The Dark. If console gamers were more familiar with PC games in the mid nineties, Resident Evil wouldn’t get HALF of the accolades it gets. It’s a bigger budget, but less intelligent, version of another game that came before it,

[@BATCHARRO]

To be fair, some of the team that made RE7 came from Silent Hill demo thing that got cancelled. It's not so much a ripoff as it is them doing more or less what they where gonna do but in another franchise.

[@ararattempest-lingua]

"yawn" I'm working, will have a great night while watching this.

[@cody8804]

Scary sack. I’m not going to be able to sleep after taking a look at this sack

These games are so scary that we won't be able to sleep until the year 2026 at the earliest. Please send help.

[@DjDizzy216]

I love these scary/horror game episodes during October. I hope you make a Scary Movies 2 episode

[@mustangmckraken1150]

Heads up to anyone who wants it, don't buy Slain on the Switch. The opening area drops to like 2 to 5 fps for some reason and makes it unplayable. The devs claim they fixed it and never did and won't patch it to fix it

[@snatch1466]

Mustang McKraken yeah I regretted buying it, at least on Switch. It made my eyes hurt, and I thought the control felt bad as well.

[@lsgreger2645]

The beginning just cracked me up. Joe tries to speak all spooky and Dave just answers in his regular voice.

[@panagiotiszavantis]

Obscure in co op is lit.

[@darrnellnott07]

You guys forgot Ms. Pacman. That game was full of goats! Great ep per usual. I see the typo. I'm sticking with it.

Now someone needs to put goats in Ms Pac-Man.

[@strain42]

The game that scared me the most as a kid was Rugrats Search for Reptar on the PS1 since it had that survival horror level where you have to fight ghosts with your flashlight.

[@jeffcox6539]

Clock Tower would have been perfect for this episode.

[@TheLastLineLive]

Joe, the house in the beginning is just the guest house. The baker house is much bigger, that's the house you're talking about.

[@ZuviGaming]

I like games that aren't supposed to be about horror but still have moments that are really creepy 😩 can't play any actually scary games because I'm a wuss

[@GameSack]

Like Danganronpa? I mean it's all about killing but I wouldn't classify it as a horror game. Love it, though.

[@ZuviGaming]

@@GameSack hmm I don't know if that game was creepy, I like the series though! I think more like kirby 64, with the last boss... Or that one world with the creepy music😬

[@muhanc.a.9299]

I was kinda frightened by today's show, and then, that post credits scene. You guys are the best ha ha ha ha

[@stephenwhitener6650]

I loved Eternal Darkness for the GameCube and Splatterhouse 3 for the Genesis

[@CiroGalli]

Rainbow Island is really scary if you play it with the lights off.

[@x.kalibre]

Well, you guys mentioned you're not very big fans of jumpscares, so from that moment on I was expecting one until the end of the show. But you stayed true to your words, and now I trust you 100% forever! ^^

[@Starscreamlive]

I've never played the first Fatal Frame game, but the second one legit creeps me out if i'm playing alone in the dark late at night. That's the best way to play most of these games: alone late at night in the dark.

[@KyudoKun]

For me the most scariest game I've ever played was *SILENT HILL 2.* The spine chilling background sounds alone makes my hair raise.

You were very funny at points in this vid Joe! Very refreshing! 😝

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

I played through Resident Evil 7 in VR. I’ve never been so nervous playing a game! Probably even scarier than the PT demo!

[@GameSack]

A lot of people were saying this before I ever tried it in VR, so it had a lot to live up to. And like pretty much everything, it couldn't possibly live up to the hype and I didn't want to play a long-form game wearing a helmet. Maybe if it were only an hour or two.

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

Game Sack I do agree with that. It took me and my friend a couple of weeks to play through it in VR, mainly because we had to stop after a while. VR is cool and all. But i don’t think it’ll last. Like motion controls.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

Spooky Castle/ Dr Lunatic is another great, creepy adventure. It's a bit more kid friendly than most entries here, but it's silly fun.

[@danbauer3669]

When I first played Doom 3 I couldn't play for more than a half hour at a time because it freaked me out so much. Alone and at night always. Playing co op wasn't freaky at all

[@aaronvsteimle]

Clive Barker's Undying was pretty scary for a younger me. A first-or-third-person shooter with arcane motifs, what really got to me was the environmental sounds, especially when playing in the dark and wearing headphones.

[@ralfvanbogaert3451]

Scariest game I've played so far would be the grotesquely underrated F.E.A.R. 2. There's this part where you visit the antagonist's primary school, people who've played it know what I'm talking about. It never fails to unnerve me, and makes me glad I made it through. And just when you think you did...

[@sdmayday]

Enemy Zero by Kenji Eno / Warp is a first persons 3d survival horror game that really freaked me out. It has a lot of prerendered cutscenes that were top notch for its time. I am quite surprised that it did not make it into this episode. Maybe it has been covered before and I do not remember? Anyways, you are on a huge space station in outer space and you need to escape, because things went wrong and there are lots of aliens running around the station suddenly. You can kill them with your weak gun, but there is a big catch: Enemies are completely invisible in this game and very deadly! To target them you have to rely on your ears alone. It works a bit like the beeping sounds from the movie Aliens which everyone should know about. The pitch and frequency of the beeping sounds will change depending on where the aliens are located to you. This system will force you to turn up the volume on your tv to hear everything well enough and that will make the acustics even more intense and hectical. What's even worse is that you only have limited ammo at any point and you need to slowly charge up every single shot before can fire your gun. One missed shot might mean instant death to you, so better wait until it's really close before you pull the trigger! Thankfully there is a tutorial on disc one that will teach you everything you need to know. Another beauty of Enemy Zero is the save system.Your saving device (again) has a limited charge depending on the chosen difficulty, but there is no recharging here. Everytime single time you save or load a game the battery of your device will lose some of its power, so you have to think twice before saving, and dying will feel very painfull as a result, which adds yet another layer of fear into the mix. The game was meant to be released exclusively for the PSX, but then development shifted to the Saturn. If I remember correctly, Kenji Eno was not too happy when Sony was not willing to press enough copies of "D" for the PSX when Warp had lots preorders already. There is also a pc version of Enemy Zero available, but I am not sure if it will run on a modern machine without any help of dosbox or virtual machine. This game is absolutely worth playing if survival horror is your thing, even if it might look dated by now.
