This channel has improved my sleep habits. ❤

Something to watch when I sleep. Thanks Joe

All roads lead to Game Sack

I got my perfect living room setup for the holidays: christmas lights, tree and this video running on repeat.

You can use “batteries” to play the Astro mini. I have a rechargeable power brick and I have used it for this as well as the neo geo mini. Works just great!

Mm, crunchy consoles. Thanks for all your hard work, Joe ✌🏻❤️

Game Sack: Stereo - of - the - Art and doubling our viewing pleasure in 2023!

Just want to say thanks for putting in so much effort in your videos. I really appreciate the work you do to keep these games alive in our minds. It means a lot!

I never liked how they took out the enemies yelling "oh shit!" when they die in the Genesis version of Golden Axe.

Going through my own personal PS3 crunch right now. Still amazed at how great some games look. Castlevania: Lord of Shadows is on deck right now and, to me, it looks amazing. There was/is something special about the PS3 and what developers were able to crank out with the hardware. Playing a release title versus one released a few years later shows some dramatic improvements.

This Crunch will fill the hollidays between Xmas and New Year perfectly, thanks Joe👍😊

Thanks I needed this. I thought I could handle no new episodes till 1-8-23, then I started withdrawing hard yesterday mourning.

This crunch episode was one of your best, in my opinion. Fun seeing Kratos and Sack Boy in action. Keep up the good work, Joe!

I really appreciate your honest approach on these games. Sometimes there are games i like that you don't like or vice versa, and it actually feels good to hear someone who is thinking critically about games, and at the same time, not just faking that they love every fricken game. Its fun

1 PS3 game I would absolutely suggest to anybody is The Puppeteer. It's not groundbreaking at all gameplay-wise, but it's art-style and presentation are some of the best I've ever seen. It's on the more expensive side for sure, costing between $70-$100, but I would definitely pick up a copy if you have the chance soon because it's price is continuing to go up. It's definitely one of those overlooked classics that people appreciate more now than when it was released.

Console Crunch: The Gamer's Lullaby.

I love the soft look of the PS3 games. They had low resolution but great anti aliasing, which made them look extremely smooth. Modern games tend to prioritize 4k over everything, which makes them look very cheap if they don't use high resolution textures. I wished that devs prioritized ray tracing and good AA, and kept the resolution at 1080P.

I remember the rumble feature being dropped was in actuality due to a patent infringement lawsuit against Sony from the design of the dual shock 2 controller. They weren’t able to redesign in time for ps3 launch and pulled the feature entirely. I never heard the “interference” story. This is just what I remember from news reports around that time.

Notifications be hearing for this channel 💫 Stay legendary gamers, like the Sack 🏆🎮

Merry Christmas 🎅

Had both the 3DO and 32x. Guess how long the 32x lasted? One night and we brought it back. Anyway thanks again for the entertainment. Always fun to watch. Anyway take care all.

Thanks!

I have to heartily second the praise for 3D dot Heroes. It's the best non-Nintendo Zelda style game of that generation. It also has tons of little jokes and nods to other franchises. Great game.

Awesome video! It brought back lots of great memories and showed me some titles I want to purchase for my collection! I still have a multiple Sony 3D TV’s and have to say, playing WipEout in 3D was the BEST! Only way better is to play on using the PS4 VR! I still have my move controllers and ‘navigation controller’ which I did not even know it was called that! I played Motor Storm on my PlayStation TV two player with the 3D glasses where each person had their own full screen! Quite an interesting concept however there was ghosting from each others screen that was visible. The historical fight of the giant crap made me laugh :D Playing Killzone 3 with with a 3D TV along with the move controller using the official PS3 move gun of which I do not remember what it was call other than the commercial that referred to it as ‘Daddies little helper’ was fun however difficult. I will most likely set it up again to play through when I ever have enough free time!

The PS360 era of gaming holds up still after this many years.. what a great gen

25:30 "The one that is already in there." Is that you Craig Statler?

some holiday sack i will miss video games once the world ends

Just noticed the My Life in Gaming shade thrown, love the lil fart sound lol! I have seen the name but never watched a vid, it never seemed right for me. But Game Sack? My happy place.

Hi Joe, love the channel! In The first Pixel Ripped game, you dont have to shoot the teacher, try shooting several items in The classroom. Shooting diferent items, gives diferent and funny distractions to the teacher, and It gives you way more time to play the side scrolling part.

Awesome work Sir thank you

Love the console crunches!

The PS3 was my favourite console of that generation, helped me through alot of difficult times

Don’t sleep on Dark Souls, Joe. It’s phenomenal. Demon’s Souls cranked to 11. Beautiful.

"one of my favorite games on the Master System" 10 seconds later "I HATE this game! hate it, HATE IT!" and so Anakin was already absorbed by anger.

22:22 that looks nice!

Joe as you love video games music almost as much as I do, you should check out Iceferno’s Castlevania medleys on a Harpsichord tone. It’s pretty stellar.

The pocket is basically a new system since the original review.

Love this channel!

Another bit of trivia for Rad Mobile, the game was featured in the movie "Encino Man".

Joe is a master of subtle sarcasm.

Last video for 2022. Have a great new year, everyone

Who all gets sleepy when watching crunch episodes...I always come to pick up where I drafted of at tho...lol

I always look forward to GameSack new videos!!

I visited all the relatives and ate turkey. Now it’s time to watch some gamesack and play some sonic frontiers on my series X. Might pop in High on life later.

Dark Edge tickles a very specific part of my brain. I've always had this lingering hypothetical question of 'what if we had never learned how to render polygons, and we had continued to simulate 3D with sprites/scaling/scanline effects, etc. What would a 2024 game with 35 years of improvements to Sega's Superscaler hardware look like.

We need another Tude era video. I would enjoy that.

You have to press R3 to lock onto enemies in Demon`s Souls.

I wish the Astro City Mini would've added one instead of using "the one that was already in there".

Love me some sega tapes. I got one of those chinesium 965400 in one things that has pretty much all i want for 40usd, and it didn't even blow off the back of my tv.

Man all you did is make me remember why I love ps3 and want to buy some games for it

That Sega AM2 shirt is freaking awesome!

It's cool seeing you cover VR games, you gotta get a Quest 3

Well, my phone will be off for a significant amount of time.

Dang. I wanted another port of Alien Syndrome. I like that game.

You rock joe.

Exerion on the SG-1000 may be the spiritual predecessor to Space Harrier I mean Afterburner

And now the analogue pocket is 699$…. They are CRAZY😂😂

Hey, I love Columns. It's a solid series and it helps kill some time.

Wangan Midnight soundtrack on Gran Turismo 5? You legend.

We need more console crunches!!

The booty shaking made me laugh so hard

Happy holidays game sack another year of greatness

TANZER The name of the game you are looking for is Tanzer.

Ok that last joke was funny af 😂😂😂

Just FYI, you/he seem to have completely missed that you are able to lock-on to enemies in Demon's souls, same with pretty much every other "soulsbourne" after that as well, and it's definitely not a small detail. I dunno if he ever realized that after playing more but I suspect that he didn't based on how he never mentioned it in the commentary or added a correction through text when editing the part where he talks about how he struggled with landing hits on the enemies. Although if he managed to enjoy the game without knowing this crucial aspect of the gameplay he might love the games after learning how to lock-on, as it effectively removes one of his few complaints that weren't supposed to be a part of the challenge.

this crunch are so good for me while i do my training!

Love me console crunch

Disappointed this video doesn't have stereo of the art sound.

My second favorite sack.

Love. Just pointing out - PS VR was released in 2016, not 2013.

I love The Last of Us personally, but you're absolutely right that it takes itself waaaaay too seriously.

Time for Sega to get back in the console game with a Dreamcast 2!!!! Let's go!

Third most-selling rpg on the ps3: Ni No Kuni wrath of the white Witch. Great graphics, even better combat-system.

Hell YES!!!!

Very interesting new to me games!

thanks for adding the og ps3 memes

Probably answered in the original video, but the Killzone 3 loading issues are likely due to the game looking for a server and not finding it.

Everything you've said is factually correct and doesn't make me angry. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️

game over yeah!!!!! Sega always had the most upbeat game over songs. lol

Merry Christmas Joe 🎄🎄

Do you have a Quest 2? That headset makes me feel like the Dreamcast days. Iron Man VR, Walking Dead, Red Matter 2, and so many quirky titles make it feel like something from Sega during the 90s, if you play the right game. Also, emulating is awesome, you can play old-school games on projector style screen

Live the Future!

1:27:38, that's what Dave said. You're welcome.

your the best man, I love your videos so much

May god or whatever diety you subscribe to bless you Joe. We all needed this.

Well I guess I owe yah a comment since I've been enjoying this combination video a lot. So comment! Anyways keep up the great work I love to chill to your episodes.

After this video ALL these games and consoles prices skyrocketed on eBay! The PS3 game "Puppeteer" alone went up to $60-$1000!!!!!!!!

I played Uncharted for the first time last year and I really enjoyed it. I beat all of them on the ps3 in a few days.

Princess ninja also known as Kunoichi-Hime

I REALLY want that gamepad...

1:30 I wonder if any other products that use the same plastic casing actually can run batteries? I would think so, considering the mold still has the outline for the battery door that would have been there.

Confession.... I broke my game boy playing crash dummies. I have never been so pist at a game.

Awesome I like the game review it is really cool keep up the good work!

This is one meaty sack

25:30 It's simple, really: that game existed only to satisfy a law that forbade the sale of arcade cabinets without a game included.

You’re hilarious & i love your channel ❤

Sniff. The NES never had stereo of the art sound.

Funny to hear him Say a game is a ghetto version

2:28:50 I know you said "and the other chap" but for a second it sounded like you said something else lol
