What is that cell shaded ninja game in the radio buddy section and is it any good?

The biggest pet peeve: Microtransactions.

Physical releases with only HALF the game on the disc, forcing you to download the rest. I'm looking at you Spyro Reignited.

DESTROYING a boss only to have them beat you in the cutscene.

diabetes radio might be peak gamesack. i'm crying laughing rn.

Hell yes, new Game Sack! And it's an episode about my favorite past time: complaining!

Whenever a game doesn't seem to respect the player's time: - Unskippable cutscenes - Reloading the entire map when you die (or talk to an NPC!) - Slow animations (e.g., logo and title screen stuff, or attacks in some RPGs) - Excessive random encounters - No retry option, meaning you have to quit to menu and start again if you mess up - Anything else that prevents retries: needing to spend in-game currency every attempt, needing to wait X minutes before trying again, needing to slog through a bunch of levels every time, etc.

Here are a few of my pet peeves... 1) Lack of a tutorial in a modern game 2) Mandatory stealth sections where you fail instantly if you get seen 3) Permadeath (At least... Losing EVERYTHING you did because of a single death 4) This is something exclusive to the Bubsy series, but fall damage in a 2D platformer when you die in a single hit 5) Choice driven games where your choices actually bear very little to no weight whatsoever

Where did you learn to fly? Where did you learn to fly? Where did you learn to fly?

My pet peeve is that there isnt enough Radio Sack buddy...we want more!!

Putting an insta-kill quicktime event in the middle of a cutscene or at the end of a long boss battle that makes you watch or do the fight all over again for having missed it. There's a special place in game dev hell for you if you do this.

You killed me with the Radio Buddy skit on old games. Genius!

Games where the Video Options screen consists of a text box saying "adjust your TV lol"

For games with save files, my pet peeve is when the title screen has New Game selected by default instead of Continue.

My biggest pet peeve is having to wait another 2 weeks for the next GameSack episode.

6:21 "There is very few games where I think its done well and Metal Gear Solid is all of them." XD

Me: "I don't have any gaming pet peeves." 'The unnecessarily annoying noise'. Me: *YES*

Death by off screen enemy, particularly when they haven't yet been on screen, frustrating to no end.

Game Sack is my new favorite retro gaming channel ever since Classic Game Room kinda just gave up and stopped.

My Super Metroid pet peeve: If you save in the last save room, you're stuck in the last area of the game.

I hate that cheat codes were traded out for achievements. Cheat codes extended the gameplay. Achievements are just about narcissism.

I've always thought Star Fox on the SNES did a really good job with the damage beeper. It beeps at you WHEN YOU GET HIT to let you know you're in trouble, then shuts up. Perfect.

A physical release that is just a box with a download code. Cuphead on the Xbox for example.

You could have elaborated more on water deaths. How about characters that are aquatic in nature like Frogger for example can’t swim! He’s a frog 🐸! Frogs swim!

I'm from Sweden and i gotta say... If a game doesn't damage you when you touch a waterdrop i won't play it! Uncharted is a good example, you can walk in a rainstorm!!! I hate it!!!!

Game Sack is the greatest gaming channel 👍

Oh, I remember one. 30 characters long passwords displayed with tiny characters that have minuscules, majuscules, and numbers. O 0 o. 1 I L l. All on a vintage low-res TV. I'm looking at you with scorn, Mystical Ninja on SNES.

Unskippable cutscenes is the best call in this video. Nothing is worse than unskippable scenes that either always replay because of tough stages where I die, or intro ones you see every time you play through a game

A jumps, B shoots! (Or was it the other way around?)

Radio buddy? sums up the whole Modern FPS scene

*Radio Static* Come in, Game Sack. I just wanted to let you know that this was a good episode that I thoroughly enjoyed. It had a lot of good content that is vital for managing your diabetes. I wouldn't wanna be caught in that shockwave. *Radio static*

I think the New Zealand Story drops in the whale's belly are supposed to be stomach acid.

The ending should become it's own mini series. I could literally watch hours of it!

New Game Sack!! Thanks for making my poop time fun! Bosses that teleport around, bosses that constantly summon minions and bosses that have 2nd and 3rd forms with full life bars.

No joke, did a double take when I realized you were playing the logo thing at 3x speed.

One of my biggest pet peeves in gaming are "scripted loss" boss battles which give no indication of being such until after you've wasted a bunch of time and healing items trying to win a battle that you were never meant to win. An example of a scripted loss done right would be the first battle against Vile in Mega Man X; he has no lifebar like you would expect from a Mega Man game, and his attacks are so quick, powerful, and unavoidable that you can figure out fairly quickly that you never stood a chance of winning.

a diabetes commercial for pets came on immediately following the diabetes radio segment. I was briefly confused.

My pet peeves: When it's time for a new Sack and I need to refresh the page multiple times before it shows

The radio buddy gag is something that sucks in games but is delightful when spoofed on Game Sack. This was another fantastic episode, thank you!

I'm glad you guys did a show on gaming pet peeves. I have a few myself, and here's a big one for me I'd like to share: This one happens in games like "Mario 64," "Super Mario World," "Donkey King Country," both 1 and 2, and I'm sure 3 as well: You play through these games for awhile, making progress and collecting and earning 1-Up's one after the other. Then, you need to take a break. So, you Save and Quit. Later, you come back to the game to pick up where you left off at your last previous Save Point; you open your Save File, and there it is: all those extra lives you collected previously-GONE!!! All you have are the default 5 lives you start off the game with. With the Classic Systems now (except for the Nintendo 64 so far) this really isn't an issue anymore; since you can save any game at any time. But on the regular systems, this is pretty irritating to collect a bunch of extra lives, and then losing them because you need to take a break!

That radio buddy example for both "Captain Novolin" and "Streets Of Rage" made me chuckle for sure! :D

Otis from Dead Rising, the king of annoying radio buddies

Watching this cured my diabetes. Thank you GameSack!

In defence of water drops and British games...we’re just paranoid about the rain. Seriously, come over, it’s all we ever talk about.

I don’t mind the baby mario noise. I think from a game design perspective, it’s pretty good. Those other games serve no purpose for the noise though

I've been playing through FFX about once every couple years for the last 15+ years and I had NO idea the cutscenes were unskippable! My biggest gaming pet peeve is the handholding radio voice. So patronizing! But my second biggest gaming pet peeve is anything related to forced internet connections and monetary schemes.

When you cant pause during a cutscene.... Right DMC5?! Man, that upset me A LOT!

The worst part of the "Radio Buddy" is when you are forced to walk and hear what the person is saying, restricting you from running until they're done talking.

Unskippable tutorials are worse than unskippable cutscenes. I already know how to play the game, I don't need a tutorial on pushing the move stick.

Just wanted to thank you guys for this wonderful show. I absolutely love Game Sack! It's one of the best shows on youtube. Keep them great videos a-comin' guys!

Wilford Brimley appreciates you spreading the word about diabeetus.

"Your health is low, do you have any potions? or food?" Fable had the radio buddy and low health alarm all in one!

My biggest gaming pet peeve is always getting these dumb Game Sack videos flooding my feed! (Just kidding, love you guys! :D )

You guys make my favorite videos and I've learned about you like 6 days ago. Thank you so much.

Oh yeah, all these years and this is my first Saturday night Sack!

I actually like how cuphead deals with its bossfights, not showing you the lifebar during, but showing how close you came after you die. Really encourages you to keep trying

The pixel perfect jumping section. Found: In any of a multitude of scrolling platfromers of the 80's and first half of the 90s. As you near the end of the game, you'll be used to jumping from the very edge of platforms so the developers will start to throw the pixel perfect ones into series of regular jumps that you have to complete in one go due to dropping or crumbling platforms or time pressure. At this point you'll probably have to restart the game from scratch since you'll have to use up lives to memorise the jumping patterns.

I'm from Europe, I can confirm that killer water drops in video games is a major source of joy in life

Dumb AI companion AI, the kind that gets you killed.

Waits years for a game to come out, finally gets it, pops it in, massive day one patch, gets to wait even more...

Permanently missable good/unique items is JRPGs, usually a situation where there's a location that later ceases to be a location you can ever return to. If you get a second chance later I don't mind but easily permanent missable items bug me..if I miss them

With that "no life bar" peeve, I'd at least like some sort of indicator that I'm actually hurting it or wearing away its armor.

One of mine is bad hitboxes. Even the best games do this! Like in Super Mario World, you can get inside most projectiles and enemies, and they won't damage you! And most games that do this are not consistent either. In Super Mario World, the fire spitting plants that spit 4 slowly falling fireballs, Mario/Luigi have to be in it to take damage. On the other hand, a Charging Chuck throwing baseballs, you touch it, you get hit. I like it when it is simple; if you got hit by it, you got hit by it, no matter what. That way, you know to trust that the objects presented are the what you should be avoiding.

I've got one. In a typical platformer you are given a lot of extra lives in earlier levels, so by the time you get to the last part of the game you have a healthy number of lives for when the levels get hard and you need them. Now, in a bunch of Super Nintendo platformers like Mario World, Yoshi's Island, and the entire Donkey Kong Country series, they had a save feature. Only problem was, if you were near the end of the game and had a ton of lives, then saved and quit, when you started again all the extra lives you collected would be gone and you'd have just four or five lives you started the game with, just when you actually started needing them.

Pet Peeve for me: First level always a tutorial. Gone are the days of instruction booklets inside the game case.

in pokemon black/white and 2, they integrated the beeping noise when on low health into a song that feels dire.

Day 1 updates on games that take longer to dload and install then it does to get through the single player campaign (applies to many for games)

Joe talks about how the Europeans love the water drops was so funny!

That ending was the best part of my day.

So basically speaking, Joe is Dave's biggest pet peeve

Do you go out in the rain in America? Are you crazy?

the radio segments were hilarious 😂

Radio buddies is probably the best skit gamesack has ever done. Thanks guys, I thought poopin on Halloween wouldn't be beat

People who use terms like "Xbots" and "Sony ponies" unironically are one of my pet peeves.

Yes :) I'm up at 2am for a new upload! :) so excited.

Damn you for pointing out the radio buddy now i can't unsee it! (Love the channel!)

Hahaha that vulture in "La Lamuna", had exactly the same problem at the exact same place :D

One of my pet peeves is when there's no invincibility or anything, and thus enemies can just combo you into oblivion with you not being able to do a thing to avoid it. The Legend of Spyro series had that problem until the third game, which is pretty bad to see. It's a series that I want to get into, though I know not many people actually like it. I personally enjoyed A New Beginning, aside from getting comboed to death by mooks. As for unskippable cutscenes, well, I'd like more if they weren't outright skippable if I'm playing a game for my first time. Unskippable cutscenes are more of a pain for me if I'm replaying a game, but some games allow you to pause the cutscenes, then gives the option skip them while paused, which is pretty much what I prefer.

"Games as a service". Back in the day, you just released a game and it had to be at least serviceable or that was the only game you released. This concept of releasing incomplete games to be fixed later is ridiculous.

Joe's radio buddy bit kills me every time. Would love to hear Joe star as a radio buddy in some sort of parody game, great amount of potential for humor there.

Lmao, that end clip. I love your walkie-talkie sound effect.

Idea for the next Game Sack episode, "Games that will Help You Manage Your Diabetes"

You two can build a hip hop career on that thumbnail alone.

That radio just stuff was just amazing lmao bro

The radio buddy skit was hilarious!! 😂😂😂

A Game Sack episode so sweet it gave me diabeetus!

Europeans hate water, apparently. If the game took place in Flint, it would make sense.

Y’all are too good at that walkie talkie assist lol

The knock back in Symphony of the night is amazing😡 😂

I got diabetes from watching this.

I love radio buddy's without them I would have never been able to get my diabetes under control! Thank you Radio Buddy!

Slow movement speed, obscured Hud when close to death, and regenerating health.

6:32 Some of the funniest stuff I've heard in awhile. It just goes on, and on, and on, and then on! Nice work.

my biggest pet peeve: NO DAVE!

WTF? I'm on honeymoon! *skips it and watch a new Game Sack episode.

Thanks for brightening my very early Sunday morning a little. This was great. On a separate note, I hope you guys do some more developer specific episodes in the future, as I always reference your Data East and Sunsoft videos.

Top 3 pet peeves are all from the same genre - racing games: #1 Rubber banding - especially when you are racing perfectly and mess up once then you're in last #2 When you are in first place and you hardly get bumped on a turn and you go way off the road. But when you try to do it back to them you cannot even budge them and you still go off the road #3 Challenges that are impossible to finish i.e. get 20 seconds of airborne time in DIRT 5 when there are only a couple of jumps on the track that only give you 1 second of air time on each jump.

A pleasure to see your videos always. Please do a review dedicated to Panzer Dragoon Saga man! Cheers from Costa Rica!

Forced/Auto-scrolling in platformers. Bad hit-detection. Bad jumping controls.

Amazing video, as always. Thank you, Game Sack!
