Game of the Year So Far - Kinda Funny Gamescast

[@zacj3]

We need more Gamescasts like this. General discussion talking games.

[@dotty1774]

Definietly, been missing just general discussion on what people are playing.

[@stroudwes0325]

Facts don't need a whole games cast devoted to games like WWE. Prefer discussions.

[@R4MM3RNZ]

​@@stroudwes0325 100%

[@Tee_youyou]

Totally agree.

[@JoyTuub]

I enjoy the other games cast, but these are definitely my favorites. Just friends having discussions about our favorite hobby.

FF7 Rebirth is going to be hard to top as my GOTY. What a huge game

Although Tekken 8 is a very close 2nd for me so far

[@samphu98]

My personal goty is Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth

[@EveryTimeIDavid]

The Like a Dragon games are so good.

[@LPDisturbedHU]

Same! Although FFVII Rebirth might overtake it for me. We’ll see. I just can’t stop thinking about it even this long after beating it.😭

[@picto3]

@@LPDisturbedHU Love both these franchises. Going through Rebirth right now but really want to go through Infinite after this. Only like 50 hours and worried the ending won't stick because I see articles out there that the ending was bad. But staying away from reading any Rebirth spoilers till I beat the game myself.

[@LPDisturbedHU]

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Persona 3 Reload Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Unicorn Overlord…. This is an amazing year for JRPGs and its only March! With plenty more on the way! Aside from P3R (due to it being a remake, albeit an amazing one) I could see a GOTY argument for each of these.

[@Boostergreen]

Lmao Greg's intro. Needed that laugh.

[@Beesonal]

Just wanted to say how much I love kindafunny, was having a bad mental day and kindafunny always brings a smile to my face

Rebirth, end of debate.

good to see my Like a Dragon homies out here

Like a Dragon is amazing

[@RobC-sp7vj]

lmao if you think it has any shot against ff7 rebirth you delusional homie

[@RobC-sp7vj]

its a decent game, but no where near the masterpeice of rebirth

[@aoBubs]

@@RobC-sp7vj but I don't like final fantasy that much I want to play Rebirth eventually but just cause you said that, now I want to play it even less. nah jk. But seriously some of you guys are annoying about Rebirth, I do not care who wins GOTY but I’m still gonna shout out my favorites and we don’t need people saying “but other game better” every single time that happens

[@danorganplayer]

Rebirth was wayyyyy underrated by the Kinda Funny Crew. It's bonkers how much it improved and expanded upon part 1 and that was their GOTY. I don't know many games capable of being 100+ long and yet feel like it's a 20 hour game. The variety, the characters, the combat one of the best systems in a game, the music..... Incredible game.

[@Masterpain33]

It’s not western. These guys will defend the hate mob currently happening to gamers started by journo friends and SBi. We care about the games not these people

[@danorganplayer]

It's just so weird how remake was goty for them and it had major issues despite being great. This one is way better.

[@TheKennyboy92]

Helldivers 2 is a legit GOTY contender have had so much fun with it. Rebirth is the clear GOTY contender for me, it is incredible how much is packed in there and how good it all is.

[@gumgumleobazooka]

2024 hitting hard the first 2 months.

[@spacemanleezy93]

Helldivers is a 10/10 blast!

[@joezacc235]

Was not ready for how good rebirth is judging from the KF review. Fuck best game this year. It’s one of the best games ever.

[@AndrewB2189]

This is why I don’t watch reviews of games I think I’m going to love. Easily one of my favorite games ever about 20 hours in

[@erodotosmiltiadous]

Greg not trying Rebirth yet because of the reviews, is what exactly happened with Days Gone.

[@danorganplayer]

@@erodotosmiltiadous why would he not try it cuz of the reviews? Lol

[@erodotosmiltiadous]

@danorganplayer He said so, around the 1hr mark. He has a lot of games to play, and he said that the KF review hasn't urged him to play it, despite him loving FF7 Remake.

[@AndrewB2189]

@@erodotosmiltiadous That’s so dumb. He did the same thing with FFXVI. Maybe it’s just his taste in games, but it feels like he isn’t giving Japanese games a fair shot. I was annoyed by how he couldn’t be bothered to look up from his laptop during the last Stellar Blade trailer too

[@capn_capacitor]

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes looks like it’s going to be the true successor to the classic Suikoden II on PS1, one of the greatest of all-time, even 25 years later. RIP to Suikoden creator, Yoshitaka Murayama. 😢

[@chaoskingdom1996]

I wasn’t expecting it will all the other games that came out early this year, but I think Helldivers 2 is my GOTY so far

[@maddoggnick96]

I platinumed The Lost Crown. It’s an awesome game. I’m also loving FF7 Rebirth so far.

[@krisnanakwame]

Yeah Lost crown I had to platinum, such a good game!

[@Jace_Drone]

Hell Divers 2 is #1 right now. Erdtree might take it. Though there are a bunch of surprises Im sure are coming in 2024

[@shhhonuff320]

Rebirth and it aint close...and I loved Infinite Wealth

[@dingus2k]

pacific drive ain’t for everybody but it’s definitely for me. my goty so far. also loving helldivers

[@flamingphoenix3819]

FFVII Rebirth gonna be hard to top for me

[@David-uc6sg]

Love PoP Lost Crown but Super Metroid is the king(queen) of Metroidvanias.

[@thomasalley3121]

I have high hopes for Judas if it drops this year. Ken Levines's last game Bioshock Infinite was freaking awesome.

[@TheBrandocoot]

Wish we could have gotten Roger on here too bc having 20 games listed and not mentioning Infinite Wealth feels like a crime. It’s my goty but that game is objectively top 3 of the year so far

[@workoftheworldmedia6748]

Nothing prepared me for how good Rebirth is. Seriously, if you haven’t played it, you are missing out!!!!

[@linkjag]

This has already been such an incredible year for games, especially for RPG fans. Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and FF7 Rebirth may be 2 of my favorites of all time let alone just this year. Persona 3 Reload, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Helldivers 2 are also all absolute bangers

[@Cyborg_1612]

It’s Helldivers 2 for me. I love ff7 rebirth but liberating in the name of democracy has given me more joy in a videogame than anything else in a long time

[@jacobroundy2055]

FF7 Rebirth and Infinite Wealth just kick-started this year off on an amazing note! My third favorite is a much smaller but simply delightful game: Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore.

[@ThunderPhant]

Super glad to finally have a gamecast like this, it's been a while with all the releases, but check ins like this are always the best

This is the kinda kindafunny content I needed today

[@blk.mantis]

Sushi at a gas station, you know what you're getting into 😅😅😅😅😅

[@sutekidane94]

I really don’t understand how people can call the mini games in Rebirth padding. It seems like people don’t remember how many mini games were in the original. I actually find it refreshing that they “gamify” all the side content. People are always complaining that side quests are boring. Rebirth makes them challenging and unique. Queen’s Blood alone could seriously be its own IRL game. Rebirth is firmly my GoTY

[@SetsunaF916]

It's the because the mini games in Rebirth are padding. That's why people call it padding.

[@aoBubs]

mini games are good as side content. make too many of them mandatory and it gets really annoying. it's like the prozd skit where the shooting in the game is good but then someone shows up to make you do a boring egg hunt. now I can't speak for Rebirth specifically because I haven't played it yet. but that's where I stand generally.

[@superxnatrl1941]

@@SetsunaF916correct

[@sutekidane94]

@@SetsunaF916 would you call all the side stuff you can do in Yakuza game padding? No, it’s part of what makes the game what it is. Would you rather an empty world where the side quests are all fetch quests. Every town is literally one building. Your party walks in, you talk to all of them, then leave for the next town? It’s not padding. It’s world building and player engaging. Padding is just what people call it because they don’t like it. Not the same thing. There a high correlation between people who are calling this padding, and those who complain that they are doing something different instead of sticking to the original game 1:1. FF fans are FF’s biggest critics.

[@wyrmslayer1991]

I love an episode that shows just how on edge Andy is when he’s around Greg. The man barely flinched. Dude is ready

[@darkhawk5]

I was so confused when Tim started talking about the ghostbusters cartoon, thanks for clarifying Greg!

[@EveryTimeIDavid]

Rebirth is my favorite game so far this year. Granted I’m only 22 hours in and on chapter 4 😂, but it’s scratching an itch I didn’t know I had. I liked Prince of Persia a lot, but it’s not on the level of my favorite Metroidvania games. The story in it sucks, honestly, and the chronology of it makes no sense. It just made me want to go back to Ori again. Will be interested to see how it stacks up by end of year.

[@billcosgrove2112]

Man, Goose Island brewery in Philly (RIP) had mozz sticks out of this world. They used slices of a fresh mozzarella ball instead of sticks. Absolutely heavenly

[@thalunizz21]

I enjoyed this very much - more of these.

[@lags7164]

Helldivers 2 (multiplayer of the year so far) & Pacific Drive (indie of the year so far?) have been the only games to spike my excitement - personally - so far in 2024 with the first true Singleplayer GotY contender, Dragon's Dogma 2, incoming.

[@Razlo]

No Infinite Wealth makes this discussion seem off

[@sutekidane94]

No shot ya’ll put Harley in the background for a discussion of best games so far this year. I haven’t seen a single person praise kill the Justice League

[@lordbobert4029]

It’s going to be game of the year probably game of the decade if we’re being honest here

[@josephpleimann6600]

For a second there I thought Greg was going to a secret premiere of a "Real Ghostbusters" revival show. I'm glad he cleared that up for me!

[@joshuabarnett88]

It's helldivers, and I can't believe that's the case. I have over 100 hours in it and can't stop.

[@aaronwalsh8469]

Helldivers 2 was the last game I thought I would be playing. When I saw the initial trailers. I was like this game is lame. Really bad marketing in my opinion. They could have just shown people playing the game with mics on . Kinda like the first Anthem trailer that turned out to be mostly bogus.

[@TooTallGamer]

Last Epoch. Definitely GoTy candidate so far.

Man, if we don't get anything NEW from either PlayStation or Microsoft, this year is going to be trash.😂

[@BirdsOfWar]

Helldivers 2 and prince of Persia are my top games so far. both were surprise bangers 🔥

[@cesarfuentes4848]

In my heart Infinite Wealth is the best game I’ve played in my life. After finishing all other Yakuza games, it’s just amazing in every way. Hopefully more people get to enjoy it.

Only two people in this discussion... 1. Those who love democracy and vote Helldivers 2. Those who hate democracy and don't vote Helldivers

Zero chance Helldivers 2 comes to Xbox, Greg.

[@mauriciosalazar2289]

Rebirth vs Infinite Wealth for me

[@TheAOTSdude]

LIKE A DRAGON INFINITE WEALTH GAME OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@paulcoffield2102]

I think FF7 Rebirth is probably the front-runner at the moment and it's releasing in a good year, because I don't think it would have stood a chance against Elden Ring, GoW Ragnarok, TotK or BG3 over the last couple of years even though it probably would have made the final list of nominees in both. It also doesn't have a behemoth like GTA6 or even something like Monster Hunter Wilds or Death Stranding 2 to compete against either as they're releasing next year, so could be a good year to pick up the W.

[@slmm__6959]

lol Greg really said helldivers is coming to Xbox lol that’s not happening

[@loganbigmo]

watched/listened up to 38:00

[@usedfuzzbox]

And Dragon's Dogma isn't even out yet......

[@ZaaRaphz]

I'll fix blessings views on balatro, different decks do go crazy, he just hasn't unlocked then, each deck has 7 chip difficulties. The game is a blast

[@SabelXDlol]

Tekken 8 and its not close at all, expecting FF7 and Unicorn Overlord to be up there when I finish them whenever that will be 😅

[@maddoggnick96]

This is KFG Vol. 2, Episode 226 (Episode 478 overall)

[@maximnewman2483]

I don’t actually have a game of the year contender so far. I’ve not really played any of the new releases apart from Unicorn Overlord and Rebirth. I’m enjoying both. I do have issues with Rebirth. The open world got boring really quick for me. Side quests too, on top of all the incessant mini games. Although I am enjoying the gameplay. Visuals are great and performances are great. Just wish it was more streamlined.

Can you guys discuss about the Sweet Baby Inc. controversy floating around right now? Its seems to be adding to the dev layoffs by having people not play their games because of some conspiracy this anti community cooked up

[@sherpawhale]

Balatro is my GOTY so far. This game is a problem.

[@geoafe66]

Helldivers or Rebirth but I still need to finish other games

[@ThunderPhant]

I wanna play Prince of Persia, but I'm not buying a game on the Epic store. There are already too many games I want to play, and Steam is my preferred ecosystem.

[@baundiesel]

Helldivers 2 is probably my GotY right now even though I went a week without being able to play it (log in or matchmaking). I still think Hellblade 2 will probably be my favorite though something like Dragon's Dogma 2 or Dragon Age Dreadwolf could sneak in. Side note, the random producer appearances in the corner of the show is distracting and takes away from the quality of the production of the content. Especially if there's no commentary or reason for it.

[@vic101roman]

I'm only here to state bitter disappointment at the lack of Infinite Wealth on this video and video card

[@sheatisdale1471]

Tim could sell me a rock if he really wanted too because Metroidvania is not my style

[@dompne33]

Surley it's Mario V DK or helldivers 2?

[@egregg1ous]

johnny bravo comes to mind, but he's such a problematic character in hindsight...GOTY (so far) is probably helldivers 2

[@iortizjunior]

Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth or FF7: Rebirth are easily the GOTY so far. I think Dragon Dogma potentially could be the GOTH when all is said and done. Helldiver 2 is good but not that good to be GOTY in my opinion. Its repetitive as hell.

[@danny7091]

Helldivers 2, Palworld, Last Epoch, Gran Blue Fantasy Indie/AA fans are eating GOOD this year

[@DuraiZiyaee]

Let me guess: Any games wholly or tangentially related to Playstation or Nintendo. A bunch of Japanese games. No MS / xbox games.
