Loved this! Andy and Barrett killed it! So awesome having Janet and Parris there, such a great time!
For real so good to have them there!
The set and production value of this really shows off the new studio so well. Loved the conversation, love the list, love the set, love you all.
It's great seeing everyone together for this!
The desk graphics are way cool to show the top ten list. I look forward to seeing what y'all will do when you get even more time using the equipment.
Huge smile on my face seeing the whole KF games crew in person. Great episode and looking forward to a great 2023!
P.s. shout out to the line up of games on the desk video monitors . Such a great touch!!
One of my favorite videos KF has ever done. An absolute blast with incredible production, chemistry and commentary. KF rules. Much love to the team and to the best friends
Great show everyone! It was so great having Janet and Parris on set.
My GOTY is Horizon Forbidden West
did you only play a couple of games in 2022?
@@boochtron Honestly yeah not too many games caught my eye this year. But it’s my opinion and I enjoyed Horizon a lot more than Ragnarok. HFW has my favorite combat system ever. What’s your GOTY?
@@AndrewB2189 Elden Ring. Forbidden West was good. End of a top 10 kinda game.
@@boochtron Nice yeah I’ve watched a good amount of Elden Ring gameplay and I don’t think it’s for me. But I understand it must an amazing game given how many people love it. I played Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls remake a fair amount and they never really clicked for me. HFW is a end of the top ten kind of game in your opinion. In my opinion it’s amazing and one of my favorite games
@@AndrewB2189 haha funny, a certain KF guy's favorite game was Horizon as well this year. Horizon is a fun Ubisoft game for sure :)
This was amazing and I hope all of you are on The KindaFunny Game of the Year show going forward. Paris, Mike and Janet was an incredible addition.
Really loved that you all elevated Sifu. Definitely in my top 5 of the year
That was a lot of fun to watch. Great job everybody.
Blessing is my favorite, but damn can they guy ramble lol
Great episode, I loved this last year and this year was also excellent. Plagues Tale needed a little love but the top 2 were spot on for me.
Congrats to Barrett and Andy on the production of this show. Loved seeing almost the whole crew at the desk together.
Thanks!
I’ve been watching you guys ever since covid started so I’m glad to see where you’ve guys have gone with the set and production :) keep up the good work!
My favorite episode of every year did not disappoint! Killer job with the graphics, and it was so fun seeing seven people at the desk (plus Barrett on mic)!
Barrett, when you read this, know I appreciate you for the Pentiment love.
Otherwise, this is a solid list. I'm not surprised by the top 3, or the order.
Great production everyone!
Best use of the main set yet! Loved the GFX Andy, well done.
Wooooooowww!!!! The Spare Bedroom set is so inspiring and motivating!!! It really shows off its value in this episode. As a creative, and soon to be business owner, I truly appreciate what having this studio has done for Kinda Funny. Again, congrats on the new home and keep brining the amazing content!!
Fantastic podcast! I love getting to see truly how much all you care about games and about your own content ❤️
S/O to Janet ❤ she gave horizon forbidden west it’s flowers 💐
Shout-out to Mike, there are only two of my top ten list represented here, so I feel you!
What a great year for games that there can be such a diversity of quality titles in the top ten, honourable mentions and beyond
Dude the set is fucking incredible, especially the desk with the games that show up as they are revealed. So good, whoever did all that.
Loved this! Production was so good! My only suggestion for next year would be for everyone to quickly go through their lists at the end
Awesome list presented in the most fun way again! Loved the discussions. My own top 10 for the year would be:
1) Kirby and the Forgotten Land (man did this game shock the hell out of me. I've never LOVED a Kirby game before, but this game blew me away, especially with its endgame)
2) AI: the Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative (Kotaro Uchikoshi is the best script and scenario writer in all of games, and his new game just proves that even further)
3) Live A Live (finally got a chance to play this legendary JRPG I've heard about all my life and it lived up to the hype and was remade beautifully)
4) Splatoon 3 (most fun multiplayer game I've played this year with the best online experience of any competitive modern game, and a shockingly good story mode)
5) Elden Ring (finally a worthy open-world game to properly take up the BotW mantle, and with wonderful FromSoft combat design and an amazing world)
6) Pokemon Scarlet/Violet (some of the most fun I've had with Pokemon of all time, wonderful music, plot, characters, and new Pokemon. Everything I could ask for in a Pokemon game)
7) Sonic Frontiers (shockingly fun, unexpectedly good writing, amazing soundtrack, a surprisingly good implementation of Sonic speed puzzles into a BotW-style open "zone")
8) Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (still not to the series' heights I want from the first game, but a phenomenal story nonetheless with the best soundtrack of the year)
9) Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak (the best G-Rank expansion since MH4U, improving on the immensely fun game even more, can't wait for more new monsters)
10) Pokemon Legends Arceus (shocked at how good the endgame is and the primary gameplay loop is addicting)
GREAT stuff KF crew!
Played all the games in top 10 minus Kirby.
I think this was a predictable top 5 outcome but enjoyed the chat regardless.
Janet I got your back on HFW..my clear GOTY still enjoying it further after NG+
Plagues Tale should’ve been higher IMO.
Just a joy to see you all together
I am going to love rewatching this every year
Barrett and Andy killed it w/ the graphics 🙏🏼
I know everyone has touched on how special it is that everyone is in the same room together, and it is very special. Though, there’s one addition to this episode people have left under appreciated… and it’s the fact that daddy Parris was serving us the gun show this whole episode! God damn!!!
It was a blast for sure.
The touch of having Tee Lopes - Shredder’s Revenge be the interlude music showing the numbers was top notch 11/10 would recommend
Very special episode loved seeing the whole KFG cast together (missing Gary) good job KFC!!!
thank you for being the one place that is giving Sifu its well deserved flowers. that game was my heart’s choice for GOTY. seeing it be left off so many lists over the last month or so has been frustrating, good to know i can count on y’all being real ones.
Good to see everyone together.
Yesssss, yall have just been immortalized in my gaming RUclips channels
This was so much damn fun. Good stuff team, looked beautiful!!
The synchronized nodding at 2:14:00 is really funny 😂😂
Clip this!
Hyped for the Manon Gage interview!
Great job Kinda Funny crew! Here's to an even more exciting 2023!
Great show guys! Lots of games to check out for me
Blessing is like a content generator. Dude can spill his thoughts on anything.
They didn't play Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (or most other JRPGs last year it looks like), so I wasn't surprised to see its omission!
I didn't expect to see it in their aggregated list, but the fact that no one even had it in their individual top 10 list hurt my soul lol. At least the Live A Live remake got an honorable mention!
Oh hey it's you. I think you're cool, but a little too much of a nintendo fanboy. That objectivity is not there.
Totally amazing setup and crew. Love the way you do GotY. Great job 🙌🤩🎉
Can we show Fran some love! Nice voice over work!!!
Thanks, Xavior!
You guys are really missing out on A Plague Tale Requiem. it had by far one of the best stories in not just of the year, but past decade. Plus gamplay wise it is a much bigger than the first which was already a fun game.
Couldn’t agree more. First half was pretty surprising to me. Top two were THE choices, imo. Still need to get to Sifu. I keep remembering the original review and not being fully bought in, but to think I need to take the dip.
Great job and another great year everyone! Love that so many games that flew under a lot of people's radars were so high on this list. Bless, keep absolutely killing it! Janet, you've improved a lot, and it feels like you've started to really carve out your space here. Mike and Andy- keep being amazing! Parris is always great! Greg and Tim are OKAY I guess.
Just have to throw in my thoughts on the top spot. While I knew it was going to get 2nd before starting this video, Elden Ring not winning GOTY is so hard for me to accept. GOW was absolutely incredible, and a game I'll think about for a long time, but Elden Ring was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. It made me feel like a little kid discovering the magic of video games again. I will remember that initial playthrough for the rest of my life. I genuinely think it's the greatest video game ever made.
I really wish more of the KF crew would give it a real chance! Feels like that's always met with the "it's not for me" line, but that if they really came at it with an open mind and some time, they'd fall in love with it too.
Keep being awesome everyone!
I hope some day they have someone that likes and plays JRPGs, 2022 was a great year for JRPGs
Blessing, you’ve talked about coming into your own amongst everyone… you’ve done it right here. It’s so brilliant to see you grow since joining Kinda Funny. This episode in particular, especially seeing Tim and Gregg watching like father figures either side of you, shows how much you’ve levelled up. Look forward to seeing your future growth along with the team. Hope Kinda Funny’s year goes well 👍
Feel bad for Mike he didn’t have much to say in this gamecast but loved whenever he did speak!
I loved this episode, opened my eyes to so many great games and convinced me that I need to give Elden Ring another try...
Thank god for Janet. Both here and on MinnMax she represented Horizon with a ferocity I can be proud of. This game just did not get the praise it deserves. Everyone is so obsessed with "did it reinvent the wheel? No?" *cue Andy Toy Story meme*. Why does Horizon have to be the most groundbreaking game to be praised? Forbidden West is just the best version of Horizon we have gotten. If you like Horizon and what that game is, then I cannot understand why you would not love every second of this game. Horizon Forbidden West is a better game in every conceivable way, (except maybe the story because of the colossal revelation) and its a goddamn travesty the disrespect this game got in 2022.
In cult of the lamb, if you have the Fleece that gives you more damage for every enemy you kill. You can almost one-shot the bosses if you make it to them without getting hit from regular enemies. I found it took some time but it wasn't that hard really.
Even though I personally don't agree with most of this list, the variety in games this year is nice to see.
My top 10 would be
1. Grounded 1.0
2. Pentiment
3. GOW Ragnarok
4. Trails from Zero
5. Nobody Saves the World
6. A Plague Tale Requiem
7. Sonic Frontiers
8. Tunic
9. High on Life
10. FF7 Crisis Core Reunion
yea a lot more indie games which is nice
I WANNA KNOW HOW HIGH MIKE HAD HIS CHAIR UP LMAO 🤣
Random but I appreciate how diverse Kinda Funny is.
Is there any way i can get the background of video game characters as a picture/ file? 😮 It looks really cool ❤
MAn i fucking love this show. Yall always bring me genuine joy and laughs. Janet shirt is fire. Need to know where you got it lol
Very excite !
This was so great
Great list!
SnowBikeMike's Top 10:
1. Elden Ring
2. God of War Ragnarok
3. Kirby & The Forgotten Land
4. Cuphead DLC
5. CoD MWII
6. Gran Turismo 7
7. Shredders
8. OlliOlli World
9. Stray
10. Nobody Saves The World
Great list Mike. Love to see Cuphead DLC and Gran Turismo 7 on there! ❤
Proud of you gang 💙
Glad to see HFW in top 5 (but sad to see it was the most negatively discussed of any other game in the top 10).
I do not hear many people talk about HFW arena challenges. I thought it was a very interesting idea but worldwide leaderboards are not usually my thing and those times felt impossible to beat. I do not know how people set those records.
Vegas was a stand out moment with stand out characters, but that was not the only moment. Flying for the first time and being able to pick up EMP bombs to drop on enemies just because. All the moments with Kotallo but especially in the beginning when he brings all that tension. The singing land gods. Regalla. I can go on.
HFW also started an interesting question about what is love and what does love look like. There are questions about if Elizabeth's lover really love her.
However, this conversation around GoWR really challenge me on what my GotY. I thought it was HFW, but this conversation reminded how GoWR has some really good lines and moments that will stick with me. I will never forget the scene where Aloy realizes it is Rost still pushing her forward, but those lines will not stick with me as much as Brock talking about the nature of a thing being more important than the form. Thank you. I appreciate how this discussion made me reevaluate my own opinions.
I wasn't a fan of the melee combat. It was improved but still a bit messy to me but the challenges were great tutorials/ I didn't mention the flight cause it's a bit spoilery.
I will say we were plenty negative on Pokemon Scarlet/violet. I think one reason you don't hear more negatives on our other games is 1. some folks may not have played it 2. depending on timing for a list like this most of us defer to folks who liked it rather than didn't. so I think this was more negative because everyone had opinions on it
Thanks for watching and giving your two cents.
@@Gameonysus I did not mind the melee combat. Though I might not have used it as much as others since I usually stealth or arrow my way around things. Still, when things went sideways and I had to fight my way out of a situation, it still felt good. If they can make it better I am all for it. My biggest issue with the game is not having underwater combat. It feels like they have a lot of underwater areas you can explore, but having no underwater combat made me only do the things underwater needed for the Platinum. I hope they add that for the next game.
I apologize. You are right. The conversation around Scarlet & Violet was plenty negative. It just feels like HFW is judge a bit too harshly (not just here). I really hope more people give it a try or pick it up again.
I enjoyed watching. Thanks for making my two cents feel like it was worth something.
This was a great presentation for Game of The Year.
For me, I would have picked Marvel Midnight Suns over Marvel Snap. I only played Snap for a week before burning out. Midnight Suns got it’s claws in me and I was excited about Platinuming it.
Thanks for sharing all of your thoughts, Kinda Funny Crew!
Agreed for Marvel's midnight suns over snap.
great podcast
Just a few minutes in an already excited, buy Andy and Mike need to drop those seats lol
i was sitting on a barstool because we ran out of chairs. my tailbone is in pain.
Where is Xenoblade Chronicles 3? 😢
Parris saying Garlic is a crutch in Vampire Survivors really hurt my soul...
Yo that outro screen with the black n white is cold as ice
Would have liked a point breakdown graphic on the desk while Barrett spouted numbers.
Stray was my favorite of the year
Shout out to the production team. Both during the recording and while posting.
The i can't so this because its too good and addictive is strange to me. I feel like if Blessing just played Vampire Survivors more it would for sure be on his list with the crazy end game stuff.
Long-time fan here! First off, so happy to see an amazing year of games celebrated by an incredible crew of video game experts and lovers. Loved hearing your thoughts on the games and what they brought to your life and gaming experiences in 2022.
That said, given your amazing track record of warning about major spoilers, I was really bummed out to get so many major God of War Ragnarok spoilers thrown out in the span of a few seconds with zero warning. Because of this, now I don't get to experience those surprises myself.
I know you cover games for a living and get excited, and maybe I should have just turned off the video quicker after the first spoiler. That said, you could even tell how uncomfortable the team was with how those spoilers got thrown out there.
Maybe I should have performed more diligence as a fan who hadn't completed GoW Ragnarok, but whoever is to blame for my experience, I know Kratos said "Don't be sorry, be better.", so hopefully all of us can be better at avoiding/discussing spoilers in 2023.
Cheers and much love, thank you for what you do
Glad to see I'm not alone in this feeling, regarding the spoilers. I wasn't too worried about it because they did a great job avoiding spoilers on all the way up until Ragnarok. Greg really does seem unable to help himself and it can be really frustrating at times. 😖
@@CatGuyNeko Totally with you my friend.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to hate on Greg, but like you it totally caught me off guard. I know he probably just got so excited doing what he loves it slipped out.
I know the team listens to fan feedback so that’s why it felt necessary to say something.
Again, much love to Greg and the team for what they do! ❤️
Great Video, especially since the Ratchet and Clank debacle from last year. Elden Ring is easily #1 for mine but great to hear everyone's views.
Elden Ring is not a game I played or intend to play (not my cup of tea), but the one I was most interested to see where it landed considering I knew Greg, Tim, and Janet didn't have it in their top 10. Great show and great list! Kudos to Barrett for a spectacular production!
I think that's what's most impressive about it. A game 3 people didn't put on their list was still #2. The power of FROMSOFTWARE!
@@TheAndyCortez absolutely! Parris was the ringer for sure, I thought Barrett might have it at 3 or 4 but Parris putting it at #2 was unexpected but cool.
@@TheAndyCortez the power of From Software is being a generation behind graphically and still not being able to create a stable frame rate.
@@basedplants A strong art style goes a lot further than graphics. Callisto protocol looks great but it's completely forgettable.
@@reed1645 that's not a defense, plenty of games have great graphics technically and artistically, along with great performance. Stans just retreat behind "art style" because FromSoft is a technically poor developer and can't do cutting edge graphics or performance.
Mike is out here lookin like a year one greg miller.
Incredible show
Scrolling the comments to see if anyone mentioned Parris’ Aloy pronunciation 😂(love ya Parris)
Haha I did notice that at the time but I'm like eh it's close enough. Not worth "correcting" to break up the flow of the convo.
i'm an hour and twenty-four minutes in and Mike still hasn't said a word... OH! There he goes!
Yuuussss love the katana zero shout-out!!!! Yeah would love a sequel. Limited run games was supposed to make a physical copy. That was announced like over 2 years ago tho still no update
I think they are waiting for the dlc which still hasn't come
You guys should do a top 15 for 2023 since it’s so stacked.
Great show guys!
Thanks!
@@TheAndyCortez Thank you guys for making awesome content and building a cool community
This is KFG Vol. 2, Episode 161 (Episode 413 overall)
Great vid guys 👍minor nitpick but I wish they showed some gameplay/b-roll while they discussed each game. Again- minor nitpick, still enjoyed everything.
Man, I just did not get into Immortality or Sifu like y'all did.
Personally
1. Horizon Forbidden West
2. Bayonetta 3
3. Kirby & The Forgotten Land
4. Tunic
5. Multiversus
6. Fortnite No-Build
7. Tinykin
8. Vampire Survivors
9. Stray
10. TMNT Shredder's Revenge
I did not like Elden Ring and I only played the prologue of Ragnarok.
I’m not a fan of horizon but I respect your list only for Tunic being in the top 5 lol
Horizon was my game of the year. Felt extremely bold in it's story, and had the best combat hands down. Exploration was fantastic - the fights were varied and challenging in plenty of ways. How can iterative be used against a game when so many games are sequels?
Very cool ubisoft game for sure
Mike out here with that Fox News posture and vibe lmao
One of my favorite episodes of the year. Awesome to see everyone together!
Here's my personal list:
1. Elden Ring
2. Rogue Legacy 2
3. God of War Ragnarök
4. Tunic
5. Citizen Sleeper
6. Vampire Survivors
7. Cult of the Lamb
8. Stray
9. TMNT Shredder's Revenge
10. Prodeus
Additional thoughts: Horizon is a technical marvel, but overall pretty boring. Sifu is certainly unique, but TMNT is a better brawler. And this crew is sleeping on Rogue Legacy 2 and Citizen Sleeper (Greg and Janet would love this game).
@43:35
Greg says Immortality is on Netflix... is that true??
And how the hell did I miss this news?
I already played it off XGP, but still super cool to hear! If it is on Netflix that would make it even easier to recommend to friends and family!
Netflix mobile. No on the TV. Netflix have a bunch of mobile games
If you have Netflix they offer many games for ‘free’ on Mobile/Tablet including Immortality, Into the Breach, TMNT shredders revenge, Kentucky route zero, oxenfeee and many more. They are just really bad at advertising this for some reason.
Horizon is the most underrated franchise of all time
It's up there lowkey but the funny thing is the scores aren't underrated, just how folks talk about it.
Kinda Funny slowly becoming a From Software company is perfect. As someone who turned into a FromSoft person in 2022 I need to say this: TIM GETTYS. PLAY SEKIRO. YOU'LL LOVE IT. IT'S LITERALLY SIFU.
He did play it, months ago. It’s clearly not for him and that’s okay.
Love the crew we have, but also desperately want KF to hire someone that really loves JRPGs.
In short - I miss Imran
I think Janet’s humor is elite status. I can’t tell you how many times I cracked up watching this video and she slipped in a jab or slick joke and was completely missed. Also, that instrumental for #9, cult of the lamb, is that from the game? It’s sick!!!!
Shit I might actually have to play Kirby
"donuts"
I concur.
The top ten should be the other way on the desk. Seems counter intuitive but it makes the crazy brain feel more satisfied to see it filled it that way, it gives more importance to the the things on the left that your brain knows is missing.
This way you're just filling a clip. The other way feels like you're getting to the surface from a deep that starts at the end on the right .
Dang, no love for High on Life. Didn't even get a mention.
Nah I wasn't a big fan from my preview time. I think Bless may have beaten it. I know he was playing it.
Now I gotta play Sifu
Kinda obvious GOTY. It was already clear at the start of the year it was going to be a battle between ER en GOW R. ER is gonna win pretty much everywhere because of its industry impact and the masterpiece it is. The impact GOW 2018 had. GOW R is going to be just behind it because it has the 'more of the same' sentiment. On the other hand GOW R is going to clean up at Kinda Funny, just because a few people dont even play From games AT ALL. Im actually surprised ER was able to beat Sifu.
Anyway, amazing show and congratz on the production value. This was truly awesome
Listening to this at work and wasn't paying enough attention, so hearing Andy telling someone to touch his stool and complaining his arse will be sore all week had me very confused.
