Fran and Andrea have played a bunch of Anthem, and Div 2 was Greg's most anticipated game of 2019Is it worth even watching gamescast? I doubt they've played enough of Apex, Division 2 or Anthem to have impressions.
Guess it depends on who's on

Will check it out thenFran and Andrea have played a bunch of Anthem, and Div 2 was Greg's most anticipated game of 2019

Andy's played on ton of Apex and Anthem, Fran's played a ton of Anthem and they both dabbled in The Division so...yes?Is it worth even watching gamescast? I doubt they've played enough of Apex, Division 2 or Anthem to have impressions.
Fran played 40 hours of the anthem demo/beta. Andy and Fran played a good amount of Apex. Only Greg played Division 2 so not really much about that.Is it worth even watching gamescast? I doubt they've played enough of Apex, Division 2 or Anthem to have impressions.

Good to hear, just gets tiring when most haven't played a game or played only 90 minutes of one to then do a discussion on it.Fran played 40 hours of the anthem demo/beta. Andy and Fran played a good amount of Apex. Only Greg played Division 2 so not really much about that.
The fact that nobody at Kinda Funny even bothered to touch Guacamelee 2 is a damn shame. That was literally one of the best games to come out last year and is a good example of how Greg isn't the PlayStation guy anymore.I get the feeling Greg likes to keep his and Gen's work separate. Like he hardly talked about The Messenger (Tim did, but I can't remember Greg ever saying anything) or Guacamelee 2 even though he's in the damn game. I imagine coming from a journalism background he's probably concerned about conflicts of interest and stuff like that.
But I agree, I think it's part of the industry that rarely gets a mention so it'd be interesting to hear her talk about it.

Also, complaining about review codes is the biggest "I'm out of touch" thing anyone can do and I cringe every time I see an industry person do it.
You have to also remember that Portillo and Greg.... er, Shirtless Arachnid-Man.... is in the game. Maybe that's also part of it. Also, I'm a bit confused why him not playing the game is a reason he's no longer the PlayStation guy. I don't think the series is that associated with PlayStation. The original might've had some sort of timed exclusivity, but it's very much a multiplatform franchise.
The game was out for months and months before he was added, so he did have ample opportunity to play it. I would say Guacamelee is pretty heavily associated with PlayStation due to Colin and Greg championing it so heavily upon its release. Also, Guacamelee 2 was console exclusive to PS4 for like 4 months. If that's not enough to be associated with PlayStation I don't know what is. In the Beyond days he would have been all over it. Him ignoring the sequel just kinda feels endemic of a larger problem; like he's losing that special quality he once had where he and Colin would unearth plenty of less-talked about gems on PlayStation consoles. I honestly don't remember the last time he really got behind an obscure PlayStation title. These days it's all GAAS, blockbusters, and indie games that everybody else has been hyping up already. IDK it just feels like he's lost touch with the ecosystem.
Tastes can change. Him not being a Playstation guy is fine. He's pretty much a Switch guy now. That's where he plays the smaller games.
Why is it a bad thing that they don't cover exclusively PS anymore? Because that's their background from like 4 years ago? I mainly play PS but honest think I prefer the wider coverage than just a single-console focus.
KFGD replaced PS I Love You. While them covering wider topics was expected but them glossing over PS news that they used to cover over and over was not.
None of that is bad mind you, but I think it is fine to point out, just like we used to point out that they are PS fans when they used to.
They may not be PlayStation fans anymore but you have to admit they make great content for all the people who like to play indie games on Switch while on an airplane.
I'm a huge Playstation fan, but I don't see the problem with them branching out
And I would argue that they ARE still fans of Playstation, Greg gets roasted TO THIS DAY for his Spider-Man stanning, called God of War 2018 his favorite game of all time, still hunts trophies, etc.
I for one am shocked that one of the biggest proponents of the Vita likes portable gaming.
It's almost like PS has stopped serving that particular niche so he has moved on to a competitor....
And he counted down the days to Spider-Man PS4 on his Twitter with a new Shirtless Spider-Man pic every day
Gary Whitta and Jared Petty have given him a few ribbings about it
I'm not trying to call him a paid shill, don't get me wrong
EDIT: Oh yeah and he has a Spider-Man PS4 Twitter banner too LOL
Anyway, that's not the point, was just trying to highlight that Greg, Tim, Andrea, etc. are still fans of Playstation, especially their first party games, they're just not afraid to call out Sony when they do shitty stuff or talk about games they're playing and enjoying on other platforms
Don't forget Greg also had an "X days to Red Dead" and look how that turned out for him.
As someone who recently played their Switch on a plane for the first time, I agree, their content is exponentially better after that experience.They may not be PlayStation fans anymore but you have to admit they make great content for all the people who like to play indie games on Switch while on an airplane.
To be fair, it's not even remotely just indie games when it comes to Greg. I feel like he's moaned about wanting every game he's interested in to be on the Switch, purely because he can play it on aeroplanes. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't started complaining that PlayStation exclusives aren't on the Switch yet. It's completely understandable though, the guy travels a whole bunch. IDK I just feel a disconnect with some of his content these days when being able to play a game on a flight is his biggest talking point, right next to an all-streaming future. Honestly, it basically all comes back to him being in such a bubble.I for one am shocked that one of the biggest proponents of the Vita likes portable gaming.

Same thought. Greg means well, but Tim is right, there are things now a days that are black and white, right and wrong. There is no discussion to be had regarding being a bigot/racist/homophobe/etc.Boy Greg should probably try to avoid talking on the social issues questions, you can tell how nervous he is about them and his answers just come across as naive. Tim did great on that question though.
I too thought it was weird and actually came hear to see if anyone made a thread about it (not saying it needed one). I know Greg means well but the whole time I was thinking dude, just no. Agreed on Tim.Boy Greg should probably try to avoid talking on the social issues questions, you can tell how nervous he is about them and his answers just come across as naive.

GO FOR IT!

I think it was yesterday's Games Daily?
I'm sure Andrea could do with the ego boostI look forward to the inevitable semantics battle they have on a future Games Daily. They're going to ask Kevin or Barrett to decide who wins and they're going to pick Andrea and it's going to be fun.
Gregs excited to see what they'll do with streaming etc, but yeah no idea why he keeps saying they'll "win"With first party games like Crackdown 3 receiving a stellar 60 on Metacritic, it's easy to see why Microsoft is definitely going to win the next generation as Greg and co. keep saying.
They are surprisingly out of touch for people who's job it is to keep up to date with the gaming industry.With first party games like Crackdown 3 receiving a stellar 60 on Metacritic, it's easy to see why Microsoft is definitely going to win the next generation as Greg and co. keep saying.
