Journey is utter brilliance

[Rabid Toilet]

Just finished the game. Wow. Worth every penny.

As far as the price tag goes, really? Don't you people ever go see a movie? $15 for 2-3 hours of entertainment is not that bad. Especially when it's the kind of experience that will stick with you forever.

If you are even remotely interested in games as art, if you enjoyed games like Okami, Ico, and Shadow of the Colossus, you owe it to yourself to play this game.

Just played through it a second time.

Damn.

Just damn. This game is beautiful.

Played it last week the second it was released for psplus users and I was blown away. Easily one of the most meaningful experiences gaming has to offer.
And I know that the 15 dollar price tag might be a bit steep for some people, but it really is worth it. I´ve played through it four times now and it just keeps getting better.

I'm going to have to do a second playthrough pretty soon. For my first one, I actually had my internet turned off. I wanted to experience the game without any outside involvement. I was worried having other players showing up would ruin the feel of the game.

From the sound of it though, that's not the case. It seems like it really adds a whole new dynamic to the game, which I still need to experience.

Oh man, totally.

It's an amazing experience.

Cool story bro. I?ll check it out if you can tell me how big is the game? No not like the world big but like how big is the actual download for this game.

About 500MB.

I thought it would have been bigger, to be honest.

Okay cool thanks man the next time I deside to play on my PS3 I'll check it out. From what I've seen sofar the game looks very lonely and the sliding down the dunes looks fun.

It's a brilliant experience, you won't be disappointed.

All I could think when playing Journey was "eat your heart out Uncharted 3" (regarding the sand).

Flow was okay.

Flower could've been great, but it got bogged down by it's depressive nature in the later levels.

But Jenova Chen hit it out of the fucking park with Journey. That game was soul-fulfillingly beautiful. It's like they took Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, and perfectly merged them together into a colourful bite-sized experience.

Probably the best way to describe the game

It may not be long, but every single second is brilliant.

I thought it's length was perfect.

I'd compare it to Portal in that regard; It has a flawless pacing from beginning to end. It never out stays its welcome, and never feels cut short.

And because it's only 1,5 to 2 hours long you'll most likely finish it in one sitting, which is the best way to experience it.

I want to play it but $15 for a 2 hour game? And no demo? You must be crazy.

Yeah, I just can't justify that myself.

 

[Electric Alpaca]

I intend to collect this along with flOw and Flower over the next couple of days.

They will provide a good counterpoint to Twisted Metal that I purchased earlier in the week and have yet to play.

These types of games (flOw et al) I personally believe we owe to ourselves to purchase and prove that alternatives to killing can be accepted in the spectrum of videogaming.

Like I've said before, don't you ever go to the movies? A 2 hour movie can easily run you $15. And that's even for terrible movies.

This game is absolutely worth your time and money.

I don't go to the movies to see a movie, I go to the movies for the social experience with my friends. To experience the anticipation of the show starting, to go to dinner afterwards, to play DDR in the arcade before. The movie itself is inconsequential.

Plus, Sony hasn't really shown they can be trusted with my credit card.
