    Been replaying the game with my shiny new ~WHITE COAT~ so I can help people on their Journey.

    But I'm also afraid of ruining the experience for new players since I know how to avoid the colossi so easily so maybe I should stop

    Wait. Is this some sort of Shadow of the Colossus-esque game!?

    Yeah I agree. It was excellently paced. Not to say I wouldn't have loved more Journey, but I'm more than content with how much we got.

    I really want to get this but I'd have to update my PS3 first and I'm not ready for that commitment right now.

    Plus it's really short so I might wait for a sale.

    It's 15 bucks

    very slightly more than the cost of a shorter movie

    My new favorite game.

    I'm almost toying with the idea of getting a tattoo of my character's symbol from my first playthrough.

    Really not too sure about that, though.

    I'm probably gonna hold off on this. My backlog of stuff to play is getting larger. But I love the idea of it, and I'll definitely pick it up soon.

    How long is the game, out of curiosity?

    Obviously the length of the first playthrough depends, but I was just wondering what a rough estimate of time it was. Can you finish it in one sitting?

    Yes you can easily finish it in one sitting, I'd estimate your first playthrough at between 1 and 2 hours.


    This game's a work of art, honestly.

    Oh definitely.

    I want to put my run through time as 2 hours? Maybe a bit more/less?

    I want to play this game

    I will probably buy it tonight

    I would easily pay $10 more for it if it DID actually play "Don't Stop Believin'" over the ending credits (or at any point during the game, really)

    Read a little bit about this. So you can meet up with other players online for a bit, but you don't know anything about them before you go your separate ways?

    For $15 this is well worth the money

    this game...is amazing and almost nearly perfect in every way.

    But there's always more people to meet. That's the way the wheel in the sky keeps on turning.

    Yes, other players can appear in your game, but you can only communicate through chirps and tones, so you can't tell who the person is while you're playing together.

    At the end of the game you're shown a list of the people you played with though.

    Considering I spend nearly the entire game with the same player, mine was fairly small.

    Roy Ascott imagined an era of art in which the lines of telecommunication were both the medium and the message, and in which stories emerged from telepresence. Journey is the modern commercial realisation of that. But the wonderful thing is, you don't have to think about any of this as you are sliding down a great sand dune, interweaving with a stranger, intermittently bouncing sound icons between each other; and, of course, you don't have to think about art when you look at an amazing painting by Titian, or Monet or Picasso. Whatever you feel is the most important thing. That isn't pretentious, that's sort of beautiful.

    Convince me that's not just some useless, flowery platitude.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
