Get this game. It's only $14.99 and it's out on the PSN already. All I can say to describe this amazing game is... it's just beautiful.

What's the game play like? I'm not sure why everyone is saying this game is beautiful...I think they mean beige?!?

When did PSN start sending spam, I got a message with a link to the store for this game...

About time someone posted this!

I'm kind of convinced its one of the best games I've ever played. But its not really a game - its more of an experience, or more than that. There are so many ways the 'story' can be interpreted too.. I could go on and on, but people, if you aren't adrenaline junkies, buy this game.

because it is a beautiful visual game. but maybe it's one of them type of games that you really need to try for yourself to see how nice it is. the game play is simple but really good too... but the point in the game is really it's artistic side. but honestly it's a wonderful game. only reason not to buy it is if you don't care for artistic games. *mew

What's the game play like? I'm not sure why everyone is saying this game is beautiful...I think they mean beige?!?

When did PSN start sending spam, I got a message with a link to the store for this game...

1) It's "beautiful" because it isn't another generic "Captain BigGuns, destroy the enemies nuke with you super pistol!" game. The objective is not really to get to a certain spot by destroying or solving complex puzzles, but rather, to explore your surroundings, something that games usually don't allow you to do. Add the great scenery, and exploring in Journey is eye candy.

2) You can recommend it to friends. You can recommend any game or download to a friend by visiting the PSN Store and clicking on "Recommend" on the download page.

because it is a beautiful visual game. but maybe it's one of them type of games that you really need to try for yourself to see how nice it is. the game play is simple but really good too... but the point in the game is really it's artistic side. but honestly it's a wonderful game. only reason not to buy it is if you don't care for artistic games. *mew

Well, yes, the visuals make the game, but it's much more than that. The music adds to the atmosphere, and the story gives people a chance to use their imagination without the fear of getting a "wrong answer". Basically, your interpretation of the story is the right answer.

"But wait, they were too lazy to come up with a story?" No. They built up a "base" for your imagination to start off. As the story develops, you fit in what you think is happening, what the world you're in is, and what the ending means. The music encourages you to fill in those "Oh, so this must be the [happy, dramatic, sad] part!"

However, the online is my favorite part. No game that I played has been able to make cooperation both enjoyable and "magical". You don't use words, only sounds (O) to communicate, yet it's effective. and necessary. Even though you're both silent, you can "feel" each other urgency, ideas, and appreciation. The fact that there's no PSN IDs floating over you like "xXx5N1P3RxXx" makes it feel like you're really exploring a new world with a person, not a dead-weight or a sidekick with a good K/D ratio. And in the end, when you both finish your quests, you finally get to see their names and think "Hmm... maybe I should add them?" and other thoughts (hopefully positive ones).

It's a bit difficult to explain, but if I had to tell you if it's worth the price, then I'll make it simple: if all you really care about is Trophies and other self-accomplishments, then this game isn't for you. If you love games for its content and experiences, then you might want to try this masterpiece.

before people disregard this as probably being just eye candy and boring, it's not. It's a game you have to play to understand, that trailer does the game no justice, you need to play it to understand.

Journey was definitely a eye opener for me, god why aren't there more games like it?

It is a great game btw. I was just stating the length of ONE playthrough. It is a game you will want to go through multiple times, and it's cyclical nature makes this quite easy and fun to do.

It certainly sounds interesting and the online part reminds me a little of Dark Souls but without all the screaming and dying. I did enjoy both Flow and Flower so I guess I'll enjoy this game too.

It takes around 2 hours to complete I guess. Maybe more or less depending on the areas. I do wish there was more, but the length was fine.

It's breathtaking, and I've already gone through it a couple times.

I just wish that at the end when you went through the mountain you appear at the start of the desert again. Like... not transported there, but there is a whole other desert at the top and thats the reason you keep replaying. Would of made no sense logically sure, but it doesn't have to

This is honestly one of the best games I've played recently. While the visuals are incredibly beautiful, as is the music, I'm more surprised that thatgamecompany made walking through huge deserts fun!
The sense of exploration, along with the flying and speed of some areas of play make the environments a joy to behold. The fact that all the desert sections all seem completely original is another big plus for me. Exploring with your unnamed companions is even more fun (especially when they've played the game before and know where the unique symbols are

) and the fact that your character is also unnamed means you can place yourself in their shoes, which is especially powerful later in the game.
Overall, you need this game, because while it is an incredible experience, it is still an incredible game.

And this is the part where our interpretations of the story conflict. I'll start the showdown:

http://i39.tinypic.com/2cpuz9z.png

I like being a star! Take your Inception logic and leave my glorious ending alone you filthy casual.

Hahaha, being a star is LAME i tell you! LAAAAME.

Anyway it's not about the ending, it's about the journey.

See what I did there!? DO YOU SEE IT!? It's very clever and easy to miss.

AHAHAHA! Keep telling yourself that champ. Enjoyed your Modern Warfare series? SPOILER ALERT: SNAPHERD KILLS DUMBLESOAP!

As for your infinite Journey logic, it's pointless. The star ending gives everybody closure, knowing that they just finished their journey (with a friend, if they had one). Take that away and leave your "IT WAS A DREAM, OR WAS IT?!?! XD" ending, and it would have made the journey as pointless as Mass Effect 3's decision based system. Your future journeys won't be about helping others reach the glorious stardom that you reached, but instead a never ending hell of an infinite loop of journeys. There is no closure, there is no point, and there is no ending. It's unacceptable.

Well I can say i did not like the ending myself on this game. but i'm not gonna argue about it.

Everyone is free to like or dislike what they want~ ...But i agree with what a friend told me. it's more then the ending being bad or not. what really sucks is that the game had a ending at all. xD *mew

And that, is the kind of player reaction developers should always strive for!

Well clearly all game's stories have to end sooner or later. it's just a joke that shows how much a fan loved the game.

Also,

No idea why you mentioned MW3. Though it does give me an idea of your age.

No idea why you mentioned MW3. Though it does give me an idea of your age.

It also gives me the idea that you don't care about a good plot, which is why I brought up MW3: you didn't buy it for the story, you bought it for the pointless multiplayer action portion of the game. Also:

Yes, I enjoyed my MP which is essentially a map pack.

this post provides backs up my statement above.

Didn't mention anything about a dream. You must of dreamt it.

I referenced your looped ending suggestion to Inception because Inception is heavily based on dreams within dreams, and its ending is just like that: it was all a dream. Since you didn't mind my use of Inception as my analogy, I used the dream concept of it to fuel my argument.

This literally makes no sense at all. Think about it - I bought a game with a crap story, so ignored the story and only played the MP. This proves I don't care about a good plot? No, no it doesn't. Infact it may even suggest the opposite. [spoiler alert; it is the opposite]

There's no point talking about MW3 though because this is a thread on Journey, plus I'll no doubt agree with almost all the points you make. It's a cash in, more of the same, etc etc etc. I still enjoy it, and at the end of the day that's what matters when I play games.

I only brought up MW3 as an example of why your "taste" in storytelling wasn't the most credible one in this thread. But you said it yourself: you don't like its story, so that statement itself disproves my "you don't know a good plot, etc. etc." argument. Why we're dragging MW3 on with this conversation, I have no idea (ironically, majority of our posts are about why we brought it up in the first place).

Okay? So you made your assumptions fact to make your argument valid?

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0p8tjWYpj1ql8wa5.jpg

No, I didn't. I used my assumptions as leverage to make my argument more reasonable than yours. Let's say someone in the thread didn't know who we were, and they just happened to stumble onto the thread. By pointing out flaws and giving counter-statements to your argument, I'm making my side of the argument seem like a more logical and more credible one. Of course, it's a dirty tactic to just "dumb down" everything you say, which is why I build up my argument of why the star ending is better: to reach closure.

Also, I don't use images to degrade your posts: I use my posts to do that. Any images I use are either reactions to your statements, or they're added for comical effect. If you're going to be using captioned images to give yourself more leverage in this debate, then you might as well throw in the towel and call it quits.

Think I may of used double negatives in my post and confused you a bit sorry. I love it, and story is usually a very important aspect in my games, unless said game isn't about story [BF3, MW3, TF2 etc]. Or the story isn't really that interesting to me but the game itself is great [Elder Scrolls series, Splinter Cell series, etc, imo obv].
I like the 'story' in this game, as it's of the same vein of ICO and SotC. Up to interpretation, though those 2 games have a little more depth albeit.

Hey Cyber, ryan was just pointing out an ending he would've enjoyed to see with no hate for the actual ending, he didn't mean to offend, it was just his opinion. You really had no reason to attack him, and truthfully this argument is going no where with both you of so firmly holding on to your beliefs.

How about you guys go back to talking about how awesome the game is, as it's quite clear you both love it.

Attack... what?

And this is the part where our interpretations of the story conflict. I'll start the showdown:

http://i39.tinypic.com/2cpuz9z.png

Anyway it's not about the ending, it's about the journey.

See what I did there!? DO YOU SEE IT!? It's very clever and easy to miss.

He clearly knows I'm not attacking him, but instead engaging in an over exaggerated argument (or at least I assume he knows this).

You really had no reason to attack him, and truthfully this argument is going no where with both you of so firmly holding on to your beliefs.

You really had no reason to attack him

....

Why? Why does everybody always have to take everything way too seriously? Is it because my sense of humor is different than everybody here on LBPC, or do I just need to be more clear about my jokes and high-jinks by ending all of my sentences with "LOL JK

" like the average Facebook user nowadays?

Honestly, this is just, odd. For once, I'm not confused, or sorry that I have accidentally offended someone or mislead them. No. I'm irritated by this post. What happened to LBPCentral? What happened to our ability to talk about anything and yet still have fun, long, and/or meaningless conversations? How did the rules become more strict over the years, where the rules used to be:

• stay on topic

but are now:

• stay on topic, but don't conflict with other people's opinions
• no inappropriate content, even if it's on topic
• no insult each other, no matter how wrong, insensitive, or unfriendly the other person is (yes, the rule was established long ago, but we were able to tell off trolls before mods locked threads; now you get banned for it)

and so on. This isn't aimed towards you, so don't get miffed about it: people have been acting like this towards me since New Year's. However, I am saying that I'm just fed up with this. I can't even discuss about one of my favorite games without someone jumping in and trying to stop it. I was on topic, and you know it, but if all you want to do in this thread is just "love" the game and not discuss about it, then fine: have the thread.

Oh, and no: I'm not joking. I think it was pretty obvious I wasn't joking throughout the entire post, but I guess people will be mislead by anything I say unless I confirm it.

EDIT: Before I leave:

Think I may of used double negatives in my post and confused you a bit sorry. Story is usually a very important aspect in my games, unless said game isn't about story [BF3, MW3, TF2 etc]. Or the story isn't really that interesting to me but the game itself is great [Elder Scrolls series, Splinter Cell series, etc, imo obv].

True. I merely pointed out your flaws in your posts to keep the conversation going. IMO, I do think a game's story is important, but if its gameplay isn't great, then it's not really an A+ game to begin with.

But... it was based off of something you said, not me. Everything from there is just.... oh let's just drop it lol.

Sure, why not? Although, I did enjoy the debate. I hate people circklejerking each other with the same opinions of something, so I try to start things like this so I can hear what they think, and not what everybody else bandwagons. Dam shame I don't see these type of conversations anymore.

You can't say that with that Bam gif, lol.

Okay, I just added that because it looked awesome. You can never go wrong with a mic drop!

Back on topic...

I got obsessed with the last game thatgamecompany made, so this was a shoe-in for me. Journey is so simple in design (your character walks, jumps/flies and chirps), but it's absolutely beautiful in execution. The environments and the moods they evoke (won't say anything cuz it'll spoil things) are just so empowering, especially when with an unknown player (ideas they ought to do more of now these days instead of shooting and/or stabbing said player). It's as much a piece of art as it is a testament to innovation, even in the simplest of ways.

I really hope more people pick up this game, so that they too can experience the journey...

There is nothing simple about this short game. There is nothing simple about the short time we all share on this Earth.

What Journey does so effectively is take all the dis-simularities out of the equation. There are no ways to be different. There is a shared enviornment/culture/history (and or prophecy), and ultimately Life, our existence, is given meaning and we are comforted by our actions. ThatGamecompany has given the PS3 market and incredible world to exist in. There really only exists joy, wonder, and awe while in-game.

All the components of the game are masterful and work to unify the premise... Life is a journey to oft over-looked... not so, here.

And the Journey is all the more memorable when shared. I lost a partner once all the way up-top... I called and waited, felt exhausted and hoarse... but the real killer was the absence of the response... at last I crossed-over alone. And yes that 'loss' and 'sorrow' were real feelings as well.

This is a must play game!

Very early on near the end of the game where you climb up the waterfalls I lost track of my buddy and made it to the top alone and entered the light. Ten minutes into the game my buddy disintegrated. I assume he disconnected. The second guy followed me through the game. I don't claim to know what the game is but I sure as hell loved it.

On my third or 4th playthrough... I had that, I've seen it all hardened game veteran air of confidence about me. Then I met a white-cloaked traveler who implored me to sit and meditate with him or her. After about two minutes, he disintergrated and turned to sand where we sat. I figured I knew what it meant... but I sure hadn't seen it all.

Even the movements of players are poetic and exacting. Part-bird, part-marine mammal, this (to me) is also carried over to the bird-like chirps and whistles coupled with an underwater sonar-like chimes.

The huddled trek upward and onward against the wind... I swear I could recall that same behaviour in a distant dream or PBS documentary... or memory. The galapagos? maybe?

Whatever the case, this game struck a chord in me the way only Art can. Be it your favorite movie, book or music, this game may soon rank up there in your own personal pantheon.

I am a playstation+ subscriber and have thus far been very happy for the experience. Some weeks there is absolutely nothing offered that captures my attention. Getting my hands on this game a week early made me really appreciate the service. I can not say enough good things about this game. Back in the day, every system upon introduction was looking for its big killer-ap, PS3 now has a downloadable one! I think it's that important of an experience.

IMO in the shiny place at the mountain top at the end is a Cheeseburger... my hooded person wanted the Cheeseburger really bad... but the other white hooded guys did not want me to have it. so they shot me outta a cannon back to the beginning... you have no idea how mad my hooded person was at that moment... so close yet so far... she was really hungry too... :0 and now has to do the whole journey again to try to get the magical Cheeseburger at the shiny place at the mountain top...

Just finished this game.

Spoiler:
So I'm guessing that shooting star thing is you and you're on this continuous loop sort of thing.

The first time I actually saw someone, I hid behind a rock

. The one thing I hate in games like this, is that I want to experience it at MY pace, and if an experienced player joins you, they start rushing through it likes there no tomorrow. Luckily I only came across a couple like that.

Can't you sign out of PSN and play solo to avoid people?

Luckily, I was fortunate enough that 90% of the players I came across, seemed to be playing it for the 1st time too. I didn't want to avoid people entirely.

The best part is the communication. When we're at the end part (Trying to avoid spoilers) we kept on letting out quiet beeps of encouragement. (At least that's what I thought we were doing.) We'd beep when we found glyph's or scarf piece things. We explored a TON too. Plus we were both on our first time through. (We stuck together from the first puzzle till the end.)
Now to go find the desert flower....

I loved every minute of Journey. My friends were bugging me to play it, and I kept saying "it's too nice outside, I'll play it tomorrow"... so we finally had a rainy day and I sat down and played it... no.... experienced it.

I played alone the first time, and the game was beautiful, but I didn't really see why everyone was saying it was so amazing.
Then, I woke up the next morning and decided to play online.

Oh. That's what they were talking about.

I met a guy in the slide level and he stayed with me through the whole game. It was really awkward at first and I thought he would leave me. I was a noob and didn't know what I was doing. He stayed with me to the very end, though, and at the end, I lost him in the water fall level. He was calling me, I was calling him... I climbed to the very top and waited for him, still calling.

We ended up finishing the level together after being separated, and I was just happy to see him by the end. He and I drew hearts in the sand before we entered the light, lol....

Honestly.... great game! I wish I were playing it right now.
