Journey

So, anyone got it? I'm considering buying it soon. Only thing holding me back is that I'd be paying for a game that people have pointed out can be done in less than an hour, and usually takes roughly 1-3 hours regardless. Despite that, the reviews are glowing so I'll probably be tempted to shell out the cash tonight. :)

Reminds me a lot of Prince of Persia by the visuals. It looks really good! Had I a PS3 I would definitely download this. I could justify paying for a short game that has a lot of substance.

I bought it a few days ago (got it a little early due to playstation plus). The game is definitely the best indie game I have ever played, and it is among my favorite all-time games. I've personally beat it about 3 times and watched 2 other people play it all the way through. I say it is worth the 15 bucks even if one playthrough is short (which is about 1:30 - 2 hours for the first playthrough). I say buy it.

Looks gorgeous but last I heard it was a PS3 exclusive. I don't own a PS3!

Bought it, played it, don't regret it. Wow, that is one hell of a unique game, and I hope to see more games like it over time. This is the kind of game they could do over and over with different areas and stuff and it would still be amazing, although something tells me they won't, because they will want to do something new again. Which is great, because thatgamecompany are amazing. I think I'll play again today and will get Danielle to play it when she gets home.

My first thought after finished was that I felt like my character just got married or something. xD

I've been interested in Journey for quite a while now. I'll probably check it out later after I've finished my backlog.

The game is definitely an experience. I have found that it is really hard to describe the game though. I've had a few friends ask me what it is like, and my trying to describe the game always makes it seem kind of boring. Once they play it though, they usually leave thinking it's one of the best games they have played. It is really interesting seeing different people's experiences with the game though. Every play through I have seen has been a pretty different experience from the last.

Getting it as soon as I get back to my ps3.

I was going to buy it because everyone tells me how good and life changing it is, but then last night I was in gamestop preordering assassins creed 3 and the guy would not shut up about it. I held a $20 in my hand for over 30 minutes waiting for him to stop talking so I could pay and go home. Also there was a family behind me in line waiting. That guy needs to shut his mouth.

So what you're telling me is that you can't afford to buy it right now because you are too busy spending your money on a game that comes out in October. =|

No, I can afford, I'm just not going to buy it because that guy annoyed me to heck.

Oh, that's sensible. I hate it when people like games, too. And when people like games a lot, I know I won't! It's a good way of going about things. :up:

So you're saying you wouldn't be frustrated for a while if someone held you up for a half an hour talking about a game you already told them you were planning on buying?

And what if he raved on about Assassin's Creed III? :p Would you not buy that, too?

Yes. Not at that gamestop anyways.
