I forgot to mention this nice little detail I'm sure most of you didn't notice.
The attention to detail is amazing.
woops... spoiler tags broke lol
If you get to the top of the tower where the white figure shows you the "journey" and you are by yourself, it will only show 1 figure falling at the end of the mural. If you have two, it shows you and your partner.

I think that the part
is possibly my favorite part in a video game, ever. Can't remember the chapter number, so sorry for the lame description
where there's the long slide with the sun setting and the amazing music playing

I think it's chapter 3.
Chapter List:
Prologue: The Tutorial
Chapter One: The Bridge
Chapter Two: The Desert
Chapter Three: The Sunken City

that was amazing.
I am stunned sitting here staring at the title screen. that was so well done. no game has ever moved me as much, or made me feel so human. also literally some of the most gorgeous scenery/moments in any game ever
This game will create better people and promote unity, love and general respect for all life. I sincerely thank the creators

during the final push or the return to the source, so to speak, my companion and I were walking on either side. I slowly shifted into the center, and then my companion followed suit, creating a single being. I started crying

That was absolutely breathtaking.
I actually cried at the end. Amazing, powerful stuff.
Best gaming-experience I ever had.

Before I played the game I would have thought that was crazy talk. Before.

So tempted to get a PS+ membership just to get this game early, even though I've got Mass Effect 3 to play through.

Hahaha oh man that is hilarious. I can only imagine playing through the game for the first time and processing all of the things you went through during the credits and then this pops up on the screen. Priceless.
I did just that. It was worth it.

I had a companion named Douche something (can't remember) but to be honest, I was actually stoked that I had met so many people along the way.
I'm betting that even through any subsequent playthroughs, I'll probably be like - whoever _____ is, you were awesome for playing this game with me.
The second I heard about the names thing the first thing I thought off was trolling. I feel kind of bad because my PSN name is just nonsensical.
Actually quite a lot of the time I was achievement hunting I felt bad about meeting people who just wanted to play the game and I was ignoring them. Even worse now people have the 'unlock', I can't even imagine seeing that thing in the game world without knowing about it.
As for the crying thing. I didn't cry, but I was pretty stunned for a few minutes. Flower probably hit me harder, although Journey is certainly the far better game.

What's nice about Journey is that people are talking about the experience, not the technology.
Which might seem obvious, but as a piece of tech its also extremely good. I presume its using SSM's nice MLAA implementation because its very polished looking visually, and from a purely artistic standpoint it is a genuinely beautiful piece of work.
You could very easily frame and put on display screen grabs, its so pretty.

You get Trine 2 and Sly 1 HD for free too, enjoy.
::unblows minds::
you can see them regardless of if you are connected to the internet.
After receiving the
, I definitely replayed it and helped a fellow companion through the game. It is really remarkable how different the playthroughs are between the two, I felt like I was floating effortlessly through the entirety of the game. I definitely let my fellow traveler take lead, and took a lot of time meditating and appreciating the adventure.

The music
is incredible.
I was initially going to say that the music
is stunning,
, but it really only works within the context of the entire soundtrack.
throughout the game
I was initially going to say that the music
when you first get to The Passage
especially after the activity of The Sunken City

Interesting. Would you say solo is the ideal first play? Or would co-op be an equally good, but different first play...

by the way, the people I met on my first runthrough were RonMaest, IceColdEskimo, DoctorMoneyBags, Axenic_Radical, and Corvus_PD
not sure if any of those belong to one of you on here

I can't know, because my first time through the game was solo, and it's tough to imagine going through it the first time with a companion. My assumption is that both would be remarkable experiences; after all, it sounds like most people here went through it with one or more companions for their first time and reactions are overwhelmingly positive (confirmation bias yadda yadda etc).
I will say that I'm extremely glad I first experienced the game alone.

My first walkthrough has been with a companion, and I regret nothing.
The last levels were specially amazing having a companion. I don't think that it would be the same, the first experience, alone.

Flower was amazing, reading through some of these comments here and some of the reviews, I am getting this day one, too bad I don't have PS+ anymore. Can't wait though.shouamabane

Anyone who liked Flower will love Journey. I went through most of the game the first time with another person. Interacting was interesting. It tended to speed up my playthrough because the other player wanted to plow through. I'll never know if it would have been better solo.
Just finished this before, such an amazing experience. so glad i became PSN+ for this.
It evoked such a deep emotional response from me, it made me happy and it made me utterly depressed at times, gonna get my girlfriend to play through this definitely a good starting point for her as a gamer.
Journey is easily in my top 5 of all time now and i cant wait to play it again

I forgot how slow downloads are on the PS3, it's painful after downloading stuff so speedily on the Vita

I was surprised how unobtrusive it feels. On paper I'd have said that was a bad idea, it's an unneeded barrier to content, but they do an excellent job of having any specific one be easily accessible.
One thing I do find strange about it however is there is a second level selection-esque hub area within the game. Given the progression of that environment, it makes sense, but it struck me as unusual.
My wife liked Flower, but couldn't get a handle on the controls. She LOVED Journey, however, and played through and beat it while i was at work. She had the same companion the entire game. She said she was shocked when
. She was tearing up both times i beat it.
I'm in love with this game, and i could easily play it over and over again. I generally can't stand trophies, but i think i might go for all of them in Journey.
the end it only listed one person in companions met

I'm 95% sure there isn't.
The first stage select is the desert, which is after the second level.
At the end of the tower environment, you're surrounded by the same hub style design, except with lithographs instead of the glowing level images.
Hah, wait a minute, not only are there glowy things on
, but I got them all? How the heck did I manage that?
I do wish you could find out what glowy things you were missing while selecting the chapter though. They could've set it up just like they do at the end of each chapter, with the marks glowing on the bottom of the stone tablet.
level 6, which is the snow level, right

Nope, none in the last level.
