LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
That moment got to me big time.

GLORIOUS.
Couple of thousand words I wrote on the game here, if anyone wants something to read.
Spoilers, of course.

Finished it at last.
Due to my family life I had to fragment my first playthrough more than I cared for.
I had more than 10 partners during my travels. Many lost when I had to disconnect. Some lost because they wanted to go fast while I liked to discover.
In the end
It's amazing how something so trivial and stupid can bring forth such emotions, you know you can play multiple playthroughs, you know it's just a game but still.
I don't like to bring up the whole games and art discussion (of which I am a bit of games are art defender), but I can't see anyone not calling this art.

In the end
I did the last three stages with one companion, struggeling against the wind and the cold, being attacked by the worms and seeing our scarves decimated. We fell together and when we arose we flew frantically into the air. My partner was a bit too frantic and I lost him/her along the way. I waited just before the top for five to six minutes, chirping for him/her to find his way... I then waited another ten minutes chirping at the summit before venturing forth... And it actually made me feel sad, I was sad I lost him/her before the end, I was sad I had to experience it alone...

When you burst into life and go soaring up the mountain after the final scene with the White Ones, where all of the colours pop and the music soars, it really is ridiculously amazing

Thee trophies away from 100% but at this point, I don't really care as like flower, I'll probably play this game even when fully completed.
Is there a guide for finding all of the carvings? Also, what's the best route for the 'Adventure' trophy? Thanks.

Finished.
I didnt feel it as much as flower but it was still great.
Such a pretty game.
I wish it had XMB screenshots or some kind of photomode that let me export 1080p screens.
Most of the game is like the pettiest wallpaper my PC never had.

Subsequent playthroughs have had me start to chirp/sing a steady pulse or tempo and allow my companion to scat/solo over it in other patterns. Also I Journey'd all the way through from Broken Bridge to the end with someone on their first playthrough and me as a transcendent' being. Acted as friend,companion, and occasional guide/guardian angel. Got us to meditate for 30 secs at the glyph in the final area that depicts the war machines being used and bringing about the beings' demise. There was something so beautiful about it: the temporary respite from the elements in quiet reflection of the past. We're PSN friends now
I love this game so much

broke down and purchased Journey today. Wow. The experience went by kind of quick yet left a lasting impression. I will be returning for a second, third and fourth journey soon!

...just keep walking? There is NO need to even stick with them at all. In fact, it's EASY to ditch a player.
Seriously man, you're outburst is quite childish.

I'm down to one glyph
I'm in the sand sliding stage. There are three glyphs. I got the one in the center of the stage on the ramp, and the second one on the wall after it spits you out. I cannot seem to find the last one. Any help? I looked at the glyph guide posted in the thread but the description didn't help me.
Any help?
Use my guide I made a few days ago. =[

Can't wait to get home from work tomorrow.
I'm so jealous of everybody on Wednesday who gets to play this for the first time. That moment when I first saw my companion for most of the game trying to fix the broken bridge is one of my favorite moments in video games ever. Makes me wish every game was an amazingly tight, downloadable 2-3 hour excursion rather than the boring and repetitive 15-20 hour long retail games.

Omg that guy has a playthrough. I just like hearing the last area music.
Edit: Oh the string, the STRINGS! I'm getting teary at work just listening to the music. Aural memory is so powerful.
I miss my stranger buddy. ;_;

I can't wait for an OST of the game to be available. Excellent music that really enhanced the gameplay

Speaking of the soundtrack, this email arrived a few hours ago with a link to a free 6 minute track:

So I haven't bought anything off PSN since Flower. I don't want to have to go to a store to pick up psn funds. Does Amazon sell codes?
If you adjust it with the right stick it seems to take the current position of the controller as the new neutral position.
Thank yooooou. *weep*
I don't get it. I just want it off. I lean back in my chair and my controller sits with face buttons and sticks face down on my chest.
No matter how I place it it's seems to always be floating around unless it's on the table surface.
Do you know the time difference between your respective time zone and GCT?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
A very odd question, but I'm hoping someone can answer.
I bought a launch PS3 WAAAAY back in the day, and immediately signed either up, or into, my PSN account. I believe I had an account before that on my PSP. Either way, though, I know FOR CERTAIN that I signed in with a very specific username, because it's the same username I had used for years and years prior, and the same username I even use today.
I eventually sold my PS3, and it wasn't for a few years later that I got another one. I went to sign in with my email and password, and with every.single.combination I could think of, it wouldn't sign me in. After days of no success, I made a new account under a dif't username.
Now, this may seem silly; but I've actually hardly ever bought anything from PSN or played online games, because I hate my new username ;p I just want my normal one back. I tried recovering it, but every email and birthdate I try, it says it's not correct.
Is there anything I can do to get my old account back? I want to play Journey; but I just refuse to buy stuff under an account I hate so much, as silly as that is.
Thanks!

Generally a restatement of TGC's philosophy, but always nice to hear Jenova talk about his passion.

So I got this game not knowing about it. I just saw it was from the crew that made Flower so I figure what the hell. I dl it and went off to do something else. Before I headed off for bed I noticed my ps3 on and remembered I bought this game. So I figure meh lets play it for a few min to see how it is. Holy I was blown away by the art and the music. Then I notice people just like me running around exploring. A few min turned into me ending up finishing the game with another person. Wow was the co op done so well in this game! It fit this game so well on how they did it. I know this might sound weird but you feel a bond with that faceless nameless player. Games like these really is a bright spot on the industry.
Anyways I worked for 2 days and had very little sleep. I feel like I am just rambling now. must sleep play moar latar,....

You should just be able to use a Canadian credit card if you haven't closed them down and haven't permanently moved to Europe.
And I'm in the U.S., so I can't help you.

I moved permanently. It's very unfortunate that the digital store is region locked.
