Journey is utter brilliance

[Daystar Clarion]

Bought the game, love it so far.

But how do I meditate?

Meditate?

What do you mean?

X is jumping/flying and circle is for your talk, bubble, thingy.

You can sit down and just... meditate.

Like this.

But not just at one of the little post thingies (^ That) at the end of every level, I want to meditate in my spare time.

EDIT: Oh, found it, it's the select button.

It's actually the Select button. Took me a while to find out as well (seriously, that's like the most obscure choice for this action)

Huh, does meditation do something? Or is just sitting down?

 

[Arina Love]

one and a half hour for 15$? Sounds like ripoff to me. Pass.

Just sitting down. Nothing special about it.

Do you not subscribe to the idea of 'quality over quantity'?

Oh, my character did that if I just stood idle for a little while.

No i don't i weight my interest with how long game is and then consider to buy or not. One and a half hour for 15$ is a ripoff to me. i could save that money and put it towards some future J-RPG that will last me ~40 hours and quality is subjective Journey don't look that interesting to me well at lest not 15$ interesting if it were 4-5$ i would considered it.

Out of curiosity, how much does a new film cost where you live?

Because 10 quid is about right for a DVD release over here and Journey is about as long as a feature film.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

It's out already?

Damn, I have some buying to do!

I watched John Carter today for 5.08 USD and can buy dvd of some new films for 11-12$ said that i rarely buy films on dvd. I watch them in movie theater.

I don't own it and i don't own a PS3. This game almost makes me wish I did.

...

Back to Dear Esther for me I guess.

 

[Something Amyss]

I'd agree with the OP, adding only the caveat that the game does not take very long to complete and is 15 dollars.

It's a sublime experience for how long it lasts, but just know what you're getting into.

How short are we talking, here? A decent movie, a COD Campaign, a long remix of Inna Gadda Da Vidda?

honestly, i think its silly the base a games worth on how long it is. i mean i can understand having a hard time justifying a purchase of something that wont last long (ive passed on games because of their short length) but most people will likely play it more than once. journey is a very deep and beautiful game with a story that is heavy with metaphor. personally, id rather have a game thats short but takes advantage of every second, than a long game that drags things out just so it can reach a certain length. but i do understand that its a gamble and i cant promise that you will love it as much as i did because everyone is different. i would encourage you to read more about it before making up your mind though.

Hey that's fine, it's your money, and if you don't feel that it's worth it, then that's your prerogative.

its about 90 minutes. i know, thats really short but it takes advantage of every second. besides, i dare you to only play it once

 

[somonels]

Wow, now the PS3 has TWO games I'm interested in.

For me it's different, because i live in country where console gaming hobbie is very expensive indeed. New games cost 80-85$ so i can't write-off game length when i play 80$ for a game i need games to last (good for me that i like J-rpgs and they are long!) So people here tend to have different mentality about game length (very important aspect for me). That's why i can't justify 1.5 hour for 15$. Maybe i will pick it up in a year or so, once it on sale.
