I'm not sure how to feel about the lack of player identification in Journey.
I have a fun time exploring with someone, but then they log off and I'll never be able to see them again. Even if I do happen to run into them, I'll never know for sure if it's really them because there's only one single audio ping to communicate with.
Yes, I realise that that could be interpreted as a fantastic artistic statement about... I dunno... societal isolation or something, but in that case it's a fantastic artistic statement that makes me feel kinda bummed.
Although you could say it's a good kind of bummed feeling... AAARRRG!
Maybe I should just teach myself morse code.

Every moment whilst playing this game I was like "Wow" with my jaw dropped. I was lucky enough to meet one person near the start and travel right to the end with him. We then added each other as friends afterward and now play more games together on multiplayer.
This game is everything that is good about multiplayer, you genuinely care for your companion, and you go through so much toil and trouble together that by the end you feel so much warmth.
Beautiful game, and great comic!

Sooooooooooooo what? No I'm serious, what is the game about?
OT: Excellent joke at the end. Plus you tricked me with the comment about the english man.
Captcha: route one ... that's it. There be an AI in them thar internets. Question is who built it? [sub][sub][sub]I'm saying it's Skynet. IN DISGUISE.[/sub][/sub][/sub]

May you, by chance, be referencing the Penny Arcade comic on this particular game?DVS BSTrD said:

Love this game.
It's absolutely brilliant and was really surprised by the emotional effect it had on me.
Certainly one of the new all time greats, that's for sure.

Okay, now there's TWO games that I want a PS3 for. Freaking Playstation exclusives..... If you'd been cheaper from the beginning, I might have had you!
See what you did there.Qitz said:
Not sure if Toombs Approves or Disproves.
I'll give you an invisible hat instead.
I couldnt help but chuckle at the Skin head crying while playing.
Anyways, I really want to try this game, but lack the PSN to do so... I also dont have the PS3, so thats a problem too...

This was a really good comic. 
I also partially agree with your statement on "art games", although I couldn't say how that relates to the Jimquesition, since that video you posted was the one I thought I'd watch to try and see if it improved. I couldn't keep it up for a minute. >.>
But in general I would say that it's not bad to group in all art games together, because no matter what you call them everyone is going to have their own opinion. Take conventional painting art for instance. Both the Mona Lisa and The Scream are considered art, but I still know people who like the Mona Lisa but aren't such big fans of the The Scream. In the end it all comes down to personal opinion, so why not just call them art games and let people decide for themselves.
(Except The Path of course - I can stand Tale of Tales' archaic and self-contradictory nonsense.)

After the credits, it tells you who you played with, identified by name and their symbol.Zhukov said:
Honestly, I love the game, one of the best interpretations of multiplayer I've ever seen.
