Edge: Journey's ending is a cop out

But a disappointing denouement can't fully neuter Thatgamecompany's thought-provoking design, writes Steven Poole.

Journey's ending was perfect, walking into the light and then starting over again, the circle of life. It was a highly moving experience. The whole game was literally travelling towards the light, kind of like life itself. Edge please go away.

I was astonished by that games ending, It was amazing! Also that moment when you first see another wanderer was an experience like no other game has brought me to.

[Gaming101]

That game was amazing, it's the fastest selling game on PSN's history for a reason. Edge is out trolling around like the bitter, internet pseudo-intellectuals that they are.

[GribbleGrunger]

a cop out! oh my dear God, clearly this guy didn't understand the whole idea of the game, the reason it's called 'Journey' and the idea of enlightenment and rebirth. any Buddhist gamer would have understood every second of the painful road to wisdom.

Edge making a silly complaint about a ps3 exclusive?

Inconceivable!

"Never match wits w/ a sicilian when death is on the line...."

LOL. LOL. LOL.

OH GOD THE SPOILER ALERT!

[SilentNegotiator]

Yeah, but I mean, if you're going into an article that's clearly about a specific game's ending, spoiler alerts in comments should be implied.

[bwazy]

I need an alert that I'm about to do that. Reading (mostly) flamebait titles just don't cut it.

[TheBlackspot]

Wow, you got all that from the ending???

[smashcrashbash]

Some people are just more perceptive then others. Too bad I can't say the same for Edge. While everyone says Journey is wonderful and beautiful they are busy finding problems

[humbleopinion]

So you're basically complaining about them having higher standards than you? Or is it ok just to complain about multiplatform games ending a-la mass effect?

[muttonface]

.. I dunno I liked it.

[Fullmetalevolust]

Journey's ending was a new beginning, at least that's how I viewed it. It's open to interpretation.

[jessupj]

Nothing to see here people, just Edge being childish fanboys like they always have been.

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

Haha. They really don't get this whole "art" thing, do they?

[josephayal]

The game continues on xbox 360

[SilentNegotiator]

Your trolling isn't even clever anymore, man. Why don't you just go "legit" and get 7 bubbles for hating on ps3 like so many N4G users?

[Hicken]

Go away, Edge. Journey's end, like the rest of the game, was brilliant.

[ironcreed]

Just goes to show that even if there is nothing to complain about, Edge will sure enough grasp for straws in order to find a way to try and be critical.

[Knushwood Butt]

Fuck Edge.

Seriously.

[BuffMordecai]

Edge mad that xbox has no games.
