Unfortunately It’s Too Late for You to Play Journey the Way This Guy Played It
Kotaku - Have you ever wished you knew less about a video game before playing it? Commenter Sloopydrew played through ThatGameCompany's magnificent Journey twice before realizing he had missed an important bit of information.
(Journey, PS3)
It's not really a spoil. Besides, who really did not know those were real people? One guy (or girl) that was in my room just ran all over the place singing and jumping up a wall. Then back to me to run circles around me. that was either a real person or the DUMBEST AI ever.
This message is not a personal attack towards Campy da Camper but I just want to say something cuz I think a lot of people feel like how you do.
Maybe the other player just wants you to go over and help each other to jump up that wall? You know you can help each other to jump higher right? A lot of people just assume the other player is dumb because they themselves have no clue. That's what I love about this game, it shows a different plain on how people interact with each other. Even at an anonymous setting where ppl can't send hate messages to each other, a lot of people still played selfishly and refuse to see what the other person is trying to communicate. This is a video game that is ART. Art beside just the graphics and story. Social Art at it's finest.
Edit: and we all need to vote Kotaku down cuz they always write these retarded articles to stealth troll.
@dir yes I thought that too. But they just went spastic then took off I was not implying the person was dumb rather the AI was if that is what it was lol Besides the wall was a sheet cliff. No where to go. It was either a drunk person or a 2 year old eating the controller.
Kotaku really does suck. I know this sounds dumb, but would someone please let me know how to vote them down? I'm new to N4G. Thanks in advance!
Fed up with reading nonsense, then kicking myself as I notice the source!
On a happier note, I loved this game and that was the factor that made it so special; I would have missed some trophies were it not for my helpful companions :)
It was common knowledge for people who have read or saw anything about the game. Developers made it clear that the game was multi-player and that they were anonymous. I don't think the developers ever wanted to keep it a secret, they probably didn't like having usernames over peoples head and useless voice/text chatting. they probably thought it was more fascinating by having you converse with others using actions only.
Wow you guys seriously think i never played journey and you think im trolling because i never finished the game? "I didnt know there were levels in the game" Give me a freaking break, but thats N4G for you.
Question: how can you not know those are [you know what]? The way your partner moves is clearly not [beep], and the way they 'sing' to you randomly, and the way they wander off, and the way they sometimes look and act different after a chapter, and the way they just decide to sit there and not move at all... those look like [beep] to you?
I played this online until level 2, when I realized someone was impatiently trying to show me everything there was to do. So I signed off picked the game back up and then I really started to enjoy the game.

I've reached out to them for confirmation.

How did anyone that had even heard of the game miss that?

See the link above that says, 'Read Full Story'?
Well, underneath that, click on the link that says, 'kotaku.com'. It will open a voting box.
From there, feel free to vote:
Story quality - WTF?
Do you like this web site? - No
Kotaku just spoiled my opportunity to play like that guy did.... never visiting their site again for that.

That's why I generally don't go to them...
I figured that from the first chapter, you know, that online agreement you have to agree to before continuing
Good morning to you, too.
Smh lol
Fair enough..
Sorry about that !
@Moby-Royale
In fact... I'm just getting old and grumpy !
I found it charming the whole time I was playing. You even get subtle onscreen alerts to it (the white glows at the left and right-hand edges).
Really? He didn't know?
Stop with the "freaking" trolling already.
Absolute stunner of a game.
Story from Kotaku heh?
Clicks + WTF? and No. Without reading story.
