Wait so when another little robed guy shows up that is another player and not an AI?

[DomePatrol]

Holy shit. That just blew my mind.

It was an incredible experience.

I had a buddy for the first part of the game, we started the dune slide, and I got to the bottom first. I waited, but he never arrived. The weird amount of feels

What was annoying was at the end it showed that I played with like 4 different people...and I thought I only played with 1. Confused me.

That kind of broke it for me, because that part felt made up. I saw one dude the whole time, yet I played with 4?

Beauty of it is, Journey's one of the only games I can think of that features co-op that DOESN'T personalize the experience off the bat (voice chat/PSN Names/etc.) and instead allows you to create your own narrative.

You might be playing with someone who's played over a hundred times (you can tell by the color of their cloak and starting scarf size/design) or someone who's never touched the game before.

The person you'll see on your screen might be helpful in showing you secrets that lead to trophies...

 

I found someone who showed me a reference to flOw that I would have otherwise missed

...or you might be the one to take point when it comes to fighting a giant boss so the next time each of you will know what to do and possibly spread that info along.

Like mentioned before, the weirdest part was seeing just how many people you've actually played with throughout the game at the end; I think my first time around, I had a list of about 7 people in one go-round?

It's very cool and I wish there was more games like it.

Dusted off the old PS2. Destroy All Humans is such a great game, and Bully is holding me off for GTA V

I've been watching a bunch of Outlast streams this week. Fuck, I can't wait until this game hits the PS4. It looks so damn good.

Sooooooo I picked up the new Humble Indie Bundle. I have a number of the games already, but I'm okay with paying 5 bucks for Trine 2 and Brutal Legend by themselves. I'm curious what will be added to it.

Anyway, my point is, anyone here want Mark of the Ninja (amazing), FTL (amazing), or FEZ (HOLY SHIT MINDFUCK CITY)? First come first serve. As always, if you're never going to play it, don't ask for it.

I'd be down for that. It seems rife for trolling. This week is a little busy for me, but I should be free on Sunday.

Great. Even more PC keys that I have no use for...

I am free Sunday as well....but there is football.

Just purchased...I get to play FTL and Mark of the Ninja as well. $6 beans!
