Journey's multiplayer is useless...and that's alright

Bitmob: It doesn't matter if the people one meet's in thatgamecompany's Journey are there or not, but that doesn't mean they aren't still crucial to the experience (contains spoilers).

I dunno, I think having other people in it adds quite a bit. When I encountered the first multiplayer person when I played through, i wondered if it was a real person or a tutorial person. It's THAT well integrated.

brodychet5178d ago

Lmao me too. I thought the AI was just insanely accurate. With the response I was getting from clicking the music button; Seemed as though the person had no other choice but to playfully send another signal after mine. But I still don't know >.>

I was thinking the exact same thing when I first saw another character. My thought initially was that it was the game trying to lead me, but the movement seemed too sporadic to be a bot.

I wish there was a way to play the game with someone from your friend's list since they're already technically implementing multi-player.

Something special is lost if you aren't with another person.

Summons755178d ago

if you think it's useless you clearly are not looking at the game right, go back to call of duty

Old McGroin5178d ago

Read the article man; he's not dissing the game or it's multiplayer really - the headline is a little misleading!

RedDead5178d ago

It's not even misleading...It's saying that yes the multiplayer is useless(the other person is simply there. They aren't on your team or helpoing or anything like Lbp. They're just there)

But that's alright. The game isn't about any of that. The other player there is there for a good reason.

AMEN BROTHA AMEN!

@ Old McGroin, I dont think Summons75 comment was for the writer but for "ANYONE" who doesnt get the multiplayer aspec of the game. Cheers!

My partners helped me along the way, showing me things I wouldn't have known otherwise. One guy saved my life as I almost walked straight into the "flying spotlight"

Hicken5177d ago

I think bitmob doesn't get the point of the multiplayer. It's not useless, but an integral part of the overall emotion and atmosphere of the game.
