Did I just hear Brad in the quick look miss the entire point of Journey?

I watched the Quick Look, and still have no idea what you do in that game.

Enlighten us :o

If you played Flower then the point of the game seems pretty clear. They aren't that dissimilar. Based on what I saw, like Flower, you roam the map collecting petals (or in this case fabric) and it unlocks new areas of the map for you to roam.

Enlighten us :o

Griefing is non-optional.

Well from what I can gather the game is about being super anonymous. Not just regular ass online game anonymous, but like this next level of anonymous. Everyone is on the same "Journey", they all look the same. So how do you decide who do you play with? Do you want to walk alone? So it was funny when Brad's first thought was "I hope I don't get stuck with randoms". Because the entire point of the multiplayer at least is getting as random as you can get.

Well given how online gaming works these days, the concept that game's multiplayer is going for would be pretty foreign to most people.

Oh c'mon, people thinking there won't be griefing are naive. If I am a dude walking around who then sees another dude, I can just jump around the guy and refuse to leave him alone even if he makes it clear he wants nothing to do with me. This can easily happen all the time.

@Brendan: You can walk around the guy, maybe even try to walk in front of him, but you can't spam jump in the game.

Then again there is the singing so maybe that can be spammed. I'm actually kind of interested to see how griefing would work in this game.

Yes it would seem that Brad had misunderstood the premise of the multiplayer which is a little wierd since he went to see it with Patrick but hey, at least he seems to enjoy it a lot.

If someone is just standing around doing nothing or walking around me you can simply walk away and part ways.

And they'll keep following you and doing those little jumps that don't take up energy. If someone wants to annoy you, they will be able to.

I highly doubt they will allow that. From what I hear from the beta it is very easy to leave someone quickly. We'll have to wait for it to be released to truly see but I am optimistic.

If they can implement something to prevent that crap then that's cool. Until then, however, I will always believe in the crowd sourced power to find some way for people to annoy other people online.

I watched the Quick Look, and still have no idea what you do in that game.

Form what I've seen, the closest you can get to griefing others will be just to follow or run around them. Maybe you'll be able to steal the jump power-ups before the other guy can get it, but they probably respawn.

I'm guessing the kind of people into this game and the kind of people into greifing have a pretty small overlap.
