That's dvader reviews for ya bugsie.

"OMG this fucking game is the shittiest shit that ever shat, I can't believe it's being sold instead of being shoved up people's asses in chinese jails" "Score: 8.90"

- Vader, what the hell? 8.90?

"Oh well, the game works and has...credits and shit..."

He is saying my score matches my review, you are so wrong. This post gets a 9.3

Your squishy,  soft buttcheeks get a 9.3.

Your soon to be non functioning balls gets a 9.3.

And thus, Robio's thread ended up being about my balls.

I think this thread was about balls to start.

It wasn't about balls. It was about ass.

Balls can be stinky and ass like

A bar of soap or some body wash would solve a lot of your problems my friend.

Between this conversation and Anna Torv, I am suddenly leaning towards the straight side of the spectrum...

WTF?

Journey isn't a game. It doesn't deserve to be called a game. All you fucking do is walk. Walking is not a game. It's walking. But people keep saying that doesn't matter because it's an experience. You know what? Fuck that shit. Seriously if you want an experience get off the god damned couch and go to the real world and have yourself an experience. You can even choose your own soundtrack that doesn't get so repetitive. And if the case that someone joins you on your own journey guess what? They'll do more than just sing.

That's my other issue with the game. The co-op was utterly worthless. It adds nothing to the game at all. It changes nothing at all. The co-op was promoted as changing the experience entirely. And the only thing it changed was enduring the game all by yourself to suffering with a complete stranger that you can't even complain to.

Anyway, I hate it. I really do. I think it's awful, and the entire industry needs to kill it with fire so that we never get an experience like this again.

Okay, it's more than walking. It's jumping, flying, sailing and sand-boarding.  That's three activities more than the original Mario Bros.

The co-op, and the seamless way you interact online does indeed change the experience entirely.  Finding out that there is an actual person joining your game, without any of the usual reality-suspending invites, lobbies and online ID's is groundbreaking.  Also, your co-op buddy can help you traverse tha plains faster using the scarf hopping move (another thing Mario doesn't have).  You can complain to your partner, and communicate in many other ways as well.  You could have both had a sit-in had you chosen.

It is an experience, sure, but it is also a game and a good one at that.  Not GOTY worthy, not unless you don;t play many games at all, but none-the-less a good value for the price with replay value and two entirely unique feautures (the other of which, as you know, I go into in the podcast).

As for Flower.  Fuck that shit.  That IS A GAME as well, just the worst flight sim ever made. Ever. Including Superman 64, because at least you could control him.
