Having a great time in Tyria. I just found out the Sylvari female is voiced by none other than the supremely talented Jennifer Hale. This is going to make the trip all the more enjoyable.
In the meanwhile, here’s my Sylvari Hunter with her photobombing Fern Hound.
I am really enjoying Guild Wars 2.
It’s a streamlined experience, and many MMO veterans will appreciate a lot of the shortcuts that ArenaNet have integrated into the Guild Wars experience.
And there’s no monthly fee, so that is a big plus.
It is a constant surprise to me, just how many places I have wifi access. Like Union Station.
Right now, in a gate, waiting on the train to be ready.
I’m not ready, I feel like I’ve made a poor luggage choice and now my shoulder is paying for it.
But you learn.
I am a little concerned for the people that do not look like they are going to PAX. They may be in for quite a ride.
So I started playing Journey on the PS3, which was the reason I updated it in the first place.
It’s hard to explain, but it’s compelling and its two player anonymous cooperative play is extraordinarily so. There’s no communication between the players and you can just walk away if you want to.
Most people I’ve accompanied have been taking the same journey, just sort of walking along and discovering the world at the same time I am. It’s rather compelling. You don’t talk. The most communication you have is a simple tap of the button that makes a symbol appear over your head, accompanied by a short musical note.
It hurts my head thinking about how someone would even begin to write something like this.
Scene 1: There is a mysterious red robed Figure sitting in the desert. The Figure stands. The camera pans upward, revealing The Mountain.
Overall, anyone that has a PS3 should play Journey, it’s that good.
It will be about a two hour trip, but it is worth it.
Finished Mass Effect 3 and Journey this past week. It’s been a good catchup week but to be fair, Journey was very short.
Mass Effect 3 on the other hand, was very long. And I even took the short route, not doing all the sidequests.
I have my own take on the controversial ending and that’s coming soon once I have digested my own thoughts.
Journey was a great, short, satisfying, and deeply thoughtful experience that I can recommend to anyone.
Those thoughts are also forthcoming.
