Journey on Ps3

I asked for everyone's favorite games a while back and a few of you responded. Scrypt's favorite was thatgamecompany's Journey, a PSN game that changed the way many people see the possibilities for gaming. I've played it before but I welcome the chance to get back into it.

I vote if we can't get the whole crew together we wait, unless you're cool with soloing an act or two between this event and the next.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/12/2013 at 03:39am

I think id rather not solo an event if I can help it.

Scrypt, if Jon can't show what do you think about a hardcore MP3-or-so Demon Hunter last man standing? :)

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/13/2013 at 07:38am

I'm thinkin' I might totally be down for that :)

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/15/2013 at 12:46am

Okay, so, I kinda have a...date...like, with a girl, and everything. So, I'm not going to be able to make it. I hate to bail, because I really want to progress in this game. I'll be home all day on Sunday, if there is a chance of hooking up then. I'm sorry, Travis!!

Hey man, listen. Some things are more important than Diablo. This is one of those things.

Increased monster power sounds good to me. How do you set that?

MP1 sounds cool. Didn't even know you could do such things. Probably would know that, if I actually played the game more ;).

Travis is magic.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:53pm

It's weird. You have to go into your settings to allow yourself the ability to change it. If you had no reason to go to your settings, and you haven't read about Monster Power, you'd never know it was there.

I just reinstalled it on my PC. Wow. You know 640x480 doesn't age well at all.

The base game is solid, but CAN'T A BROTHER GET 1024x768?

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:24pm

I'm trying to get Battle.net to work, but I keep getting an error saying it can't identify my version. I downloaded the game through Battle.net, and patched to 1.16. Any one else have a similar issue?

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:27pm

I did it a few days ago and all was well. I try it again tonight and see whats up.

vdogmr25 wrote on 06/04/2013 at 06:27pm

Just figured it out. If you're on Windows 7, use run as administrator.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:07am

I'm seriously struggling here. Using Administrator, compatibility mode (Vista and XP), etc. It just crashes as soon as I launch it. I played it a while back, since I upgraded to Windows 8, so I know it's not that. I tried a new display driver, nothing.

WTF.

I'll keep at it.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:13am

So I am on Win 7. Upgraded game downloaded from Battle.net.

Compat mode XP SP3, Disable Visual Themes & Disable Desktop Compression.

Lemmie try launching it.

Yeah, it launched ok. Menus look like crap, game is fine.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/05/2013 at 12:25am

OK got it working. I'm not sure what changed. I decided to clear all the changes and go back to how it was before I started, so no compat, no Administrator mode, nothing, and now it works. Go figure.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:07pm

I'd like to do Witch Doctor, I could also do Wizard (my Wizard is barely existent at this point).

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:28pm

I pick ze Monk.

I am ok with starting again. Even if we must play the Spider level again :D

Friday wrote on 05/30/2013 at 03:08am

I've never done demon hunter or witch doctor, mostly because those both seem crazy complicated and death-y. My Monk is 60+9, my wizard is 44, and barb is...whatever it is after our last run. So I guess I'm a demon hunter, since Trav is doing witch doctor...?

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/30/2013 at 04:48am

Witch Doctors are fun. Haven't played as a Demon Hunter. And you don't HAVE to go pets with a WD. Well when you get enough skills to effectively choose.

After playing today with you guys for a few minutes I totally dug Travis Barb character. It was so decked out. Plus with your Wizard, it was like no contest for hellions.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 05/30/2013 at 02:12pm

Barb opens up a lot when you get whirlwind. It's so fun, if a bit overpowered. Some people call it spin-to-win. :)

Friday wrote on 06/01/2013 at 03:52am

It had been forever since I played my wizard, I'd completely forgotten how much fun it is (and how very smite-y)! My problem with the ranged characters in D3 is that my entire strategy is to run into the middle of a group of monsters and start punching. Great for Monk and Barbarian, less healthy for ranged characters. Tomorrow night may just end in my repeated death.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/01/2013 at 04:36am

I have one of each character class, but nothing higher than level 22. I'll go with the flow, and pick something supportive :).

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 06:19am

Ok so are we going Act 1 starting again or something else?

If so I have the Barb from the last event ready for Act 2.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/01/2013 at 06:36am

A change of scenery would be nice, but I'm up for anything.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/01/2013 at 08:53pm

If we're doing act 2 we'll need to get our characters up to that point. Should only take a couple of hours, but let us know.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/01/2013 at 08:56pm

Diablo needs a level sync like some MMO's have so you don't have to worry about that crap! :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 11:54pm

Since no one else will decide then lets do act I again with fresh characters.

TAKE THAT EVERYONE!

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 11:54pm

Oh and I still get Monk.

Sounds good Travis. And im glad i made it too :D

Friday wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:28am

I'm game! Trav and I were just talking about it, I think we're going to try to get me a witch doctor through Act I tomorrow--that's the only class I haven't played yet.

Vaguely related: We decided to speed-run the whole game after we finished inferno this afternoon and there are achievements for clearing each act in under 1 hour. Running level 60 monks through on normal difficulty is more fun than you might think! :)

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:36am

It's a whole new way of playing the game. Trying to dodge enemies is a whole different feel than fighting them. But just blasting through an act in like 40 minutes or less is fun.

It's also amusing when they attack you and just explode. I don't know why, I don't even have thorns damage. They just explode. The Butcher even.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 04:55pm

That sounds awesome and id totally be down to watch that(don't quite have a level 60 yet).

When you guys do that, can you like... screen record it?

Since I'll personally probably never use the character afterward, it would spice it up definitely.

Monk might be a good idea, never played as one before. Or the Wizard. Or Rogue. Or Demon Hunger.

Actually come to think of it, ive only played as the Barb and Witch Doctor.

The only one I haven't played is WD. Four WD's could be fun. ZOMBIE DOGS EVERYWHERE.

But Jon, Rogue? Did you get early access to an expansion I don't have? :) Or were you suggesting a Diablo 1 night? That could also be quite interesting if there's a way to pull the networking off these days.
