The ending of my Journey play through is something I often think of. I had played through the whole game with the same random second player. We belled at each other and freaked out at flying headlight dragons. He was my new best friend. At the last part of the ice mountain when you are climbing the steepest portion and it is all windy/white out; a blast of wind knocked my BFF down the hill. I doubled back to find him but with the disorientating wind and clouds I could not locate him. I figured I could wait for him at the top of the mountain and proceeded up the hill. To my dismay, when you get close enough to the finish, you character auto-walks toward the gate and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Even though it was an accident, I just ditched my new BFF. The feelings of betrayal and sadness I felt for a random stranger was amazingly powerful. I at first was mad at the game for not letting me turn back at the top but now I am just floored/happy that a the game gave me such a strong memory. Journey is great.
