Long as I can DDT a mother fucker I'm here for it.
I’m sure that will work.
I don’t think the current strategy for reviews work. They’re made too early before patches are in place and too late for the dev to actually correct the things that aren’t good. And they’re almost never updated so even years later they still only show the state the game was in before launch. And now they ruin the launch with leaks.
On the plus side, SP narrative games hold true for the most part.
SP narrative games still get patches. We’ve seen games getting 60fps modes, RT, glitch fixes, 40fps modes, rebalacing patches, in-game stores, etc after launch.
So no spoilers for you, my little gears of war fan!
Oh I’m certain we’ll be waiting too. Would be fun if they did release it a bit earlier though! Although I’m sure physical folk would be a bit frustrated lol.
I take it you don't like Marvel films
Yeah me too read books backwards
You need a Hitchcock masterclass ASAP.
Couldn't resist. He's right you know.
What is he right about? That Hitchcock storyboarding his scripts to perfection in order to shock the viewer and create cinema history is the wrong way to tell a story?
You're talking about horror, probably one of the few cases where you need to keep unknow elements so as to create tension, though if really well done it is worth reading or watching even if you get spoiled. GOW isn't horror.
You’re wrong in all aspects. And Hitchcock didn’t make a single true horror film. Maybe The Birds, and that’s stretching it. Pointless conversation anyway. We couldn’t think more differently. It’s also a cheap way to accuse everything that has some kind of surprise or twist by not being good without it. Which is bullshit.
Disagree, Final Fantasy 7 would have been spoiled if we knew about a characters death before it happened, and that game has one of the best stories in video game history
Not really, you can have surprises and a good narrative. The point is a good narrative doesn't need that surprise to be interesting. Some narratives have so much confidence in themselves that they don't even bother hiding how certain things end, or straight up tell you.
Read the above. Does knowing about Aerith's death beforehand (c'mon, its a +20 yo game and we all know this already, no need to be cryptic about it) makes the whole game unworthy seeing through?
You’re doing it wrong! If the story is good spoilers don’t ruin anything! Be free!I hope all my fellow neogaf buddies can avoid all the leaks and enjoy the game without it being spoilt
If somebody would have told me about her dying 2 weeks before the game came out, yes it would have spoiled the story somewhat
Would you not have enjoyed the game then? Does that mean if someone nowaydays picked up the game definitely knowing about this given how much memes we have about it, they wouldn't be able to appreciate the story or her character?

Better yet, to give an example in gaming, RDR2. Everyone knew Arthur was gonna die, even before his sickness appeared. Everyone knew what would happen to Dutch, the gang and everyone. Did any of that stop a lot of people from becoming emotionally invested? Did you
But doesn't "knowing what happens" supposedly spoils the story, regardless of how you came to know it? Its not like RDR2 really had any "surprise" to compensate for that either.
Dunno, probably the same reason why i feel people who think a good story is consisted of shocks and plotwists never picked up a book in their lives.
What books are you reading? The English Dictionary? HTML for Dummies?
Expectations. People wanted to know how the story plays out.
