Has seeing a spoiler ever made you rage?

[kommando367]

No. Because the way I see it, I'm either going to see that info eventually anyway or I'm never going to play or beat that game at all. I actually looked up the ending to Resistance 3 because it wouldn't stop crashing on me after I reached the boat section.

Kotor was spoiled for me. I reached for the screen and made a choking action but nothing happened >.>.

 

[unreal51]

I don't mind spoilers I only care about how the characters got to what was spoilt . Hell sometimes I spoil things for myself while waiting to play/watch/read it

i am what tvtropes calls a spoiler hound
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpoilerHound
in other words it does not bother me at all when some one spoils something.

 

[-Dragmire-]

I am... a little odd, I love stories but for some reason I don't care if it's spoiled, at all. I can understand why it bothers other people but for whatever reason, it doesn't bother me.

 

[Dragoon]

Only once.

Some brilliant person decided to spoil the most infamous scene of Muv-Luv Alternative in the comments section where people ask for technical help (which I needed).

I wish some one had spoiled that scene for me, I swear it gave me PTSD, I just couldn't play Muv-Luv Alt for quite a bit after that.

OT: I've had so many games spoiled that I just don't care anymore.

ooh ooh ooh and one time, I was just flicking through a games magazine that I had, and there was - unbeknownst to me - a walkthrough for Bioshock in the back pages. Yeah, maybe my fault for not reading the contents.

Of course, I end up flicking to that page by accident (rather than, say, the first page of it) and the first thing that my eyes register is

Spoiler

Defeat Atlas

Unfortunately, I hadn't got to that point yet.

Grr.

Also, who needed a walkthrough for Bioshock of all things?

I've never raged particularly but I really hate spoilers. I have a friend who actively seeks spoilers out for everything from tv to games. He has trouble not dropping them into any conversation about anything I've not played/watched.

He's got a lot better now though but primarily because every time he starts talking about anything I have yet to experience I do the whole Dr Evil "ssshhhh" routine.

I also dread the phrase "it's not really a spoiler" because nine times out of ten it's still enough info to make a load of connections simply by drawing my attention to it.

Also, some random shit-stain on a forum spoiled Heavy Rain for me. Not by accident either. He made a thread titled "THE MURDERER IS [NAME] IN HEAVY RAIN" in super sized text.

Way back when with God of War this happened to me.

Someone just said it, wasn't even related to their topic. They just said the plot twist while talking about something else.

I forget the other game but same thing with it.

I don't get where people get the joy from that? Just randomly shitting on someones day?

 

[Bvenged]

So, for my 1000th post (woop woop) I decided to make a thread

well, then for my thousandth post ill post a reply to your thousandth post thread

seeing as dishonored is involved and all
and nope no spoiler has ever made me rage, not at all ever because i don't care about spoilers
bizarre as that may seem to some people

happy thousandth.

That is a bit weird, but I suppose it's a benefit that spoilers don't phase you
1000th madness!

I only click on spoilers for games I know I'll never get around to playing or am not interested, but as far as spoiling games go...

Someone gave away the ending to Arkham City, and granted, I figured that was going to happen, but I guess I should mention that I didn't like Arkham City really, so I guess it's not a big deal, but for me, it was.

I went over to my cousins house once and he invited me to watch him play Arkham City. I planned on getting it myself and knew not-much about the game anyway. After watching him for 20 minutes the credits roll... I was annoyed but I couldn't blame him, he's only a kid.

So, this one time I was in a local game store called Buy Back Games.

At the time it was several months after Metal Gear Solid 4 had come out, however as I hadn't owned a PS3 I hadn't gotten to play it. Having been a huge fan ever since MGS2 was my first PS2 game (I was in JRPGland for all of the PSX-era, foolishly assuming that an action game could never have a deep plot) and have played every game in the series even the originals on MSX. I had just made a deal with a co-worker/friend that I would pay him to let me borrow his PS3 to play the game, and he let me. I was playing through it at the time, and I don't even recall why I was in the store at all.

One of the clerks walks up to the other one behind the counter and says:

Spoiler: MGS4 Ending Spoilers

"Man wasn't it crazy how Big Boss came back at the end?!"

I shouted "FUCK" and walked out without explaining.

Such absurdly bad fucking timing.

Protip: If you work in a game store, keep your mouth shut about the end of games for fuck's sake. Especially plotlines that are over TWO DECADES LONG...

Haha no shit, I heard a spoiler by game store workers in the very same way, it pissed me right off because I knew they shouldn't be talking like that. I think I'd completed the game but I was wondering at the time "what if someone else hasn't and they heard that?

It was about this time last year, for Gears 3 I think.

Scrap that, it was Deus Ex: HR and I hadn't played it yet but planned to (still never have). That's why I was so pissed. I walked out too but I didn't yell anything. I just went to a rival game-store across the road with my business. I was trying to pre-order BF3 at the time. Never have returned, even though I liked the shop (Gamestation).

My friend at school thought it would be funny to ruin the ending to Red Dead Redemption and Assassins Creed 2 for me when I was half way through it. It pissed me off heaps but it never ruined those games for me in fact it made me do all the side quests in Red Dead before the ending so I'm actually kind of happy he spoilt it for me

 

[manic_depressive13]

No. I just don't care that much. Stories are more about the journey than the destination. The only time seeing one has made me not buy something is when whatever was revealed sounded genuinely bad. In fact sometimes I seek out spoilers to see if the supposedly epic plot twist is really silly and contrived.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

ALl the time, I have the worst luck about spoilers.

Of course, there's the infamous time when Escapist user "Renegade Shepard" spoiled Mass Effect 3's ending.

And when a youtube user spoiled the big twist in A Good Man Goes To War. (Doctor Who episode)

Oh, and when my dad spoiled that in Bones: Season 7,

Spoiler

Brennan has a daughter.

Yes. When ME3 released I was able to pick it up and play it on the Tuesday and Wednesday but I had a crazy work schedule so I wasn't able to play it again until over a week later. By that time the whole ending thing started to erupt. At first I was like "Oh that's just one guy that didn't like it whatever!". Then the noise/rage started to get louder and louder and louder and I was like "Oh well there's 16 different endings so I'll just look at 1 and see how 'bad' it is..."

I've never been trolled so hard before in my life...

Then came the confusion, anger, depression, bargaining and acceptance that, that was the way it was going to be and even the new Extended Cut DLC was just "clarifying" the ending not adding a new ending. Then I began to realize how rushed and flawed the game was as a whole not just the ending.

The same thing happened to me with ME3. I was doing my exams that week and had barely any time to play it when the ending fiasco started. Knowing that the ending sucked actually did kind of ruin the game for me as I realised how rushed it actually was but at the same time it made me more curious and eager to play it to the end to see what could have possibly been so bad about 16 different endings; and then I saw the starchild...

 

[StBishop]

Yes. Every spoiler ever.

I don't give a fuck how old a game/book/film/show is spoilers always ruin the experience for me.

I have literally stopped reading books because people have said "Are you up to part yet?" I will just put that mother fucker down, take the bookmark up and never pick it up again.

Even if someone is vague "Have you read the wedding yet?" I spend the entire time waiting for, or expecting the wedding, or "Has anyone died yet?" etc. I just can't live with it.

I don't talk to or associate with people who spoil shit. It's that big of a problem for me. I have stopped being friends with people because of it and I'll continue to.

There's few things I hate more than someone completely destroying my experience when I'm trying to be entertained. It's right up there with being spit on for me.

That is a bit weird, but I suppose it's a benefit that spoilers don't phase you

To avoid successive posts, (which I'm pretty sure are against forum rules) you can hit quote, copy the text and then edit your post and paste it down the bottom.

It's pretty easy.

Just sayin'.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

The main plot point to Soylent Green was spoilt for me... For those who haven't seen it, all I will say is that the entire movie evolves to a discovery, which is awesome, and a big twist...

I still really enjoyed the movie... but I know I would of enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn't read the 4 words that spoilt the ending for me! :/

 

[Amaror]

Well somebody spoiled Game of Thrones for me, by revealing some info from the later books and excused it with the fact that the book was so old, so it wasn't a spoiler, at least in his stupid opinion.
