One of the things that sucks so much about this whole spoiler thing is that I know, come next Friday, I'm going to find myself just speeding through the game so that I won't be spoiled by assholes or careless posters.
I'm the type of guy that loves to just exist in a game world. I explore every nook and cranny, read every poster on a wall, or sign on a street, and soak in every vista or detail, and Naughty Dog has an insane attention to detail.
But because of spoilers, I feel like I'm just going to be breezing through this game, and not really enjoying it.
It took me a full week just to beat Resistance 3, and that campaign just isn't very long.
If The Last of Us is indeed 18-20 hour game, I won't be beating it until at least the end of June, maybe longer. I hate having my gaming experience forced due to stuff like this.
I had the ending of Heavy Rain spoiled for me the day the game came out. I had avoided spoilers that entire time, and in a God of War 3 article on N4G of all places, some jackass had created a user name with the spoiler, so even avoiding the posts by that guy, the spoiler was in his username.
I've worked so, so hard to avoid spoilers for TLoU, I'd hate to have it ruined before that. I pretty much cut out every website I normally visit except for GAF. Since GAF helps me pass the time at work when we're slow, it's going to suck if I have to cut it out as well.
Anyway, folks that have the game early, please be careful with how you word your posts. You may think you're being super vague and cryptic, but often, and for many of us, it's as loud and clear as if you had just posted the spoiler without tags.
