Support NeoGAF

...ok?

To his point, BB's appearance in mgs4 was spoiled by kotaku weeks ahead of mgs4's release. He's not wrong in assuming that some site will unintentionally spoil something from mgsv because they don't care. Probably a Chinese site, now that I think about it.

 

[BanGy.nz]

That was my girlfriend's song at the end of the Beastcast. I didn't know she threw so dark.

You're dating Tom Cochrane?

 

[Keyser Soze]

That's an awfully big leap to go on based on nothing.

The MGS series will always have forms of sexisim in it, and when it is good to talk about that, blurting out story information alongside it is not. However, sites will do it regardless. ]

Kotaku was horrible in the run up to MGSIV with spoilers, and they have done the same recently - with Batman and more.

Anyone that is looking to avoid storyline spoilers might as well leave the internet tomorrow.

 

[Myggen]

Watching the UPF Setup Periscope from a couple of weeks ago really drives home how far they sit from the screen when playing on that set. It would drive me nuts.

Also, I would appreciate if people just don't even mention that there's spoilers out there in this thread tomorrow. So much can be considered spoilers for MGSV that it's easy for someone to slip up if it's being discussed.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Good thing I keep checking this thread. Because it certainly doesn't show up here: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/metal-gear-scanlon/

Yeah I had the same issue. It doesn't show up under Premium videos either.

 

[Chance Hale]

Don't go to kotaku then? Not that many sites post articles about a specific scene or theme of a game. Which if anything is symptomatic of the free PR regurgitation most sites work to give but alas.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Don't have RSS, have adblock to avoid those 'from around the web' links, don't go to the front page of GAF, don't open email, don't look at Twitter, don't look at Facebook...

...basically Keyser's right. Let's all go to Ireland!

 

[Keyser Soze]

I don't, but I do use Twitter, and i do use NeoGAF and other places.

If someone posts information somewhere, someone will reiterate somewhere else.

The mods here will likely be good, and edit titles that contain stuff, but stuff is going to get out.

I'm blocking every major game outlet on Twitter tonight and not listening to any gaming podcast coming out after tonight (maybe not GB because they avoided the review event) until September 3rd. I'd rather go over a week without gaming news than get spoiled on this.

 

[klonere]

 

[mnz]

Wow guys, I can't believe The Patriots are actually the New England Patriots and Metal Gear is just a very long game of Madden. Kojima is so crazy.

 

[Myggen]

Oh man, that's awesome!

I think you'll be fine with GB content. Unless Brad Spoilermaker strikes again, but I can't see them spoiling anything pre release.

 

[BanGy.nz]

I need to watch more NJPW.

 

[Jintor]

Spoilermaker is a legitimate worry. I might have to hypnotise myself into believing he doesn't exist.

Just hope for him not playing it right away, then the whole podcast will be spoiler-free.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

Shouldn't we be fine with regards to Phantom Pain? Giant Bomb didn't go to that review event so they won't be getting their copies of the game until street date launch (unless they can get help with acquiring copies ahead of release..........)

[strafer]

Please explain? I have no idea who they are?

except for navarro ofc

 

[Myggen]

With how Konami is treating this embargo I wouldn't be surprised if they just send out one copy of the game pre release. It would be surprisingly generous if they send out more.

Oh yeah, Jeff said that they're not sending out review copies before day of release. So no worries about GB.

I'm more worried about when I'll get the chance to play the whole thing really

Quit your job, abandon your family, and play some Metal Gear!

Shinsuke Nakamura, Japanese Pro Wrestler.

I got all excited thinking that he was going to appear at NXT, then I remembered ROH are in town also.

I still can't get over DMX Goomba.

 

[tuxfool]

People could also learn not to give a shit about accidental spoilers. Once in that state, you'll find yourself being much more compatible with the internet.

Sure, only if you don't have any investment in any story ever then that works.

But since I don't lead the life of sadness and isolation that would get me to that point, I still find that there are at least a handful of things I don't want spoiled. The final Kojima metal gear just happens to be one of them.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

WHAT?!

someone needs to watch UPF

Yeah, this makes it my last chance ever to play through a new Kojima Metal Gear game without getting spoiled. I've never had this chance before and I'm not giving it up easily.

 

[hamchan]

I'm excited to listen to a new powerbombcast finally! But man, if it's just them saying "I dunno man, it's all terrible" through the whole thing, I'm probably going to stop listening. I feel like that's all they say is how much they hate it and call it out as the worst thing ever. Sorry, but I DO enjoy watching wrestling, and I don't really watch any of the TV show stuff since I just don't have the time and only the PPVs and random stuff on the Network, but if all they are going to talk about is how much they hate it, one of the reasons I subscribed to the site, is going to be one of the features I will not listen to anymore.

They don't think wrestling is terrible. They just think WWE is terrible. Which it is. The love for NJPW and Lucha Underground is still high.

They also call out the good stuff like Brock, the New Day and Cena's US open challenge, but they're completely right that the last few months have been a blur.

I find engaging stories interesting, regardless of the *twist* that can be summarized in a few words. More complex spoilers require somebody to actively look for spoilers.

I don't go looking for spoilers, but neither do I contort myself into knots worrying about it.

 

[Liquid Shake]

I'm going to try my best to avoid spoilers but I won't be too upset or surprised if I end up stumbling on something by accident.
I'd love a GB Spoilercast to imbibe after I'm through with the story though.

 

[stump sock]

I'm just gonna be pissed off if some joker who gets paid to write about games decides to publish any big "wtf" moments before the game even goes on sale

and you know someone will.

 

[erawsd]

Jeff preferred the Acclaim games to Revenge/No Mercy and Def Jam Icons to Fight for NY. What the fuck Jeff. What the fuck...

 

[funkystudent]

Spoilercasts are great and its a shame he have to wait until GOTY to get them to discuss in detail spoilers for games,

Well except for Brad of course who will spoil anything and everything on any given Quick Look.


Maybe there is room for a regular, more candid podcast....

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Here is my MGS V spoiler post:

It's dumb.

Now that i've spoiled Metal Gear for everyone you can all stop worrying about spoilers.

 

[daydream]

I still can't get over DMX Goomba.

i haven't consumed a single piece of dmx media and it's the funniest goddamn thing to me

is there even a single professional comedian out there who even gets to close to being as naturally funny as jeff

 

[stump sock]

Jeff's dumb opinions just make me laugh because they're dumb to the point where you'd think he's joking. but no.

The Giant Bomb Pax panel would be the perfect time to spoil some MGS:V shit.

I didn't think it was handled particularly badly

 

[MassiveNights]

MGS V review embargo is up tomorrow aint it?

That also means stories on sites complaining on about bigotry, sexisism, and everything else will likely appear too.

...all these stories will casually spoil the game's story, as they care more about hits than anything else.

But also Kojima is pretty disgusting and should be called out instead of everyone laughing it off like the last 17 years.
