The funny thing is, theres loads of stupid shit in Dragons Dogma he could have spoiled which wouldn't have had a huge detriment to someones enjoyment playing the first time through , after all, 90% of Dragons Dogma's story is more or less crap. But what he spoiled is one of the absolute best bits of the story in the game. It contextualizes a shit ton, and it's amazing that Capcom had the restraint to hold back on it for as long as they did.

Even if he did spoiler tag it, I'd wouldn't even mention in here, since there's so many who abstained from playing the game on the hopes of a PC port.

But seriously dude lol, think before you post next time

 

[iosefe]

i was foolish and clicked the spoilers thinking it was a long string of fake spoilers
knowing it wont be detrimental to my eventuall PC playthrough i'm sure, and odds are i may forget


damned if you do/don't

 

[Lunaniem]

you know which game doesn't have spoiler problems

league of legends

join more than 70m people on the most played game on the planet!

it's free*!

It's a shame Valve hasn't released a similar game that's completely free to play on Steam.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Wow, RE 5 steam edition really is fucked. I couldnt launch it kept getting Res = 1 error. Steam community had same issue and some guy had to make an unofficial patch.

Im pretty sure its related to me uninstalling GFWL. The irony.

Is Steam Machine supposed to be a pun?

This is why I'd question the relevance of sticking spoilers in here at all, wheter they're tagged or not. I know we should probabbly ignore it, but I think having some ground rules about spoilers in the Steam thread is worth talking about, especially considering the enormous presence of belated ports on Steam these days. "Just don't mention shit for high profile ports which people who people have been waiting years for" might also be a suggestion lol

I would personally cut a bitch if someone spoiled me on the exploits of Lightning da gawdess in lightning returns (even though I kinda know what happens and spoilers have been zipping around for nearly 2 years)

I just don't think anyone truly comes in here to talk spoilers, at all.

What if someones favorite game is Bad Rats? How do you insult a man who's given up on life?

 

[thesaucetastic]

All of this spoiler talk is reminding me of how I spoiled one of the biggest twists of Valkyria Chronicles for myself when I looked at a list of hidden potentials for story relevant characters (HUGE ASS SPOILER:

Spoiler

I put together "mystery body" -> Valkyria, and mistakenly read a sentence on a picture of her profile in a steam guide, which said she was an orphan

). For those of you enjoying the plot, don't do that to yourself. That happened to me when I was only in chapter 3 or 4, so I tried so hard to convince myself otherwise for a long time. ;_;

Sometimes I hate having a really good memory. Like I got spoiled on the plot twist of Bioshock years ago on GAF, but I still remember it clearly.

Speaking of trivias, can you send another answer or only one?

Only one. Which is why I think that giveaway has stayed unclaimed for so long; a lot of people who could answer it probably used up their one shot to get it.

Also, got spoiled on Danganronpa early

:-(

That really sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you.

i make a habit of taggin actual spoilers as i did with (actual spoilers)

that way you know for sure

 

[MUnited83]

Thanks for spoiling MGSV. I'm actually serious. Don't do this.

Those were fake spoilers, don't worry

 

[Accoun]

I got spoiled on Heavy Rain less than half an hour before finding out in game who is the Origami Killer.
Also, got spoiled on Danganronpa early

:-(

 

[Adnor]

It's more exciting if you don't know who wins and not everyone can watch live? Of course, it doesn't happen on streams, but on VODs, sure. For example, TotalBiscuit adds like half an hour (or more?) of splash screen at the end of his commented Starcraft matches, so that you can't say "X has won so many rounds and the video is finishing soon so Y surely won't make a comeback".

Makes sense, never thought of it because I'm so used to tournaments and stuff like that being a moment thing even when I'm watching it later.

 

[Parsnip]

It's just common courtesy you all.

 

[zkylon]

i'm really close to dropping jessica jones

really disappointed by how pedestrian these last episodes have been

this has been a really reocurring theme with tv shows lately for me. i watch like half of it and then it just goes nowhere interesting with anything it builds and i'm just life's too short

sucks

izombie is still the best

Have you seen Luna though?

meh

Not appropriately prefacing spoilers is technically against the rules, but people misuse the tag so often that it's only enforced in cases where someone deliberately set out to spoil something (randomly inject a Game of Thrones spoiler and see how far you get, for example).

[Fantastapotamus]

So, I haven't played a Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare 2. Is it normal that I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEAD what is happening?

This is how a scene in CoD plays out (I'm gonna put this in a spoiler, even though I don't even know what any of it means, it's the mission in Egypt)

Spoiler

Player character: Hello Khalil, nice to see you. How are you?
K: Good thanks to Raul Mendez
*me*: Who is Khalil? Who is Raul Mendez?
K: Since the strike of 25 the D.E.A.D System has been in place but the NRC is coming
*me* what is the strike of 25? What is the DEAD System? Who are the NRC?

Then everything explodes and you shoot a bunch of robots.

I don't even know who I'm working for? The army? The CIA?

That stuff is from Black Ops 2. There's a video that explains most of the BO1 and 2 story if you are interested (though that's probably the only real link to the previous BO games in BO3)

Thank god because I was beginning to feel really stupid. Everybody always says "Oh, the CoD campaigns are just super dumb action movies" so not understanding what is happening wouldn't reflect very well on my intellect.

Okay, that makes sense. Still, it would help to explain at least a little bit. There are so many damn factions in this game and I have no idea who any of them are.

The time for clarification on a story for a game probably shouldn't be half way through it.

I'm not asking "Oh, what's the motivation of the villain here?" or "I'm not sure if this character will turn out to be a traitor, that sucks"
I literally have no idea what is happening.

Helped out a fellow with O&S. Feels good man.
At first starting hammering on Ornstein but the guy I was helping quickly ran my way and attacked. Understood he wanted to leave Ornstein v2 to get his special gear. So we started hammering on Smough. Fatty can take some heavy beating.
Was really fun helping out random people. Jolly Co-Op is jolly.

Have you turned down the shadow setting? Seems they had to brute force that mode so you are rendering ludicrously high-resolution shadows at the highest settings.

Yeah, I left it at like setting one. Some of the shadows are painful to look at (they are like Atari 2600 pixels), but setting shadows at higher levels just kills the game.
