[QUOTE=Dr.C;31938946]I would have enjoyed Bioshock a lot more if I hadn't known the secret about Fontaine[/QUOTE]
Some arse told me that the antagonist of Bioshock liked reading atlases... I made the connection inmediatly... sneaky bastard.
If I was going to read a book/play a game anyway then I wouldn't like it spoilt. Spoilers are good for getting my interest into things though.
In most plots you can tell what's going to happen anyway. It's only a real spoiler if it's a story you're already invested in, i.e. the sequel to a movie, or the finale of a television show.
[quote]People who flip to the last page of a book before starting it have the better intuition.[/quote]
I thought i was the only one who did that
Yes because having the ending spoiled means that I didn't just have the ending spoiled.
I never get pissed at people that spoil.
Something that really pisses me off is shit stories that will spoil themselves.

I remember I found out about the spoiler from Portal 2 about a week or two before I played it, and it definitely took a toll on my experience. My goal was no longer to carry on the mission ingame, but only to get to the plot twist. I would say I was definitely negatively affected by spoilers in that way.
Spoilers for movies, I have less of a problem with. All of Pulp Fiction was self-spoiled (read the wikipedia article) and I still enjoyed it. I guess as long as it's not a plot-wrenching twist I'm fine with knowing what happens.
Before starting Mass Effect 2 I read the Art book and thanks to that the game's ending had been spoiled. Cheers Bioware.
ITT: spoilers. spoilers everywhere.
If you havent played Heavy Rain, and i would tell you the name of the origami killer, wouldn't the story be spoiled? Yes. VERY HEAVLILY.
Didnt actually read a single post in this thread because i feel like there is spoilers everywhere in this thread.
I go by "If I after finishing reading/watching/playing something don't feel like doing it again sometime later, then it wasn't worth the first time, either."
If a story gets unlikable because of getting spoiled, it's a bad story.

Spoilers have never actually spoiled anything for me anyway, i still enjoyed the movie/game alot.
I don't really give a shit about spoilers.
In fact, most of the time I like to read the last pages of the book first.
OP, that's your opinion but you don't still need to make everyone else disregard plot spoiling.
If i had Elfen Lied spoiled for me, for example, it'd ruin the impact of it.
Or KOTOR
Or Of Mice and Men
Or HL2 Episode 2
etc
I was spoiled to half of portal 2 thanks to a walkthrough on youtube. :saddowns: was hard to resist
I can't complete a game if I have the end of it spoiled.
Rick Dark begs to differ.
I had bioshock 2's good and bad ending spoiled for me so I kinda gave up playing. I had just bought the game to :(
My friends spoiled EVERYTHING about the Harry Potter series when I started reading it. I'm kind of glad actually, it gives me a chance to connect the dots
I disagree with the article. I was playing the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion, and somebody spoiled it for me that [sp]you take over the rule after Sheogorath[/sp] and it kind of ruined the experience, because all throughout the main quest I was waiting for that part to happen.
I mean, in a way yeah, it's good to be able to see what leads up to an event, but if you're watching a movie, and some massive turn happens, the shock and awe of it isn't going to be as severe when you know it's there. That's my opinion anyway, I still get pissed when things are spoiled.
[QUOTE=cyclocius;31936472]
But knowing the events of a story that are strictly within the scope of the story, Ie, a character dies, can really ruin the feel of a story for me. Earlier today, I was reading the Deus Ex thread and I foolishly clicked a spoiler. I know one that a character will die. While it's true that I can't say if this'll spoil my enjoyment and shock at the death (as Steam hasn't unlocked the bloody game yet) I can't help but feel like I've spoiled that part of the story for myself.[/QUOTE]
If you actually read the rest of the spoilers, you [sp]can save malik[/sp], knowing those things made the experience better for me.
I really don't care about spoilers, at all, it never affected my enjoyment of the story.
That is why once I beat a game on release day I go to school the next day and tell everyone the main character dies.
I'm still going to bitchslap someone if they reveal the plot of something I'm interested in.
[QUOTE=Jurikuer;31936031]Everybody knows Snape kills Dumbledore, but does anybody know who truly killed Dumbledore? Drako! Shocker ain't it? Now watch the movie and find out how it all comes together. Enjoy your increased enjoyment rating.[/QUOTE]

Link defeats Ganon and saves Zelda.
This is stupid, it's different for everyone. I personally cannot understand how people can prefer things to be spoiled, I prefer to see things, to read things, to experience things and feel involved rather than know it's coming. Yeah sometimes people say that the journey is the reward, but it's really not when you know what it all leads up to, all tension is lost when you know what the end is, who lives, who dies, etc.
Somebody spoiled portal 2 for me ):

Same here, but then I forgot about it while actually playing Portal 2.
