I'd had Fight Club spoiled for me, but still really enjoyed it. Watching it, I think I'd have figured it out before it gets revealed anyway, but I still wish I could have seen it not knowing.
Watched Easy Rider last night, [sp]If I'd had the ending spoiled it would have had less impact on me, I completely wasn't expecting it.[/sp]
[QUOTE=FlashFireSix;31967594]Somebody spoiled portal 2 for me ):[/QUOTE]
I think it was spoiled for everyone when that official Xbox achievement site went ahead and announced there was an achievement called [sp]The Part Where He Kills You[/sp].
Sometimes slight spoilers (such as hearing that someone dies) interest me more, but for the most part I'd rather just not know about it. Like with Red Faction Armageddon, [sp]the part where Kara dies really caught me by surprise and pretty much cut off any chance for a happy ending[/sp] (or I assume, since I haven't finished it yet). If I'd known that it wouldn't have been nearly as sad.
EDIT: There are actual spoilers in the tag just in case anyone hasn't finished it yet.
[QUOTE=Kwaq;31934087]someone spoilt the ending to the usual suspects for me
i really would have enjoyed it more if i didnt know that [sp]spacey was the soze guy[/sp] (yes it is quite obvious but there were open possibilities)[/QUOTE]
Dear god I remember that ending, it was so shocking when I first saw it. Really clever ending.
Actually, spoilers are important in modern day stories, in which plot twists play a significant role. If we're talking about classical tales here, they were more well written (in my opinion) and usually spoiled themselves in the beginning. I believe that it takes more talent to write a story that can move or impact an audience without shocking them with a plot twist.
I had Dead Space 2 spoiled (willingly, I watched an LP of it.) The LP was really enjoyable and convinced me to finally get the game, but I watched it all the way into the end. It was really hard to not watch it, addicting maybe, waiting to find out what happens next. The ending, or at least part of it, was what I'd hoped for, [sp]only to be broken and turned into a good ending. Ellie rescues Isaac after he destroys the black marker.[/sp] It wasn't exactly what I'd hoped for, but it would've best fit the game if you beat it on Veteran or Hardcore. When I finally played the game, I remembered everything. The twists were a lot less shocking, and the ending was dulled down a bit. The gameplay remained thrilling though.
Also, was anyone else shocked by Eli's death in Episode 2? It got spoiled to hell and back on here, and I couldn't believe all the people whining like little bitches over it. After playing and beat the game, Eli's death became expected after GMan talked about "unforeseen consequences."
[QUOTE=Ardosos;31965737]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.[/QUOTE]
Oblivion and its expansions were very predictable, which ruined the ending to the Shivering Isles. Before that, however, Shivering Isles was an amazing expansion (better than Knight of the Nine, and especially the horse armor DLC, which felt useless as shi) and made the game whole. Me already knowing that [sp]you kill Jygallag and take over the realm[/sp] really dulled the experience.
the reapers lost
This is interesting. So no one minds me saying "It was earth all along" or "Soylent green is people!" ?
Someone spoiled Episode 2 for me, ruined the impact of the ending because it was one of those endings where the death just happened out of the blue.
However this study seems to focus on books and not games there is probably a big difference to how we react to them.
I hate being spoiled in books. I read them because they're exciting, dramatic and because of their plot twists. It's usually unpredictable and you don't know much else than what the author is telling you, and I like it that way.
I prefer to read fantasy, horror or just supernatural stuff in general because anything can happen. I hate reading historical books or just 'reality'-based fiction.
Oh yeah? Serious A Sword of Ice and Fire book spoiler [sp]Arya Stark dies. [/sp] now don't tell me that doesnt ruin it :v:
I would say I enjoyed Shutter Island spoiled a lot more than I would have otherwise.
Yeah, despite what some fucking study says I get pissed when people spoil shit unless it sucked, then I don't mind. I prefer if they ask and say "okay, I'm going to spoil this a little bit" and I can scream "NO DON'T" or just casually mutter "go ahead I don't give a fuck about a Rob Zombie movie." I like that choice.
Whenever I read a book, I always read the very last page then start reading.
[sp]Eli dies at the end of Episode 2[/sp]
The tweest in the Sixth Sense actually shocked me- I was just staring at the tv with my mouth open while the credits rolled. If that had been spoiled for me, I never would have been so emotionally involved with the movie.
Of course, it makes the movie very rewatchable, as you look at it with a new perspective.
i find that with extremely specific spoilers, such as X character dies, that can completely ruin the whole experience because you can't help but think in every scene with said character "is this where they die?"
Also, sometimes I like to pick up a book/film/etc without even reading the blurb/watching the trailer. I find that often they reveal too much of the story line, title and genre is enough for me. So far I've never come across anything that I didn't enjoy in this way.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;31938946]I would have enjoyed Bioshock a lot more if I hadn't known the secret about Fontaine[/QUOTE]
My friends ruined Bioshock 3 minutes into me playing it. I finished it but I was annoyed.
I just started reading the books from A Song of Ice and Fire, having watched the first Season of the HBO show following the first book and having read some spoilers about the books on the wikia, I still enjoy it because of how it is written and the all the details that you don't get from spoilers.
Man, the worst spoiler I've had thrown at me was Persona 4. I get it a year or two after it comes out and one day my friend comes over and sees the game box and says, "Oh you have Persona 4? Man, when I found out [sp]Adachi was the killer[/sp] I just yelled at my TV." Half the fun of mysteries, especially murder mysteries in my opinion, comes from trying to solve the puzzle yourself.
And yes, I spoilertag'd for a game that is 3 years old because it pissed me off when I learned it early.
Funny, Max Payne did this, it basically spoiled the game at the start.
[QUOTE=-Ben_Wolfe-;31934755]On the other hand, it depends on the spoiler itself. For instance, Citizen Kane is considered one of the best movies of all time. Part of that is because of how the story is told leading up to the big revelation of what 'Rosebud' actually meant to Kane. Well, the first time I watched Citizen Kane I remembered a Family Guy episode where Peter blatantly spoils the movie. For me, it ruined most of the enjoyment of getting into the movie. Since I had known A and Z everything in between felt less important to watch (I still watched the whole movie, and loved it. That is just somewhat how I feel pertaining to that spoiler).[/QUOTE]
I got Citizen Kane spoiled for me because of an episode of Colombo. I hate how everyone just assumes that everyone has watched that movie.
[QUOTE=zerothefallen;31934080]I hate when my anime is spoiled and DOES ruin things
prolly same with books[/QUOTE]
Ga-Rei Zero did that well
[QUOTE=zombini;32011608]Funny, Max Payne did this, it basically spoiled the game at the start.[/QUOTE]
It's not spoilering if that's how the plot was made.
For me the type of spoiler matters, if you told me that at the end of HL2 Ep2 that there was a big battle with the Combine and you win that wouldn't spoil it for me, if you told me that [sp]Eli dies[/sp] then you'd have spoiled it for me.
It's more the unexpected plot twists that suck when spoiled, like [sp]Snape kills Dumbledore[/sp] since nothing in the entire series suggested that would happen. Hell, all the books before the 6th were Dumbledore endlessly going on about how much he trusts Snape.
[QUOTE=Smooth Jazz;32011821]I got Citizen Kane spoiled for me because of an episode of Colombo. I hate how everyone just assumes that everyone has watched that movie.[/QUOTE]
Same with Die Hard.
[QUOTE=The DooD;31934064]Yeah, I felt that finding out [sp]that Cerberus were indoctrinated in Mass Effect 3[/sp] kind of spoiled the story a bit. But now I'm more interested than ever to find out how this came about.[/QUOTE]
