Spoilers can ruin this game

[ninjaa93]

leaks from people with early copies or most likely from a leaked trophies list i fear it could kill the anticipation for the game especially if the spoilers are less then satisfactory for some fans.
What do you guys think ?
lets also hope when the demo comes out hackers dont find anything on disk lol.....yea backlash all the way to hell

I think it won't matter unless they do it an entire month or two before the release and even that will only make one or two people forget the game. Most are going to be in it for the gameplay.

Let's face it, people will only watch the cutscenes onece and then they'll start skiping to the game every playthrough after so it won't matter if anyone posts the story before the release. The story only really matters the first time around.

I guess I'm one of the few that plays them for the story and to hear the voice actors. The gameplay is fun, but I can't base a game on just that.

I still find that rather ironic, that people play games not to play but for a story. I mean, they are games.

Where all that depends on you as a person. You've got the choice to or not to look at spoilers. If you see a thread or article on leaked trophies then you don't read it. If someone goes posting up clips of the game's ending you don't watch it.

But I know from Resident Evil 6 you have to be careful where you go on the net too. A lot of people posted spoilers on tumblr nearly a week or 2 before most got it. So if you're really that desperate I would avoid sites where people might ruin it for you and any threads where someone might bring them up. It's what I'm going to do anyway :lol: so if you don't see me for about 2 weeks before DmC's out you'll know why lol

All comes down to will power really.

I still find that rather ironic, that people play games not to play but for a story. I mean, they are games.

I do that, often the story will come first for me and gameplay second. It's more like taking part in an interactive film or show like The Walking Dead game. It's why I don't like racing car games or that many first person games with senseless shooting, no story to them.

For me DmC's like looking forward to a film you'd see in the cinema but being able to hold a controller in your hand and kicking butt while doing so. I reaaally want to know what happens. So yeah, I can get that with wanting to play a game just for the story.

 

[berto]

Hmm. Not I.

I don't play all games for gameplay or for story. I play for whatever I find appeal at.

For games like racing titles I play for the fun. MotorStorm isn't something I'd turn my back on because it has no story, I get a kick out of it just the same. If a game has no story but I'm having a blast then there is an appeal to me. Doesn't always have to be an exelarating experience like a racing game, it could just be a beautiful game, like Ico, or adictive or a visual feast type game like Lumines and Child of Eden (which I don't think anyone else likes).

If a game, however, has more story than game then, depending on whether or not the game is even playable, I'll stick with it and play on just to see how it turns out, like Matt Hazzard. Not a well made game but the story was worth the frustration.

And there are degrees of balance on each end. There are games like Silent Hill that play like crap but are just damn awesome to experience. So as long as the game deliver somewhere I'm happy to play.

There are, however, alot of games that deliver on both fronts ao to then I say rock on!

So, as long as I find a certain appeal to the game in any front, whether it be story, gameplay, music, or visuals, I'm there.

totally agree. there is so much i want to know. if they want to reveal new things let it be non spoiler things like combos or something. otherwise it could just ruin the suspense and mood of the game

 

[Paexie]

Spoilers do ruin games that rely heavily on story. Even more when that story correlates with the gameplay for example Silent Hill2 and Bastion. The story just spices the experience.

I do place gameplay over everything else, but having that atmosphere and urge to see where the story will take you just gives it that extra special oomph. It makes it memorable, even bad games can become infamously memorable (Bionic Commando, anyone?). It's kind of a sin now not to have some backdrop or setting to your gameplay mechanics.

I really hope I can avoid seeing spoilers. It's almost impossible nowadays.

HO HO HO spoilers arent that bad as long as they dont spoil the ending of the game, they wont get coal in their stocking

 

[788Masri]

i think spoilers can ruin a game. spoilers can ruin almost anything really. for example two years ago my friend ruined the ending to fight club for me....it didnt make the movie bad. i still love that film. but it was just took me our of it. as such i really wish capcom wouldnt show as much as they have. leaving Vergil a surprise would have blew my mind

HO HO HO spoilers arent that bad as long as they dont spoil the ending of the game, they wont get coal in their stocking

OR WORSE!!!!!

ive made this joke before but u were making it too easy

That's a good thing for this game.

The thing I'd be most worried about regarding the spread of spoilers is when/if retailers for whatever reason break the street date and allow copies to sell days earlier, allowing for whatever lucky few who get their hands on them to post spoilers galore on most Devil May Cry boards.

Hopefully there won't be too many damning file names hidden in the demo for potential hackers to unearth, I would think that the build they enable us to play would include only the stuff We actually require, nothing stupid like VergilDeathScene.vid or whatever.

 

[Razyel]

trophies... I don't mind if the ones related to story are hidden.

and..well basically every new trailer is also a spoiler so how much damage can one file name do?

And for example DanteDeathScene.vid could be for the death animation when your health bar drops to zero, so it would be very inaccurate leak, besides who is nerdy enough to go look for file leak information?

My brother tends to be the same way, so I get what you're saying. I, for one, look more at the different forms of creativity because that's what I'm most interested in when it comes to pretty much anything. So the story, art, music, they are what I care about most. I've played some racing games, but I won't play them unless there's someone else playing them with me. The gameplay alone can't really keep my interest unless I'm beating the crap out of something. Then it's more therapeutic than anything.

I don't mind spoilers because then I focus on how the story built up to it. It's like how I'll sometimes read the last page in a book and then can enjoy the journey so I can understand it more. But that's me.

Well, over the summer I was DYING for DmC so much. I couldn't wait until Comi-con to play it (which I did, and it was awesome). So I scoured the internet looking for spoilers about the game and all I found were hate forums
I guess it really depends on the type of anticipation you have, but I'm still going to watch the full playthoughs for this game to find out if there are any sex scenes that I should skip in case my younger siblings are watching me play

yeah and some people just post big spoilers right in the thread topic or if its something like dante getting white hair,thread topic OMG look at this!!!.click. SPOILED

 

[Dante47]

I find story in games relevant, and at times important to the franchise. Devil May Cry... not so much. I do hope that DmC has at least a competent and hopefully fantastic story line with strong characters to fall back on. ^_^

 

[V's patron]

it can but just try to avoid sites that would give you spoilers.

 

[berto]

Not I. Spoiler 'em all on me. I don't care enough about that stuff, I'd sit and youtube the whole thing right now if it was available.

Even on story heavy games like Silent Hill 2? I'm sure I wouldn't have the same opinion if I was spoiled on the events early on. It ruins the air of mystery and the overall atmosphere in my opinion. Bastion is a great mix of story and gameplay, too. Braid is close but there isn't really a clear story on that one. Being spoiled on the story kind of ruins the journey.

I like gameplay heavy stuff but sometimes the story can really ruin the experience for me... like Rogue Galaxy; great controls, rpg elements, cool weapon system but it has a super predictable characters and cliché plot besides the tedious and repetitive missions.

On the other hand you have good stories but sub par gameplay like Nier and the previous titles from NT.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: porque no los dos?
