Greetings.
I\'m not sure how everyone else feels on this, but I\'d like to ask for a favor from the great posters that make up this community. :)
Please be careful when talking about a game so that no spoilers are given without warning. Or if you need help in a game, please ask for help and don\'t specify the problem in the thread..
(i.e,. I need help in Silent Hill 2) instead of (I need help killing Joe the last Boss and solving the super-cool water puzzle)
There\'s nothing worse than spoilers (for me) .. and I\'m sure there are others that feel this way. I\'m scared of reading anything regarding ICO or SH2 lately, because I don\'t want to risk finding something out.
Are there any others that feel this way? Or am I just being stupid? ;) Or is everyone just going to ignore this thread? Please think of your fellow gamers.

I understand and agree completely. I hope I didn\'t spoil anything in my mini-review of Silent Hill 2 - I did try to keep non-spoilage in mind. People just need to use common sense regarding what is or is not a spoiler.
I don\'t have anything against spoilers as long as I\'m given warning in the subject or at the beginning of the post.
-
I totally agree with you. No spoilers with out BIG WARNINGS!!:thepimp:
-
Many apologies for any info disclosed on SH2, but I figured it was right at the beginning of the game, which I\'m assuming most have past. Ico has online help, if any is needed, at PS2ign and I\'m sure that a SH2 guide will be up shortly. With this in mind, I\'m sure the talk of sploiler content should be limited in the near future.
-
I agree. Please if you are planing to include spoilers on your thread give us warnings on the title and in the beginning of your post.
-
*phew* I thought this post would go unread. I\'m glad to know there are others who feel the same.
Not to worry Sara, you didn\'t spoil anything @ all. Same goes for you Zav. Actually most people have been good with not spoiling things lately. I just thought I\'d bring it up to be on the safe side.
/me smacks this thread right back to the top.

*hates spoilers*
hell, when i say something about FF7, i still put a spoiler warning up...if someone hasnt played it, im not taking someething great away from them

Please Use the Help board for topics where you are requesting help as well

ddaryl,
Thanks for making this a sticky. I appreciate it.
I almost considered not coming here till I beat ICO + SH2, but that may be a little extreme. ;) So I posted this thread instead. I sure as hell wouldn\'t want to know anything about upcoming games, MGS2, DMC, FFX, etc. It\'s gotten to the point, that I won\'t even look @ any new screenshots of those games, because when I play them, I want to be completely surprised. I am super anal, I know. :D

Not a problem, its a legitimate request that some need to be reminded of
tough luck on the screenshots, I\'m a screenshot junkie
-
heh, ive avoided the forums since ico and sh2 came out...i havent even gone back to the thread i started "ICO and SILENT HILL 2" because i mainly asked for people\'s opinions of the games and was afraid that someone would have blurted something out that i didnt need to know yet...
but anyways....theres this really cool part in silent hill 2 where this guy finds a head in the toilet...lol just kidding :laughing:
(i hope that really doesnt happen or ill get banned) :sconf:

There\'s a vBB hack which enables a "spoiler code" thing. Basically, any text inserted between the [spoiler] tags is automatically changed to black and placed over a black background with the words "SPOILER" written on top. To read the message, you just need to highlight the text. Hard to explain, but I\'ve used it at another forum and it\'s worked quite well.
Unfortunately, I don\'t know where to find it, but maybe SoulGrind or one of the other admins can look into it.
-
Yeah, they use it on the Home Theater Forum as well. Nice feature.
-
Yes, I know how you people who have been "spoiled" feel..I now know the ending to ffx thanks to some moron who replied to a topic (the topic wasn\'t even about the story it was about chocobo racing..) and he just said it in like 2 lines.. without warning..
He got banned for like 2 months the moderator told me :D
I don\'t know THAT much about it.. but it still sucks..
Anyway, if anyone spoils ICO for me i\'m gonna KILL THEM!
:laughing:

10-4 sir.

But you\'ve got to remember that there are a lot of people in these forums from over seas and we get games a few months after the US
-
If somebody makes a spoiler without warning my suggestion is "FOREVER BANNED BURN IN HELL!!"
Its up to the mods to delete all threads that has spoilers without warnings.

Fair enough, but why would one venture in to a help thread for a game that they don\'t have, or will not have for some time. Don\'t get me wrong, I am not for game spoiling content, but if someone has clearly titled a thread "I need help in game X.." don\'t be surprised when after clicking on this thread that there is talk on some details within the game.

That\'s a good point,.. but those aren\'t always the circumstances. Sometimes people tend to spoil something of the game in a normal conversation. If you read a thread regarding help in Game X then you\'re obviously expecting spoilers. It\'s when a normal conversation is taking place that spoilers would piss me off.

I just skim over it.... Real easy too.... Just read one or two words.... Then skip to the next paragraph.:D
I hate reading spoilers..... Especially MGS2 related!... I can\'t stand knowing the best story line in the world, before I even play the game!:evil:
-
Why don\'t we have a Spoiler forum only (like we have for hints and tips)
this is where we can post spoiler information and know that the only people who want to read it will be people that have completed the game or need help at a latter stage of a game.
-
Im glad that u brought this up to peoples attention. I hate it when games are spoiled for me.

That\'s a great idea! But I doubt it will come into play....:(

Yeah, nobody wants spoilers. That\'s like buying a movie and reading the end.
-
I completely agree.
I\'m trying to be as spoiler-free on movies I wait as possible ( of course counting out Lord of the Rings - the story wich I remember quite well ), and I have been trying to be as spoiler-free with games as well.
Especially with the story-driven games. I don\'t want to know ANYTHING about the plot of FFX before I can read it from the game-manual ( or the back of the cover ).
I\'m that serious.
-
yea hate it when people do that with anything
whether it be games or movies or sports
just plain annoying and sucks - and it can be so easily remedied by a simple _ SPOILER ALERT
