How can you know this without playing the game.

The entire game has been spoiled already.

Which leads me to WHY would you want to know this without playing the game?

I got spoiled, and I like MGS so much I can't help but keep going and get spoiled.

I like MGS for the gameplay sooo it doesn't affect me any.

Some people (like me) aren't affected by spoilers.  To me, a good story is all about the journey, not the destination.  I already know how MGS4 ends but that isn't going to stop me from playing the game and enjoying it...

...unless of course the game sucks!

Apparently he didn't plan out the story, and improvised. Who'd have thought? Since MGS4 ties up all the loose ends, it doesn't give me much confidence hearing about this...

The question is whether or not anyone is surprised.

This is how it's for me too, pretty much. I can read spoilers and while I like being surprised during the game, it's not a game ruining experience for me. I don't really care too much, usually.

everyone knows my feelings on this!

if anything I feel if a story can genuinely be ruined by a single plot twist it's probably no damn good anyways.

the one thing that always bothered me about the metal gear series, beyond metal gear 1 for the PS1, is that konami is a really competent company and have a team that can actually make a good game. if you look at something like MGS2 (which this game reminds me a lot about, given all the ridiculous shit i have been hearing left and right), it's still a really well done game and fun. however i attribute basically none of this to kojima and pretty much think he is the luckiest guy in the world to have a budget and skilled team at his feet willing to do whatever shit he puts on paper.

kojima is living the rpg makers dream...

dude that's uh

I know it's Psyburn but cut it out. I'M THE HARRY POTTER GUY and honestly if this was a 9/11 topic (there is one) and if it was in the title and if it even said PSYBURN: CLICK HERE and inside SNAKE IS ACTUALLY KOJIMA or whatever that's all kind of different (I'd think it was funny and cruel but at least funny would be there) butttttt don't post the spoilers in a place that has always had a defacto rule about spoilers!
ahahahaha are you kidding me

how is this ANY DIFFERENT AT ALL from you being a dick about harry potter spoilers


heh... its different because it's in another forum (hey wait you did this shit in general that's exactly as bad and you have no room to talk whatsoever???)


also i don't like reading spoilers because i kind of GET A KICK out of being surprised and i think if the plot twist is there, it's there to add to the experience and it can't do that if you see it coming!  it doesn't ruin the game for me or anything but it's not so much that ruining a single plot twist KILLS THE STORY so much as it has a negative impact on the overall experience.

I don't know if any of these posts concerning spoilers are because of what I did to Psyburn but to make things clear: The posts I made with spoilers were just made up to fool Psyburn. So if you read anything in here and thought "shit, I got spoiled", then you can live on in peace.
Ock ock, Ack ack!

I did it in post 9/11, not general, and yeah that does matter because it changes the context entirely!

also I find the spoiler/plot twist thing has so little impact at all on a story at this point in my life that if I genuinely feel the experience was affected by it in anything more than a remote disconnect it probably wasn't worth doing/listening/reading to.

oh thats cool then.

i don't think it does because the topic wasn't like ryan's HEY CHECK OUT THESE SPOILERS it was actually trying to spoil the book which is still as malicious as doing it in the vg forum!  it's not like people know going into the p9/11 that it might be filled with spoilers!

they should nothing is safe in 9/11 NOTHING.

also not to justify but basically one of the SA forums that is their joke videogame forum did the same thing with MGS4 (stickied a thread saying X DIES) WHO WANTS FREE SPOILER PICS.

also contextually there are maybe zero GW members who would do more than fume for a month over a Harry Potter spoiler but I seriously think Psyburn might slice his own throat if MGS4 gets completely spoiled, this is not a joke.

on the topic of spoilers, if anything they have made me more excited about this game, not because of the story necessarily but because there is so much fan service and im a huge faggot who loves fan service so yeah i can't wait.
