Post A Rant about Spoilers

This started with something I gave in response to somebody almost giving away something big in a game I am highly anticipating by not using the Spoiler feature or warning ahead of time. I just wanted to kind of ask my fellow ps2fantasy forum members to try and use the Spoiler feature and also warn if they think necessary in the thread title. (I know most of you do, but some don't.) I think a lot of other forum readers would appreciate this, too. It also seems to happen alot with noobies, so it's not completely their fault. Maybe it just especially bothers me or am I not alone? WHat do you guys think. Do you think this is a big problem that needs to get under control or something not to worry too much about?

Sorry for taking up your time if my complaint sounds too anal for lack of a better word.

You're right Red, spoilers suck both game and movie. A lot of people seem to have the habit of babbling on about a movie, some fellow at the gym found it necessary to tell me most of the new matrix story without me asking about it....thanx dude .

In real life it's sometimes difficult to stop it, but here it's very simple like Red said use the spoiler-feature...

People should learn to think before saying anything. There are few things as annoying as having a game spoiled for a videogames player

Yes, often i play games long after they come out, and if i mention it in a thread, ive noticed that some people love to mention stuff like "great game, too bad the ending sucked so bad", basically giving me no reason to want to play it. Now if i dont own the game its one thing, but if i do, then yeah, it can really suck. But the fact is, often people do give a game or movie away and make little to no reason to get involved with it. I can draw examples from other forums, im sure there has been a game or two here or movie here that has kinda spoiled it somewhat, but not totally...

WEll, don't kick yourself over it. I'm sure it would have been more exciting to find out what you mentioned while playing the game, but it's not like you gave much away, anyway. Just something for people to keep in mind when posting is all I wanted to say. Did I say welcome to the forums, btw? Welcome
