Some people just cant think.... (multi game spoilers inside)

Post » Tue Dec 16, 2008 3:32 am

I really hate to call out someones name on a bonehead move, but its for a good cause. Hopefully people will read this, and utilize the knowledge for the future.

Spoiler games include: Killzone 3, God of war 3, Dead space 2.


Todays topic... USING DISCRETION when creating threads regarding information that could potentially be spoiling.


I was browsing the threads and noticed a thread labeled "Crysis 3 in london? (spoilers inside)" or something to that effect. SO..... let me start this off by clarifying the obviously in-obvious fact that letting the users know there will be a 3rd and that you have an idea on a location, serves well as a spoiler on its own... DONT YOU THINK???

Now, im not really shocked by this.. and its not unexpected... i knew before i even opened this game that there would be a crysis 3.... why? BECAUSE GAMES DONT DIE ANYMORE! For some reason or another... developers just cant bring themselves to end the **** story.. games are going about their immortal lives much like old "friday the 13th" and "nightmare on elm street" movies... you just cant kill the stories... and its pathetic....

Lets see here... examples shall we? certainly...

God of war 3: Kratos kills all his rivals on Olympus, and subsequently, kills himself... post end game "secret" movie shows a blood trail where he was lying down leading off the mountain. hes obviously not dead. And considering hes died and gone to hell and back at least once in every game made... its nothing too shocking... but i was hoping to see the series end... with epic awesomeness

Killzone 3: HELGHAN IS NUKED!! WITH THEIR OWN WEAPONS!! The entire planet was destroyed by a viciously fast volatile reaction from all the weapons stored in the new chiefs ship. Yet in the end, somehow, helghast were seen looking for him, and hes still alive by escape pod safety. How they intend to carry the war on without any population left? Beyond my comprehension... but im sure they will figure something out

Dead Space 2: Despite all the fuss, racket, and lives sacrificed to protect the marker..... you find out theres like **** 50 more? I mean why did anyone give a **** about saving that one? really? A game that wreaked of "old news" gameplay and enemies promises to bore us again another day with the other markers that were replicated. i mean seriously... Dead space couldnt even come up with new and interesting ideas for its second installment... i really doubt they have anything exciting coming with the 3rd...



So why is it that games just wont die anymore? I dont know. And while I just assume anything that has more than 1 installment in it already, or came into the scene with any hype at all will just automatically come with the "**** sequal pending" advisory warning, I really dont want it spoiled for me in the event that it isnt.

So please... to all who read this.. be mindful of what is in your titles... thank you. rant complete.

um just so you know if you have researched anything they had said that crysis was set to be a trilogy and warhead was just an addition. it didnt matter a crysis 3 was in the works from the beginning

well thats why i put the game disclaimer at the beginning.

as for the trilogy being planned, no i didnt know that, but thats just it. not everybody does. i never played the 1st one, but i dont like knowing the end of something before i finished it for myself. what if the sequel DID die here? u never know. But now i expect one of those short and vague "capture your interest", useless endings and i dont even want to finish the game anymore... i like epic endings. Silent hill did it great. they still got so much room for growth its ridiculous. and they have never used a gateway ending. I HATE those... you spend 16 hours fighting through hell to reach a 30 second clip telling you "HAHA gotta wait till next time! and we're gonna do the same thing on that one!" its just so played out... its totally unoriginal. cliche even. every time i see one its like "omfg are you serious? again?" lol

so now you see my issue. id have been disappointed at the end of the game. but at least id have finished it. now im not even going to finish my campaign. for what? the story doesnt end. ill come back and play it if/when they decide to conclude the story.
