She could almost pass for Lagertha Lothbrok with red hair. It's the similar hairdo.

It was only a matter of time before Youtube drama started creeping in.

EDIT: It's just two small channels, I thought it was much bigger than that.

Current spoiler culture is pretty ridiculous, especially in the face of growing evidence that spoilers enhance your enjoyment of products the first time though.

I don't mind spoilers in movies. I do mind them in games. For games I have to have some sort of motivation or I lose interest in playing (just how I am. Was the same about riding my motorcycle... I liked going on rides but I had to have a destination or I wouldn't want to ride). Story and discovering stuff about the world and the story are *huge* incentives for me. Finding info on the story and the history of the world in the game is some of the best reward to motivate me having a goal over anything else.

And yea, in general in game design you do want to have rewards to motivate people to want to get past the obstacle.

Not to mention that spoilers literally change the game, especially if it's a game with choices. Spoilers will influence the choices you might make, how you react to and approach certain situations, and so on.

Games is the only medium where spoilers can alter the work itself.

Thanks but once the work weeks starts I can't play until next weekend. Was hoping to get a copy today.


As far as spoilers and this game, I've been trying to not watch videos because i don't want to see all the creatures and environments. To me that's as important as anything story related. Don't want to spoil the exploration and discovery of the game.

I keep hearing on twitter that the game is supposed to unlock early when you buy digitally, but I can't seem to find any evidence. Is there any truth to it?

I stumbled upon a video and thought there was some big drama going on.

It turns out this idiot was responding to a video with almost no views.

Its a channel with about 500 subs and she shared her opinion on the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvfUiYzhXe8

Its only a 5 min long analysis but I don't see anything wrong with it.

And another channel with over 200.000 subs decided to shit on her video and send his minions to down vote her video...
Basically a bunch of Gamergaters who got triggered because she used the word "feminism".

I pre-ordereded it on PSN for full price. So if the game turned out trash (which is highly unlikely), you only need to remember that there are people out there who'd feel more miserable than you.

I got one thing to say since the positive impressions you've been seeing match my own, but holy fuck the story beats in this game are great. I never expected something like this in an open world RPG, it's is done so ridiculously well, surprise of the year for me as far as that aspect.

That's really good to hear. I'm really excited to see how they make the world make sense with robot creatures.

I don't know if it was posted before, but on PSNProfiles, they have the trophy list up, but make sure you make it so that secret trophies aren't shown.

It's a well-designed open-world game without trudging through mounds of monotonous, bloated ubi bullshit and you fight giant robot creatures in a well-designed sci-fi story about how humanity causes its own ruin.
It's also the most beautiful game I've ever played.
