Hi there people at Bioware/EA an associates...
Right now I'm really mad with you and your decisions to advertise the game through so many spoilers. Latest videos reveal so many twists its just disturbing! Thane saying "I'm dying", staff saying that depending on loyalties and "approval" of your team the ending will vary, that Shep can die at the end - to name the few...what the f*ck are you thinking?

Is this kind of aggressive bombardement with game info really necessary? You spray the details in such quantity that I'm worried is there anything worth knowing left?
At least give us poor suckers a chance - place SPOILERS in the media you release! Some of the scenes montage is upseting as well, I'm not a moron not to think and predict certain outcomes of what you show. Its cinematic expirience, and you show parts of them; if you know how filmmaking works and you know the ploys used then you can predict what will happen or what is being shown (not seeing the whole picture).

Gods I hope I'm wrong...nevertheless the advertisement and marketing is going downhill...

Just my opinion mind you.
Thanks.

First of all, no swearing in the forums, please.



Secondly, all of our marketing could be considered to have spoilers in it. We cannot custom-tailor our marketing to satisfy each individual's spoiler tolerances. Some folks don't want story spoilers, some don't want character spoilers, some don't want gameplay spoilers, some don't want ANY information, and some don't know what they don't want until it happens.



If you know of some way we can hype the game and attract a huge audience like we've done with ME2, and still satisfy everyone's spoiler tolerance, you've got a million-dollar idea there.

Haha, shouldn't have watched all the videos if you didn't want spoilers.

If you don't want spoilers, avoid sites like this. I'm not trying to be flippant, but you seem foolish if you expect to participate in this forum and keep your ME2 virginity completely intact.

[GrouchoMarxist]

You can be sure the game has much more to offer than the stuff you saw (I'm speaking of official marketing, you may have watched/read reviews and leaked videos), Bioware, or any sane company for that matter, would not show you the meat of the story before the game actually came out. I think the official spoilers work very well as an appetizer.

lmao, i don't feel sorry for people who, go onto the internet themselves, and decide to watch videos about the game in question and then have the nerve to complain about it. No one forced you to watch the interviews, trailers, etc. It's your own fault.

I watched a couple video's because I wanted to see GAMEPLAY..and got spoiled on Cerberus rebuilding a certain protagonist...I was NOT happy...



just because he was looking at video's doesn't mean he wasn't trying to avoid spoilers.



though his post goes a bit too far...to blame him for watching any video's is assinine

The weird thing is that you wont reveal anything really obvious (garrus as a squad mate for example) but feel fine in telling us a serious plot point like thane is dying... what gives?

Trust
me you haven't - I'm even more spoiler paranoid then just about any
fan.  Marketing hates me because most of the demo content you see has
to be vetted by me first.  There is at least fully 70% of the game I've
not let anyone show yet. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wizard.png[/smilie]

Doesn't matter what he was or wasn't looking forward to seeing when he watched a video. When you watch trailers or interviews about a game, you should know that risks come with it and there is a chance that a spoiler will be in that video.

If you want to be 100% spoiler free, then just wait till the game actually comes out, and then go and RENT it if you have any doubts about gameplay or whatever. Easy as that.

you guys shouldnt have told us shepard could die... i mean it would be a jaw dropper if we found out on our own.

[neubourn]

I think he should also take into consideration that some of those "spoilers" may be planned specifically to throw people off by changing their expectations. Take that Thane "Im Dying" spoiler...yeah, it seems like a plot twist that should have been left in game, but you assume that it is to be taken at face value. Maybe hes not dying and simply lied, or maybe his species are like reptiles, and simply form new skins when they die...who knows? There can be all kinds of twists that contradict what little you see in these videos.

Would it also have been a jaw dropper, after dedicating 40 or so hours of gameplay, that if your Shepard did die, that particular save file would be useless for ME3?

I see that bit of information they let loose, more of a warning than a spoiler. Makes sure you know the consequences of not doing everything you can to ensure at least Shepard's survival, so that you don't end up with a glorified "GAME OVER" ending.

I'm not sure what your question is. If you die, it's because you blew through the game. Surviving is based on gaining loyalty and upgrading your ship/equipment.

That's why Bioware let that information out, so people wouldn't simply blow through the game.

There are always some spoilers in trailers. And if they don't use ingame material, people will still complain about fake marketing.
