I have a mayor dilemma, I have stopped myself from watching the gameplay vids on x-play and reading some reviews in fear it will spoil my (hope) delight the first time i play it. Or should i just watch and read.

Would like your thoughts from those who have and havn't please. devil.giframpage_ani.gifsuicidal.gif

Gameplay is ok.. STORYLINE DONT WATCH.

Bingo.

 

I mean, if you went over to a friends house, and he was like "OMFG Check out the MGS multiplayer Beta I've got", would you be like *cower* "NO DON'T SHOW ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"?

I have the same dilemma and I've decided not to watch gameplay videos. Let it be a surprise wink.gif .

I'd advice to stay away from any footage. I don't think it spoils you but it makes the waiting even worse.

I've seen a good amount of the gameplay footage, and for me it's helped to excite me more, while also giving me a more realistic idea of what to expect. For example, the pop-in of real traffic as opposed to the appearance of traffic when in a helicopter.

 

Just only watch the professional stuff. Not like webcams or whatever that'll spoil things for you.

If you see a cut scene, turn it off immediately. Also, don't read text in the live feed rooms.

 

Idiot people love to spoil the game; even the players who don't warn people of potential missions.

I think the video review on gametrailers.com is fairly enough till Tue, and good enough to keep you in constant euphoria wink.gif

I watched it, im still hyped about GTA4... even more so... you dont get the same vibe as if you play the game from just watchin the vids.. plus there not great quality, but its nice to hold you over till the game is in your hands!

I havnt myself because I can imagine it ruining the gameplay experience and the graphics for the first time I play it on my HDTV, this is also mostly for the fact that I will be getting it in a day/two. If it was a month ago I would have watched every single video and bathed in its glory biggrin.gif

If you've managed to stop yourself this long, then don't stop now.

 

Okay, it was amazing to finally see gameplay, but it ruins the mystery about the game a bit then. I would hold off now, and so when you see it for the first time, it's when you put it in your console for the first time.

 

That's my advice.

I've held off. But after seeing the new update on IGN with screenshots and gameplay vids I foiind it hard not to watch or look at the screens.

Still not watched or read and reviews either though.

Just tommorow night to get through now.

Only Watch the official vids to avoid spoilage

icon14.gif yeah, IGN has some good ones along with the review, G4 has some pretty good ones, and the GameTrailers review is by far the best...and no spoilers at all monocle.gif
