Switchblade *CAUTION ENDING SPOILER* - Page 2

blade002 · 10 March 2006, 04:38

Oh just great!. I was looking forward to Giving the 1st Switchblade a go and now ive been shown the ending!

Why didnt you put 2 and 2 together and think something along the lines of " hmmm.. well Blade002 asked what Switchblade was like, so he is obviously interested in playing it.. So i wont put the ending up and spoil it for him! ".

This is as bad as dying to see a movie and then someone tells you what happens at the end!??.

Well in reading that, it doesnt mean that pictures need to be included to tell people that youve done it. since you have already told them in text!.

Hence the reason why i scrolled down even further, to see what you had written, but without knowing that you had included pictures.

Anyway, doesnt matter.. im not mad, just dissapointed. its one of the few decent Amiga games i never really played, and now i dont feel like playing it. sniffle. waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

maybe in future one should open a thread for game ending pictures where it says "SPOILERS" to avoid scenes like that.

Sounds like a good idea Sarek. Ive got nothing against the guy who did it, since he didnt really have any intention of spoiling it for me, but it would have been nice to play that game and not know.

Yeah i cant see the point in posting the picture to show the people who told you how to do it what it looks like?. They have obviously already seen it!. oh well. Here's hoping that situation wont come up again. lets pray for forethought

nope, I collected all pieces but couldn't put them together yet

Blade DOES have a point.

Ending pictures should be LINKED.
In HOL it is different. Since Cody usually puts up more than 50 screenshots per game, you have enough chances to stop scrolling down in time

Hey.

I can see now it wasen´t wery clever to include the ending pictures, and i am sorry for my mistake, and it wont happen again!

But still, i think you should give the game a try, even now you know how it would end..

Personally I have no problem with this at all. The main enjoyment of a game is playing it, not seeing the odd static picture from the end. You don't get the atmosphere or sound from a few screenshots.

Codetapper, some have, some have not.
Although spoilers may even cause you to be BANNED elsewhere. NO JOKE. Especially in movie/film forums, you can easily get (preliminary) bans if you spoil multiple times. Even on IMDB, during writing a film review, I personally had to read myself through warnings that I will risk a ban if I only play with the THOUGHT to include a spoiler in my review without (deliberately?) checking the appropriate "spoiler(s) included" box in the options.
You see? This is taken more seriously in other places, although I even tolerate people who have to laugh out loud about this, because they just consider it childish. Opinions differ. They usually would. - Gladly.
