Chill Zone (The Tavetaan)

I keep logging on to the ME:A recruit site to check if a new one is available. I'm too afraid to venture into the twitter thread now that we're getting closer to release to see when the next briefing drops. I don't know why I want that helmet so much but I do.

On a side note, I did get a chance to start up my third ME:3 playthrough this past weekend, hooray! This is my first attempt at a complete renegade run and I'm finding the Priority Tuchanka mission to be extremely difficult. I just love Wrex and Mordin too much, I...I just can't betray them!

This is the way I see it:

1) IGN may say it is spoiler free, but their idea of spoilers is subjective and maybe different for you or I. Unless they plan to ONLY talk about combat, customization, graphics, and sound....their preview is not spoiler free. The moment they talk about characters, locations, and early plot setups....their preview is no longer spoiler free.

2) The reason why fans complain about Bioware not showing enough is cause they are used to Bioware showing off a lot of plot and character details for their games before release. So with MEA they tried a different approach and fans werent used to this thus they complained. Note how fans never complained about CD Projekt, Bethesda, or Rockstar Games, not showing off any plot/character details because those companies have a reputation of never doing that in the first place. When they talk about their games, it is always in the realm of gameplay and options and VAGUE plot/character stuff. When Bioware talks about their games, it is always in the realm of locations, characters, and plot and VAGUE gameplay/customization stuff.

If a child is used to his mother feeding him at the same time 3 times a day....that child is going to cause a fit if the mother now only feeds him 2 times a day and at random times.

In short, Bioware fans have been conditioned to the "lets reveal everything" style of marketing from Bioware so when they tried something similar to other devs....fans had a gag reflex.

Thanks to you and Taliwhacker but can you add whether the sites talk about characters and the plot. An example would be if they mention the names or races of characters such as squadmates?

Some of us would rather not know whether any particular NPC we meet can become a squadmate. Not knowing that helps us interact with them without metagaming.

Oh no I understand that, I just don't understand why you would be on the internet.  

Oh no I understand that, I just don't understand why you would be on the internet.  It's the non-genocidal version of a jewish person in Nazi Germany saying "I'm just going to keep living here, I'm sure they won't catch me."

I personally am on the internet because I want to know everything about gameplay and multiplayer and so far the few spoilers, like characters, have been light enough for me to stay.  I'm not going to spoil anything for you but you will not succeed as long as you stay on the internet.  Things will be spoiled for you.
