For real,I might have to start using incognito or some shit.
Gotta be a way to avoid these awful random ass gaming channels that spoil everthing.

Some people are so desperate for clicks they won't hesitate to spoil the game. Thankfully this is no PS4 exclusive mean we don't have to deal with angry Xbox fans trying to spoil the game in comments or YouTube videos, lol.
Personally for me, I have rarely been spoiled accidentally.
All of Latin America? That makes more sense I guess.
It's funny seeing Peruvians asking where to find a video game. Hell, they sell it on mercadolibre too.

This is one bizarre ''incident''.
I wasn't joking in the OP when I said to be of varying levels of wariness depending on varying levels of caring about getting spoiled.
Pretty sure there are enough people literally looking to ruin it just for the sake of it and all it takes is a tweet or FB post. And unlike e.g. The Force Awakens with a limited screening, the game itself is out in the open for a lot of people who legally ('legally') purchased it.
Heck, nowadays the troll doesn't even have to be the person owning the game. It'll happen regardless.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
sadly I was lol
TFA opened my eyes as to the lengths people would go to ruin things for others. People actually donated (read: paid) money so that their spoiler would be displayed on people's streams.

Just noticed that myself. And it has the smaller Pegi logo instead of the ugly FSK one.
Considering to order from somewhere else to possibly get the game a bit earlier, but I think that there's amazon preorder stuff that I would miss?
Does amazon German have more than the sword? Because for example at spielegrotte you get that one too

For everyone worried about youtube recommendations spoilers, can we just start watching a lot of random stuff like food channels and whatever, will that change the recommendations ?

In some spanish forums you already have to thread carefully. People already opening threads with spoilers in the title.
A King's Tale (the prequel Side-scrolling Brawler game) is Amazon-exclusive here in Germany, I think. For both the standard Day-One and Deluxe Edition.

I know of 2 places here in Maryland that usually get games early. Gonna attempt to call them next week. Got some time next week to play and the week after for me is hectic with work related things.

Exactly the store I was thinking about and regarding the amazon exclusives, there's also an extra weapon (Gae Bolg spear) and the "travel pack".
Travel pack video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAIJ1FROU7s
Looks like the Masamune sword always comes with the game, no matter where you buy it.

Yeah TFA was insane. People even changed their usernames to the TFA spoiler on Steam and XBL.
People in EVE naming their stations Game of Thrones spoilers was both terrifying and hilarious.
I'm basically spending the next week and a half with my eyes half closed.
I caught the unedited post. Thanks.

What happens if what's on your avatar pic actually happens?
Either way you're screwed because if you change it, you kinda admit that what was there before is how it turned out. At least that's how you can interpret it, haha.

I know your avi is a joke, but if it turns out to be true (and the death flags indicate that it is) then its just gonna be mean :'(
you should have used "stella dies" instead
If he doesn't know it's a spoiler, then it's not a spoiler.
But, that said, people are definitely going to react like it IS a spoiler anyway. Still might wanna change it back, lol.

I don't know what guys are even talking about. Old Noctis is not a spoiler.
Can you PM me those spots?
It's the hat and you know it!
See this spoiler doesnt give the context of how he died, so it wasnt ruined for me.
Everyone was in a rush to troll people but who killed him is the bigger deal.

Great. Now for the rest of the people in the world, it might have been a bigger deal.
And by quoting my post instead if spoilering it you didnt help.

Source? How do they think that would work?
Unless the game has some kind of call home function during startup that will check activation status, but I doubt it.

Gotta hate when misinformation like that spreads.
They never said that they will be blocking gamers who buy the game early to play it. Beside, there is no DRM like that on the Xbox One or PS4, it only exists on PC.
I swear the way information sometimes travel down and warps is hilarious.
"Near the end of the game there was some different and clunky mechanics, like the game was trying to be a different genre" evolves into "The second half of the game is shit"
"We are aware of this but its hard to stop someone from playing a disk of the game" evolves into "We are going to start blocking people from playing the game"

That's not what I'm talking about. I wasn't calling you out for spoiling. I was saying that it doesn't matter so much that you don't feel like it's a spoiler, but others do, that's why spoiling things the way they're talking about is a bad thing.

Depends on the percentage of bugs left in the final gameProbably used the blood of QA testers as a sacrifice...

The one where they said they would try to do what they could? I took that one totally as a "well, we'd love to stop them, but that's totally not possible" kind of thing anyway. I have no idea how people were getting upset about that at all. It was as non-answery as it gets.
Heck, it reads to me like a reply to someone having suggested it, anyway. I never took it as anything resembling a genuinely-considered motion.
Yeah, I totally read it like it was a diplomatic response to some people who were getting up in arms there or something along those lines.
I'm pretty sure there's nothing anyone could do anyway.
