( not a big deal anyway) - technical Install details ... ( not a big deal anyway) - Characters X or chartars Y appearing ( whom Konima may or may not annouced) - Plot twist X which is unknown ... - Boss battle X details ... Imagine how people would of felt if months before Halo 2 came out reviewers were talking about playing as Arbiter ... etc .. Besides games shouldn't be reviewed so early and atleast Konima hasn't threatened to black book any company which publishes a review of 90 -or-less before the release date... imo anyway later reviews are much more credible since they can ignore the games hype... |
Spoilers should absolutely not be included, I agree, but those first 2 issues, and the fact they aren't important, mean Konami should not have limited reviewers. People have a right to know if cutscenes are extremely long. I love them in MGS, which means I will absolutely not skip them, but if they are very long I need to know I need a block of time to play. Install requirements each chapter is annoying, so hopefully it isn't long. I'd prefer a longer install just once.
