People who saught out spoilers aren't true fans anyway. Do you base your opinion of a movie off a review or leaked spoilers without ever watching it? This spoiler culture is toxic. Reading bullet points of key events, or watchng grainy footage without context is hardly going to evoke the true experience of actually playing the bloody game. You can't truely judge a game without actually playing it for yourself, even watching a lets play or watching someone else playthrough. That only reflects their experience with the game.

I can watch a lets play and form a different opinion than the one that's playing it,what you are saying does not closely reflect on all people that have not played the game.

I have every right to judge the story and if i liked it i would have stopped watching the lets play and bought the game,i like to spend my money on games that entertain me.

You can judge the story to a certain degree, but to truly judge the game you need to play it. You cannot judge how the gameplay 'feels' for example, and you certainly cannot gain an accurate reflection of the overall package. Watching a games story unfold is not equivalent to experiencing the story unfold. Again, i'm not saying you can't get any sort of insight from watching a trailer or lets play, and I have no issues with people trying to make informed monetary purchases, but it's superficial compared to the act of playing it.
