I have avoided spoilers for this game, as I've been meaning to get to it. I'm worried that isn't gonna happen, and wonder if I will get the same experience others talk about from watching it

Not quite. But it probably also depends on how you play the game to some extent. If you approach it like CoD and let the story take you, you’ll probably have a good experience. If you go in thinking you can figure it out or outsmart it, you probably will and it won’t be as good.

I’m gonna be that person and say that if you haven’t made the effort to play a 12 year old game by now, you never will. Not belittling your effort to avoid spoilers though.

My friend, I still go back and beat NES games I never played before. Age doesn't make a difference to me, it just isn't high on the priority list

It isn't super difficult to avoid, the game doesn't come up super often. Typically when it does people want others to experience it blind and try not to spoil much

[–] falidorn@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well I’m one of those people you mentioned. Get on it!

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, until I find a permanent place of residence my PC will remain in storage. It's not looking like that will be happening any time soon

  1. It's been overhyped a bit.
  2. It's not getting any better with age.

You should probably just play it when you get a weekend to yourself. It's not that long and it's worth playing through.

No, watching a gameplay won't give you the same experience. Keep avoiding spoilers, it is really best experienced blind, although knowing there is something to experience might weaken it.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I've always known there is something to experience. Have a general idea from context clues as well, just nothing specific or certain. Maybe one day I will get to it. I'll just jeep doing what I'm doing for now. Thank you for your response

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah you gotta play it IMO.

Just go and do it now and don't read anything else.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I would if it was an option

[–] NOOBMASTER@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

you should have played it
