In relation to PS3 games, what does the term spoiler mean to you personally? Is it when the ending is revealed, or key plot points are explained? Or is it more subtle facts, such as character personalities, weapon/mp map lists/descriptions, and soundtrack lists? I was just curious as to what everyones' opinion of this loose term is.

To me a spoiler is when someone reveals some major plot points about a game, movie etc.'s story or ending. Knowing all the major beats in the story before you have the chance to experience it yourself just lessens its impact.

I'm not particularly anal about spoilers unless they reveal significant plot points. For instance, **SPOILER (I Am Legend movie)** there was a review of I Am Legend that I read before the movie came out that said the dog died AND said that he eventually found other humans **END SPOILER**. I was just reading the review to get a general gist of whether I felt I would like the movie. Those are 2 HUGE plot points and I was genuinely angry on those 2. Minor things like characters, etc don't usually bother me (unless their appearance is supposed to be a surprise). Example: **SPOILER New Indy movie** I just was reading a random article that said that Abner Ravenwood is alive... Marion Ravenwood is in the 1st movie and said her brother is dead. This is apparently one of the main motives that Indy has for finding the skull.

It has a lot of variations, if you are super hyped for a game, almost everything is a spoiler for you

Before a game is out - Any non-official footage or details released or provided by non-official sources.

After a game is out - Any specific plot points or footage revealed without consideration or warning.

To me, a spoiler is a reveal of a major plot twist/ending of a game.

Anything not initially known about a game can be a spoiler.

i really dont like how people complain because someone spoils them a game, if you dont want anyone to spoil you a game you just dont seek for it in the internet :?

yeah, it isn't that hard to write a spoiler free review, and with these "professionals" writing these reviews you'd think they could figure it out.

Spoiler = When any part of a plot about a game is told to someone who doesn't know, and when used on the forums it is extremely painful for the receiver.

Someone here told me who died at the end of FFVII: CC. Even though I could have figured it out, I still wept.
