My big brain is beyond caring about spoiler. I read the deep lore, a cheese stratz guide, then a fan summary of the plot, then I watch a let's play and only after that do I play the game saying "haha I knew that would happen".

Spoilers when it's still reasonable to have not seen or experienced something I'm on board with, but getting mad about getting like, a 3 year old thing spoiled is dumb unless it's in a context where people can avoid it. Like The Witcher 3 and bloodborne threads still keep sppiler tags going.

I am either very invested in not being spoiled or I don't care depending on the product and therefore I subscribe to the idea that everyone should just respect each other and not spoil things outside tags.

You should be "one with the herd" and not spoil poo poo outside tags. If you haven't been spoiling despite not caring about spoilers, then you're doing great! Keep it up!

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Are you Autistic?

You said "I don't understand other people's feelings about spoilers, and they get mad at me if I spoil things/get close to it."

Why is it so hard for you to figure out why people might not want their experience of something damaged by someone else telling them details about it they haven't learned for themselves?

I just assume the first couple of months are going to be nothing but black bars. It's never made sense to me, since if I was trying to avoid spoilers (and can't post things for fear of spoiling someone else) I'd just stay the hell out of the thread, but that's the way it's done. So just wrap your posts in black and don't worry about it. Everyone is happy that way.

I'm not normally a person who cares about spoilers, but the experience of playing Bloodborne blind was something really special. So like, why ruin the chance that that'll happen again by watching some guy with a bad British accent play a game I'm about to play for dozens of hours two days before I buy it?

I'm probably going to watch some spoiler footage when it becomes available because none of the Soulsborne games have quite "clicked" for me and I want to work out if this allegedly more action-focused game might be more in my wheelhouse.

Also to see whether or not there's some sort of massive horror twist halfway through because I am a tremendous wuss when it comes to horror in gaming and don't deal with it very well so that would be a turn-off.

Pretty anecdotal, but a lot of people who are playing the game early are saying it’s really hard.

I'm trying to imagine the kind of person who would watch a stream of this game instead of going in blind, but the concept is just too alien to me.

I ate up Dark Souls streams leading up to its release. I specifically remember one Japanese player streaming it at just about any hour I checked. A day or two prior to street date, I spent at least a few hours watching him throw himself at some random boss to no avail. Didn't know who the boss was, since the name was in Japanese, but I sure found out who it was when I got to the last boss of the game! It ruined it a little bit for me, so no pre-release streams for me.

There’s a (first level spoiler)tutorial boss you’re supposed to lose to, like Demon’s Souls. He looks pretty tough too. I wonder what you get for beating him, if anything.

There are people who still insist that Bloodborne, a game in which you can spam invulnerable dodges all day, is the hardest game. It's possible that it's the learning curve (attacking to parry instead of rolling around) just means their reflexes learned from the last decade need retraining. It's also possible From went with the meme and it's a painfully unfun game meant for streaming. Either way I'd like to know before purchasing, so please everyone keep posting streams.

none of these games are that hard, really, once you put in some time. there's this twitch guy I watch when I am bored who has apparently made it his life's work to play through all the soulsborne games in a row without getting hit once. and he does it, over and over. it's a purgatorial task and I question his sanity but he does it.

I don't think the base content of Demon's, DS1 or DS2 were that bad, just decently challenging. They upped the difficulty significantly with DLC though, especially with DS3 and Bloodborne.

Ironically I think this game will be harder at first for Souls veterans because they'll have to overcome the dodge muscle memory.
