There arn't any spoilers that we don't know.

I think the worst one is that 'you start on a train, headed toward city 17'

 

[merc]

lol it didnt give away any spoilers or nothing... but then again, i guess i kinda already had the game ruined for me partially seeing as how i watched the ending cut scenes and beat the boss of the game... lol

-merc

 

[heed]

I did not want to read it...I looked at some screenshots but not the whole thing...I don't want PC gamer to spoil to for me..

then i say you don't read it. i read it very sloooooowly, as if i was going to sneak up on some nasty spoiler, analyzing each word as i read to try to find a pattern of spoiler sentence development and stop short of reading the actual spoiler.


ultimately, like others in this thread have said there really aren't any major spoilers in the PCG US review. a few minor ones, but i don't think there's anything you couldn't figure out or extrapolate if you've already seen all the released screenshots. except maybe for that one about....

Spoiler

Dog. i didn't read all of it, but i think i got a pretty good idea of what the spoiler is. again, something you could probably extrapolate if you sat and brainstormed how Dog might interact in the game.

note to dream431ca, the above "spoiler" is not really a spoiler in essence, but my analysis of the spoiler i'm talking about may actual spoil something for you if you read it.

so again, i say if you "really really really ridiculously" don't want to have any surprises ruined before you play it, even the small ones then don't read that or any other review, and stop reading this and other HL2 forums. you do that and you'll be fine. :thumbs:

on 2nd thought, the one thing i did regret seeing in the PCG US review was....

Spoiler

the tiny cropped screenshot showing the newspaper headline.

again, one could probably guess that's what's going on, but it still sort of made me sad that i ruined that small part for me.

wow what a ramble. boy do i need sleep.
