To anybody who thought that this “Web 2.0” bullsh*t was the beginning of a glorious new era, look what you have wrought! Just days after Metacritic had totighten its user reviewsto stop people abusing their system, popular aggregate siteNews 4 Gamershas now been turned into a minefield ofGears of War 2spoilers … for no real reason other than the fact that people are dickheads.
The boys fromRiptendiscovered this new page in theBig Book of Gamers Being C*ntswhen they found that arseholes were posting legitimate-looking news stories that led to pages containing possible details about theGears 2ending. When you consider the evaluation process that goes into a post being approved for N4G, that’s the act of a real sad prick who’d go this far.
In addition, private messages are also being sent on N4G withGears of War 2plot details. If you are a bigGearsfan and picked the game up today, it would seem that N4G is a Web site to steer clear of for a few days, since some people can’t help being worthless prats with way too much free time.
Considering theGearsseries isn’t even known for the kind of deep plots that we’ve seen in, say,BioShockorMetal Gear Solid, I can’t comprehend why someone thinks that it’s important to “spoil” this. This is just … lame. Be it the work of PlayStation 3 fanboys or simply people with tiny penises trying to feel important, it’s utterly pathetic. I am sometimes ashamed to call myself a gamer, knowing the term also applies to people with these social problems.
