discussion Going dark

With the game out in just over a month now, when do you guys plan on going "dark"? If you're unfamiliar with the term is basically means avoiding all things Assassin's Creed until you've completed the game. Are you a fan of reading up on spoilers? Do you enjoy keeping yourself in the lurch? Have you kept yourself in the dark since it was announced back in February?

Fact of the matter is previews, reviews, videos and discussions are going to start taking place very soon in spoilerific details, so are you going to keep your head down until completion or keep on the trodden path and read everything no matter what?

Personally, I'm fine with reading anything unrelated to the story. As long as the story isn't ruined for me I don't plan on going completely dark, only on content concerning what happens in AC3... which makes up a lot of the discussion but still. Hopefully the game won't take too long to complete from one side to the other (2 weeks max.) and then I can replay it for trophies n' shizzle. ;D

Other then reading up threads on Neoseeker, thus watching quite a few trailers, I won't do anything different. Like LOD-squa I won't be reading any reviews a few weeks prior to the release.
I'll just go through the game casually and will read up once I've finished up the story line.

For me, no spoiler can keep me from enjoying the story, even if I end up knowing what happens I won't go seeking out story stuff, mind you, but I won't go avoiding it either.

I don't care tbh, I had my ending spoiled for ACR. I need to look up for glitches and version etc. stuff before buying it.

Does anyone know when there'll be reviews?

Not really, just let Dragoon the-nob pay attention to the forum. Because if you say it that way, it means that the same thing would apply to me.

Yup.

Just say you're going on holiday for 2 weeks in the tummy aches thread.



EDIT: And then if you finish before that say you ran out of money or something and had to come back home early.

Only way to avoid spoilers while moderating the forum is to get the game early on and beat it in one day
