Hiya4321 10 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've noticed that alot of opening movies for VN's show CG from the game, and this would be ok if it didn't spoil anything. But it does, alot of the time, it shows the kiss scenes and other such 'spoiler-type' CG. Does this annoy anyone else, or is it just me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desi 53 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah its a bit annoying, especially when the CGs they show are towards the end of the storyline. I usually skip the intro if they do show CGs like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exsilon 15 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yech I knew what you mean. And yes I annoy but it too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maths debater 10 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Well most of the OP's double as game trailers so showing which girls are available is an important marketing tool. That being said spoilers are always bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneManArmy 82 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 It's sometimes a little bit annoying but not really a big pain in the ass. I mean sure, they will show some cg's but it's not that you would understand anything by just seeing them. I personally forgot nearly all of them after the opening anyway. Bad memory ftw! \o/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hiya4321 10 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 I personally forgot nearly all of them after the opening anyway. Bad memory ftw! \o/ I get that sometimes too XD But I seem to pay more attention to them on future playthroughs (´・ω・`) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxar 13 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 It doesn't really annoy me, but I guess it takes some of the "specialness" of the CG away. And well, most times it is just the kiss scene, or the CG's of the beginning of an H - Scene, and I'm kinda expecting these things to be in it, so I don't consider it a spoiler either.

RJei 12 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 It doesn't really annoy me but teases me to find the scene or something , well that's just me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haika 12 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I don't find this that annoying at all. The point of this kind of opening is to get you hyped about the game, as long as they don't show EVERYTHING a little spoiling doesn't bother me. For the most part you know what is going to happen anyway, and the cg's alone don't give you the whole story. Sure it would be great if the creators made full new intros(like each video for the routes in Katawa), but I can still enjoy a recycled art intro if done decently.

Arco 10 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 My strategy to combat the spoilers is to watch the intro, then immediately start paying attention to what happens afterwards and don't think about what I just saw. That way, most of the things I saw slip out of my memory until I see the scene again, and then I'm like "Oh yeah! I remember this CG now." It's a pretty effective strategy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitetragedy 23 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I actually enjoy the Introduction video. The intro gives me a better idea of the game I'm playing, so I don't get half-way into the game to find out that this game isn't for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evenlaist 11 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 It doesn't happen to me, it makes me curious instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shunrei 10 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 it doesn't annoy me, but what annoys me the most is when i lurk around in a certain site and then looking for a reviews or something like that yet someone comment on the review stating something like "i have trouble fighting this" or "this girl should be bla bla bla" spoiler thingy like that dammit that breaks my mood. always at least till now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bane Doyle 10 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It doesn't annoy me so long as it is not for a game heavily based on story and (even then) does not give away the very end. Personally, I feel that it gives a great sneak peak and makes the potential players what to get to scenes they see. For example, the opening to Corpse Party. It spoils MANY of the bad endings, making you think characters that may survive will die, and it is not clear until you get your first bad end with one of those CGs that the opening doesn't really spoil much at all that way. However it does COMPLETELY spoil the ending of the first chapter, and taken out of context you have no idea what the hell is happening. The trailer, on the other hand... completely gives away things you learn in chapters 2-3 (and even 4) or a 5 chapter game. So the game has, at least, a less spoliery opening than the English trailer. But, to be fair, it is an AWESOME trailer and it gets you pumped for the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GenjiChan 10 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Spoilers can be helpful... in avoiding "bad ending" VNs that would have ruin your day and finding VNs worth playing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ajlez 10 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hah, I really hate spoilers, I don't want any portion of a story revealed to me before I come to it myself. It's like having my own life spoiled, I want to experience something as it comes. I want to be stupid and in the dark before I see it. Fortunately, I usually remember NOTHING about an intro because I don't know the characters yet. When they give you an intro after playing a bit, I intentionally don't pay much attention Quote Link to post Share on other sites
