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 to tighten its user reviews to stop people abusing their system, popular aggregate site News 4 Gamers has now been turned into a minefield of Gears of War 2 spoilers … for no real reason other than the fact that people are dickheads.
The boys from Ripten discovered this new page in the Big Book of Gamers Being C*nts when they found that arseholes were posting legitimate-looking news stories that led to pages containing possible details about the Gears 2 ending. 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 with Gears of War 2 plot details. If you are a big Gears fan 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 the Gears series isn’t even known for the kind of deep plots that we’ve seen in, say, BioShock or Metal 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.
