Re: Soapbox: I Miss the Mystery of Video Games

I have to say I agree completely with this article. I find it frustrating nowadays that I know everything about a game before its even out. Gameplay, story, and all of the little secrets and treasures of all games are given out through an obsession to have so many gameplay videos and ads on tv be released ahead of time. Playing games like kingdom hearts and Jak and Daxter and all of the countless Gameboy advance games were amazing because I knew NOTHING about them. I wasn't subscribed to any magazines at all and the only preview things I would get would be those AMAZING demo discs that they would have at local game stores which were full of amazing ps2 demos and were full of mystery. I really miss those days and thats why I have watched not ONE second of gameplay videos or read anything at all on the upcoming God of War game. I know nothing at all about it( enemies, story, characters other than Kratos and a kid) and I am sooo excited because it will honestly be the first time that I go in to a game with pure mystery since the "GOOD OL' DAYS". Im ready for the experience of a lifetime, as I hear its a completely revamped experience. No media for me lol Im remaining in the dark.
