this only stops you from fully review the story aspect of the game, unless the gameplay graphics and sound all take a massive downturn at 95% complete?, i think this is a good idea i for one have been waiting ofr this game for a good few years now (too long so much so the shine has gone) so id ont want some reviewer telling me the ending is good or bad and how it happens, you know journalists cant keep their traps shut for 5 mins!

It's actually a shame that games hacks are perceived as the kind of people who dislike their readers to the extent that we would give away endings.

Personally, I recall sneaking into the see Jaws when I was a young 'un, only to have someone behind me saying to his best gal "Oh, yeah, this is the bit where the head..." I can't even finish that in case it ruins it for someone else.

@haritori It could have a really crap ending. If the game very much on hinges its story, that could would be a big mark down that reviewers never get to

@Joji It's been in the pipe so long, I'd laugh if it was actually good. All the Wake wavelength radiation I've been exposed to has been tightly focused by a giant hyperbolic mirror, then bounced off the blogosphere.

So, yeah, my expectations are pretty f**king low.
