Are YouTubers showing too much?

[Jajanken]

I just wanted to open up a discussion to see where the community stands. Bandai themselves released every single playable character before release which is fine but how do you guys feel about EVERY characters full move set and gameplay being out and even the Story Mode out before we even get to put our hands on it? I’m not a fan of it at all but I want to get your perspectives.

I just ignore it. It’s a normal human choice to either watch or ignore. If you ignore it then you won’t get spoiled

Of course no one is forcing me or anyone to watch it..but the frequent thumbnails on social media and YT..you see stuff unintentionally..I miss the old days where everyone plays fresh on day one no spoilers /:

Free will is such a beautiful thing.

Yes, this happens with one of my other favorite games warhammer. They literally get so much time before the game that they show everything. Before you say I have no self control we live in a world where the algorithm literally shows you in the thumbnail and recommends so much more.

Good to get a response that isn’t snarky..but yea I feel you on that. The algorithm jams it in your face it’s crazy

Yeah, i don't know why so many spoilers so soon, like dude, there is a video showing all the costumes already like wtf????? Soon there will be some 4 hours longplay of the game or speedruns... wait, there are speedruns already...

Why not wait until october or like some days before launch?

There will be plenty of black listings to share around. That’s for sure

glad to see there's at least some people with their sanity maintained.
i've been (against my will) staying off youtube and all social media specifically to avoid being spoiled on anything, these inbr3d pieces of sh1t have 0 consideration for others and spoil everything in the youtube thumbnails and titles, or in their tweets without putting in any hashtags or keywords that would allow you to mute it (imagine i had to go out of my way to mute the name of every single character that's in the game so i don't see anything on my twitter), not to mention that the websites themselves don't offer good solutions to avoid content you don't want to see, i've been hitting "not interested" and "don't show more of this channel" on youtube since the previous leak (imagine going on twitter that morning and seeing the biggest surprise that the devs held onto for over a year spoiled by a 240p screenshot that's all over your feed... where's my choice in avoiding what i don't expect? they ruined the hype of the final trailer and left a bitter taste in my mouth) and i still get spammed with videos on my home page... it's crazy!
it's really stupid how they let this sh1t happen... and the only thing worse than the pricks who spoil everything is the mfs with fried dopamine receptors that consume it and give it traction for the algorithms. do people even have a concept of patience or waiting for the game to release to explore it anymore? i mean this is the most anticipated DBZ game in 2 freaking decades, 17 years of waiting for this sequel to be a thing and now that it's finally a reality you really want to spoil everything for yourself WEEKS before it even comes out? the loads of demo footage were at first cool but then it started becoming a content farm and you just couldn't escape it for months. i came to terms with having been spoiled on so much concerning the initial 50 or so characters in the demo because as a BT3 veteran i wanted to see how this sequel played and compared to the past one, but when they dropped the second demo with 77 characters i knew this game was gonna be ruined for me for real.
for some reason people wanna see everything included in the game before it comes out... not that it concerns me that much what they do with their lives and how they ruin their own experience, but it's actively affecting me and others who are sane enough to say "i've seen the marketing for the game and am convinced to throw my money at it, now i wait for it to release so i can explore it myself and be surprised with what the devs didn't tell me in the trailers and promotional material i actively made the choice to consume". there's no "choice" in what you see or don't see when the clickbaiters are actively spoiling things in the thumbnails and titles... like what am i supposed to do? navigate youtube with my eyes closed?
these idiots will not enjoy the game when they put their hands on it for that long because nothing will be fresh for their eyes or their minds to experience, and you'll start seeing every social media and youtube being flooded with complaints about "lack of content"... well OF COURSE it's lacking when you spoil it for yourself weeks in advance like an inbr3d r3t4rd.
TL;DR spoiling the entirety of a game for yourself by seeing another person (unfairly) play it weeks prior to release is like saying you enjoy sleeping with your girlfriend when the reality is that the next door neighbor is doing the pounding and you're sitting there in the cuck chair watching like a sorry excuse of a man.

YES. I've been holding my tongue but the fact that they are allowing such display of content weeks before official release is ridiclous.

I'm fine if this is how Bandai thinks would help market Sparking Zero, but sometimes its TOO much

At first in like July or something it was really cool seing gameplay and character movesets but now everything the game has to offer is right there on youtube. I avoided watching any (except the official trailers) because I still wanna fkn discover the game when i play it for myself lol

lol I get where you’re coming from..the big YouTubers in the community are using this as an opportunity to get their views and subscribers up which I 100% understand..but I am truly surprised at the amount of people consuming it and not wanting to start off fresh on October 7th/8th. Like you I try to avoid it but damn there’s only so much you can do

I don’t like when games, anime, shows or movies give too much away before the actual release smh..but it works unfortunately so these companies have no need to stop doing it

Yup when the full roster wasn’t out I didn’t mind at all bc I still had over 100 characters that I didn’t see..but now it’s very different that every character is available

It's a little much, but I think they shouldn't be allowed to both get the game early AND show a lot of the content almost a whole month before the game is even released.
