    I honestly have no clue what Bing.com is or its purpose, but its officially on my shit list.

    No spoilers:
    While looking up "answer funky student persona 4 protractor" or something along those lines on Bing, since I was that bored, I clicked the videos page just to be curious, and there it was. One of the videos on the front page, right smack dab in front of me, was a video labeled "Persona 4 Final Fight - *************.    ********* = Final boss in P4

    Yep, so thanks Bing for ruining my Persona 4 Enurance Run experience.


    Anyone else have any horrible stories of morons ruining P4 for you?

    Someone posted in ER comments who the killer was. I didn't believe that was the killer but it turned out to be true. So yeah I guess I got spoiled.

    *Shrug* I don't give a shit about 'Bing' but it's not like that was the search engine's fault. This is the internet, your going to have to work to not have things spoiled for you.

    I didn't like Bing when I saw they were spending tons and tons of money to promote another search engine.  Bit of a different search engine, but still just another one.

    That's why I try to avoid the internet while playing a game I'm enjoying.

    Possibly it's hard because people tend to throw out spoilers without even thinking, like you just did.  :-P  I don't care really, but you did just spoil it for whomever else hadn't yet known.

    No because I pre-ordered the game and finished it months before the Endurance Run was ever even conceived, like a normal person should :p

    When you search the internet for your game, you run the risk of something like that happening. I will now exit this thread, as I am afraid of catching a spoiler myself, both watching the ER and playing the game myself.

    Yeah unfortunatly these types of games always require something to be looked up and i'm always very cautious when doing it. Even in google when looking up the name of a different game it had "XXX turns out be a traitor" in the discription text.

    But the only thing worse than a spoiler is an incorrect spoiler, I spent 40hours being suspicous of an 8yr old trying to work out how she could possibly throw people into the tv... was glad when it wasn't true but totally ruined the character for me.

    Bing sucks for sure. But as far as P4 goes people can spoil away to their hearts content. I have no intention of playing it.

    Dude, you gotta take block out anything about a game you're about to play if you don't wanna be spoiled.
    I managed to go 7 months without getting MGS4 spoiled, before I finally got a PS3 and ravaged thru it.
    I was ever so careful about it and totally managed it. Just as I did with P4. Even though I got the bad ending first, thank Cthulhu I had a close save.
    Then the normal ending (which I instigated with a faq). And the True ending which I managed to find myself after a subtle hint from a friend.

    I'm the type of person who looks up all the spoilers to begin with. I can't resist. I can still finish the game and be satisfied so it doesn't really matter to me. As long as it's spoiled on my own terms, I'm okay with it.

    @SJSchmidt93: It might be something that has the name of the person and then their personas name or something like that.  I don't know who the killer is but that is probably what it said or something to that effect.

    @SJSchmidt93:  The whole game is centered about mysterious murders and you trying to figure out who the culprit is. So yeah, the name of the boss is a pretty big spoiler.

    The guy who sold me the game spoiled it for me. I was picking it up at Gamestop because I was stuck with only a PS2 over Christmas break and the guy gave me this funny smile and asked if I was into Atlus, which I wasn't at the time. I told him I'd only played one RPG before and it was nowhere near as "Japanese" as I heard this one was, which I guess made him decide to gush about how there's a blonde, feminine boy who runs around in a bear suit.

    Needless to say, I was very surprised when Yosuke ripped off his head. "It's empty inside", indeed.
