A couple months ago I beat BioShock for the first time. Yes, I know, I was very late to that party, but I did enjoy it quite a bit, and feel sufficiently prepared for BioShock: Infinite. However, I did find that my enjoyment of the story was very much lessened by me knowing the twist that occurs 2/3s into the game. It didn't ruin the game for me, but the story doesn't stick out in my mind as much as say KotOR, because the twists in that game came from completely left field. 
 
Anyways, to my point, what games have been spoiled for you, and did they affect your overall enjoyment of the game?

=( KOTOR, I don't know how much it affected my enjoyment, but I really would have liked to know my reaction to that part.
 
I'm glad no one spoiled Bioshock for me though.

Red Dead got counterspoiled for me. When a guy made a thread about which 3 friendly people die in the end, I thought I had been spoiled. I was lucky to find out that it was all a lie, because as we all know, only one friendly person dies in the end.

Yakuza 4 was also mindly spoiled for me, by the game itself! In the trailer that plays at the start menu, Hamazaki is clearly shown alive, even though he is thought dead after the prison escape. That same trailer shows footage from every single chapter and bossfight in the game too, including the final one, so have caution if you watch it.

Mass Effect 2 - some near-endgame stuff got spoiled for me, which was kind of a bummer; but I still enjoyed the game. 
 
I accidentally spoiled some stuff about Dead Space to a friend who I thought had beaten it.
 
I did, however, manage to stay spoiler-free for Portal 2 for a full month after release! (Bought the PS3 version, PSN went down for that month and waited 'till it returned so I could do my first single-player playthrough on the PC). That was a surprise, haha.

None that I can think of...if a game is talked about on a podcast I usually don't remember it but I usually avoid any forums and especially spoilercasts on any game I have interest in. Also I should mention if the game really interests me chances are I will already have beat it once the spoilers start rolling out.

I usually spoil things for myself on purpose, It has little impact of my enjoyment of the final product. If it's good enough, it should be good with or without knowing. Same as it should stll be good the 2nd and 3rd time aaround.

LIMBO - considering how short that game is, I saw way too much in trailers/reviews and the GB GOTY awards for 2010. Only just got around to it on PC and the experience has suffered slightly due to the overexposure.

The way I look at a game with a story is that I wouldn't pick up a good book for the first time, read the last page to see how it ends and then go back and start from the beginning.

Someone told me that in Gears 2 Dom turned into a locust at the end... That doesn't actually happen, but I was waiting for it fr the whole game :/

There's SO MANY clues that make it look like he will.

Disagree, an ending is nothing more than the last page. Pick up any works from Cormac Mcarthy, read the last page, or hell - even the last 20 pages, and say the same thing.

As with so many things in life, the journey is what you should learn to appreciate, not the destination.

EDIT: What I mean by that is that spoilers don't really bother me.

I'm like this. Although I actively avoid spoilers for certain story-oriented games, but in the long run I really don't mind being spoiled because, hopefully, I have a ton of fun playing the games themselves. Hell, I'm reading the first Game of Thrones book and I know what happens because I watched the entirety of the TV show before hand. But you know what? I love how well-written the book is (to me, at least) and it still surprises me how I find it enjoyable even after watching some important events happen in the show and the little differences between them.

There's a lot of games that have been spoiled for me, at least the ending but even when it was spoiled the person who spoiled the ending didn't do it any justice since he's not the genious behind the story. So the ending was even more awesome than he could even say because his vocabulary was shit. In the end it's all about the journey though.

 My experience was Fallout 3. I really really looked toward to playing the game and read way too much (i read the super guide before i played it). It would be MUCH better if I knew nothing about it and experience it to the fullest. Hence I'd do the same for Skyrim. Read nothing.

My friend told me about Mass Effect, but luckily he was drunk. He called at three in the morning to tell me about everything while I was half asleep. When I finally got around to playing it I just remembered his drunken conversation and smiled at his half explanations, so it wasn't so much spoiled as it was delightful commentary on the game.

I bought Bioshock over a weekend and I was drinking. I woke up the next day and started playing it only to find out that I have played beyond the twist but couldn't remember doing so. Kinda ruined it for myself once i figure d out who was sending me the messages. Only other time that happened was when I got Fallout 3 and was drinking when I started playing it, wake up next day in the middle of the Wasteland with no idea what I was doing or how I got there. That one was OK, gave it a kind of Hangover feel.

Oddly enough, once I picked up on just how much Mass Effect was aping Babylon 5, just having watched that show felt like spoilers.

I'm a follower of the philosophy that if a narrative is well-done, it won't matter if the twists and such are spoiled for you since the execution is still worth seeing. 
 
That said, I'm kinda pissed at how people refuse to title LA Noire topics relating to its ending without a morsel of subtlety. 
 
*MILD SPOILERS* 
 
 
 
Comparing it to the ending of a certain other R* game or wondering if a sequel was possible pretty much gave it away.

Bioshock (sorta), KotOR, and Heavy Rain. Oddly enough, I've beaten none of them.

Girlfriend sent me a text while we were playing co-op Portal 2 together.   It flat out said the major plot points and basically spoiled it for me. Hell it was a great game to play single player and co-op even though she spoiled it for me.

Metal Gear Solid 4, before it was even released. Gamespot was hit with a to of spoiling trolls, all revealing key plot points in topic titles. I tried to avoid any danger, but failed. I saw (spoiler...) "Ocelot was faking it!" and other things in the recently created topics section. I thought it had to be a joke. Nope.

Went out of my way to read the Wikipedia synopsis and watch YouTube videos of Portal 2 cause I was sick of everyone calling it Game of the Year the day they finished it.

The Collector Reveal in Mass Effect 2 - was attached to a rumor that Illusive Man was a geth, so after the first was confirmed I panicked a bit, thankfully for no reason. 
 
Somehow I got the end of CastleVania (the new 3D one) spoiled for me and I haven't been able to go back.
