That's where you need to learn the philosophy of "Two kinds of people". There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that consider it a lesser experience when spoiled*coughSheldon*cough* and those that honestly don't care and would prefer fact over keeping suspense. This is a wiki and we discuss games like no tomorrow, plus anyone that comes to wiki takes the risk of spoiling themselves anyway. Coming to know about things you didn't know about, from something like a guide is by certain logic*cough*Sheldon*cough* spoiling yourself.

I guess it is a matter of immersion and personal take. In my case, immersion works regardless of whether I know the story or events. I can rewatch or reread or replay something a dozen times and still react fresh to the story in each instance. That's how I do things. I literally forget about future occurrences while I am engrossed in the present part of the story. For example I may know that X character is gonna be betrayed by Y character but that doesn't change my immersion at all. My attention is devoted to the character interactions at that particular time.

Besides, we can't really discuss anything if all the major events are not alluded to. If you checked my profile, I have completed AC3 and pretty much all the games minus the 2 new ones and Bloodlines, so nothing really there to spoil me. Of course, if you mean for anyone that was following this thread and didn't know AC3 or hasn't read the relevant articles, then fine, but said people wouldn't understand the context anyway so they wouldn't really be spoiled either. And that is assuming they even care about AC3 given all the shit it received.
