Are story-based games worth playing even after they've been spoiled?*NO SPOILER*

NOTE: DO NOT SPOIL ANY PART OF ANY GAME. THIS IS A GENERIC DISCUSSION ABOUT HAVING GAMES SPOILED. IF YOU WANT TO MENTION A GAME TITLE, THAT IS FINE. HOWEVER, DO NOT POST ANY PLOT SPOILERS OF ANY SORT.

I have had Metal Gear Solid (major plot point), Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (the ending), and GTAIV (major plot point), Chrono Trigger (major plot point) and Tales of Symphonia (major major plot point) all spoiled for me, and (not coincidentally), I haven't gone back and made significant progress in any of them. I feel like if a game's story gets spoiled, and the story is one of the game's highlights, I can't bring myself to play it because it just makes me feel like I'm missing out on what should have been a great story.

What about you? What games have you had spoiled for you, and how do you think it affects the gaming experience overall?

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTE ABOVE; DO NOT FURTHER THE PROBLEM.

while I prefer NOT to get any spoilers about games im about to buy, I often play them several times, to me games are a bit like movies in that aspect...

KOTOR is always a must.

You never know, they could have given you faulty information.

I just like seeing stories unfold, sometimes I think people are far too paranoid about "spoilers".

I have a terrible knack for spoiling video games for myself. Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Half Life 2: Episode Two, parts of Final Fantasy VI and VII, Bioshock, all spoiled. But I still enjoyed them. They're still really fun games.

I always manage to avoid spoilers easily, be it for games or movies or a TV series, I like to be surprised when I find out for myself. I don't see the appeal to spoiling a story by telling everything that's happened in it if others haven't seen it yet, smacks too much of attention seeking.

The journey itself is more important than the destination.

KOTOR is always a must.

Sometimes it's just fun to see how the story plays out even if I know what happens. Knowing what happens is one thing, but playing it and seeing it for yourself is another. I mean, why else do people re-watch their favourite movies? Silent-Hal

Exactly. Stories are meant to be experienced and re-told. Knowing the story and listening/reading/watching/playing it are two completely different things.

I think they are, but they're certainly not as fun after.

No. Story has many many many parts. Hehehehe. And sometimes the best parts aren't the main plot.

you can pretty much play earthbound even if you know every detail of the story
