I challenge you to beat The Phantom Pain to completion. Doesn't have to be 100%, but the core story at least. I think you will gain a new respect for it and the series if you do so.

What do you mean "school forced [you] to think like that"?

I'm not even just talking about the fact that you posted the spoilers, I'm asking why you purposely ruined the game for yourself. Instead of playing the game and watching it unfold as intended, you'd rather learn these leaked spoilers inside and out. My point is that its like you don't even enjoy the series, you just enjoy writing about it or something.

Yes, the wiki is intended to give information, however you should do so sensibly and tactfully rather than just putting it up everywhere with total disregard for how it might effect people. And lastly, its your responsibility to put spoiler warnings, not something we should be thankful for. Its expected.

1. I got to the Honeybee mission. And I hadn't even completed it yet because I stupidly took my shield with me for the mission, so I was forced to restart it. And I might as well accept the challenge, but I will state that if Ground Zeroes, Peace Walker, and The Twin Snakes wasn't enough to make me passionate about the series, this won't even if I do complete the core story, especially when I am the kind of person who gets irritated when writers are under the delusion that just because they are the writer they can do whatever they please even when it harms the story. I wasn't fond of Kojima's constant retconning of the story, basically constantly destroying canon as he saw fit.

2. I was always taught in school that I should just do schoolwork, doesn't matter whether I actually enjoy it. They tell me I should always state exactly what the text stated, as otherwise, I might as well have not done the work, and if I fail, it basically means bad grades.

3. Again, those people already gave the spoilers, so I honestly don't see why it would matter either way. Heck, I posted those tapes and even the ending to Ground Zeroes, yet I don't recall anyone complaining about that when the game leaked. And for the record, for me, spoilers actually HELP me with the experience, not hurt it. For example, when I came in blind watching Chamber of Secrets, I actually had to leave the theater out of fright because of the Basilisk's voice. And besides, they also kept the fact that Che Guevara played a huge role in Peace Walker well hidden, and my finding out about this, if anything, actually ruined the experience even more than if I had known from the start before the game was released even in Japan.

4. And again, I DID post the spoiler tags. What do you call those things at the top of the page or those little tags in between sentences and paragraphs? Even before Bluerock suggested I put them on there, I also made sure I did the same for Huey, Strangelove, Volgin, and the like. Sure, I may not have done it completely so much as just the main biography, but still...
