And quite honestly, why would they even state these things if it wasn't true. The fact that they even HAVE the game would be a big hint that they're telling the truth.

And quite frankly, if there's information to post, we post it, especially if it came from people who ACTUALLY HAVE THE GAME. That's confirmation enough.


 * facepalms*

There's so much wrong in this it's not even funny, all those screenshots prove is that they do in fact have the game and have played/are currently playing it, they prove nothing beyond that.

Have any of them actually beaten the game? No. Do any of them have any screenshots that give proof to what's being said about Venom? No. How can those claims be taken as fact when there's been no proof given?

No, having the game is not confirmation enough, my copy could arrive tomorrow and I can claim all sort of things, those claims won't mean jack shit if there's no proof supporting them. This wiki is about factual information, not unconfirmed leaks that people like you are ever so happy to take as confirmed facts when no proof to the claims have been given. What do you THINK those photographs are supposed to be? Heck, what about that Xbox achievement? That's proof, by definition. And those guys wouldn't even be talking about the game at all on there if they weren't actually playing it. The entire point of that thread was to discuss potential leaks for the game as well as spoilers. And just FYI, the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions have been leaked as well, so we're definitely going to get more exposure to the game later on (and unlike with the PS4 and Xbox One versions, there would be literally nothing stopping the reveal of all endings).

Again, you're channeling David Hume who claimed very similar things about how nothing can be proven unless you're actually there to sense it, and that anything else is just "sense impressions" and not valid in any way. I even quoted the bit from that article just to show you and made sure to remove the religious bits to make sure you didn't get the idea I was pushing a religious agenda for whatever reason.

And for the record, just so you guys are aware, it's not impossible to beat the game in a few days. Heck, people actually leaked the Big Boss portion of MGS4's ending well before the game's release, and do I really need to remind you of Ground Zeroes' ending being leaked as well, not to mention the tapes?
