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?

I think those screenshots are nothing more than exactly what they are, proof that they've got the game and have played it, beyond that, they mean nothing.

The MGS4 thing and Ground Zeroes ending and tapes are entirely different situations, both of those had proof to support them, this does not.

Where's the screenshots that have what's being said confirmed in the game? I've seen no such screenshot because you haven't posted such a screenshot, and you haven't posted such a screenshot because it doesn't exist, therefor the claims are unconfirmed and it remains unconfirmed until proven otherwise, with either a screenshot or video showing it, until then all you've got to go on is the word of the people making the claim without giving actual proof to it.

That's not how making a claim and confirming something works, you make a claim, you give proof that backs it up, such as if I were to claim that Solid Snake smokes menthols I'd have to get a screenshot of his cigarette pack that says "(Brand name) Menthols." and that would be a claim that is confirmed fact, however if I were to claim something like Big Boss has a warped big toe on his left foot and showed a screenshot of an in-game poster of a swimsuit model, that's a claim that has no proof and is therefor unconfirmed until proven otherwise.

What's being said about Venom is the second of those two examples, it's a claim that has no proof, therefor it is unconfirmed until proven otherwise.
