So our Discord just spent legit 90 minutes debating this and I need to know we're not the only psychopaths here. November 19th is gonna be chaos and if someone ruins a location reveal before I find it myself I will lose it.

Our current rules:

  • No story screenshots — not even cropped ones, we all know someone will recognize a skyline
  • No mission names — a mission name IS a spoiler, fight me
  • Emoji-only reactions until everyone finishes Act One. No words. Just 🔥 or 😭 or whatever
  • ABSOLUTELY NO MAP SCREENHOTS — this one's mine. I want to discover Grassrivers and Port Gellhorn the same way I found the Alamo Sea in V, by getting completely lost

Look, when I first played GTA V I didn't even know the map extended past Los Santos until I accidentally drove into Blaine County at 2am and my jaw hit the floor. That moment of wait there's MORE??? is something I can never get back and I want that feeling again with Leonida.

The hardest part? One of my friends always finishes games in like four days. We're already arguing about whether they have to wait.

What's your group doing? Anyone else going full lockdown or am I in the minority here?

No map screenshots
This one I'm 100% with you on. Discovery is the most cinematic thing open worlds offer. Think about how Mann shoots Miami in Miami Vice — you don't get the lay of the land from a postcard, you earn it by getting lost in the neon and the humidity. I want to stumble into the Leonida Keys the same way. But emoji-only until Act One? That's your friend group turning into a monastery. Let people scream about a car chase or a great line of dialogue. Just no specifics. The rule should be vibe only, not vow of silence.
