No demo is ever an hour long. inFamous is one of the longest ones I've played, and it's 30-40 minutes. Most are around 15 minutes.

Games that are boring for the first two hours?

-Oblivion

-LittleBigPlanet

-Call of Duty 4

Besides, a demo is intended to tell you if you'll like a game or not.

Popcap Games demos are EXACTLY 1 hour long. So that proves you wrong on that point. Dawn of War II was more than an hour, Zeno Clash was around 50 minutes (for me), Defense Grid demo was also more than an hour (though I didn't finish it). Those are the four latest demos I've played. Don't say no demo is ever an hour long. That's just silly.

And you just proved my point with the bolded statement. That's exactly what I'm saying.

2 hours into any game I can usually tell if I'm going to like it or not. The quality of Oblivion is readily apparent in those first two hours, so is the quality of Call of Duty 4. Neither of those games suddenly jump from being bad to being good after that point.

XXain said: he reviewed and scored a game, based off of 2 hours of gameplay

I would say he reviewed and scored the first two hours of gameplay (though it wasn't actually a review). Which is a fair thing to do. It's CLEARLY STATED it's not a review of the complete game. The post starts:

A few points of consideration about this game through the 2 something hours I played through it.

That's what he's doing, and you're complaining that he has no right to do that because you don't fully appreciate a game after more than 5-10 hours. But that is your opinion, and not a fact. The fact is he wasn't blown away by the first two hours, and you feel somehow offended that he wasn't.
