so you are asking whether they use trailers or Demos to chose whether to buy a game right?
well I would have to say I prefer Demos but will often buy games that look fun in trailers gameplay videos etc

Well yes demos as well as if you were recommended to buy the game or read about how good it is online

 

But trailers might trick you in to thinking it is fun by showing you the best parts of the game wile it might take some time to get to those parts of the game therefore you might get bored before you reach them :P

 

They usually do that with movies so for games a demo would be best before buying it

yea I hate when trailers do that but I usaly read a couple of reviews etc before buying a game, not just trailers etc but they are useful for learning what games I should read up on. Demos also sometimes show you the better parts of games lol.

Haha yeah that’s true they do that with demos as well :P

For me I never play demos I mostly read stuff online and I am rarely disappointed after I buy and play games.

Sometimes though a trailer might not do it at all as the game might look goofy or something and that used to put me off. I like to use Pikimin as an example. It really looked weird and I was like “what is Nintendo doing” but then I tried it and I was blown away as it is one of my favorite games now and can’t wait for the 3^rd one. From that day though I learned not to judge a game by how it looks but by how it plays.
