One thing about demos--when I plan on buying a game, I tend to avoid them. I don't like the feeling that all of my hard work is in vain. I like to experience the game fresh. That's why I didn't finish the Asura's Wrath demo and why I didn't bother to download the Final Fantasy XIII-2 demo.

I'll give the RE:R demo a shot just to see how the game is going to look but I already know the real game is a day one buy. I won't play it too in-depth.

We're you planning on buying FF XIII-2? 

I've tried repeatedly to play through FF XIII and it's just like eating this giant platter full of food that I really don't want to eat.

But the demo for FF XIII-2 had more variety in the hour or so that it ran than the 15 hours I could barely stomach of playing FF XIII. They did a pretty decent job of addressing a lot of the player gripes while adding a lot of new game play elements to keep the game interesting and new.


Oh, I finished FF XIII and I thought it was pretty good.  Had some HUGE flaws that kept me from loving it, though.  As for FF XIII-2, I already know I'm going to buy it on day one (got a $100 Wal-Mart gift card I've been dying to cash in!) so the demo would just spoil the game for me.  Same as this RE demo.  I plan to buy the game the day it comes out.  I got to the smog filled kitchen in the demo and turned it off.  It's every bit as good as I'd hoped!

Now, if it's a game I'm on the fence about, a demo will help me make up my mind.  The demo stopped me from buying Vanquish until almost a year later.  Then again, a demo made Bayonetta a day one purchase.  I also decided that Asura's Wrath is going to be a day one buy for me based solely on the demo.

Which reminds me.  I gotta finish Skyward Sword before Tuesday!!
