Demos should be required for most or all games

Those who don't like demos. Can i trust your word on RPG's or anything else then? Since they never have demos. Also, is story that important in them type of games? I want to try Persona 4 the golden on Vita but not sure if i should buy the other 3 first (they are all on PSN). The same with other games like Final Fantasy. I come to understand that games like Final Fantasy (JRPG) are very different to games like Mass Effect (RPG).

Dragon Age 2 had a pretty good demo, and I think we all know how Dragon Age 2 turned out.

So demos aren't 100% trustworthy, but they are certainly better than having no demo at all.

I guess reviews are often more reliable but it's still not the same as expieriencing something first hand. 

Talking about Gearbox again, Duke Nukem Forever had a great demo.
It was the first level of the game and it had pretty much everything a Duke Nukem fan could want from it. If every level was like that I'm sure it would've ended up with a 75-80 Metascore, but starting with level 2 everything from there on was crap.

On another note: I loved the Burnout Paradise demo, but I completely disliked the full game.
