Forums - Gaming - Once again, my interest in a game has been totally killed by the demo...

It's weird that the Valkyria Chronicles demo did convince you (although I'm glad it did, because the full game is a miracle), since that demo was insanely short and didn't exactly showcase its strenghts in the strategy department.

Everything that that game does so well was not part of the demo :-/ (aside from graphics of course), but hey, glad that it did work for you ^^

Yeah Resident Evil 5, Crackdown & Burnout Paradise demos put me off buying those games. Though I'm gonna try out Burnout Paradise and Crackdown again and see if I can get into ... certainly won't be bothering with Resi again though ... what a mess!



 

the heavenly sword demo killed it for me...

I honestly thought the demo was magical from the very first moment.  There was no way I wasn't buying that game.

@ goose: I don't blame you, I bought it too after playing it. Especially since everyone here went on about that title. The demo in itself wouldn't have convinced me (probably), but everything I already knew, led up to a well-deserved purchase ^^

It does go to show that people experience things completely different ^^

Well that's a shame. The games you listed are some the best this generation.

Valkyria Chronicles demo was terrible. I almost didn't buy it. I'm glad Outlawauron and a few others talked some sense into me. I ended up loving it.

None of the games from the OP have great demos that you didn't like. The games for the "demo's" are way superior to their shorter versions.

I can't see how the basic gameplay elements would vary significantly.  Also, it's not like I've sworn off buying these games forever, but it would take a severely reduced price for me to consider it (as mentioned).

I forgot about the Folklore demo, which also totally sold me.

Glad I could help!

Things do vary a little between the demo's and the games. Its been a long time since I've played those demos specificially that were mentioned in the OP but some of them a rental would help out a lot more. Uncharted is a great game but it may very well just not be your type of game. Which there's nothing wrong with that.

I was fully expecting to love Uncharted, but the gunplay totally turned me off.  Out of the games listed, though, that's the most likely to be purchased at a lower price.
