Where do you go to get your Demos? i go to 3D gamers. best place.
-
I don't really bother with demos.
-
damn, didnt know somebody would respond that quick...
why?
-
I usually don't need them to determine whether or not I would like the game.
-
sometimes i cant buy the game, so i play the demo until i can. by then, i am usally for it or niot.
-
I guess I have more patience, because I can usually wait.
But the wait for Christmas when I'm expecting to get Call of Duty 4 is killing me... :'(

you suck.

Steam.

Steam is water, evaporated into a gas.
i think.

Gamespot
Last Demo was TimeShift, seems interesting, you can mess with time, like stop it, make it slow motion, or backwards, while you're free to run around and kill people.
-
i heard about that.
-
I actually hate Steam, don't fall on that, they give EVERYTHING! for a price. The only good thing is free weekends of some blocked game.
-
i see.
-
I just download the full game. In a matter of hours I get the entire game, for free.
-
Before I use that marvelous ability, I normally check demos of games I don't know.
"Hey, seems a good game, but before I waste my time and Internet channel on such a large game (every game now go from 1GB to 8GB), let me test the demo, if it's fun I might aid violating their patent rights.
Well, games nowadays, specially the multiplayer ones, have another way so that you don't access the good stuff. Like Battlefield franchise, if you don't have an original, you can still play either sp or mp, but not the ranked ones...not the good stuff. There's so much difference between legal Battlefield and the other one that buying battlefield is totally worth it.
If I had played SimCity Societies Demo, or Bioshock, I might haven't bought the game.
-
I wouldn't waste my time downloading Battlefield. Only a select few FPSs are good, and Battlefield is most certainly NOT one of them.
-
It seems you didn't get the example.
-
Oh, I did get the example, it was just hard to decipher from your block of pure letters.
If you don't like it when you download it, just get rid of it. It's not like you didn't do other things while you were downloading; you wouldn't be wasting any time if you got rid of it.
And taking the developer's money? Please. Developers get like, 3% of their money anyway. The rest goes to their publisher and the middleman, both of whom are most of the time enormous companies who don't need anymore. So it gets blown out of proportion and people think we're committing murder or some shit for turning 3% to 0.

You sound so communist.
-
Laissez-faire capitalism, which I agree with, is about giving everyone fair competition - similar to communism in sound, but in reality much different. It involves the only economic law being that restricting predator corporations to create monopolies. Communism, on the other hand, involves spreading the money around equally, which completely destroys the essence of "competition".
Am I skeptical of big companies? Of course. That doesn't make me a communist, because, heh, if it did, everyone besides CEOs would be communist.
And I thought you hippies insisted on it being called socialism?
-
I remember you criticizing European competition laws, now you're defending competition laws? I don't want to call you something offending, but you're always insisting I'm an hippie, at least hippies aren't hypocrite.
Am I skeptical of you? Of course. That doesn't make me a communist/hippie, because, heh, if it did, everyone besides you would be a communist/hippie.
-
Your latter analogy was non-sensical and fallacious. It simply, isn't an insult.
And, I don't recall ever criticizing European competition laws. Ever. If I did, I sure would like a quote so I could either renounce myself or see your misinterpretation.
-
Demos are great from drawing you in, but I've played a lot of demos only to find out the game itself sucks. I'd prefer to read the reviews on the gamer sites and then see.

you know, it was funny to watch Garth and Delf agure.
