Of course, just packaging the introduction and calling it a demo is probably fine in many cases (I certainly haven't got any gripes with that) but as you point out this wasn't ideal for Legacy<br /><br />I don't really like demos with time limits, which was the case with Puzzle Bots if my memory serves me correctly (which it usually doesn't).Stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182191513829334656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951592145893047590.post-26493908080615104292011-06-11T11:38:41.533-04:002011-06-11T11:38:41.533-04:00That was my exact feeling when playing the demo.

I was like, "Oh now, it's gonna end", all the time, and that never came. <br /><br />Weirdly enough, teasing is annoying, but the two demos I've played most, are Grim Fandango and CMI, both being extremely teasing!Dualnameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550063249147544687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951592145893047590.post-54134037800629361392011-06-10T19:49:49.604-04:002011-06-10T19:49:49.604-04:00Considering what you're proposing, shouldn'...Considering what you're proposing, shouldn't the last paragraph of the article have been "So what's my plan for the Deception demo?

So I consider demos to be quite important.<br /><br />If I play a game that has a self-contained experience, but that experience is fun, I'll buy the full game. ...at least, that's what I'd like to THINK I would do. >_>John Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813593224618572349noreply@blogger.com
