Have you ever bought a game due to a good demo?

I bought Devil May Cry because of the demo that came in Resident Evil: Code Veronica X

happened to me with playing bioshock. I mean i had no clue what bioshock was and i rmeber gamespot mentioning it, but had no clue with the hype surrounding it. I played the demo and somehow came up wit 65 dollars. It was awesome lol

Final Fantasy XII, Patapon, Uncharted, Resident Evil 5, DMC4

Oh, just thought of another one - A Vampyre Story.

I was very reluctant to buy it after hearing some of the voice acting in the game, but playing through the demo convinced me that it wasn't as aggressively painful as I had originally thought, and actually suits the character rather well.

[QUOTE="Grammaton-Cleric"]Did you enjoy Army of Two?

I loved it as a co-op experience and can't underatand all the hate aimed at it.UpInFlames

I only got it last week and haven't played it yet. Unless it's vastly different than the lenghty demo (which, unless I'm mistaken, is comprised of the tutorial and a mission straight from the game), I don't see why I wouldn't enjoy it. I love co-op - especially games built around co-op like Left 4 Dead. Army of Two has great controls, great team mechanics, weapons feel satisfying and you can smack your buddy upside the head. What's not to like?

Go read that idiotic GS review from last year. The whole thing centered on the fact that the storyline didn't take the issue of a privatized military seriously.

Seriously, it may be the worst example of a professional game review I've ever come across.

Back in the days when I wasn't into fps at all, I played the demo of Deus Ex for the heck of it and thought it was so awesome that I went and bought it. I also bought Swat 3 after playing its demo.

I can't think of a better representative of gameplay before buying than a demo. Of course people have bought games due to a good demo. While it's not perfect, I still use this as the number one method of determining which games I'll buy.

The demo for Clive Barker's Jericho was a major reason I bought it. Good thing that the game turned out to be a lot of fun too.Business_Fun

Yep, Dark Sector, I was going to pass on the game, but I played the demo and found it new for $10. I'm glad I bought it.

The first time I tried GOW, I was so impress about this game that I decided to buy it right now!!! :D It's a fantastic game!!!

Only one I can remember is DMC4 (was already gonna buy it but the demo made me want the game even more) and Bioshock.

Mirror`s Edge, Alone in the Dark and Soulcalibur 4.

i was convinced to pay off and reserve a copy of sw:tfu based on my fun experience for the demo....man was i wrong

edit: forgot gow1. i heard about the buzz but when i played the demo, i totally bought it
