[QUOTE="Ghost120x"]Who plays demos for that long lol, but I do hate it when some compaines only give you 5 or 10 usage.hiphops_savior
Or maybe it's because those companies specifically requested a certain limit? Bash them for limiting it to 10 rather than Nintendo, who allows up to 30 chances so that you can decide whether it's worth the money or not.

Smart poster alert. Thumbs up to you.

Like I said. There are plenty of demos that let you do different things in multiple playthroughs making each experience different from the last. Like fighting game demos, rpg demos, sandbox demos, and some others. I think Harmoknight or Fire Emblem Awakening only gave you 10 or 15 playthroughs. Pretty stupid to me. I liked playing the Harmoknight demo multiple times trying to perfect it and beat that damn boss. Theres plenty to experiment with in the FEA demo also. Demo limits are unnecessary.Capitan_Kid

How many, is "plenty?" Simply for a reference. Fighting game demos oftem limit you to 4 or so players. I understand the variety, but would a limit on the playthroughs overly affect your experience with different characters? As an example offered by TC, it was 10 playthroughs. That means loading it, quiting, and loading again. Similar could be said for your other examples.

Demo limits are an annoyance, sure. Bitching about it 2 years later, is idiotic.

Yes, I'm sure people will stop buying the console because there is a limit of 20 or 30 plays on a demo.

Then why....and only nintendo.....have put this limit....??I will tell you why....because they are morons. Play limit on demos...lol

Not a big issue to me. However, I do not understand why nintendo implements. Do they think gamer plays demo too much and does not want to buy full game?

How many, is "plenty?" Simply for a reference. Fighting game demos oftem limit you to 4 or so players. I understand the variety, but would a limit on the playthroughs overly affect your experience with different characters? As an example offered by TC, it was 10 playthroughs. That means loading it, quiting, and loading again. Similar could be said for your other examples.

Demo limits are an annoyance, sure. Bitching about it 2 years later, is idiotic.

Off the top of my head, 13-2, Harmoknight,RE5, Just Cause 2, Infamous, Infamous 2, MvC2, that Hatsune Miku game, Vsnquish, Bayonetta, DmC, Ni No Kuni, DMC4, Eternal Sonata, Injustice, Lost Planet 2, Sonic Generations, Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing, Metal Gear Rising, Jojos Bizarre Adventure HD. Gotta say if Sony tried to pull this, Id be hella pissed. 20 may seem like a lot at the time but as the days go on that number dwindles. I think ive played that Sonic racing demo 40 times with my lil sis. Its true as long as you dont quit it, it wont count against you but that doesnt mean I want to play it consecutively.

Not a shoddy list, at all. Like I said, they are definitely an annoyance, but there has to be a point at which the provider cuts off access. A demo is an example of play. Nothing more.

Demo limits are set by the Publisher or Developer, in my opinion they are fine as many publishers no longer like to release a Demo due to the fear that people will just play the demo instead of purchasing the full game. Regardless if you think that logic is stupid and/or that demo limits shouldn't exist, this is a miniscule and pointless reason to bash Nintendo. I could think of 100 other areas to criticize Nintendo before stumbling to demo limits.

If you are seriously playing a single demo more than 20-30 then I don't know what to say.

 

Yeah its stupid and theres really not much reason to limit it, but I can't remember a single demo I played more than maybe 3 times.

I played some demos over 20 times but that was when I first got my PS3 in 2010 and I only had one game (MGS4) after I beat MGS4 I had a whole month of nothing but demos to play until I got more games for Christmas.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="Capitan_Kid"] Thats a stupid response. Maybe the game doesnt come out for a month or so? Maybe I dont have the funds to get it yet? Maybe I just dont want to fvcking buy it? No reason to put a limit on a demo. Its dumb. AtariKidX

And yet it's there, and it's a non issue. Seriously, just read through the thread. Nobody cares.

WiiU......Play limit on demos.....exclusive for the WiiU....:lol:

You have a 3DS yet you say this. That being said, I did go through my Resident Evil and MGS3D demos quuuuuuuite a bit when I found out both SM3DL and OoT 3D were both goddamn boring games. I think 5 uses though is dumb as a demo though.

It's a damn DEMO! If you keep playing it over and over then you OBVIOUSLY want the damn game. It's not rocket science you know? This is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.

If its a non issue then why the hell is there a limit in the first place? Why are people ok with things being taken away? This is just as bad as that always online nonsense but sheep are taking it up the ass like its nothing.

Standard family of four all gives it a try twice: 8 Lowest I've ever seen the limit is twelve. 30 is closer to the norm, which is more than reasonable. And the limit is just how many times you boot the game up. Nothing stops you from repeat play in one sitting.

The issue isn't the play limit, but more so the thought process that went into implementing such a limit.
