Nintendo...Play limit on demos..lol

[QUOTE="darkspineslayer"][QUOTE="Giancar"]Truth to be told I haven't downloaded a demo in a long time. And I don't play those more than 3 times. But friends a family play it too. Nintendo should change this. Not deal breaking, but annoying.Blabadon

Who plays demos more than once or twice anyways?TheGuardian03

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.

I do, i get my racing fix just from playing like Collin MCRae 2 or 3 Demo, is enough to try beat the time records from just the demo :oops:

Don't know, i am not that much into racing games but it is fun once in a while. If it handnt been racing demos i maybe had bought some low-price game from bargain bin :P

Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but I'm sure there are a few sheep out there that came painfully close to those limits because of the amount of games available for the system, or a lack there of....

It'd be lame if an MH4 Western demo had a limit :P

I enjoyed SS and GE2's demos.. I still play GE2's demo :)

there should be a limit on demos anyway  , buy the full game if you want to keep playing dont be cheap your self 

Not really a big deal if you think about it. Then again, if Microsoft did something like this, we'd probably crap ourselves in rage.

If I play a demo three times or so, I'm in all likelyhood not going to buy the game.  If I play it twenty+, I most assuredly am.  Limitations are idiotic.  Christ, game companies just can't fathom the notion that people get enjoyment for....*gasp* FREE, even if it's a thirty minute section of a game.

OH my lord how cheap can they be?

If I had a WiiU, I wouldn't care about this at all.

Why does a demo need play limits? :|

But what if you're playing the demo while waiting for the release? Which i've done in the past.

Sega did something wierd like this once. They had a time limit on the demo for Sonic Generations or something.

Why not just let people enjoy the demos and if they like it, they can buy the full game, that is the point, why are some companies tight about it?

Its a non-issue yet still a dumb rule all the same.

It's never an issue in practice, but it's so petty that you wonder if they did it just to needle us.

Maybe the Nintendo execs have a meeting once in a while to invent a new arbitrary, mildly irritating restriction that's not a big deal, but reminds the customers who's in control. It would explain friend codes.

I thought a demo itself was a limit of the full game, limit on limit sounds crazy :shock:

I've played plenty of PC demo games in the past that had a limit on the time i could spend with it .. 

This is nothing new .. you pathetically ignorant moron.

Not the same thing but nice try. Reactions here are over blown though. MFDOOM1983

I wasn't trying, but thanks to you, now i've read the thread and gave some light to a cig .. Okai, it's not the same thing. It's a vastly better deal than what i've experienced with some PC demos (30 min. time limit, 5 tries, etc.).

Actually, it doesn't really make any sense whatsoever. You've got a limit of 20 plays on that demo, more than enough than any living soul will ever need.

It depends on the demo. I remember Bejeweled 3 having a time limit on its demo, tho i forgot how long you're allowed to play. Zuma aswell.. It's been some time since i downloaded a demo of anything, but once i saw that shot in the thread starter's post, my mind immediately went to a lot of older demos i used to try from indies, that had either a time limit, or a play limit.

That's very interesting unless you figure out that many demos come out before the game does and act as a taster, and people wanting to play them are often waiting for a release date. When you factor that in your argument is worthless. Pity really.

lol poor kid thinks demo is his new game
