You gamers that are able to judge a story from a demo,,, how?

i played a demo to a game by the name of neverwinter nights. i knew nothing of this game but decided i liked the demo and wanted to learn more. this game became very successful.

which the story is written well its evident from start to finish.

Seriously, how are you able top judge a story on such a small snippet of gameplay and cutscenes? You couldn't do that with a book or movie so how are you guys able to do that with games. You can say you don't like the voice acting or even how it was presented during that section of gameplay, but you can't judge a games story off a demo.

For example, I don't need to play Tales of Vespira in it's entirety to know that I would like the combat but the voice acting will continue to annoy me and the characters are basic JRPG cutouts. This allows me to come to the conclusion that I would probably not enjoy it. The Tales games are the very essence of the type of JRPGs that I hate.

What JRPGs do you like? Just curious. I was disgusted with Symphonia's characters myself (same series).
