Perfect for someone that wants to learn the game, and will probably spend some money on it if they can get the hang of it. Demos usually don't include detailed tutorials (some exceptions), and online play is a perfect way to see if you've actually learned anything.

@freedom01: Wow, been a while since I played that one. I still have the GBA THPS game, and from what I keep hearing, THAT game was better than 5.

""All online games suck in their own kind of way, because you're relying on the Internet."

Not a fan of the band or the guy, but if you pretty much live your life on the road, he makes a decent point.

@TheZeroPercent: It's a game where I'd like to ply it again before I give final judgement, but I see where you are coming from.

I remember buying DQVIII just for the FFXII demo, about a year after both had released.

I'll buy the $80 set, gives me a reason to say I need a new 3DSXL.

@ocinom: I can deal with what they consider average graphics (haven't seen the game in person), but these "little" bugs can be a killer. I rarely buy week one just because of this.

@Daveof89: Same plan but for the PS4, unless I pick an XB1 over a new TV......

@sbkline: Very good point. Almost wish I had an XB1 to be in your situation. (not a dig on the system)

@rasdorx: Black Friday is approaching........

Seriously, I stopped buying games 2 months ago. Even if the game I want isn't going to be on sale specifically, I know there's a "buy two get one for XYZ" somewhere that weekend. In three weeks, there will even be used copies of this game, and Gamestop always has a sale.
