    After Playing The Demo

    I liked it. But you can't judge a game from a demo, developers use demos to see people's reaction and a lot of times they improve it.

    NBA Live 15 out to dethrone the champ...

    I just played the Live demo and I agree, 2k is light years ahead in gameplay. Nonetheless, Live 15 is an improvement from 14 and I expect EA to continue to improve the series as time allows.

    Improve demo times

    The length of a demo is usually down to the games developers.

    Personally I think 60 minutes is enough for a demo but it does depend on the game I suppose.

  5. Given that many games can be finished in less than 24 hours, giving that option would be somewhat foolish.

    I'd rather console manufacturers start offering refunds for digital purchases like EA and Steam now do on PC.

  6. If you want the full experience, you buy the full game.

    Demos are just a sample of what the game offers. 60 minutes is plenty to get you acquainted with the game mechanics and explore the Safe Shallows for a while.

    I own the full game. I really like the entire premise of trying to brave the spooky, alien depths of an extraterrestrial ocean planet. The game just has some bugs, frame rate issues, and UI nuances to work out, but it is a "Game Preview", after all. Patiently
    waiting for more updates from the developer.

    I do not agree.

    I think you are another entitled gamer that thinks they are owed something.

    Buy the game.

    I can't get the game until may but I think they should be long just because I would like it to be so you can't have fun I was building a base then it finished i was annoyed that it did but I personally think it is too short I played csgo on the 360 demo
    30 mins needed to be 1 hour or more

    I too think 60 minutes is too short for a Demo. Take for example that Survival Ark demo on Xbox 1 which STILL, YES STILL, is only in preview. That game has a 60 minute demo time limit on it. When the Minecraft Trial version came out on Xbox 360, there was
    no time limit. You just couldn't play multiplayer with the trial version. Some people are kwazy paying money for a game which is still in preview like Ark survival on Xbox 1.

    Both Ark and Subnautica are "survival" games, how much would you want the demos to be? 2 hours, 3?

    Whatever time limit they set someone somewhere will say its not enough, the time limit is there purely to let you know what the game is about, if you cant decide if you like a game after 1 hour then perhaps gaming these days has very few demos (report
    showed that if a game had a demo it would actually sell less than a game that didn't have a demo)
