Your loss.

Elder Scrolls games really aren't the kind of games you can squeeze into a demo... and even if you could, they're the kind of games you should only really judge after 5-10hrs of gameplay, not 1hr or less.

No demo is confirmed. Looks like you'll have to rent it first.

Two Worlds II wasn't good but it wasn't bad either.

Considering how awful the first one was, i'm amazed anyone had big expectations for the sequel.

See you later then.

I'm quite surprised people will group Bethesda with any other gaming company.

Wait, the witcher 2 svcks? i was just about buying it @_@ should i not?

On topic (plz comment my head comment :P) - No demo! I dont want people to judge the game because of 1 hour playing. Whats beautiful in the game is its size, demo = no size at all. So the demo is actually showing us the exact opposite feeling than the game has to offer (demo will feel small while skyrim will feel big. if the demo cannot show us big - then it doesnt show us how the game will feeel like)

He's referring to The Witcher 2. He said so in another thread.

Why would anyone compare anything with The Elder Scrolls series? The Elder Scrolls sits on top. :tes:

Do not buy it unless you want to play a bad game. Your choice I guess. I wouldn't buy it for $5. :mellow:

Usually i agree, but my experience with previous Bethesda games and how extensively they are modded will make this game a day-one purchase for me. Maybe even a pre-order :ooo:

There will be no demo to play, Bethesda Game Studios has never gave demo's of their past TES and Fallout games to play. They only show demos of Todd Howard playing and presenting them. Also looking at Skyrim any one can see the game looks and plays amazing so for you not wanting to play Skyrim just becuase you can't get your cry baby hands a demo is madness and I got to say to people like you is.... than don't buy it I'm sure Bethesda don't care if 1 out of millions don't buy their game becuase of one crying on not getting a demo.... :lmao:

Indeed, there's not going to be a demo, because it just would not be feasible to create a demo that can acurately show you what an Elder Scrolls game is like, considering the series relies heavily on its open world exploration, which you can't show in a demo, trying to make a demo for it would be pointless. If you won't buy the game without playing a demo, then that's too bad, I guess you won't play the game at all, though I don't see why that would be necessary, you could always try reading some reviews or people's opinions of it before buying it, you don't have to buy every game as soon as it's released. Granted, there's no guarentee that you'll agree with what every player or critic says about it, but at least that way you're less likely to be dissappointed then if you just go out and buy the game without seeing if people liked it or not first. Or if you happen to have a friend who has it, then that simplfies things, you can go visit him and ask if you can play the game on his PC or console for a bit, that basically amounts to the same thing as a demo, except what limits what you can see of the game is how much time you actually have to play it, not how much of it is included.

And Two Worlds 1 was also terrible. Your logic is flawed. Comparing Two Worlds to Oblivion is a bad comparo because of differences in the two games, and with the fact Two Worlds was a mess. Two Worlds 2 was a huge improvement, but it was still a massive mess. That's like comparing Cheetah men to Ninja Gaiden.

I think they should release a demo. There are other open world games that make a demo, the argument of not being able to capture enough of what the game can offer is an easy way out. The purpose of a demo is not to show you everything the game has, but to allow you to test before buying if you like the animations, the controls, the combat, the graphics, the sound, and how well your hardware can run the game. For these you don't need to access the whole world, a starting dungeon is enough.
