the overwhelming majority of games can be entirely finished with well under 24 hours of gameplay. Space Lynx 90 mins seems fair to me, to see if i like it and if it will run well on my system, i personally don't need more time than that to know if its worth my money or not.

Those 24 hours are worth just a day and if you want to play again, you will need to pay. Last games That I played I dont remember one single game that I played and lasted less than 24 hours and I was done with it, those 24 hours would not be good for games that you can finish in 2 hours and offer nothing after that.

You can check my steam library if you want, most games I bought lasted more than hours at least, some are 1k hours or more. My point is devs will focus on the 90 minutes and forget the rest of the game hehe because if they make a game good enough for 90 minutes they are sure you will pay for it ehhe, 24 hours is hard to cheat on.

Actually in my opinion, all games should be free and if you like the work they did and want to support it, then you pay. Lol 24 hours. I know sweats finish games single player in under 8 hours. I'd do it personally if weekend lol.

WorringlyIndifferent are you joking? the overwhelming majority of games can be entirely finished with well under 24 hours of gameplay Nah, we need 90 hours just to make it fair :pimp:.

It doesn't matter, it's a business and if the possibility of a user finishing a AAA game during the trial exists then it's a non-starter. yall remember Flight Simulator because I do.

also wasnt dead space remake that game with technical issues that arnt fixed to this day? In 24 hours you can finish many AAA games in one sitting. But it would be so much better if companies made single-level demos. I remember back when nearly every game used to have those.

I wonder if some sad person is going to abuse it, switching accounts until they finish the game. I know at that point pirating would by far be the better option but still, it could probably be done. lexluthermiester VPN. the overwhelming majority of games can be entirely finished with well under 24 hours of gameplay mahanddeem Lol 24 hours.

I'd do it personally if weekend lol ymdhis In 24 hours you can finish many AAA games in one sitting. Just so you know, I played the pirated version of elden ring when it came and finished after hundreds of hours then to support the devs I bought the steam version, I played on steam too but my purchased was to support it because if it was not then I would have kept the pirated version and not bought it.

The truth is many devs want to make bad quick games and want idiots to buy it. I really want to play resident evil 4 remake but for that price is stupid, will never pay 60 usd for it because is a rip off. Your email address will not be published.

ME NU. How to Test Out New Fonts Before You Buy Them. Do you have a favorite place to buy fonts? Share in the comments! FILED IN:. The Ford dealer was sparse, only a survivor Ecosport and a stray Escape made up the new car selection. My salesman tried his best to accommodate me, coincidentally, that morning, two custom order Maverick units had arrived, but were already sold and spoken for.

I could prod around them, and sit inside them, but driving them was off-limits. That sucks. From what I learned from a ten-minute interior and exterior tour at the dealership, I guess the Maverick could work for my needs. The price seemed attractive, and I thought the interior was pretty nifty.

My colleagues all seem to love the Maverick, but I am not my colleagues. Even a brief test drive, no matter if the car is new or used, can paint a picture of what the car is like to live with.

I have had too many friends and acquaintances thoughtlessly spend thousands on a car, only to realize a few weeks after purchase, they find some aspect of the vehicle unlivable.

I also had a friend that when the housing market was very hot, put an offer, over asking on a house. When I bought my Odyssey, I took one of them for a test drive. I told him I wanted the actual van we just test drove not some unknown to me vehicle. He sure seemed perplexed that I would want to buy the one I just drove- probably they had used it for a few test drives and he thought I would want one with 2 miles on it versus If that was the only way, for example if I feared contracting Covid from the sales experience.

We put at least mi on it in the 1st 24hrs so any strange noises or issues would have been obvious. I always get a test drive as I buy old beaters from craigslist and stuff.

And my insurance stays low. I would guess the assumption would be a new car off the lot should be fine. Dealer has the opportunity to fix it before customer goes whacko.

Sure last 2 cars long test drives, but it is like buying a burger at a drive through, right? Even with a new car there are problems that might occur during delivery or at the dealership.

I check for paint and interior damage as well as drivability. The quarter panel on my special ordered par avenue had an obvious paint repair. Unknown whether done at the factory or not but the dealer took care of it before we took delivery.

Warranties cover any repairs. I never said I test drove for a couple hundred miles. I drove it maybe 10 miles. I had already test driven another car for at least a half hour before ordering one.

The second test drive was always to make sure nothing was wrong with the car I bought. I usually adjust my approach based on risk and financial wherewithal. There is another possibility. You bought it, you own it- warts and all. Any issues, they are going to try to fix the one you bought unless you get to the point of it being deemed a lemon.

That works out most of the time although it could be very inconvenient and not completely satisfying in the end. Edit: forgot to include- how many times do we see people coming here complaining about uncomfortable seats or other aspects of the vehicle. The general consensus here is to do a test drive and a lengthy one at that.

How do you tell if the seats work for you without doing that? Back to the lawn mower- I only spend 2 hours a week in that seat and they had a demo unit on the floor I could sit in for as long as I wanted.

My test drives are maybe 10 miles but I test a lot of stuff in that distance, especially on a used purchase. Buying Guides Deals Car Reviews Repair Shops Community Cars A-Z. Test drive the car before you buy it! General Discussion.

In 45 years all the cars I have bought, I bought after one test drive and the car I was buying.

So far I have never been disappointed with any car I have bought. So I only test drive one or two expamples that meet my criteria. I start the process by first sorting to only the cars that meet my criteria and are within my price range.

I then sort by reliability and pick only the top choices. I then test drive them all at least once, the final choices more than once. The last time I went through the process it failed. I test drove Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, Scion xA and Scion xB.

My daughter talked me into testing a Scion tC, despite it being slightly more money than met that criterion. I bought a Corolla. A good, solid, excellent choice. Within two months I realized it was killing my bad back. I went back and took the tC on a loooooooong test drive.

I ended up trading the Corolla for the tC. I now have over , miles on it and I absolutely love the car. Agree…that a test drive or series of drives that closely mimics your driving habits over time is essential to reveal weaknesses you may encounter.

ymdhis But it would be so much better if companies made single-level demos. EA had this multiplayer demo for Battlefield 2. There were SO MANY servers to choose from. some 3rd party and some official and there was no time limit.

I think the amount of maps were obviously limited. you only had a choice of ether one or two maps but boy were those maps super fun and the game was so enjoyable that only 2 maps didnt matter!

I played the demo for MONTHS then a friend said to me "You know a full game exists right? This might help a lot of small studios that struggle to release demos. I usually use other "ways" of obtain the game to try it out before buying it.

But this new way from steam, if the game doesn't require alot of space to download yea I'm for it. This is basically having a demo available for every game, seems great!

I see this as a good thing for gamers if it catches on. Not having to hassle with keeping up with purchases and returns for those of us that reconcile our credit card statements each month to prevent possible fraud or errors.

Additionally a gamer doesn't have to be concerned about too many returns on purchased games which Steam has a policy to deny refunds if they think you are abusing the refund policy and who in the hell knows what Steam considers abuse.

How many returns over what period of time would Steam consider abuse? They are likely looking at it from an overall perspective not just per account.

I'd say you barely need 60 minutes to test out a game before you purchase. PS: There aren't any news of those 90 minutes counting for the minutes limit for refund, right? windwhirl PS: There aren't any news of those 90 minutes counting for the minutes limit for refund, right?

I would think its implied, since you technically dont own the game. I'm curious to know though. Metroid this is not about money, is about what you think they deserve. With all due respect, as a past dev, my work is worth what I say I'll sell it for.

Not what you "think I deserve. Plain and simple. Steam is a monopoly! Why are they doing such monopolistic stuff? Do you have a favorite place to buy fonts? Share in the comments! FILED IN:. Branding , Business Tips , Font Love.
