Welcome to the dark side, buddy.

I'm looking forward to your mods.

Now we need to get David G hooked so we can get his images instead of just modding the old ones.
MUHAHAHahhahahaha!

You download demos? I never bother with demos: They're never a compelling example of why I should buy the game. I mean, sure, you can look at it, and like what you see in the demo....but if that's what I like, why do I need to buy the game? That's clearly not what I'm purchasing the game for. It's like going to an automobile showroom, and being told you can only test-drive the "demo car", which is like the actual car, only missing all of the features that you actually want to buy the thing for, such as brakes and a steering wheel. Or tires, for that matter, since the demo car is jacked up on concrete blocks in the display lot.

There he goes again.

Demos don't miss ALL features you are buying game for - they only miss SOME features you buy game for.

I rarely play a game I dont demo first. Most demos dont leave off anything important to knowing if the game is any good. Or to use Norfleets example: what do I care if the car they let me drive isnt the same color and doesnt have the CD changer that I plan to get in mine? Thats not what I need to make my decision. (I definately wouldnt do business with the shady guy on the streetcorner over such a minor point.)

sometimes a demo though can be as a preview to a film . they just show you the best parts and when you buy the game you recognize that it is not much more than the demo .
there are often made special demo levels etc.
so you think you may play 1 level in the demo and the full Version has 50 levels .
then you recognize that the demo level was made with more love than the 50 of the full Version .

fortunately dom 2 works the other way round

you just get enough impression to get addicted to buy the game
