Really Valve? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm sure The Orange Box is awesome(I already know Portal is), but that demo is just insulting. It took me longer to download it than it lasted. There was more time waiting for the dialogue to pass to continue to the next area than I spent actually controlling my character. Valve, next time you want to make a demo, please ask 2K Boston how to do it right.

Blueballs FTL.

The only demo I've played longer than it took to download was Skate.. I know how you feel, though. I downloaded the Blacksite demo (I knew nothing about it back then!) and it had me kill about 5 guys, walk a few steps, see a giant alien worm shit land, and then it was over. I think it took me around 12 minutes?

And yes. Definitely ask 2K Boston for tips. No demo has ever gotten me to buy a game the day it came out. A sheer masterpiece, if I can say that.

I'd download the demo...but I know I need to buy this anyways. Ah what the hell, I've probably got the space.

@ Linde

Common. It's not like it's a free game. It's a demo. It's meant as a marketing tool. If it sucks, it could give you the wrong impression about what you're playing.
