Samurai Showdown IV is pretty much a better version of III, and the only other of the classic games I'll actually play. III is bad game, and V I don't care much for, outside of some character designs.
In general, sure.
His idea of demos that include the point of the game where many people turn away is intriguing but not really practical- you usually get to that point incrementally which is more than most demos would do. But there are some examples- I remember the demo for Lies of P included a couple of bosses and the last one demonstrated that the game wasn't going to be for me.
Good/fair demos are really tricky and I'm just glad we're getting more of them lately.
Another idea I had was partial returns based on gameplay time. We know Steam allows full refunds for less than 2 hours of play which is great (lord knows I abuse the hell out of that) but when it applies to games that can take 4 hours and games that can take 100 that gets to be impractical in many ways. What if game devs had to include estimated completion times- like the web site HowLongToBeat gives you times for beating the game, another for including all side stuff, and another for completionist runs. What if return policy was based on the fraction of played time vs time to beat the game or something.
Honestly, I rather there be a demo for most games than almost none at all. I have noticed dinners have come back, but it's usually under Steam & Switch and/or an indie game on those services. Both big budget games don't even bother anymore. Or do that whole dumb Beta demo for a multiplayer game.

Who are you referring to exactly? The wanna be alt right gamers who hide behind politics and try to act as if they actually care about gaming at all?
I refuse to play Uncharted: Lost Legacy, because I hate Nadine. Fuck this character. I've already seen a playthrough, so I already know what happens, and she still comes off as unsympathetic.
I asked you first. I'm confused at who you referring to and that's it. If you're not gonna tell me, then i'm not gonna bother with a guessing game of one hundred questions. I'm not trying to be rude, but just tell me what it is or not. I am being genuine here.
