Demos you admit made you buy the full game.

Well...God Of War, mainly. I think Descent and Cyberia were demos I played then bought (not sure, been a while since I played them...sometime in the 90's)...GRAW and Burnout got me interested, but I didn't actually buy the games because of the demo. Really, the only one I can think of would be God Of War.
Usually I don't play demos, but I used to when I was younger (during my PS1 era). I had two demo discs, that convinced me to buy Spyro the Dragon and Future Cop: LAPD.
Though I still haven't bought it yet, the demo for Arkham Asylum has put it on my 'must buy at some stage' list [small]which keeps growing because I'm skint[/small]...

Well if you count a flash promo site, Jak II was probably the first one I got suckered into. LOVED that game. I've bought lots after renting them as well. The only one that I bought from a demo, however, was probably Shadow Complex. Everything I buy is usually something I knew I was going to buy for a while.
Primarily Championship Manager 01-02 demo got me into the series, 03-04 made me buy it and (Football Manager) 2010 is on my must-buy list.
Other than that:
Age of Empires
Plants vs Zombies
Cultures 2: The Gates of Asgard
GP500
Age of Wonders 2: The Wizard's Throne
Anyone who has heard of the latter 3 knows too much about obscure PC titles.

Resident Evil 2
Left4Dead 2
Arkham Asylum
Morrowind (although I got to try the full game at a friend's-I knew I would have to get an
X-Box AND the game it was so good)
But none were "impulse" per say. I was just strongly in favor of the game after the demo where I had no opinion of it before playing, or I was actually not interested before playing.

The one that sticks out the most in my mind is probably Wind Waker, I usually have a fairly good idea about whether I'm going to buy a game or not before I play a demo.
I was PRETTY sure I was gonna get Brutal Legend, but not positive. After playing the demo I was frothing at the mouth. Unlike some people, I know how to READ so I wasn't completely surprised and disappointed by the RTS content.
Also, does Doom count? I played the shareware demo for years before I bought the complete game. Best demo ever released for any game.

No I got to the second to last RTS where you fight the girl at the sea of black tears and said fuck this and i sold it the next day.Triforceformer said:
