If it was playable offline, then there would be no drain on the game servers, and could help bring in more paying players to the community. That is why I was thinking about some of the tutorial that players can go through. This will keep non-paying players from eating up server space that those that have bought the game should be using. Though I will have no way to purchase the game, I would be able to spread the news of the Demo, and help others try it out, who may intern want the game.Īnd if they do the Demo as a solo player type thing, it can be something that can be played offline. If they did one, I would jump at a chance to test a demo the day it comes out. Sample a few different aspects of it, and see if you like the feel of it. It offers a taste of a few of the things that you can get, while not giving you access to the entire menu. Kind of like when you go into a restaurant that has a sampler. Give them more than just a combat feel, since some may not be too interested in that. Something that lets players test the fighting part of it, as well as picking up cargo, and doing a few other things.
The software has a 21 day trial and is around 8 if you want to keep it after that. Requirements for using the ELITE DANGEROUS VOICE PACK are. I was also thinking about the tutorial, maybe not the whole thing though. For those of you that LOVE the pack and want to personalise it then also choose the ADD ON Personalised Pack ASTRA REQUIRED. I didn't even know that there was one available before release. But being to test drive it shows that the company cares about having happy gamers, more than just having their money.
Getting stuck with an expensive product you don't like is not a good feeling. Or they heard from someone else how awesome it was, only to find out that it was awesome for that person, but not him/herself. I have seen so many games that were either horrible, and people sold them or tried to because they hated it after spending so much on it.
That is just my personal view on it as an experienced gamer. But I will not play an expensively priced game, unless it was a sequel to another game I liked, it was free, or someone gave it to me to play, or write another walkthrough for them. I am not saying give the entire game away. And two of those were sequels to other games before them that I played after playing their demo.
There are probably about 4 games that I played that either were not free to play, or didn't have a demo. If not for the demo, I would have never tried them at all.
