No demo, No buy. Why don't developers understand that if you're not going to market your game to death, then you'll need some good press and some good word of mouth, something demo's (for good games) do.
I hope that there being no demo isn't telling, though if I'm being honest at its best I expect this game to serve as a side dish to the meatier games that get or will get released. If it recieves a good reception I'll get it when it hits the the bargain bin (which will probably be the day after release) :).
The game certainly seems to be falling on deaf ears. It's a combination of timing as straight after e3 everyones still marginally dazzled by the games that impressed that current releases start to look rudimentary, and the fact that it's coming out in a period that has seen Max Payne 3, Ghost Recon AW, Dragons Dogma (and dare I mention Dirt Showdown). All this further emphasises why I think a demo was needed (or at the very least would've helped), but hey maybe somebody over there reads this and releases a demo in 2 days.
Friend just finished the game, he says he had an absolute BLAST playing the game, it was super fun, but short gameplay time (he needed about 7h to clear it) and weak replay value are it's short comings.
Everyone just talks about 4 hours of playing. And if everyone already finished it. Dead Rising was 6 hours long. So what? Finished it like 8 or 9 times.
You definitely need some distance. I will not say more until I finished it myself.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (3 Weeks ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (5 Weeks ago)

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (10 Weeks ago)
