The inFAMOUS Quick Look pretty much cemented my decision to buy the game. Before watching that Quick Look I was kinda interested in the game but after watching Brad playing through the game I went to the store and pre ordered it.
* I apologize if I messed up grammar the thread title wrong.
Has a Quick Look ever made you to buy the game it was featuring?
I bought Deadly Creatures after I saw the Quick Look. I didn't even know the game existed until then, and it's a lot of fun. Really happy with that buy.
I'm willing to bet that the amount of Quick Looks compared to the number of people who bought the game BECAUSE of the Quick Looks doesn't add up. You've gotta realize that since Giant Bomb started posting up regular video updates and different video series stuff, the traffic went BOOM on this site. Also, it gives the guys an easy avenue to share enthusiasm about some games while offering the chance to show something about games that they may not necessarily feel needs a full-on review.

I just wanted to know if a QL ever convinced you to purchase a game you were kinda interested but not fully convinced about.
The Noby Noby Boy Quick Look blew my fucking mind. Had to buy it.

I am now seriously considering getting Champions Online after watching the QL, even though I once made a pact never to play a game with a monthly fee. The customization is just too amazing.
I find that QLs are more helpful for flagging games that I was interested in, but were NOT worth buying. Wheelman had me interested from the previews, but the quicklook made me convinced that it was a poor purchase (too late, but oh well). Similarly, Ninja Blade QL was a big turn off.
On the other hand, Infamous did convince me. I had barely been interested before the QL

"What's wrong with monthly fees? If you really want to pinch pennies just download cam's of newly released movies instead of going to the theatre :D
I would have to agree that the QL on Champions Online made me seriously think about getting into it.
Also, the Red Faction: Guerrilla QL sold me on that game...I hadn't even heard of it up to that point. Then I bought it when it came out. haha.

I got the Big Surf Island DLC for Burnout Paradise thanks to the quick look, otherwise I really wouldn't have got it.
Sort of. I watched the Klonoa Quick Look, and later, I got it. Granted, I had played the PS1 version, and I only did it because I didn't win the haiku thing, but the point is the QL worked.
Noby Noby boy, remeber that game? lol
I would say the Batman Arkham Asylum QL, but the demo had already sold me on it. Also that fact the Best Buy had it on for 38$ for 3 days made it an even easier purchase. Awesome game so far, no really, awesome.
Fairytale Fights quick look made me certain I'll buy that game once it comes out. I had never heard of that game before I saw that quick look.
i knew from early reports of the game being made that InFamous would be outstanding and i never saw anything good about prototype. nothing but 360 fanboys hyping that game, and the sad thing is, its a multiplat.
Fallout 3. When the game was released, I didn't see anything special with it. After the quick-looks, it made me want to play it. I played my friend's PC version and it completed the game within 35hrs (completing the story and all DLC's). I'm going to buy the Game of the Year edition when it's released.
Noby Noby Boy
InFAMOUS (although the reviews probably would have convinced me anyway)
Skate 2
EDIT: I'd probably say QLs have convinced me to NOT buy games a lot more.
" The Noby Noby Boy Quick Look blew my fucking mind. Had to buy it. "This is the only example and more for a zany "look at this crazy shit for $5" reason than a real "this game looks amazing" reason. Still, Noby Noby Boy is amazing...in different, unorthodox ways.

"Exact same thing here, 'cept I had not even heard of Infamous. So it really impressed me. I bought it the next day I think.
For official Quick Looks, the answer is Valkyria Chronicles. I was only marginally familiar with the title but saw the QL and said "that is could be a lot of fun." Since then I've become of fan of both the game and anime. For games I hope to get due to the QL, then Champions Online and Persona rank high on my list. I was planning on getting them anyway, but the QL took any hesitation out of the thought process. The Uncharted 2 multiplayer QL also made me feel less skittish on the new gameplay option.
Also, as I've said before, I only watched the first 2 Endurance Runs (so far) but used them as a QL to get me hooked on the Persona franchise and all SMT games.
