@darji: again, all indie games besides amalur and I severely doubt the 'big' bump that TB gave amalur was really that big.

@darji: I never said there weren't people like you out there, I'm just saying that pretending that you are the example and not the exception is, well, hard to prove.

@thesoutherndandy: but we're not talking about streaming starcraft or DotA. Those are games that literally never have to end and if they do, that decision falls to you.

Take, for example, an LP of spec ops: the line. I'm never going to buy that game (well maybe when it's like 5 bucks or something) because I saw the story, which is the main reason to play the thing. Nintendo doesn't exactly have infinitely replayable games.

Have you never seen a LP or WTF is video that actually made you buy the game? I bought several games because of this or live streams already and many people I know did that as well.

well first of all I don't watch totalbiscuit because he's super annoying.

second of all, does that really matter? How does a LP video (specifically a video with commentary) inspire you to buy a game where a regular non commentary run would not?

and the only full LP's that have inspired me to buy a game is games that do not have a story or are (near) infinitely replayable as a rule.

@demoskinos: all that DLC really shows is that Lightning sits on the throne (after killing Caius a bunch of times) and she awakens 13 days before the end of the world or whatever.

that game's premise confuses me almost as much as SMTIV does.

That's what happens when you rip open the time stream to make more money. (Does that apply to SMT4, too?)

I'm pretty sure? I don't know.

no no 13-3 (much easier than saying lightning returns) is supposed to be the 13 days before the world ends for good (after caius did his whole time crash thing) and for some reason there are new continents and shit?

that game's premise confuses me almost as much as SMTIV does.

Posting trailers is useful for games that fit the style of Giant Bomb, I trust them to pick and choose which trailers they want on the site.

This, which they already do.

so everyone wins yaaay

yeah FF13-2! Does 13-2's ending make you more or less interested for lightning returns?

Use your keyboard!
