But what about the tutorials? I am assuming that they ship with the demo. Being able to learn how to play before getting the full game would be awesome!
But the tutorials for HOI3 were completely unhelpful. It was "left click to select a unit" and that was pretty much it. Threw you into the game, no explanation of the command structure whatsoever. So you're left there with all your units doing absolutely nothing and you've no idea why.
I still haven't played it again, have no idea how.
But it looks like Paradox spent a lot more time on Victoria's tutorials. Having 3 levels of tutorials might persuade me not to read the entire manual for the first time for a Paradox game.
I hope we get a demo - I'd love to know if my computer can run it.
It's the only thing keeping me from preordering it now. (I love birthdays.)

I sure hope that a demo will come out in the coming week.
To you guys who don't want a demo: You don't have to play it if you don't want to, but it isn't nice to ruin everyone else's fun. The game is already complete and stable, it isn't going to take away too much precious time from the developers to just make a few limits to the game and then release it, they probably don't have anything else to do right now anyway.

well I think we can expect the game to go gold this week, the retailers would like to have a week to print the CD/DVD's and get the boxes finished for shipping early the week it going to be released, the manual and chart Im quite sure is already printed. it will take 1-3 days to ship a box from distributor to the shop.
The demo on the other hand could be released first early in the same week the full game is released simply because all the limits need to be checked a couple of times extra just to make sure nobody could break it and exploit it.
Personally, I just want to be able to have a demo to tide me over until vicky 2, but there is always sc2 that can fill that void >.>.
:rofl: i did that once, my bad.
on a side note i'm not sure if a demo is viable anymore now that we are so close to release date. i'd prefer to just have a working full version without lag or serious bugs like HOI3.
The hoi 3 demo came out a week before release, as did the eu 3 IIRC.
I don't see the point of a demo. The game is almost here, and even if there was a demo it would just spoil it. Better to be patient and wait for the full experience.
I want to be able to test if it'll run properly before I buy it, so there's a point to the demo <.<.
I'd rather they spent more time on it to be honest because I'd want the demo to really see if there was any major bugs and if it is actually playable.
I am not buying the game straight away.

To those arguing that you'd rather see them spend more time on the game; that's pretty much impossible this close to release. You do know that Rome wasn't build in one day? Neither does boxing and shipping these games out to their respective outlets.
I am not all into this sort of thing, but by this point in development; only minor changes are allowed, and especially only ones that don't require a recompile. So the developers may be pretty much without much to do; other than work on the demo, or perhaps future patches. But in general, they seem to pick up more pace for what to focus their patches on once the game is released.
In short; why not make the demo? They can't be doing much else anyhow. And I get entertained for a week!

I would like a demo as i am not sure if will like it yet. It looks great and from what i have read on here and the net but you never know. So i would like a demo please
Getting a demo really wont influence my decision. Buying it either way. Waited Years for Vicky 2 ... LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AWAY. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!
But if the demo does come out days before I will download cause I need to get my hands on playing something Vicky 2 related.
