Is this a demo or a trial? There is a big difference between the two.

Okay, so I feel like I should let everyone know, this demo is only 2% of the game from what I played. Its a little less then an hour long before the demo prompts you to buy the full game.
Wow, really? Messed up that they make you download the 21 GB then. It's good if you're planning on buying the game later on though.

I've been playing it for the past couple days. It's really good, love the visuals and the story so far. Worth it.

So basically you download the full game but 98% of it is locked unless you hit the pay button.
Nothing? If you want to play the game now, there is a way to do it. At this point what you're asking for is basically port begging. They're obligated to do what they're already doing, so 'should' doesn't enter into the equation. That's like me saying I think Sony should release Bloodborne on Pc and Xbox, it has no position in reality.

Yeah I'm confused. What are the limitations of the demo?
Edit: I see like an hour.

I'll give this a try on my setup. I use a benq monitor that is well rated for low input delay, used in fighting game tournaments and csgo and such.
I sold my copy before playing it with the weird meijer $50 trade in thing so I might just wait for ps4 if I notice input lag.

I've got 200mb internet but I'm downloading a whole game for a demo.

Basically, a demo won't register on your gamertag and can't earn you achievements. A trial will do both. Trials also tend to be bigger (basically the full game but with locked content).
It's confusing and I've seen complaints about it, but that's how MS does it.
This game doesn't have input lag issues..., it has deadzone issues.
The deadzone is absolutely massive, I'd estimate around 15%-20%.

Wtf, 1 hour is pretty good for a demo. Not to mention some of that percentage is for collectibles and what not.
lol port begging.
the game will release on pc and ps4.
bloodborne will never release on pc and xbox...ever.

the demo is only available if you take your xbone to best buy and let the Geek Squad download it for you
It either has to do with your download speed or Xbox Live's servers being dodgy when you were downloading it.
It has nothing to do with installation.
The install through the disc shouldn't take more than 15 or so minutes, at least that's how much it took me day one. If you are downloading the whole thing, YMMV of course.
That is a pretty bad analogy.
It has both.

Hm. Possibly. I have a pretty fast connection but the install time after download is still talking a bit. I'm averaging maybe 2% every five minutes.

Demo is pointless. They should breach the contract with Microsoft and release the ultimate definitive plus edition on PS4 and PC right now. I'm concerned about its sales.

"concern"
The demo is about the best thing they can do right now to boost sales on Xbox One going into winter sales. It's actually pretty smart now that the hubbub over Fallout and other titles has quieted down. People might pick ROTTR for cheap to play over the holiday.
They would be mad to beach contact with one of the biggest corporations on the world. Do you realize how badly Microsoft would go after them for such an action? They already renegotiated once, allegedly, and that pushed the PS4 release to holiday 2016. The best Square can hope for is that word of mouth and marketing push sales of the PC and PS4 versions next Spring and Winter.

Really good. In some areas you can see the Xbox 360 version holding things back, But time and time again I was impressed with how the game looks every time I get into a new area. Frame rate is good too.

Just finished it last friday...fantastic game! Everyone who loved the reboot should try this. Easily in my top 3 of 2015. The game is not trying to do something new, but the hell with that. Just feels like playing an Indiana Jones movie on a rainy, sunday afternoon.
Regarding the input lag...If you turn all the bells and whistles off on your tv, input lag should not a problem at all.

I don't have it yet.
Square's Fuckup is inexcusable. CD poured a lot of heart in this game, it deserved better sales and especially fucking better release date. Beginning of December could have been it, but no. Probably gonna double dip. Play this around Christmas and get it again for PC in autumn/winter 2016.

75 Mbps.
Aren't you concerned then? I definitely am!
This post is funny to me for some reason. I mean...do you have a One or not? Are you really making a choice?
And yet here you are begging for them to release it a year early, if you want to play the game now there is a way for you to do so, that's the whole point. If I want to play bloodborne, there are ways for me to do so.
Are they asking for your arm char analysis?
They released a demo on the Xbox, what does that have to do with PS4 and PC?

Then wait for the release on those platforms. PC is coming early 2016, they already said as much. Your console of choice has to wait a bit longer.
lol begging. do you even know what that means?
isnt other way around? why do you think they release this demo?
this thread lol
