Borderlands GotY Edition Gives Early Access To DNF Demo?
Duke Nukem ForeverNow that we know Duke Nukem Forever is actually coming - still can't get over that - it's time to get a closer look.
For most, that closer look will come in the form of a playable demo, which has been confirmed but we don't yet have an official date. But if you want to get a jump on things, you should mark a day on your calendar: it's next week, October 12, when Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition becomes available at stores nationwide. Lest you forget, Gearbox Software developed Borderlands and that is the same studio that is now handling DNF. 2K Games will provide purchasers with an access code to the DNF First Access Club, which brings you into contact with special bonuses, including a playable demo (likely the same one that will arrive on the PSN/XBLA at some point). The only question is when those First Access benefits kick in...Gearbox won't say. I distinctly recall a demo for Final Fantasy XII included with Dragon Quest VIII. I actually bought the latter game for the express purpose of playing FFXII early, although I soon found DQVIII was awesome in its own right.
So anyway, if you're up for the GotY edition of Gearbox's last production, you'll be ready when they release the Duke Nukem Forever demo. You know you wanna try it.

On topic. I don't think I'll be getting Borderlands just for a DNF demo. I've been waiting my entire adult life for this game... I can hold out a bit longer.

please dont put words in my mouth as i never said dragonquest 8 was made by square enix. what i said was one of the best square enix games meaning games that went under the flag of squaresoft/square enix. even if it is made by the people at level 5, it is still unfortunately under the square enix brand. i wouldve preferred that there was a big level 5 logo on the box to give them recognition. i loved final fantasy x, X-2, 12, and dragonquest 8 but after those games things just went downhill for them, at least looking at my ps2 collection. i wanna know who the dbag is that thought final fantasy spirits within was an awesome idea that led to squaresoft merging with enix.
looking at the dragonquest 8 gamebox, its pretty sad that theres no mention of level 5 at all, just square enix. you have to look in the credits section of the manual to even see level 5. not like today where every game box have the developers icon right on there.

Still, the amount of people that think DQ8 and 9 are Enix games is annoying. I'm use to thinking it....be clear next time my man!

The reason DQ8 reminds you of Dragon Ball, is because it's the same concept artist. ^.^
I'm probably one of the only ones that bought it for the game. I never frequented gaming websites (internet on campus SUCKED), and I was totally shocked that FFXII demo was there!! TOTAL bonus!
Anyways, I had played and beaten Dragon Warrior 7 (Warrior/Quest same series. Used to be a difference between JP and NA releases, but with 8 they combined the names to be the same) for the PS1. I loved it! Graphics were elementary for DW7, but MAN was it an epic adventure!!!!
In fact, if you guys ever go back to PS1 games, DW7 is a champion for RPG fans. INCREDIBLE exploration and RPG elements. It even has classes!! (I did a user review for it if you wanna read about what it's like)
Anyways, the entire series is a behemoth, imo. The biggest sin was putting 9 on the DS.

I'm a Borderlands fan who bought it day one, and have all the DLC packs, except for the latest one.
So new buyers can get the whole bundle for cheap *and* get a DNF demo to boot?
Are they expecting me to now go and buy the new GOTY pack just for the DNF demo?! Pffft... yeah, right!

As you already know, there are several re-released titles with GOTY edition tags slapped on them. It just seems to be the cool thing for game companies to do when re-releasing games with all of their dlc or other features. It doesn't seem to matter to them at all that their games didn't recieve that particular award for them to throw it around all willy-nilly. And the trend doesn't seem to be losing much steam, although thankfully, EA seems to have a touch of common sense and have called Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Dragon Age: Origins The Ultimate Edition for their re-releases.

I never really played Duke Nukem games in my younger days I wasn't into shooters like I am now, but I may give this title a try.
