Man, this is just making Borderland GOTY even better looking.

Too bad I know I'll never buy it until it's about $20 in some store somplace.

God, I'm such a skinflint.

Borderlands is nowhere near "Game of the Year" territory.

Anyway, I will wait to download the DNF demo as soon as someone uploads it.

Heh probably most pirated demo ever lol... Unless its just being used to gain early access and they release the demo soon after, or don't protect the demo, which maybe couldn't be considered piracy once its uploaded.

I hated Borderlands, so the thought of buying it again just to play a demo for a game I've waited to play 8 years ago is a no-go.

So long is an understatement! jk :P I sold the console version of Borderlands, and this would be a good excuse to pick this one up (not just for DNF demo). Uhh.. Who am I kidding! :P

Sorry but I'm not interested. Paying $40 for a 2 year old game that comes with a bad demo is stupid.

I see you've already played the DNF demo. Care to share where you found it? Surely you couldn't consider it bad unless you've played it.

First of all that seems stupid just to play a demo, also, Steam.

I'll just "Play the demo at my friends house" If you get my point :roll:

The saddest thing about this move is the large number of simpletons and push-overs here accepting this move, saying it's OK and that they would love to pre-order the Game of the Year Edition of Borderlands so that they can get the Duke Nukem Forever demo. Unfortunately, we're now driving ourselves deeper and deeper into a gaming industry full of rip-off schemes that target idiots who enjoy pre-ordering games so that they can play "betas" or "demos." For those of you who still don't get it - and at this point, it would come as no surprise - what I'm saying is that both "betas" and "demos" should be distributed freely either to the general public or those who receive invites following free sign-up periods. Now, developers are making sneaky moves and, apparently starting with Duke Nukem Forever, we will be required to pay in order to play demos. Don't feed me any of the, "We're paying for Borderlands, not the demo!" nonsense. If that were the case, you would have purchased Borderlands a long time ago. And the only reason you're now excited about the Game of the Year edition is because it will give you access to the Duke Nukem Forever demo.

In a time period at which I've been seriously thinking about abandoning the industry all-together because of terrible practices and lack of creativity, this move only reinforces those thoughts. Sometimes I wonder why I hang around any longer. To put it lightly, some of the responses in this thread absolutely sicken me. To encourage this move is possibly the most disgusting act I've ever seen in my own personal history of having played video games.

I'll be honest. The only reason I'm buying the GOTY edition is because I "obtained" vanilla Boarderlands. I liked it and I want to support Gearbox. Not only that, but it's a pain in the butt to "obtain" the DLCs and get them working properly with cracks and patches. I wanted to be able to play with my buddy who got it through steam, and subsequently gets auto updates that I wouldnt have with "obtained" versions, so I decided upon the announcement of the GOTY edition that I would get it because it contains all the DLS, including the new Claptrap one coming out soon, for a mere $40 or $50. A deal if you ask me. It had nothing to do with the Duke demo. I think what they are doing with the Duke demo sucks, and, as a result a lot of people are going to "obtain" the demo and "obtain" the retail copy in order to try before they buy. Publishers are idiots. Companies being run by 50+ year old PC illiterate men whose most advanced computer growing up was a pocket calculator. They are not relevant in this technologically advanced industry, yet, they are the top of the food chain and if we wont to play the games they are in charge of we have to succumb and be their *****. Sad, true facts.

I have to say i agree. This gen is by far the most "rip off" based from game companies. Oh look we got a million worthless dlcs for you. Oh look preorder for gamestop to get that, oh look preorder this to get that. Hell in dead space 2 and moh you get some older ea games if you buy them. It just feels like they try to make us get use to buying in those extra worthless stuff that we dont care about.

You guys make it sound as if you are forced to buy them. I don't understand how giving you free stuff when you preorder is a bad thing. Is the alternative better, no free stuff with your preorder?

The issue is that gamecompanies are using more and more this tatctic to either sell useless tiny dlcs with preorders or demos and betas. The thing is that in the past we get those for free. Now i dont demand those for free. But come on? get a demo for buying the goty unrelated game is clearly a move to push the sales rather giving a demo so gamers can enjoy. It makes you wonder what carp they gonna pull in the future? They will want everything for themselfs. They would ask us to pay for demos and betas..hell even patches.

There is still time to get cancelled again :shock: besides, mos of the game is heavilly touched by this consolish fast releasing thingy the developers do now. Most games that come out nowdays are being made and released fast with money in mind than the game itself.
