I thought the DLC was fantastic, can't believe it was originally part of Forever.

Thing that made me know for sure apart from the locations and content was the spin action on office chairs has its only use in the DLC.

I thought this was known already. Wasn't it stated the SP DLC was going to be from cut levels?

Yea, Yatta said it in the other topic. But come on, we alreaady knew that. But always good to get it confirmed. But it feels different from DNF, so my question is, what was cut from DNF of this? Was it only the levels? Even duke himself seems to have a personality change.

It seems to be based on scrapped ideas and designs, not actually created levels.

Agreed. Proton as the antagonist, levels in Area 51 and Duke Clones as enemies were all plot elements from past builds and/or leaked scripts. The only thing they didn't include was Bombshell (apparently, Dylan was more popular).

But some of the levels from the 2009 leaked media look very close to the actual levels in the DLC (look at the Drunken Crane Master level).

Yes, at first glance it looks identical, but if you look closer it seems clear to me that all the assets are different and it appears to have been remade completely while using the original layout and design.

I had thought that Gearbox had specifically stated that the DLC would be brand new made levels. Quite the misleading statement.

But what was the point in misleading? Especially when people know better based on leaked documents.

I think you can account for Duke's personality change because everyone said it was not funny.

I think they meant that the acual gameplay assets (maps, art, code etc) was completely new, which appears to be the case if you compare it to old screenshots etc. But yeah, they probably shouldn't have used the words "brand new content".

Why not? It's not like they took 4 maps from Duke 3D and resold it for $15 as a DLC for Duke Forever. :)

Because "brand new" implies that it's all new; the ideas are new, the assets are new etc. When it contains a lot of old or reused ideas, people might feel cheated. Not me though.

I don't know if I'm being spoiled here, but am I the only one that feels annoyed with the fact that after paying full-price for a trainwreck with such a lacking campaign, I need to pay even more money to play content that supposed to be in the game in first place?

This isn't the worst game to do this. Atleast they worked on this DLC after the game shipped.
Its when you pay 10 bucks for a 108 KB file thats bullshit; all that does is unlock something on the disc.

There were no need to pay for dlc. You shouldn't have even thought about buying the dlc for, as you said, a trainwreck.

Lots of stuff was supposed to be in DNF since the game was in development since 1997.

I definitely think that at least Balls of Steel owners should get the DLC for free... $90, seriously?

Of course, but the overall product was a lot more rinky-dink than described during pre-orders and totally not worth $90.

I agree with ya, but still, their whole operation of DNF has just come off shady to me.

$100 on day of release. According to The Commander, all Take 2 games are atrociously overpriced in Australia/New Zealand, which is really annoying because the Australian dollar has actually been higher than the American dollar for a while now, so it should be cheaper. But instead they're ripping us off and being jerks.

Well, then I imagined that Balls of Steel was probably just as overpriced if you got it.
