I already have both games here on GOG, just wondering if people think the additions to Megaton/Redux are worth 5 bucks. (or $3.40 if getting just Duke)

They run better and look nicer in my honest opinion. I would say they are.

They look nice, have modern controls and have quicksave. That's worth the money to me.
Only issue I have is these games are not meant to have full-on mouse aiming, and there seems to be no way to make that a toggle like in the originals.

Devolver has tweeted a few times that new stuff will be making its way to GOG, so I'm hoping some of this is included (at least the Duke expansions).

You can gain some enhancements for your existing Duke Nukem 3D version by running it with (mouse look, widescreen support, better lighting, etc.). If you want even fancier graphics there's also the [url=http://hrp.duke4.net]High Resolution Pack (3D character models, music packs, etc.)

Somebody else - another "regular" here, I believe FuzzyFireball - sent a similar tweet a few weeks prior to mine, and got another response saying stuff was on the way. (I guess I consider that "a few times". :P)
EDIT: I'm kinda hoping we get these as either 9.99 alternatives to the 5.99 games, or these replace the 5.99 games.

If it's the new "redux" versions, well... that would be an interesting conundrum. I would guess they will charge but a lot of people will be pissy about it. Perhaps they could sell them for $10 or $5 if you already own the classic version. People will still complain though.

The Duke Nukem Megaton port is complete shit, it's buggy and forces a 4:3 field of view with NO OPTION to increase it. Also it has no customer support. Why anyone would use it over eduke is beyond me, given eduke has been in developments for years by those in the Duke community, while Megaton is a bang-up job of a few months work.
The Shadow Warrior port is good though, mostly because it's based on the SW OpenGL port, which has a lot of problems.

If GOG gets the expansions they're arguably doing it fine.

What does that mean? That you can't look straight up and down, only tilt your view? Why is that a problem for the game?
The original Duke3D was anyway the first FPS game that instantly turned me into a mouseaim gamer. I always played e.g. Doom 1-2 with keyboard only, after all the mouse support didn't seem to add that much advantage as you couldn't look up/down anyway, and the autoaim was quite heavy.
I still enjoyed the Doom fan mods that changed the graphics to fully 3D polygonal graphics, and allowed free mouse aim, just like in Quake and Unreal.
