Hey guys, been seeing this game compared to Borderlands a fair bit, not just on these forums but on comments at news sites, etc.
Can it really be comparable to Borderlands? I've pre-ordered regardless and I haven't played the beta, but the feeling I get from videos and the information I see about weapons, abilities, seems very reminiscent of Borderlands... Which is a plus, BL1+2 are my favourite FPS now.
Others may not agree but think borderlands in a open world environment. a one time load in huge zones (assuming you do not fast travel to friends/towns) to shoot to your hearts desire while doing quests and having kickass vechicles to climb mountains/jumps/flips/explore on the way to your points of interest.
Other features include 4 player instances, dynamic events, and future large group oriented encounters.
Yes it is a fair comparison. A lot of the concepts are very similar. The raiders are a perfect example. The damage types on the weapons. The EGO powers, etc.
I'm sure I'm going to catch a lot of flak for saying it. But it's true.
That being said, I still preordered and am very much looking forward to playing Defiance. It has the elements that I thought Borderlands was lacking.
I'd say so.
Four different powers? check
Four player Co-op? check
Digitized vehicle spawns? check
Four legged creatures with tough shells and they roll? check
Focus on guns, shields, and grenades? check
Random chick inside your head who guides you? check
Obviously evil character? check
Psychotic bandits? check
Post apocalyptic looking world? check
Character is hunting for treasure? check
Obvious evil company? check
Probably more, but you get my point, still a great game though.
Played Borderlands 2 for 15 minutes, uninstalled.
Playing Defiance for 2 months, purchased.
The hunt for better weapons and other loot, the respawning at a tower near where you died, the part about you can hurt yourself with your weapon but not another player unless it's PvP.
I saw these in Borderlands (2, mostly, since I never did 1 with other players) and I see them in Defiance. Perhaps if I'd played more such games I'd rattle off more similar ones, but my depth is limited...
Goodo, the more I can compare to Borderlands the more I'll enjoy the game.
Ye I didn't like Borderlands all that much either.Quote:

I enjoyed Borderlands 1 and 2. So I will enjoy this game. It's a much bigger better version of Borderlands.
