Better comparison would of been Tabula Rasa actually
feels like borderlands/fallout 3/WOW & some of the scenery makes me think of Elderscrolls Morrowind.
I don't think this game is compared to Borderlands. I just don't see it.
It's definitely a fair comparison. When I got my friends to try the beta all I had to tell them was imagine a 3rd person Borderlands set in a sci-fi setting along with an MMO world.
You ever play Borderlands and say to yourself, 'hey this is cool but It'd be even cooler if it was a persistent world & third person!'
Why can't we have 3rd person view in BL2?
Because its a FPS!

But yes, they have similarities![]()
to me it's borderlands, gw2, rift and gears of war![]()
I feel it is like Far Cry 3, Borderlands 2, and Rift. That sounds pretty dang good to me.
Is it similar to borderlands sure, cause they are both loot-driven shooters. Is it a rip off like people are saying? No. I think most people who are saying that are console players who haven't been introduced to fps mmo's before. Part of the reason they share similarities is they are really both "stealing" from the same sources.
However the core attitude of the gameplay is different for these two games.
Borderlands feels like a shooter first, with coop and loot added in to give it character.
Defiance feel like an mmo first, but made a shooter to give it a character.
The shooting and gun gameplay is a bit tighter in Borderlands because it was designed to be a shooter first. Defiance makes more concessions for MMO genre. Is one better then the other, or is Defiance ripping off borderlands? No, but they do share similarities which they should for two games about loot and shooting.
