Fair comparison to Borderlands?

[SparX]

If you didn't enjoy Borderlands then why play Defiance? It's Borderlands Online. The only major difference in the gameplay is that it's MMO based as opposed to solo or co-op.

It is quite like borderlands...
Alltough, like some above, I just played it for 15 minutes too before deleting..
The graphics and the strong, cartoonish colors made me just feel bad and sick...,

Defiance, on the other hands, good graphics, and great gameplay,,

Well other then that they share elements common to many shooters, these two games are very different

They share more than elements common to many shooters. A different artistic style and slightly tweaked world concept is hardly very different. Defiance has added some elements not present in Borderlands. But these games are closer to being very similar as opposed to very different. Not that it's a bad thing. I enjoyed Borderlands 1 & 2. I was impressed with what I got to see in the beta of Defiance and plan on playing it for some time to come.

Eventhough i have to agree that its got a lot going in relation to Borderland games i have to say this.

This is for me personally much more like a succesor for Tabula Rasa with a borderlands topping.
In the end TR already did dynamic events (base take overs,dropships middle of nowhere ect ect)

And graphiclly i get a same feeling in some places.

Before Borderlands went cellshadedlike it looked kinda like Defiance, so as long as you dont mind more reallisticly looking game you will like Defiance if you like Borderlands.
That is minus the humor imo, havent seen much ff that in Def then again its a different angle on the setting.

It's a mixture of two MMO's really. Tabula Rasa + Fallen Earth. They used a formula from borderlands that worked, and its quite solid of a game. Well worth the purchase on a console without a doubt. PC? Eh... there's so many F2P's its hard to choose.

Oh yeah, Defiance is definetly a more serious version of Borderlands (and i mean this in a VERY good way).
Heck, i was even trying to build my character skills to be like Zer0 from BL2 lol

Played Borderlands 2 for 15 minutes, uninstalled.

Playing Defiance for 2 months, purchased.

you missed out on tiny tina then

Hopefully the loot drop is better in Defiance than freaking Borderlands 2

[Philote]

They're similar in design, I suppose. They both have random gun drops and take place on a sort of backwater world (at least in the Defiance starting zone), but Defiance just plays better in my opinion, and there isn't a segregation of classes. And as far as I've seen, Defiance has a better solo story aspect. I guess it's a more fun and engaging Borderlands that also happens to be an MMO.
