Borderlands = Defiance

[Shido]

I put many many many hours into BL1. In fact I do believe I am the first to get the platinum for it in the world. That being said while BL2 was good it was not great. There was something lacking. Yes they improved a bunch of things, specially with combat but they lost that magic from the first game.

Reason I bring all that up is because I enjoy defiance the game (not counting the show yet) because it reminds me of borderlands but in a tps mmo fashion. There is nothing wrong with that. I agree with some of the posters who have said BL should have gone the defiance route and made it more expansive in terms of multiplayer. So far though I have to say defiance is shaping up to be a game I will sink many hours into. Hopefully the tie in with the show creates an even more immersive experience that keeps me coming back long after game fatigue settles in.

I honestly don't know what the heck you were even saying here. Anyway, nobody ever said Borderlands was a perfect game. However, the game managed to be one of the greatest titles released this gen. Defiance has not done that as it's still in a beta so to even insinuate that it's somehow superior is moronic. I'm pretty sure the retail will fix a number of issues. However, if you expect this game to recieve anywhere near the critical acclaim, from the gaming community, that Borderlands has prepare for massive disappointment.

Yeah we get it. You think your opinion is somehow more valid than someone who disagrees with you.

*** Spoiler Alert *** ( It's not )

I had a great time with Borderlands 1 and 2 but I'm having more fun with this beta. I never buy Season Passes but I'm seriously considering it for Defiance. I should have bought the Season Pass for Borderlands, but I'm beyond happy that I didn't buy one for Borderlands 2. Though I enjoyed the game, the only "great" thing about BL2 was Handsome Jack in my opinion.

+1 1up yes! :P

I was the exact same with BL1 it was revolutionary to me, so fun, so many hours vault hunting. Then 2 came and it (to me anyways) felt like if I had left BL1 and then came back several months later and bought a season pass for DLC. There was a ton of new stuff but it just wasn't enough innovation.
