I feel like you only did one playthrough on these games and didn't attempt the better versions of it and didn't get the full extent of the loot system or the difficulty. Coop is better in Borderlands overall because the entire game was designed around coop and you can always have 4 people to play with. Also Destiny has the worst net code I've ever seen. I've killed people around corners on my screen and punched them dead a good 2-3 seconds after getting killed and I know this only accounts for pvp but I have noticed some very buggy fight in pve as well and the hitboxes feel the same to me in both games.[spoiler]tosh means a joke[/spoiler]

  • The reason I didn't bother with a 2nd playthrough because of all the unnecessary hoarding. Even if I did, I'm only gonna get better stats but their overall changes are pretty insignificant regardless. It's like eating a bag of chips, you want to stop eating yet for some reason you can't. Also the only reason I stated Borderlands wasn't as difficult is because of lack penalty, so no matter what you do the punishment is extremely lenient on you. But there's nothing wrong with Borderlands difficulty since it's built around just to goof off most of the time so everyone is on equal ground. I agree that the netcode in Destiny does have it's issues but I never stated it was a perfect game by all means. Borderlands maybe built around co-op but you're actions doesn't seem to make much of a difference even in a group of 4 because it doesn't feel like the AI is designed to take on all 4 players.

    I'm sorry but you just don't get the full experience in one play through. The guns just become much more interesting not with better stats but with unique features and difficulty is subjective to the level of the player and there loot. Trust me when I say the second play through is way better AI in borderlands is actually pretty smart especially against 4 players

    We can agree to disagree from here. Something of Borderlands about being constantly rewarded doesn't feel special at all. I personally would rather wait to get that unique weapon than be giving a bunch of items every few minutes as if they leave a trail for you to pick up, well that and the controls feels very lackluster its also why I didn't give it a 2nd chance; it doesn't have an identity of what type of shooter it wants it to be? acrade, arena or realism so it's neither of those. The shooter apsects feels shallow. Finally the AI between Destiny and Borderlands is debatable but the only noticeable difference in Borders is increased health and damage output based on players level.

    I can see that I don't agree however because legendary weapons are just as rare as exotics if not more so (because of Xur). A valid point non the less. Also I prefer there to be more difference in my levels than less but again a valid point.
