doh, I can't argue then if you don't see the massive disparity between those games.

Well they are not the same game, but the similaraties are numerous and fundemental aspects of both games. Saying that they aren't very similar and share many of the same core gameplay principles is crazy. 

I'm not saying they aren't similar.

Yes you did "Borderlands is NOT diablo in any shape or form"

I apologize for the emphasis then. Borderlands is so different from diablo despite very similar (who am i kidding) ripped off gameplay aspects, that calling it fps diablo is grossly innacurate. It is like saying that command and conquer is like starcraft.

Your own statements using evidence such as "the gameplay, setting, and humour are all totally different." when saying how different bl is from fallout, can be applied directly to diablo and BL. Completely different tone, completely different setting, completely different gameplay. The only similarity is randomized item drops and teamplay. Similarities for fallout and BL are protagonist wandering a mad-maxian styled wasteland finding vaults and treasure points amid roaming bands and hideaway gangs of raiders in an rpg fps.

DIablo's tone is grimdark, fighting demons by spamming abilities and upgrading your items.

At the time of borderlands development, some of the most popular games were diablo 2 (still), fallout, halo. While we both disagree with which game holds more similarities, it's safe enough to say that the devs looked at popular games and put them in a blender.
