No one considers Borderlands 2 for GOTY?

I hope not. It's hard to find a game with more boring missions than Borderlands, at least the first one.

But Borderlands 2 is awesome. I hated the first game and now I have dumped 53 hours into the second game so far. That's by far the most time I have invested into a game this year.

How can that be? In what way is Borderlands 2 significantly different?

Much much better in every way imaginable. There's a reason why it has a much better review score.

Now I'm curious. From my understanding the sequel (according to reviews) is just a refined version of the original, but nothing has essentially changed.

My main problem with the original Borderlands was that it was far too adapted to co-op play, which made the missions extremely simple and repetitive, and the overarching story presentation was so laid back and subtle that I found the whole game meaningless.
