How is it like borderlands? It's not much like borderlands at all, more like an MMo, Me and halo combined. Borderlands ia a straight forward Sp game, with co-op. Destiny is a huge Open world MMo, with raids, perssitent worlds, MMo mechanics,  etc...... I

both are very similar in the fact that you level up, collect loot, and go through missions with other friends. It most definitely resembles Borderlands in multiple ways. Add on a Halo aesthetic, a new world, and PvP, you get a game that feels different but familiar at the same time.

This game will be remembered, but Game of the Generation is really stretching it. I wouldn't even call Destiny a true representation of a current-gen game. It definitely still has a mixture of last gen-ness.

every MMO and RPG has levelling up and loot, it is mroe like a massive MMo, doesn't feel play or have any mechanics from borderlands, again it's way mroe MMO, ME and halo.


Correct me if im wrong here but I thought  you had 6 people in one world at a time in Destiny?

Borderlands has a huge world, co-op, raids, loot, RPG mechanics, MMO mechanics, PVP (One area Destiny will probably obliterate borderlands in, gearbox should really do some work here)

They are very similar and their is nothing wrong with that as I love borderlands and was going to grab destiny until the pre-sequal got announced.

Like every MMO for the last 20 years, Destiny is way more like MMo's then Borderlands, borderlands is not huge compared to MMo's and the raids are nothing like in destiny, more then 1 fireteam can match up eventually. Borderlands never invented Levelling up, loot, raids lol, MMO's did. it plays nothing like Borderlands outsdie the Loot levelling, which destinys is a lot more MMo focused thenn Sp co-op like BL.

So you're saying the shooting mechanics do not resemble Borderlands..at all? We're not saying Borderlands reinvented the wheel of looting and raids but it's hard to ignore that they both definitely share very similar mechanics, more so than any other MMO released thus far. Yes, the social mechanics in both games are different, but you can still take a team of your friends to go through a quest where you fight through a multitude of adds before fighting the last boss for loot. You're being really specific in your comparisons, but when you zoom out and compare it holistically they're similar. It's a combination of different elements from different games.

Borderlands not huge? Um...it's a fairly beefy games in terms of landmass.
