User blog comment:Happypal/Borderlands 2 was a huge disapointment/@comment-6002058-20130222110810

I played Borderlands 2 first, so my opinion will be completely different. I haven't played Borderlands 1, but I found Borderlands 2 to be awesome.

Maybe, in the shadow of BL1, BL2 is a weaker game, but I've spent hours enjoying myself, and I'm looking at getting BL1 GOTY, as it sounds as good as, if not better than, the new BL.

From what I have seen, the main advanatages of BL2 over BL1 is that the open maps are larger, more detailed and more diverse, and that the range of guns has gotten larger.

I disagree with your statement about guns running out of use fast; I used a few purple guns that lasted me 5+ levels, in both P1 and TVHM.

However, from what I've seen on the Wiki, BL2 does seem to have an absence of the same number of missions and presence that BL1 had. It also seems that the DLCs in BL1 brought much more to the game (Level Cap increase, more content etc.)

Maybe when I play BL1 I'll see your point of view clearly, but form an entirely n00b-y (to the franchise) perspecitive, BL2 is incredible, and I enjoy everything about it.
