While the general gameplay is indeed somewhat similar to the Borderlands series (One of my favourites, too, btw, with gameplay hours competing with VT1 and Payday 2) with fast pace and encouraged cooperation, some things are quite different. Where in Borderlands, loot and character abilities form a major part of gameplay, here they are a means to an end, the end being enhancing your own skills and surviving ever bigger odds with those skills.

Don’t be discouraged, though: to start, VT2 is half the price of major games. We will get more variance in levels at least with DLC. If the devs grab some of our ideas or just figure out their own, we might get some more weapons. And VT1 got a Last Stand mode at one point (think Survival), and that’s missed by at least some players, so we might get that too. And there’s a lot more to do with Deeds, possibly by tuning them closer to VT1’s Bounty Board (daily quests, if you like).

I could also insert some sappy stuff about the real reward being new friends met through playing with randoms, but I don’t do that, so I’ll leave you to decide about friendship rewards yourself.
