Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel vs Destiny
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is supposed to be the Borderlands game that occurs in between Borderlands 1 and 2 as it details Handsome Jack's rise to power and wealth. The game features a pretty similar frantic gameplay to Borderlands 2 with a few major changes - Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is set in space and on a planet with low gravity and limited oxygen supply. These factors do bump up the difficult of the game by a notch and it is incredibly fun to enjoy the virtually-designed low gravity effect in first person.Like Borderlands 2, this game brings along with it a brand new cast of anti-heroes, each with their own set of special abilities. Interestingly, you get to play the annoyingly amusing (or is it "amusingly annoying"?) little robot - Claptrap - in this pre-sequel too! Of course, being space, you'll get a new line of vehicles to wreak havoc in.
If you're here for the story, then you'll won't find Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel disappointing, but when it comes to its gameplay, it does feel a bit lackluster at times. All in all though, the game bridges the story perfectly and is pretty much a must-buy for fans of the series, but if you're new to the series, it might be best to start with either Borderlands 1 or 2.
Destiny
Destiny is a console-exclusive FPS/RPG that features a brilliant combination of cinematic storytelling in addition to cooperative and competitive gameplay that will see players banding together to take down challenging bosses or engage in some arena-like PvP. Set in our own solar system way in the future, the game also has a vast persistent online world in campaign mode for you to explore alone or with friends. Destiny provides players with a wide variety of customization and upgrade options as well, allowing you to craft every aspect of how your character look and fight.Destiny has been one of the most critically acclaimed, consoles-only games of the century. The game has the addictiveness of modern MMORPGs as well as the depth that rivals that of Skyrim, albeit set in an aging solar system. If you happen to own a PlLaystation or an Xbox, this is one game you'll want to add to your library.
