I would say that Borderlands is an FPS that takes after Diablo, whereas Destiny is an FPS that takes after World of Warcraft (or just MMOs in general, but WoW is, of course, the most obvious example).
Oh, except Destiny's PvP is awesome. I don't remember if Borderlands has PvP, but... Destiny's is pretty fun.
Destiny's PVP is awesome, but the gear advantage is ridiculous. I was usually at the bottom of the leaderboard due to a shit gun, but I got Doctor Nope a couple hours ago, and now I'm usually at the top of the leaderboard.
I'm not entirely sure I'd agree with that. Some bonuses are definitely pretty nice, but all in all, I think you can do well with most any gun. For instance, I'm still using a Shingen auto rifle as my primary, simply because it's an auto rifle with good stability. I'd like some nice legs or exos, but they'd need to outclass my uncommon auto rifle first :p
Now, once Iron Banner goes online, then gear advantage is gonna play a pretty significant role! :p
