One game: Borderlands 2 or Dishonored?

Due to time constraints and other upcoming games, only want to get one of these. Which would you choose?

I never played the original Borderlands but just watched some IGN live commentary footage and didn't find it amazing (maybe the player was just way too powerful for what they were showing which made it very boring) but so many people are excited for the game. Dishonored looks somewhat different but with any new IP, it's a crapshoot.

I would go for Dishonored. Borderlands is only fun if playing in a co-op. Otherwise it is a boring, grinding game. My opnion though.

If that's the case, then I'm definitely leaning Dishonored. I work long/odd hours so usually play late at night, so co-op with friends is normally not an option.

Yep - the first Borderlands was an AWESOME game, as long as you had a handful of people you could join online and go through it with. If that's going to be tough for you, go with Dishonored.

The original Borderlands was good.. But personally I would go with Dishonored

I think you get more bang for your buck with Borderlands.... At most I see 2 playthroughs on Dishonored: one of going in guns blazing, and one all stealth. With 4 characters to choose from, different loot, and a large online multiplayer community, I'd go with Borderlands. I think Dishonored has GOTY potential, but if I was only getting one game, I'd get Borderlands because you're gonna get more out of it.

However, I'm sorry you have to choose, because I'll be getting them both.

Dishonered, I'm not a fan of the Borderlands series. Plus, give the new franchise the sales it needs!

I would choose Dishonored.

Im in the same senario and im doing dishonored

Honestly if you haven't played the first Borderlands then don't even bother with the second.

It's fantastic, don't get me wrong. But the story and jokes transcend the second game, so you won't find it as good.

Buy Dishonored. It looks amazing so far, and plays great. (Played the demo at Fan Expo, think Bioshock mixed with Fallout)

Really tough call. Obviously I can't say anything about Dishonored yet as it hasn't been released, but I've been playing Borderlands 2 the past few days and I must say it is fantastic. Of course, when you're not shooting at things you'll be managing the never ending loot you get (guns, guns, and more guns), so if you're limited on time you may want something more focused - in that case I think Dishonored would probably be the better game for you.

However I definitely recommend picking up both at some point.

Based on sample (Borderlands 2 is out and playable Dishonored isn't) I'd go with Borderlands because it is quite awesome, but I am really looking forward to Dishonored as well.

Don't get Dishonored. It is only 10 hours long (which was admitted by the developers), and the game will most likely bomb, leading to a price cut by the end of the year.

It depends. If you are looking for most "bang for the buck" I'd say Borderlands 2. However if you never played the first, then I might recommend Dishonored. You don't need to play the first Borderlands to enjoy BL2, but it helps in regards to stroy and characters.

Honestly if you haven't played the first Borderlands then don't even bother with the second.

It's fantastic, don't get me wrong. But the story and jokes transcend the second game, so you won't find it as good.

Never mind i got borderlands 2 instead. Borderlands is going to be better now than it will be later, but if dishonored is good it will be good forever because its singleplayer

Lets just cut through the crap already.
You have obviously already made up your mind to buy Just Dance 4 instead.

I'd recommend Borderlands. Even if you didn't seem the footage to be interesting, you absolutely HAVE to play it and experience it yourself. Just make sure you have friends online to play with.

Dishonored looks really cool, but as far as i'm concerned I really have to stick with BL. BL should have more value too, taking in the effect of online co op.
