Borderlands 2 or XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Both are interesting in their own way. That said, I had more fun with Borderlands 2, even if I like tactical games more than shooters.

Borderlands 2 !

Borderlands 2 ofc... iIf you familiar with X-COM series you will be disappointed if you play older X-COM the new X-COM EU is to casual , no pleasure from strategy like was in original X-COM games

I have both, but I played in the end borderlands 2 more

I've never encountered a bug in X-Com, that would make me dislike the game. It's usually clipping issues and stuff like that, nothing important. On the other hand, I have some fps issues with BL2, especially while playing online (the game starts lagging for me sometimes, even as I set all setting on low - though my PC is definitely powerful enough). But both games are great nonetheless and so far I had fun playing them.

Bl is mindless fun. Basically an fps with a skill tree. The RPG elements are borderline nonexistant.
Having both, I would pick Xcom any time of the day over BL just because the borderlands experience so to speaks grows old (for me at last) after around 20h ... xcom is more varied and interesting for me, also by now plenty of modds have come out to make the experience closer to what the original was. I am on my 2nd playthrough at the moment...

Borderlands 2 I think, if you have some friends to play together

i would pick XCOM: Enemy Unknown if i only play games alone, but if you have some friends to play with, pick BL2.

One question about Borderlands, were there any good deals in the past for Season Pass only (below 10€)?

Borderlands 2

I find Borderlands is boring...maybe grindfest type game is not for me
So I would choose XCOM

get them both :) as for dlc's there are 2 many to buy them now (at least for borderlands..) I for one i'm waiting for a pack.

XCom all the way.

Well, both games will last you a long time. And as much as it pains me to suggest a FPS over a TBS, I'd say Borderlands 2. I usually don't got to crazy for FPS games, but that one tickled me in all the right places. I've sunk 50+ hours into BL2 so far and haven't finished it yet, there's just so much fun shit to do, and I haven't even bought any kind of DLC yet.
But if you're in the mood for something a bit slower paced, you are not making a bad choice with Xcom.

Save money for Xenonauts.

XCOM. The single player is better.

Ok, I bought Borderlands 2 now, and I'll get XCOM as soon as I can. Thanks a bunch guys, I really appreciate your input. :)

xcom isn't at 75%

I loved XCOM. UFO Defense was all I played when I was younger. I was a bit let down with how modding has been handled with XCOM, which turned me off to the game after ~40 hours of playtime. I just bought Borderlands 2, but if it's anything like the first, I'm going to get lost in it.

If you need to use brain = Xcom

brainless shooting with lvl ups = borderlands

Borderlands 2 + Seasson pass

i play borderlands 2 on my x360, and i like it so much

XCOM!

Already ended and you made your choice but still voting for borderlands 2

XCOM also had a better deal on GMG a week ago or so. Maybe wait on both?
