GTA 4 or Borderlands 2, which is better?

Borderlands 2

It would come down to a matter of taste and preference. Personally, I prefer Borderlands 2 by a large margin.

On amazon, Borderlands 1 GOTY and Borderlands 2 standard are only 12 dollars bundled together...so GO FOR IT
It's worth it especially if you play with friends

No contest, Borderlands 2

Let me save you some time and money here, because I sure as hell wasted mine. GTA4 is an awful game. It has bad vehicle controls, terrible combat, poor voice acting, shit protagonist, story hardly worth following. No checkpoint system, so if the game glitches out on you have fun doing that 20 minute driving and shooting section to back at were you were in a mission. It is super repetitive; either you are driving the same monotonous streets with one of the worst car handling I've come across in a game that's mainly about driving or suffering through the most boring of gunplay, even the sound of the weapons is trash.

Do yourself a favor and get BL2, if you want a GTA play Vice City or San Andreas, because those are actually worth playing.

GTA IV has shit PC optimization, although the mods are still fun. Don't know anything about Borderlands.

BL2

definitely Borderlands 2

if you have friends to play with, then Borderlands 2. It's so much fun with 4 players online. If you have a xbox controller then GTA 4.

GTA IV's port on PC is so terrible! Go for BL2, especially if you have 3 friends to play with.

The only reason I would recommend GTA IV is if you haven't played any game in the GTA series and you would like to get a feel for the gameplay & controls in preparation for GTA V.

Unless you REALLY want to go bowling, BL2.

Definitely Borderlands 2. Really fun, I got completely sucked into it. Amazing replayability and action, especially if you are playing co-op.

Borderlands 2. I was surprised by how good it was asI wasn't really a fan of the first one.

both

I have GTA IV and Borderlands 2 on steam but when you have BL2 and no one to play with than it´s boring.

I would say go for GTA :P

Both lol xD but if i'd had to choose, BL2 if you have friends to play with and GTA for fun xD

If you are going for the open-world-ness, go for GTA IV. There are many things to do (you need a decent rig though, it's a poorly optimized game and even my HD7950 can only churn up to 50 FPS, averaging at ~40 FPS)

Not sure about BL2 as I haven't really played it before, but I do know that you should buy it only if you have a friend/partner to play the game with.
Actually, both games are more fun if you have someone else to play with :p (GTA IV multiplayer isn't coop-campaign but still fun)

these are two really different games, and both are awesome,for co-op Borderlands 2, for playing solo GTA IV

Borderlands,gta4's drm is terrible.

if anyone wants to play Borderlands 2 add me on steam..we will play together..
