I'd Say if it seemed similar to anything Gameplay wise, maybe Defiance more than BLs, but Honestly, this game has had way more time and effort put into it, to keep things alive. plus the concept of the game, an Open world shooter, with on the fly match-making, is unique, and definitely worth investigating. Pre-order it from Gamestop, its $60 and if you're a Power-up rewards member and you return it withing a business week, you get a full refund.
