is this game better than the first one

[BlazenSoul25]

i heard this one wasnt as good but what do uguys think i havnt played either one

[Azure Zero]

both are great, and each plays differently.

[BlazenSoul25]

how do they play differently?

[Azure Zero]

the second one has a borderlands element added to it, and the way the game progresses.
The first is very linear, the second has a hub town were you can pick up quests.

This is a completely different game. I really really liked the first one and I like this one too but they have very little in common. The first one you were herded along a completely linear path, which was fantastic because it was really well done. This game has a hub that you keep going back to to get objectives and complete misions one at a time. It also has a crafting system that people either love or hate (I personally am not a fan). These are obviously just my opinions

[Grim Sorrow]

I prefer this one , more weapon and customisation on those weapon and map that you can go back

I enjoy both games myself, but i'm leaning towards this one more so than the original. Because what I didn't like about the original, was how playing on Heroic Difficulty can seriously ♥♥♥♥ you over if one tiny mistake was made, as well as the bullet-spongy enemies (there's a diference between "tough" and "bullet spongy"). Not to mention, if you get downed after investing in the "Drain Soul" and "Soul Hunger" perks, you'll have to wait a full minute for it to reset.

While Insanity-7 can indeed become quite tedious at times, it's at least doable if you use specific gems on your weapons. And if you get downed, the Hand-of-the-Reincarnation amulet automatically negates the 1-minute cooldown if equipped.

I like the sequel much better. Faster paced combat, open levels, and like Borderlands, it's just a relaxing game to jump into and unwind after working out, or whatever it may be. I especially like the gem system because you can tailor your playstyles, weapon specifics, and elements to always keep it interesting.

The only negative is that the upper most difficulty levels can feel really grind, but I found that using cheat engine to force gem level drops to be higher to bring new life into the late late game. Early weapons that lost their viability stand a chance and if you're like me and don't game very much, it balances out the sense of reward. However, I only got to that point after over 200 hours (which is a lot for me for a game,so others' mileage will vary if they usually play games more).

The fist game interests me, but the combat was too clunky with a game pad because of the different analog stick combos to perform certain maneuvers or spells (right - right is a lot harder to do on a 360 analog stick in the middle of combat). SW2 replaced that with a much more intuitive system.

However, if there are a few things I wish they'd have brought back are the enemies to broaden then mix even more and Hoji. I don't mind the new girl like other people, but I think it withe be hilarious to have her and her uncle having a tiff with Wang caught in the middle of their abuse.

not to mention, the stairs glitch from the original game automatically kills you if you dash down them (at least this wasn't the case in "Shadow Warrior 2")

SW1 is linear.
SW2 is somewhat open, and is basically a dungeon crawler but first person shooter.

Playing Shadow Warrior 2 makes me think "Hm ... I wish I was palying Borderlands right now.".

It does various things damn right and some ... not so much. But personally I think part 2 is way better than part 1 because of: open world. Randomnes.

...and better gore, better weapons, more weapons, more weapon types, more skills, more maps...

And IMO a lot better gunplay. Sadly gunplay in SW1 wasn't all that stellar (I especially didn't like the shotgun, it should've been handled a lot better), in SW2 "classic" guns are a lot of fun.
