Did you like the first one? I have both, and they have been many countless hours of entertainment.

Didn't play the first... I just keep seeing stuff about this new one.. I guess the better question, is should I play them both?

I would suggest it if you have the money and patience. They are both great games, and you won't be so confused about the story in the second one if you play the first one. There are many references and jokes to appreciate in the second one based on the the first one's characters. Great gameplay, humor, loot collecting, ability upgrading, excellent dlc.. I say go for it.
