What's so great about the endgame?

[Shabranigdu]

Can people more versed in this tell me what's with that message at the end that tells you the real game starts now? I get it with Diablo, there's the rifts, adventure mode, legendaries and sets that do change how the classes play, but I've played the new mode with my friend for a while and we see no improvement, similar drops and all, we just continue leveling up, nothing special so far.
Also, was it better in B2? People sing it's praises while critizying this and 3, dunno if we should move to 3 afterwards or try B2 new game+ again
Thanks

TPS' end game is severely lacking compared to Borderlands 2. BL2 has several end game bosses, the overpower levels, and quite a bit of DLC content. TPS on the other hand has at most three end game bosses, no overpower levels (OP for short), and only has one major DLC to its name.

If you haven’t played ttw then compared to that you have way more wnd game stuff to do.

I see, so much for the real game starting at the end. Thanks for the insight

If you're watching about quantity yes. There're 9 raid bosses and digi peak as endgame.

If you're watching about quality, not really. OP levels is the worst scaling in the history tbh.
No real improvements, similar drop and all if i quote you. No smarter AI enemies etc

Let's be honest, there're a lot of nostalgia about BL2.
Imo, BL2 NG+ is bad cause you just do the same thing than in NVHM. No many new enemies, new gears, no gears locked in OP Levels etc

Mayhem Levels has balance and design issues (like OP Levels in BL2) but it's still better than OP Levels.

BL2 contained a huge amount of content, including Raid bosses and Digistruct Peak.

They probably intended to make similar content for BL:TPS, but ... the game wasn't as well received and 2K Australia got shut down. So ... most of the DLC content got scrapped.

Thanks for the extra input guys. Seems it's really not what I would expect from diablo-likes, that little message overblew it.

It’s a looter shooter, but not on the same thing as Diablo, for that maybe path of exile, torchlight 2, or grim dawn.
