Borderlands 4 had a great campaign, but after launch, it has an almost non-existent endgame that was not how things should have launched.

But that’s one aspect; the rest is when we move into live service territory. And that? That’s not going well, particularly in regard to an endgame that is close to non-existent.is not a live service, but it has holiday events, weekly resets and a roadmap with five content additions between now and Q1 of next year, including a new character release.

. So yes, it’s a live service, you can’t fool me.needed to launch with an endgame. The only thing it has is UVHM 5, the highest difficulty, with no actual reason to play it, given that in, not only are dedicated drop rates the same as every other difficulty, every level 50 item is the same power. So, why bother?The weekly resets are dull. There’s a single boss to farm with mildly increased rewards.

It feels like the game did the bare minimum here, and at best, put enough loot in to farm up cool builds. But there’s no real content to use them in for the most part, and things like UVHM 5 were not thought through very well at all. I doubt that the Invincible boss and Pearlescent rarity will be moved up, but this doesn’t seem like the best plan currently, delaying all this for months and months after release. Maybe when they arrive, things will pick back up. A new character is exciting, for one. But for now? It’s easy to understand why players who
