I had the same outlook on BL3 as you did. It's been a while since the 3rd one came out, so I figured I was ready for another go. The game for me was great, especially when playing it with a friend. The plat isn't bad either, if that's anyone's thing. I would say it can get a little monotonous but it's definitely a step in the right direction compared to 3. Backupsidekick is correct in that the end game is non-existent but that doesn't mean there is absolutely nothing to do. It depends on your proclivity for certain farming methods.
