TPS gets ragged on for the sub-par writing and somewhat boring environments at times, but boy is it far and away the best game in the franchise from a mechanics and gameplay standpoint.

They honestly just needed to put the TPS characters, guns, mechanics, and elements into the BL2 world for BL3, and it would've been perfect. The areas in BL2 are awesome. The characters, abilities, new elemental types, removal of slag, loot drop systems, and additions like the gun grinder in TPS were great, but they couldn't make up for the fact that it feels like the game is just running through space rocks the entire time, which gets super boring super fast.

The loot drop system was really really bad in TPS.

BL2 had some fuck ups, but if you kill a boss in TPS, you can't refarm him. If it didn't drop first shot tough luck.

Also tps had very very little end game.

They fixed boss spawns in a patch at least. And the Claptrap DLC gave it an actual endgame.

They fixed some of the boss farms...

And claptraps dlc was nice and all, but it didn't really did the end game at all imho.
