Don't get me wrong, I love this game.

Decent but the endgame is really REALLY fun. People who say they love this game, I bet they were referring to the endgame. There's boss raiding, rare item hunting, hell even normal mobbing gets super fun. UVHM + OP levels feels like DRIVING FAST IN A FOGGY FREEWAY AGAINST THE TRAFFIC. You'll feel that adrenaline.

Why is this not recommended? Getting there (normal, TVHM, early UVHM) is tedious, boring and unsatisfying. This game has pacing issues. You are FORCED to grind exp either through mobbing or doing side quests because the main story quests don't give you enough to keep up. Try not to get attached to your gear because the guns you get, even legendaries become obsolete quickly. You are always grinding for exp or gear JUST TO KEEP PLAYING. It's terrible. I can imagine newer players getting turned off by this. You will loathe starting a new character.

UVHM + OP is great because it does not have that pacing issue. You don't have to grind for gear and exp anymore. However, not all guns are viable and you need a decent build to outdamage the UVHM regen. Basically, you need to be a BL2 scholar in order to enjoy the endgame.

Despite all that, I still think it could be worth it. If you want to give this a shot, you should boost your exp by ~10-15% with Cheat Engine, or just jump straight to the endgame with Gibbed. (don't forget to gibbed yourself a grog nozzle).
