But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned this, but this game is really funny.  A lot of games try to be funny, but just about every bit of dialog in this is hilarious.  My favorites are the things Scooter says when you pass a Catch-a-Ride, and Tannis' journals.

Scooter's ma's girl parts are rolling in their grave over his strange obsession.

Four wheels are better than, uh, zero

Wheels

Anyway, I finally replaced that shotgun.  I feel kind of like I betrayed it.  I hope it's not mad at me.

Why can't they just let you carry every weapon you've ever found? One section will be for recent guns, the rest an advanced search section.

also, they said that it would not just be the same guns with different colors. But from what im hearing, it sounds like you can have the same gun with different colors, along with different effects. Not excatly the same but still sounds like a lie

Right now I know what WorkerDrone feels like all the time.

I think he meant to imply that you're a nub.  :)

That is to say, he's exasperated with your desire for dumbing down of the game.

THATS THE THING I WANTED TO FIGHT!

I'm so glad it's still in the game.

Anyway, the guns look quite similar to each other, especially within a single manufacturer, but really, think about the real world.  How many different basic gun shapes are there?

Yeah, there are a few weird ones, but most of them seem to be by those FN dorks, and they're French so it's probably some kind of modern art thing.

Game is the shit. The randomly generated weaponry works pretty much like Diablo and is a very effective carrot on a stick...the combat is lots of fun...levelling up is fun just like in Diablo where you can't wait to level up and get that next skill point. The graphics and environment are sweet. What else do you want? I've just been playing co-op with a friend who has two completely legal copies and it's awesome.

The downsides...running out of ammo is really annoying; I guess Diablo had durability of items that you had to go back and repair, but first of all, they took a LONG time to degrade, and second, you had town portals so it was no big deal to go back and fix them. Here if you run out of ammo during a big fight, you get to eat a dick, walk back to town, and come back to find the boss at full health again.

The other downside is that the classes don't seem distinct from each other. I'm playing a Siren and my friend's a Hunter and aside from having different special abilities, which we don't use all that often, the two play pretty much the same. Haven't tried the other two but since everyone can use the same weapons equally well, it seems like there's little point in having different classes.
