My tale will be cut and paste at the end of this...
But first, my thoughts.
Great game!!!! Visceral. Surprisingly so for a RL, almost feels like a firstperson shooter since everything is so hectic.
My biggest complaint... too short! Around level 11 I found the Trigun, and just before or after that I found an advanced pistol. Now, the obvious goal with those two are dual weapons and whizkid to amp the pistol. But... it was far too late in the game (though I didn't know this) to get those perks. I'd love to be able to level up a few more times in the game. I was obviously powerful enough to whip the cyberdemon with a pair of pistol (thanks Vash!) but I wanted more power. More power, I tell you!
This was especially annoying since I spent most of the game with half my inventory full of weapon mods... and then beat the game before I got to whiz kid. Now, I realize this is my fault... but I had no idea the game was going to end on level 25 so I figured I'd level up twice more and clear up some inventory while making my gun all the more powerful (those damage mods came after I used the first 4 I had).
Overall... I totally enjoyed this game. I skipped several of the special levels because the Wiki suggested they were almost insta-death... but that said, I'd still love to see more normal levels. Winning so quickly and unexpectedly was a bit of a letdown (my Nethack ascension was EARNED). But this was fast, fun, kill kill kill and I loved every second of it.
I want to dual weapon Trigun and the Blaster someday.
