It's good, but not perfect. The weapon fragility is driving me mad, and I'm 10+ hours into the game. It shouldn't take this long for the game to get good.
The weapon fragility becomes easier to deal with if you start thinking of the weapon drops as ammo.
I think that's good advice. In this game you shouldn't fall in love with items, armor or weapons. Plenty of them come to you. Every now and then something more special comes your way and you should use that more difficult opponents but you just need to come to grips with the game play which is you will constantly acquire new things. Use things as you find them to make the game fun.
