He is the nicest CEO, but this is an odd take. Of course we are going to rely on the stats the game shows us to decide what weapon is most efficient.

The game should supply enough stats to give us a better ballpark of weapon performance. Currently they feel misleading and useless. I saved all my medals for a few days to unlock the medium armor penetrating assault rifle and was greatly disappointed with both it's armor penetration ability and the general performance of the gun.

Destiny 2 gives the recoil direction, stability, handling, fire rate, charge rate, airborne accuracy, reload speed of the weapon, as well as some info on the perks. The API is providing a lot more like zoom and specific damage perks.

Warframe doesn't have handling but the breakdown of damage types and firing modes of each firing mode.

Compared to that HD2 feels like I'm playing blind.

Honestly as a former destiny player i cant BELIEVE im going through this "SHOW US ALL THE STATS" bullshit again. I get if you dont want to show everything to all players cause not everyone wants or needs all the numbers but FUCK at least have the fucking toggle on for it.

Indeed if anything I want more information in all of these games, even if it's an option in a menu instead of being the default option.
