So, as I'm sure most of us know, there's a pretty big variety of weapons in this game! So far, we know about 10 main weapons, 9 subweapons, and 7 special weapons. I just have one concern; namely, regarding main weapons...
The vast majority of the main weapons we know about so far are shooter types. Shooter types look really fun and cool, don't get me wrong, but... we have five shooters, three chargers and two rollers, not counting the paintbrush 'cause it's DLC. So, when the game first comes out, people who favor shooter types will have five weapons to choose from - the Splattershot, the Splattershot Jr., the Aerospray MG, the Jet Squelcher, or the Blaster. Roller types, meanwhile, will have to take either the standard Splat Roller or the Dynamo Roller. I dunno about you, but as someone who likes to try out lots of different weapons, that doesn't sound super exciting to me. Chargers don't have it much better, with just the Splat Charger, the E-Liter 3K, and the Splatterscope to choose from. It's technically possible that they're still hiding several weapons from us, but with the release date coming up so soon, I don't know how likely that is. I dunno about you guys, but I find this inequality in weapon distribution somewhat disconcerting. It's true that they could use DLC to equalize things, but I don't know how long that would take... what do you guys think? Are they still hiding some weapons from us, or are they planning on patching things up with DLC? Or do they just not care that much about providing an equally fun and varied game for people who prefer Chargers or Rollers in the first place?
