So now the railgun does the exact same damage as a rocket launcher but with half the firing rate and no splash damage despite it being the second to last weapon you find.
The rocket launcher can potentially do 20 more points of damage than a rail with a direct hit and even the splash damage alone can do more (up to 112) so it's even worse than what I just described. So why would I ever use the railgun now when the rocket launcher is just the better option? Splash damage is a downside to the rocket launcher so maybe use the railgun as a close range alternative? Well the super shotgun does 20 more damage per shot and has a faster firing rate AND has more common ammo so no.

So how about using it to pick off weaker enemies at a distance/on higher ground? well you've already got the machine gun for that and its easier than ever to use since you removed the recoil plus it has common ammo. I just did the math and the nerfed railgun can do 3800 damage a minute. The machine gun on the other hand? It does 4800 lol! They took the second best gun in the game and butchered it to the point where it's only better than the blaster and regular shotgun. Unbelievable.

I can understand why you would want people to use other weapons but the solution is not to make one weapon useless. Just leave its 150 damage alone and cut the ammo pickup down from 10 to 5.

>I hate the term "Metroidvania" but I get why it's used, it's easier to let others immediately know what you are talking about.
Find me a single person on Earth who has never played a video game before in their life who can hear the term "Metroidvania" and know what the fuck you're talking about. Other properly named genres like "First Person Shooters" on the other hand? Yes they will have a general idea what those games are about, shooting things in first person. Terms like "Doom clone" died out for a reason. "Search Action" is a much more logical and fitting term.

Think of movie genres as well. Drama, Comedy, Western, etc, all give you a very quick and concise idea of what the movie is about. Imagine if every single action movie was referred to as a "SchwarzeneggerStallone-Like". That's how fucking retarded Metroidvania is. "Search Action" is the proper term for this genre.
