HARD disagree? I genuinely don't get how you could think that.
First of all, like I said every weapon Lo-Wang has is useful through the whole playthrough, as opposed to Duke (Tripmines, Expander) and Blood (Dynamite alts). The melee is high risk/high damage, the uzi's great against small groups in enclosed spaces, the heart's pretty useful when low on health...
Every explosive weapon in that game does tremendous damage, and sounds and feels like it could rip the nuts off a godzilla. Shit, it was so good they even made the railgun into an explosive weapon, just so you'd have more occasions to blow shit up.
As for the riot gun, I often see people complain about it and I definitely don't understand why. It's criminally underrated. It's powerful, there's plenty of ammo for it, and the alt fire kills most enemies in one shot if you get them point blank. It even sounds like a flurry of explosions every time you shoot. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! I agree that Blood's sawed off is a strong contender, but it's still miles above Duke's comparatively vanilla shotty.
