Terrible games you want to like, but can't like because of all the horrible design choices that keep on piling up.

I have to say I agree. I want to like this game so much, but its so boring. Everything takes too long to kill, theres too many bad/situational guns, and finding passive/active items is far too rare.
Honestly if they'd just remove health scaling bullshit and fixed the first floor so it wasn't such a chore to play through it wouldn't be so bad.
Literally git gud.
I thought the same about the game until I got good.
Starter gun for the Convict and Marine are really good so there is no excuse. Don't waste keys on brown chests and you'll see that everything will be better.

But anon, playing trough the first floor literally gives me ADHD. Enemies just won't die.
Bosses involves 5 minute dodge dances while permanently poking them.
There is no ~umpfh~ in anything.

Then the game is not for you, simple as that.
But that itself doesn't make the game bad.

I've played about 40 hours and it's gotten pretty sloggy, there's no incentive to go to extra floors because keys are so rare and the enemies are so much more powerful with no payoff (not even any perfect bonuses). health scaling is bullshit. key and item payout in general is dogshit, which leads to the coolness system being utterly broken, the better you do the more shit you get and the less hits you take because of that, if you have bad luck with weapons and items you're shit out of luck and you take more damage and get less shit, leading to a lot frustrating games and the occasional blowout game. At least in Isaac, blue hearts let you still get devil deals but in Gungeon, even taking armor damage locks you out of a perfect.

All the gitting gud in the world can't help all the shitty items/weapons and tedious pacing you have to endure
The game just isn't any fun
Gungeon is a bag of shit
>Terrible pacing, first floor takes a lot longer than it should
>200 lolsorandum weapons,90% are reskinned pistols
>most items are shit, synergies are far between. A lot of A or S class weapons feel unbelievably weak
>Music is wank
>HP scaling means a basic bulletkin takes 2-3 clips on the later levels
>Loads of fun events/rooms that you will probably never see (glitched chests, door lord, mirrors, shrines)
There's a good game under there somewhere but it seems the devs 'balanced' the game so hard they made it a tedious pile of shit

Stop wasting keys on brown chests and the only bad starter gun is the Pilot one.

Fun fact, Convict's Pistol does slightly more damage than the other 3.

I feel like it's more worth it to open brown chests because you're more likely to get passive items. Green and Blue chests have the potential to get cool things but you almost always get guns and since so many of them are nearly identical I feel like you really don't need more, especially since you get them from bosses for free..

Most guns are bad. Which by itself makes the mediocre and good guns stand out.
I.E Camera. Camera is insane and amazing. Or or weapon that kills bullets in flight, or returns them
Or Alien Sidearm, which is a D rank gun. Its completely utterly insane, because its it got a sound cue on charge.
That doesn't change that you can get shit like all the bows, or all the charge weapons. They are usually complete garbage.
So is most of the shotguns and charm weapons.
