It's not worth using weapons...
I went through the whole game just using quick punches to defeat every enemy. The controls and timing is so shoddy that literally every time I used a weapon in combat, I'd die, but every time I just used my fist, I wouldn't get hit once.
If they do make a third game, combat needs to be re-worked desperately. (Haven't played the second game, but I heard that while combat is slightly improved, it's still far from perfect.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
