I'm liking it, I'm in the last act so I'm almost done with the game. My issue is how few and far between guns/ammo are, and how sparse they are. why have an an achievement when it's impossible to find ammo? lol, at least that's been what I've encountered.

The Arena DLC that's coming out can go FUCK itself. No one wants to play a complete rip off of the worst DLC ever released...Mad Moxxi's gay buttsex playground...how long'd it take them to program the DLC? 7 whole minutes? They copy and pasted the same 4 arenas and changed some colors around I'm sure and ONLY 800 points...oh joy!

Ammo can be created at the workbenches when you find their mod in game, I've outlined below where to find them. About the guns, You can "farm" weapons in river village in the jungle. There are two gun cases in the room directly behind the fast travel board, you can fast travel out and back to respawn the cases. I probably came across at least a couple dozen white guns before it dropped an orange magnum. If you have trouble making money, there is a duplication glitch that is easy as hell.

The Police station contains two ammo recipes:
- Pistol Ammo recipe is found in the computer room that unlocks the cell doors.
- Shotgun Ammo recipe is found in a side office on the third floor (during a church side mission)
- Rifle Ammo is given as a reward for the side quest "Little Prince" given by Claire in overpass camp i believe.

Beat this game tonight.
Overall it was pretty good. Wish the story was better... and I wish it would have lived up to its mood I guess. The trailer made it seem like it was going to be sad. It ended up being funny, and corny. It was Dead Rising but in first person in a way.
Still a bad ass game though. Had tons of fun roaming around, going on zombie killing sprees, and making different weapons. The only thing I hated was all the filler missions.
I give it a 7/10.

Well, just YESTERDAY I was doing great, had a ton of side missions done AND great (rare) weapons.
Until the xbox froze while autosaving and corrupted my file!!!!
FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...................
I don't know if this update fixes this problem, because I've found it's pretty common. I hope it does, since I'm starting a new playthrough tonight with a different character.
I'm gonna miss my fully upgraded Gabriel's Sledgehammer + Tesla Mod. :(
I'm actually going to backup my save on a USB drive after every session.

Did the exact same to me, but mine corrupted everything, and I refuse to have to re do it all again. I lost my Lvl 47 Xian, my super katanas, super shotgun and super magnum, I blame the patch for creating bugs that I never dealt with before. Not once did I encounter anything on the patch list.

There's an achievement that requires you to play Act I with every character. So you kinda have to start over three times.
My achievement and challenge progression has not being affected by this, so it's not a total loss.
Anyways, I think this game is awesome and I enjoy it a lot. So I dont mind keep playing it...
