Two things so far at 33:20 1) the Ripper is vastly better in this game, as with the Flame Thrower. Essentially. All weapons were balanced very well in this game, making it totally up to the player to use what they so wished. Ripper and Force Gun? Why not. Pulse and Seeker Rifle? Yeah! Javelin Gun Flame Thrower? Go for it. That's because each Gun does what it's intended role is meant to be. They do enough damage to make it viable. The second thing is kind of just an extention of the first. And that is there is redundancy in loadouts. Let's take the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle. They do amazing direct damage to a target. So you have to ask yourself, why use both. In DS1 there really wasn't unless you found yourself attacking the little flesh crawlers that came out of pregnants. But in DS2, there are more smaller, weaker enemies that will swarm you. Meaning that the Pulse Rifle is better suited for these targets because you have much more ammo for them. On top of that, the PR has a Grenade Launcher Alt fire, which is just good for targets, but uses a ton of ammo. So the reason you had an issue with a 4th weapon was the fact you had redundancy. You carried the PC, PR, and Line Gun. Your Direct Damage role was taken up by up to 3 other tools. So even if you'd have taken the Ripper, it would function the same as any other tool in your loadout. Redundant. But doesn't equal bad. I'd have suggested the Force Gun, or even the Contact Beam. The FG for its "Get the hell away from me" utility. The CB for its one shot kill on basically all nonboss enemies. Oh I completely forgot what else I was going to point out. The reticle is actually changeable. In one of the settings, you can switch the aiming back to Classic.
