>X3 is rightfully regarded as one of the lesser X games for having shit weapons
Hold the fuck on, X3 weapons are great, what are you talking about?
>Frost Shield
Kills almost every enemy in 1-2 close range hits, health pickups guaranteed.
>Spinning Blade
Obliterates every enemy in the game
>Triad Thunder
forms a shield around X, then blast the shield away hitting every enemy near, extremely useful against small and medium enemies, Allows you to quickly dash across the stage, Turns some stages like Tunner Rhino's into a complete joke.
>Ray Splasher
deals decent damage and is useful for hitting out-of-range enemies.
>Acid Burst
weak, but every enemy killed by this weapon gives you weapon capsules
>Parasitic Bomb
weak, but ideal to get rid of small enemies

Gravity Well and Tornado Fang are complete shit 99% of the time but still, 6-out-of-8 with 4 amazing weapons and 2 ok-ish ones? That's a better arsenal than in most X games. AND ALSO, buster upgrade is shit, charged weapons are not worth it. The best way to experience X3 IMO is a no armor, no unnecessary collectables run, extra points if you get the Z-Saber.
