Make "View current stats/score" screen a menu option

    First off, people love to show their scores.
    people are super sad if they can't die or end their game to a glitch (and can't see their score)

    Also: It's easy to look down and say "well I've got 4 missile launchers and 5 gasoline tanks and 3 etc... so... I have no idea what happens when I shoot, but yay! bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!"


    Basically I propose a screen you can bring up through the menu during a game that shows your current score/kills/item count etc, but also details:
    - What total effect occurs on hit. i.e. 32% chance of missiles, 6 life leech, 24% chance to stun etc
    - What total effect occurs on crit. i.e. 30 health, (I'm sure more "on crit" items will join us soon)
    - What total effect occurs on kill. i.e. 8 soul missiles, 40 healing, 2 ghosts, fire etc
    - Other misc stats i.e. Regen in/out of combat, move speed, damage, crit chance etc.


    ... Lots of rpg-type games have this screen (D3, Path of Exile etc), it's informative and fun to theory craft around!
    I'm hoping that this doesn't get a blanket "It's not a rogue-like thing, so nope."

      Actually this was the first thing that came to mind, but I wouldn't be against such a screen. The whole "item effects are a mystery" part is gone because items tell you what they do anyway, and I bet that we'll accrue all the specific information on items in a wiki or in threads or something upon release.

        I get a huge boner for stat screens, so I am all behind this idea. I think it would be easier to implement on a per item basis, though, rather than grouping all 'to-hit' items, all 'on-crit' items, etc. That is to say, you just hover your mouse over your AtG Mk.1 missiles to see 'chance-to-proc', or over the S??? Egg to check how much regen it gives out of combat, and so on and so forth.

          You could also have a window floating in your screen as long as you hold a certain button like Tab that tells you all you need to know. Just a little list of stats. I like Biomatter's idea too, though.
