And of course the circumstances in which it must be utilized... of- course...

>>188817
Also, the M16A1 in the supergame mode was agony.

156 individual parts. It's like everything on that gun is spring-loaded.

To put that in context, the AK-47 has 63 parts, the Sig SG522 Commando has 90, and the MP5 has 70.

The Land Shark Gun

Best concept for a gun ever.

A shame you never got too many reloads for it.

>>188819
Saints Row 3 did it too.

The Halo 1 pistol, the Doom 1 shotgun, GoldenEye’s remote mines, any weapon in any Splatterhouse game (especially the chainsaw), Strider Hiryu’s sword, and Zero’s saber in any MMX game where he’s playable = my favorite vidyagaem weapons.

>>188857
Indeed, when the gimmick is cutting then the cutter will rule them all.

>>417675
Yeah, they wanted to make sure they could inspire a cool and unique moveset for Smash Bros

>>417683
They could do alot with Byleth in Smash.

You've got the whip sword and you've got one of their proficiencies being Brawling (a new thing in terms of weapon types from that game) for general moveset, you've got their unique class which is a warrior / caster which could be some sort of super state, you've got Gambits and Battalions which could be represented by them calling in their students for moves and then they've got the whole reversing time power which could be a recovery or something.

Last time I saw this was when I was watching a stream of the ZF clan playing Trouble in Terrorist Town.

And on the side of the Brotherhood, of course.

Yellow Gun is best girl.

>>418752
I only really played Jak 2 and not Jak 3 which added a bunch of 'sub-options' for each ammo type, but yes Yellow was probably the best general purpose weapons.

Red was good to spam along with your punch in a crowded melee while purple was the great demolisher even if it had more limited ammo.

What was blue again, a heavy machinegun or gatling?

>>419622
It was Clouds only non-retarded weapon, and that's not saying much. It's basically a stupid looking impractical Zweihander.

>>419623
Cloud had a bunch of weapons in FF7 that were just large two handed swords, you could see them since equipping weapons actually changed the appearance in battle.

>>417755
Dante's stylish yet straightforward practical twin pistols are so much cooler than Nero's nonsensical double barrel revolver.

>>419778
I don't even remember that part of the game, only that with the best equipment you could get maximum stars in all but one of the categories, either one or another depending on equipment, but either of them made you so powerful that the game was cakewalk.

>>420212
Is that a sword or a gun?

I need to play Metal Wolf Chaos one day. Have to dig up my xbox and perhaps mod it with a larger HD (or an IDE to SD mod).

>>420213
oh wait,
>Metal Wolf Chaos XD
>XD

They ported it to Steam. Not bad. Saves me the trouble of fucking with that old Xbox; the dvd drive has a broken belt and it can only run games from HDD, but the drive is only 6GB.

>>420215
>that weapon size

lmfao what

>>420218
Truly an elegant weapon for a more civilized age

>>188812
>>420212
Pretty sure Metal Wolf Chaos has a secret weapon that fires sharks at people while we're at it.

>>188808
The Moonie Bigsword is a really cool concept in terms of being a company cameo thing that shows up in all the different games they work on over the years.
Like its better than if it was a reoccurring character mascot cameo.

>>419624
This makes me think.

In jrpgs it often would make much more sense that you just 'upgrade' the characters starting weapon through game mechanics to keep it useful as you grind up, instead of buying random generic weapons in stores/finding random weapons in dungeons that so happen to be increasingly strong.
This specifically would make the most sense in games where the character's starting weapon is supposed to be special or have meaning to them and thus they wouldn't just drop it for some random weapon.

>>421138
That doesn't make sense realistically though, a sword made out of better materials will perform better than a generic one you start with. Only difference is that you may need a short while of practice to get used to the weight of the old one.
I mean in JRPG terms where the sword is made out of the kidney stone of jesus and buddha and has a level 128 demon sealed inside, sure, then you can level it up. But it's not like, if you make enough kills with a PK7 it will evolve into a Desert Eagle.

Regardless, there are some games that allow you to upgrade weapons. Disgaea series comes to mind.

>>188808
>>420727
What's the Moonlight Greatsword like in Elden Ring?

>Not very often the starting weapon isn't just useful, but one of the very best in the game.
What other times is that the case? The pistol you get at the beginning in the original Halo?

>>422241
Halo is the only one I can think of.

>>422243
Original post was about the plasma cutter from Dead Space. Dunno how I fucked up linking to it before >>188857

The Halo pistol and the plasma cutter are the two most prominent examples. Maybe the Drill from Bioshock 2 could fit alongside them?

>>422245
Does the fist in Doom count? If you grab a berserk pack, it's as strong as a rocket launcher for the remainder of the level.
The Shotgun is a tier 2 weapon but it remains your primary gun for the rest of the game (not counting Doom 2).

Skeletons in HOMM3 are also your lowest tier units for Necromancers, but they remain your primary attackers due to how many of them you can get due to the necromancy powers.

>>422246
Fists might not count, since that's all the Berserk pack as a powerup.

I really like the Runetracer from Vampire Survivors
https://vampire-survivors.fandom.com/wiki/Runetracer

Also the King Bible
https://vampire-survivors.fandom.com/wiki/King_Bible

There were weapons I would previously gravitate to in my first few hours of experience playing the game such as the Lightning Ring or general-purpose weapons I'll usually pick to fill up the other multiple remaining slots such as the Axe but now the two above-linked weapons are ones I feel comfiest when I have them (and of course their evolved versions) to hand.

I'm sad the cast in the upcoming Saints Row reboot look so incredibly obnoxious, otherwise would have been interested in playing it.

Just look at this shit
SAINTS ROW (2022) - ENDING | Love Shack Karaoke (PS5 4K 60FPS)
And these lameass 'gang members' as the protagonists, Shaundi would be given these brats wedges even back as a hippy stoner.

>>420584
I hated the destructible weapon bullshit in Breath of the Wild, would rather have just had the one sword all the way through.

>GoldenEye’s remote mines
Why the remote mines and not say the proximity mines?
With the proxi you could pull a trick in multiplayer of grabbing an ammo or weapon pickup then immediately throwing down a mine, which would be covered up by the thing respawning and providing the perfect bait.
Just had to be careful not to forget you set the trap.

>>423680
the car in the background taking out the traffic lamp was hilarious enough, but that shark came out of nowhere. Is this an actual shark-summon-gun in the game?

>>423681
Yes, Saints Row is no stranger to ridiculous weapons. They had the dubstep gun also mentioned in the thread..

>>188807
Doom 2 Super Shotgun

Is there a game where you design your own weapons, and not just say follow a crafting recipe to make a higher tier sword or gun but instead get to create freeform weapons for your character and add all sorts of traits and abilities to differ what kind of weapon you make and how it functions.

There should be a game like that, with it as the primary gimmick and letting players go nuts with it as they go through the game.

Metal Wolf Chaos's Special Weapons - Lotus Prince Presents

>>424562
Laptop Gun was the best weapon in Perfect Dark.

Either that or the sniper rifle that shoots through walls and has Xray vision.

>>424671
Postal one is an obvious shitpost by the game

>>424672
But was this intentionally stupid or a fuckup?

How do people feel about joke weapons when the joke is just that they are shit?
Not like some of the examples in this thread where the weapon is wacky or silly but also effective, more like getting a literal toy to use that only deals 1 damage on hit.

>>423626
>Sexual Assault Rifle
That is such a fun pun.

When was the last time you saw a really fun original weapon in a videogame?
I'm getting old, burned out and have the brain problems, can't answer my own question.

>>433159
Turok 2 had alot of weapons, but can't really recall any of the others outside of the Bore and the Tekbow.
There was the sci-fantasy laser nuke thing that you had to collect the multiple parts of throughout the game to assemble it and that's all.
