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.

>>188824 Gotta Love Saints Row and their weapons. Especially when they go all in and make a full scale replica like the DubStep Gun. Word is they make a dozen or so Penetrators for a Europe promo but most vanished into the wilds.
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.
Its not so much a specific weapon but Hilde's fighting style of wielding spear & short sword was really cool.
Might help she stands out in that the developers sat down as a group and explicitly decided "This is the single female character we specifically won't dress as a thot".
>>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?
Call me a loser nostalgia faggot weeb shit but I'll always have a place in my heart for the Buster Sword, its a sword that is big and that is good. Much better than the lameass katana Sephiroth has. Also much better than the stupid fucking sword made up of multiple other swords Cloud uses in Advent Children, that movie was garbage worse than fan fiction.
>>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.
Its cool when the MCs in JRPGs still use proper real life weapons but not a boring old sword. Suikoden has a few examples of that like the first game its a Staff and the protagonist in the second game its Tonfas. Nice to have a bit of variety in these things.
Always thought the Volnutt secondary weapons which turned your other arm into a giant cannon/bazooka were the coolest looking. Even if it wasn't all that hard to render them obsolete by upgrading the megabuster (alot of the sub-weapons had that problem in MML honestly).
>>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.
Been playing alot of Sunset Overdrive recently. It has a number of interesting & unusual guns (and different weapons shine in various situations so you want to have a variety in your weapon wheel) but in my heart nothing beats the style and power of carrying around this monster of a revolver you get early on.
Is useful throughout the game when it comes to downing big targets.
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.
>>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.
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.
