Favorite video game weapons?

What are some of your favorite weapons in video games, whether they be crossbows, swords or assault rifles and why are they your favorites?

Pokemon can be classified as a "weapon" no? If not... hmm hard choice. Answer is largely game specific but if I had to pick a "weapon" to rule all others, I'd have to go with this:

Spoiler:
Imperial Navy, including a certain "SuperWeapon"

I dont think a creature can be classified as a weapon tbh :b

The Skyhook in Bioshock Infinite. God I love any chance to use it. I'll adopt a melee strategy to use it more. And the Charge Vigor is my favorite simply due to it utilizing the Skyhook.

Tesla Gun from RTCW

Interesting, for me it is the scattergun from team fortress 2.
I like how it is so different from the shotgun.

The root beer in Monkey Island

The Four Sword in LoZ. It's better than the overrated Master Sword because not only can it banish evil but can also create three useful clones of the wielder.

idk if I could pick a single weapon, or even a single kind of weapon, too much fun stuff to play with =(

but at the very least I think that I like things that pack a big punch in one hit

Like, in Dark Souls, no other weapons have felt so good to me in that series as the Dark Souls 2 Greatsword and the Dark Souls 3 Dragonslayer Greataxe do. Carnifex and (Black) Widow are my preferred handgun and sniper rifle in Mass Effect trilogy. Kind of always preferred sneak attacks with bows and daggers in Oblivion/Skyrim.

and so on

edit: y'know, I think I have a thing for magic too now that I think about it

Personally I'm a huge fan of sniper rifles in most video games, always got to like them due to how most of the snipers I've gotten to use in video games have always looked so nice, real weapons or fictional ones.

Like in Destiny, the Y-09 Longbow Synthesis had to be one of the coolest looking snipers, the full blue body with some red tints made it stand out and has been the sniper of choice in that game, also cause it had quite the punch to it.

But for a game like Terraria I absolutely adore the Fiery Greatsword as it looks like a sword made from flames.

Fists.

Give me fists.

EVERY GAME NEEDS FISTS.

I'm dead serious, I love any game that has an emphasis on weapons but adds in close-ranged as a combat option, especially when it's functional and moreso when the game has perks or skills to supplement it. It's often a hell of a lot of fun and, really, I wish it was in every game. It just makes sense.

any great sword from monster hunter tbh

DeandreR May 28th, 2018 4:38 AM

I love two-handed swords in games. They don't have to be realistic, but I don't like the comically huge and overblown swords.

I don't really have favourites, now that I try to think of my preferred weapons in games - I don't gravitate towards anything in particular and can enjoy ranged or close combat, slower, heavier weapons or quick daggers.

The only preference I can really think of is in L4D, I'll always pick a weapon with higher ammunition capacity because my aim is so awful regardless of power, I can't work with shotguns at all.

Speaking of Terraria though, I just started playing recently and instantly gravitated towards the bard class because the weapons are so silly. I believe we are currently using Infernal Piccolos.

I should probably mention that those are exclusive to the Thorium mod on Terraria. They aren't in the base game.

Anyways, I always like it when games include easy-to-use bows. They make stealth approaches to combat really fun for me.

oh god not the bards

Pretty much every weapon in Splatoon and its sequel.

Nah May 31st, 2018 12:00 PM

I got Bloodborne a few days ago, and it's pretty cool how a lot of the weapons can change/turn into another weapon. It's not something I think that a lot of games have ever done. I like the axe I chose at the beginning of the game, it's nice how it can switch between a one-handed battle axe and a two-handed poleaxe.

Bloodborne's weapons are amazing. There are so many unique things that you can play around with, especially with the weapons from the DLC.

What about the Space Dolphin Machine Gun in Terraria? I mean, come on, it's a bullet shooting space dolphin. q~q

i have never used the SDMG at all, it never dropped for me so I was stuck with the Vortex Beater

Neronaya June 3rd, 2018 5:05 AM

This is going to sound so basic but I LOVE ridiculously huge weapons... final fantasy style. The buster sword and masamune. Absolute legends

Lunar June 3rd, 2018 5:08 AM

There's so many weapons to choose from that I would really struggle to pick an individual type to be honest, but I love using bows in videos games and have for quite a while, so I'd have to go with them!

The Thunder Beam from the first Mega Man game.
