ITT: We discuss our favorite weapon types.
What's your favorite weapon type, /v/? I'm such a sucker for some motherfucking fist/claw weapons. Daggers/Knives are a close second.
My comrade of martial persuasion.
Fists are my way to go with hammers being second.
>>332166808
Scythes
>>332166808
Any kind of pole weapon, mace or war hammer. Staves are pretty cool too.
>>332166808
Fuck I love me some badass, dumb, impractical fist weapons.
I also like whips, but those are a rarity and almost always suck.
Staves are my favorite standard/common weapons. Even then though I want some stupid, shiny, glowy shit with crystals that float around it.
Fuck this realistic weapon shit that is in too many fantasy games.

>GW2fags will NEVER EVER
a funny bit of trivia: the "scythe" the necro gets for its elite spec is actually programmed as (and uses the animations of) a 2handed hammer.
Katana
>>332166808
I do like doing some hardcore fisting in my games.
Spear is best

>tfw you're an unstoppable killing machine once you get a spear covered in shit
I love dual wielding. Also fencing swords, rapiers, estocs, etc.
I love spears and staves.
If a game has martial artistry using staves, I'm fucking sold. Any good ones you know about? I loved the hell out of Shaolin in 9Dragons, and rolled several staffers in DDO

>>332166808
Sword and board.
>>332168278
>>332167842
What? No it fucking doesn't, it uses the new Staff animations.
Shotguns. Love'em.
Belt-fed, /light/medium machineguns.
Or pump shotguns.
Lucernes, but any properly proportioned hammer weapon gets my love.
>>332166808
this baby right here. and shotguns for shooters
>>332166808
I love it when games give guns life in little detail, whether it's watching the pieces shake and rattle as you fire, or the game features various different reload/idle animations for the same gun. I wish developers treated guns with the same care and variety they treat melee weapons, rather than just different scales of pew.
Pic related is a genetic-ass gun.
>>332168350
well, either way, the one scythe they added to the game isnt even a real scythe. and I find that sad, and hilarious.
>>332168747
*generic, woops. Auto correct.
>tfw most games only have shitty grunts use spears
>never get to use ony myself

My motherfucking shotgun brethren. There is something so satisfying about completely blowing people/monsters away with a big ass shotgun.
I'd have to give an honorable mention to pistols though, there's something about pulling off long distance shots with a pistol that makes me feel great.
>>332167074
I miss Dervish.
>>332166808
Always loved the fuckhuge claw and fist weapons in Darksiders 2
>>332169523
My nigga. I love Darksiders and Joe Mad's inane obsession with fuck-huge ridiculous weapons, especially the claws.
>>332166808
That artstyle reminds me of Torchlight
>>332166808
Polearms, unfortunately there are barely any games that actually lets you take advantage of their strengths.
>>332166808
whatever has the highest crit rate
if we're just talking about looks, then a maul or any kind of long hammer, preferably without an oversized head
>>332166808
Waifus:
1.Greataxe
2.Bastard sword/Greatsword
3.sword/spear+shield
>>332169713
It's from Torchlight 2. You're right.
Tonfas are bae
Bows. Bigger the better. Sword + shield for close range engagements.
Im a big fan of switch axes and charge blades
I love almost all weapons as long as the design is nice.
My favourite historical weapons would be swords tho
Mace and shield, skeletonfags come at me, I'll turn you into dust.
Bastard sword as main cause heroic and versatile.
A polearm as secondary.
>>332171307
This reminds me. I fucking love it when games differentiate between longbows and short bows.

>>332168330
These are really sweet, thanks for posting them. What are they from? I love fist weapons more than anything, I wish games did punching better.
>>332166808
I've always hade a thing for Axes and Maces
>>332166808
Any sort of glove/tattoo/otherwise that lets me cast spells with my bare hands. Whether it's the pyromancy flame from dark souls or the kid icarus palms, I'm an absolute sucker for them.
Oh, and the dark shield from original dsrk souls was best shield across all games forever. That shit was so fucking cool.
>tfw no musket RPGFuck off with your Fable 3.
>>332170657
My fucking man. I can't find a single game with Tonfas, there's so much potential there.
>>332166808
Maces and Rapiers are my thing, clubs or roperas.
Simple shit really, bash and pierce. Swords are just generic, axes are meh, and don't give me katana bullshit, you want a heavy 2 handed sword, just use a Zwei, hell, its lighter.
>>332166808
I like fist weapons/daggers but WoW can't into good weapon models for them. So I'm trash (combat) rogue for life.
>>332166808
Two-handed maces or hammers when I play melee class, and if guns are available, one big hand gun
I almost never see them, but if there's a drill weapon in the game, I'm using it.
I like chakrams KoA had some, but the game was too easy and I dropped it. Anyone know any games with chakrams in them?
i know they were pretty useless irl, but naginata + over the top fighting moves is the fucking shit
>>332168184
I wouldn't have it any other way
