Bring back the bola
>>340396835
Bolas and nets were OP as fuck in Age of Decadence.
>>340396835
>massive metal bola
You'd need to be Hercules to throw that properly.
Never Alone made use of these iirc
>>340397759
>>massive
Well maybe my scale's all off but that looks to be like 2 feet long at most to me.
sabers
cutlasses
pole weapons like halberds, bardiches, naginata
greatmaces
flails
spears
thrown weapons like tomahawks, boomerangs, firebombs
honestly almost every pre-industrial weapon hasnt been done well
>the bola
the name is too close to ebola, which will cause a huge triggering among basketball-americans because of their senpai from another land
>>340396835
Chemicals that doesn't turn people in to zombies.
Just fucking mustard gas or some fucking shit like that.
>>340398232
>>340397759
It's a prop from the Scorpion King so don't expect realism.
However bolas are easy to throw because once you get them up to speed the weighted balls themselves do most of the rotational force and the force isn't being applied to you
>>340396835
from a technical point of view how hard would it be to implement bolas as there is the physics of the bolas and its effects on the enemy
>>340398554
I expect it to just be
>Check if bolas made contact
>Bind enemy if true
Otherwise you're talking about building an entire game around bola physics where it would be the only weapon
>>340398554
not that hard
skyrim could do it well enough
bows already have varying distances depending on how far you draw back
and paralysis/knockback is already in the game
and reikling spears are consumable thrown items
so just have it be like a reikling spear with a bow's mechanics with a paralysis enchantment
>>340396835
>From the shadows, a kobold!
>The kobold throws a set of bolas at you, brutalizing you!
>You die...
>>340398408
We need more games were you can be an alchemist mixing chemicals and concoctions to kill people. Screw helping someone with potions. I want to smash a jar of liquid death on some poor soul's head.

I've honestly noticed a problem with realizing short-range projectiles in videogames.
The boomerang is a too common example, but only kind of operates on the mythology of the boomerang since hitting stuff always ruins a flight path, and those returning boomerangs aren't designed for hunting and by extension combat.
Throwing knives and shurikens have a tendency to be thrown up to 10 at a time, and despite that never seem to be a major damage source when any other option exists.
Slings, well their problem is that they are treated like a short range weapon. With less impact than a bow, higher miss chance, or just a very long windup. When they're actually a long ranged weapon, that required only one rotation before launching, and with variance in stone weight usually hit harder though not penetrating as much as an arrow have been documented to kill armored warhorses in one hit.
While there's been javelins and throwing spears often enough, I have never seen an atlatl which about doubles the force a person can throw with.
>>340398554
>physics
Just projectile that shit in a straight line. Hold button to charge, release to throw. Amount of time you charged translate into speed and distance traveled. Maybe do some clause so that enemy types only gets affected if bola has specific speed threshold to balance it.

Good thing I got here in time to fix this disgusting transgression

do you have any idea how hard it is to tell which version i posted without actually opening the image
>>340400061
Good job, Anon.
I have to say that even if mines are present in shooters: there's not enough area denial weaponry in tactics games for my tastes.
>>340400438
I bet you could defeat caltrops by shuffling
>>340401312
If they're on soft ground they'll sink in and remain a hazard.
If they're on a flat solid surface then it'll work much better. But it's still a disadvantage to an attacker because even if that doesn't injure them, it'll slow their advance.
Bring backebola-chan
>>340401312
movement denial would be interesting in a fps or strategy games as you can't sprint or you'll hurt yourself
>>340396835
games from ~2000 had lots of varied weapons and game play dynamics, but after ~06 graphics became the almost exclusive means developers innovated.

Such a cool weapon. I'd love to learn how to use one.
Baseball bat with nails. It's such a cool looking, simple weapon yet so underrated.

Halberds shit all over them fucking cock sucking fairy homo faggot.
The falx
>>340400438
Recent games I can think of:
Mortal Combat X
La Mulana (I mean it's getting a sequel soon)
They do need more love though
Katana
>>340402396
That is literally the black knight halberd. Miyazaki is a fucking hack
>>340398320
This guy pretty much hit the nail on the head. Every game seems to just be maces/long swords/Great swords/katanas.
Ark added bolas to imobalize players and small dinos
There adding a large metal bola that can be fired from a balista to snare large dinos
>>340402905
>going into battle with something so tacky
>>340398662
>Otherwise you're talking about building an entire game around bola physics where it would be the only weapon
that sounds like it could be pretty sick if done well
>>340402843
Next you're gonna tell me there's a spear copycat in that game with a different name. Oh the blasphemy...
LMAO at you nerds posting some nerd ass meile sticks and prehistoric weapons and shit instead of some real nigga weapon like AK47 or somthin
>>340397593
They were also OP as fuck in the Jurassic Park Snes game
Bullshit African Throwing Knifes
>>340404201

There is bolas in Age of Decadence, one of the best throwing weapons too.

Bolas were fucking scary in Nosgoth.
I've always been a sucker for club weaponry.
>No modern game does a real flail complete with physics
>No Morning Stars
>No Aklys
>No Mere
I also recall Runescape doing Blackjacks/Coshes, another underappreciated club, but that's not exactly a modern game.
>>340396835
Catwoman uses them in the Arkham games.
>>340405431
But real flails were fucking boring.
Shield with a gun in it.
>>340404957
World's first keyblade
>>340403910
First thing that came to mind was shooting raptors with them in this.
Sais
Nunchuks
Martial arts outside of fighting games
The Katar.
Only three games have given it proper use outside of being a novelty dagger or a shitty hidden weapon.
You can slash really good with it and it's a fantastic thrusting weapon, it feels like a natural extension of your arm and uses the whole energy of your swing.
Too bad only Ragnarok Online gives it the love it deserves.
>>340404957
T E T S U B O
Fucking fists
Why are fists always so wimpy in games, I want to run around smashing people to bits Star Platinum style, not hitting them like wet paper towels
>>340406021
There are tons of games that are all about fighting with your fists, probably more than there are about literally any other type of weapon. What the fuck are you smoking?
>>340405984
>outside of being a novelty dagger or a shitty hidden weapon.
Isn't that pretty much what it is ? It seems just like a punching dagger.
>>340404957
you're mom's prostate massager lmfao
>>340406021
Go play Asura's Wrath.
>>340406219
It is used mostly for thrusting, but if it's sharp enough it can also be used for slashing. All it needs is a longer blade.
>>340406021
Exanima has fist fights in the arena now
>>340406392
>All it needs is a longer blade.
Then why not just use a longer blade, seems like a really pointless weapon
>>340396835
Last time I saw bolas in a game was in A Dark Room.
>>340404924
too big
Swallow/Twinblade
Outside of Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy 9, I don't know any games that have them. I guess Dark Souls 2 had them, but they were ass.
>>340406813
dynasty warriors my friend
>>340406392
>All it needs is a longer blade
So something like this?
>>340406510
>tfw you fight naked for fist fights
>first move is to wait for your opponent to move and immediately step in with a heavy punch
>tfw broken jaw in one hit
the best way to regenerate health after you get gang fucked in a fray is to just do loads of pugilisms and 1-2 shot all your opponents
>>340406392
A katar is a punch dagger
What you want is a pata
>>340396835
When it comes to real weapons I would like to see more flails.
But I'd love to see more organic pet weapons.
>>340406392
>All it needs is a longer blade.
Like a Pata?
>>340407510
Forgot the fucking picture
>>340396835
the bolas is an absolutely savage combat utility in Age of Decadence, even better than throwing nets
>>340396835
Is there a single videogame that includes a bestknifeever known to mankind?
>>340407727
thats a sword, not a knife youmesser

>>340404301
lewd
>>340409061
That sheath doesn't look like it can actually fit on.
Has any game ever utilised trench spikes/knives?
>>340409176
It's probably open on the side, not just on the bottom.
All it really needs to do is protect the edge anyway.
