Energy weapons or ballistic weapons?
>retarded and shitty weapon designs vs actual guns
which one do you think
>>340892157
Human projectile weapons are more effective against Goa'uld technology.
>>340892157
Imagine trying to hold or heaven forbid even firing one of those.
>>340892157
Did they fix the ash/goo never disappearing?
If they do that maybe I will.
>>340892157
>either no damage or some damage in half an hour, once the projectile gets there
ballistic

>energy weapons or ballistic weapons?
EXPLOSIONS
lasers are best
instant fire, no bullet drop, unaffected by wind etc etc
>>340892157
Railgun.
BARE FISTS.
Laser master race

Good luck in foggy or dusty conditions
This thing is a big, fat, ugly slab of metal...but I still love it.
>>340892157
Energy. Fuck have some fun with the builds. New Vegas did guns so much better than bethesda. I like having both

Energy weapons are the civilized man's weapon of choice

Energy weapons were pretty poor in NV. Don't know what you're talkin bout.

What are some games that have alien guns that actually feel alien and esoteric rather then just "human guns with a slightly different visual design that shooters lasers instead of bullets"
The needler in halo is the only one I know of.
>>340909467
Half Life and Opposing Force
>>340910553
Mind giving some specific gun examples?
I know some of the half life games essentially just have alien organisms you pick up and use as weapons but unless the aliens themselves do and did the same I wouldn't count them.

The hivehand is a nest of violent wasp-like flying critters. It shoots the insects out at high speed and then they home in on anything organic to attack.

>>340892157
Whichever is the underdog one that people think is inferior.
>>340910930
The shockroach is an ant-like alien creature that spits electric bolts. The bolts can electrify water and kill things in it.
>>340911670
>>340911961
>>340913024
is that an actual weapon the aliens made or adopted though?
>>340910930
...aand the spore launcher is a cute larva that you feed some alien plant spores and then it spits them out as highly volatile toxic blobs.

They're genetically engineered organisms, if I remember right.
>>340913185
I think it's pretty apparent that the alien universe Xen doesn't have "technology" per se. Instead they modify biology to serve them and grow their habitats instead of building them. Those weapons might be wild Xen fauna, or genetically engineered to be weapons. They just use biology instead of technology.
>>340892157
Whatever looks like it could be a functional weapon
Ballistic all the way. Energy weapons are just too cumbersome.
>>340892157
have lasers/plasma shit/pew pew ever been actually used
i dont mean just combat, maybe testing or prototypes for future combat
that would be sick
Melee, fuck you
>>340915094
yeh that bothered me as well
why should the plasma weapons look like they were barely put together? All the surviving energy weapons were made for the god damn US MILITARY pre-war
>>340918105
Bethesda didn't know that when they made Fallout 3. Bethesda still doesn't know Fallout.

Missle killers

>DLC
>Late game weapons
Yeah, sure makes sense putting points into bad energy weapons just so it will be worth it towards the end of the game.
>>340918824
A railgun isn't an energy weapon. It uses electricity but so does a minigun.
>>340903348
>strongest weapons in the game
>special plasma rifle
>gauss rifle
>incinerator
>fucking plasma cannon you find near the crashed vertibird
I was conflicted on NV because I like ballistic weapons more than energy, but energy weapons are pretty dope.
>>340919103
Laser Rifle with both damage mods will carry you through most of the game
>>340893431
Zat guns were so overpowered in Stargate they had to make them disappear in later seasons or Atlantis
>>340914240
>>340913947
Yeah, that's what I meant, that counts then.
>>340920153
>three shots disintegrate
>realize that's stupidly OP
>quietly retcon it
>never mention it again until 200 when they joke about how stupid it would be
>>340896305
Torgue?
