Gimme a game where I can manually sheathe and unsheathe my sword.

Feels damn good.

Shout out to Ghost of and Nioh series.

That is all.

Witcher 3 made it a mechanic on certain settings where you needed to unsheathe the correct sword or you'd basically do no damage.

I play sheathe the sword every night with my wife. It is lovely indeed.

I knew this was coming.

 

[kiphalfton]

I like sheathing my sword too.

Yeah he gets it out she tells him to fuck off and put it away. Every night.

Get Crimson Desert then, it has TWO sheathe animations one for single tap and a cooler one with double tap

OP what's better to you in games, holstering a gun or sheathing a sword?

Asking because you have a Snake avatar.

 

[Gonzito]

Same here

Crimson Desert has this option as well if you double tap the seathe button

Jedi Knight games on PC let you manually switch on/off your lightsaber.
And if you attack while the saber is off it will activate with the more aggressive sound effect.

Tried to find a good "sheathing sword in game" gif and this is the best I could find:

Samurai Warrior had this 40 years ago or so and it was a cool gameplay feature. You could choose to unsheath your sword and npcs would react to it contextually.

Soul Edge/Calibur series ...

 

[IntentionalPun]

Isn't that mostly the norm? I guess I play a lot of Bethesda RPGs.

 

[Hudo]

I remember that in Gothic 1 when you ran around people with your sword unsheathed, they would freak the fuck out and tell you to put your sword away. Especially the guards would draw their weapons as well and tell you to fuck off.

lol, people should get accustomed to the incoming "you can do this on Crimson Desert" posts over the next months years

 

[Red-Dead-Ocelot]

It was very satisfying in Ghost of Yotei

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yeah love that, and really missed it in Elden Ring.

Now I'm wondering if anyone has ever made a real life sword sheath that makes a gasp/moan/whimper noise when you sheath a sword in it. Searching brings no joy, the AI recommends "fartbags" but thats more an after a series of particularly forceful sheathings sort of event.

Anyway yes, its enjoyable to do it on command, and I particularly liked the way it worked in LoZ:TP where you had to time it with the enemies exploding to make it happen.

sheathing, jumping, and rolling.

3 things I never stop doing in games
