Shotgun in Doom, Pistol in Halo CE

 

[Lux R7]

I agree with a lot of answers, i'll say the shotgun from Soldier of Fortune and the rocket launcher from Unreal Tournament

 

[nkarafo]

Because it was the first.

The only possible answer.

Edit: Way better than the Super.

DOOM still has the best looking and sounding shotguns in gaming. Even the reload animations haven't been surpassed yet. They have the correct animation, speed and amount of energy.

 

[Bavarian_Sloth]

Flamethrower, Return to Castle Wolfenstein

 

[Cyberpunkd]

 

[shiru]

Metal Slug OT

Also both og Doom shotguns, The yo-yo and Hammer ability from Kirby Super Star, Super Castlevania IV whip, Resident Evil 4 Striker.

 

[darth.shrimp]

That's not a gravity gun.

THIS is a gravity gun:

Was about to post that, so... I'll add this one:

 

[AlphaDump]

FEAR stake gun that nails people to walls.

Soldier of Fortune 1/2 Desert Eagle

DOOM shotgun because of course

Prodeus quadshotgun and chaingun are awesome recent contenders imo

 

[gaming_again]

The rail gun in Quake 3 is probably the most satisfying video game gun I've used. When you achieve some mastery in it nothing compares to lining up a shot with it - especially when you're at the apex of a jump.

The buster sword in ff7 blew my mind when I was 14, I'd never see anything like it before.

Lately I like the ruins greatsword and the misericorde in Elden Ring a lot.

 

[TheShocker]

Oh man, revving up the lancer in gears of war for the first time. Still one of my favorites.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Love the feel, power and sound of this thing.

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Flak Cannon from UT(99). So damn good.

 

[SkylineRKR]

shock rifle was my jam. I was a top player in 2000. I used fws (fast weapon switch, bind throw and move forward on 1 button) and switched from shock rifle to close range when needed. shock combos could be trained in practice, tried them while strafing, turning, jumping etc until it became sort of muscle memory. Won me lots of matches.

 

[DelireMan7]

I always sucked at pulling it off.

Can't believe epic won't finish a new unreal tournament. Cunts.

It was my favorite weapon, I got quite decent at pulling it. Like Secondary shot, side dash, Primary shot and BOOM ! Kill ! So satisfying.

Actually, I played a lot (I mean a LOT) of UT99 but I didn't like the 2003 and later versions. It missed the "punch" of the original one. And I think I really like the graphics from the original (and a lot of nostalgia is involved here)

 

[SmokedMeat]

Elden Ring Ruins Greatsword felt sooooo satisfying.

 

[Banjo64]

Battle Rifle;

Lancer;

Also, show me a more iconic sniper rifle. I'll wait.

I know what you mean, I migrated to 2003 but it was gritty, skins were harder to see. Shock, rocket etc felt weaker. Sniper was nerfed which was a good thing probably since the OG fired like every half a second without much kickback. Wall dashes were probably nice but the overall pace felt more sluggish. 2004 was better but still based on 2003 core.

After 2 years of UT99 I only played the sequels for a month tops and then stopped playing the franchise altogether.

 

[DelireMan7]

Elden Ring Ruins Greatsword felt sooooo satisfying.

Good one.

I like its elder sister from Dark Souls : Dragon Greatsword


That special 2 handed R2, always get me.

 

[Haggard]

The Shrink Ray from Duke Nukem. Especially in multiplayer.

You sum up perfectly my experience. Me and my brother (he pulled me into UT99) were super excited for UT2003. But after playing it we were like "mehh". Like you, we played it for a bit but quickly returned to UT99.

 

[Wildebeest]

Gravity Gun in HL2 death match was quite something. Absolutely perfectly balanced weapon for competitive gaming.

 

[poppabk]

The hand cannon in action quake 2. Double barreled sawn off shotgun that would blast people 10 feet in the air. So satisfying.

 

[ikbalCO]

Rivers of blood from elden ring.

I personally refer to her as bitch slayer due to her accomplishment against malenia.

 

[zcaa0g]

BFG in DOOM, mini nuke in UT, and the cannon in Serious Sam.

 

[Mr Branding]

Blades of Chaos are still unmatched for me after all this time. Best feeling weapon in a melee combat system by far, be it the old games or the new ones.

 

[anothertech]

This sword right here.

Perfect in every way.
Hold R1 and it's a Heavy.

Hold L1 and you have chain whips.

Just button mash and it's a dual blade.

Fucking perfect.

 

[OZ9000]

SSG + BFG. Nuff said.

 

[poppabk]

Any pump action shotgun in a VR FPS. There is something about doing the pump action physically that is so satisfying.

 

[harry mason 1989]

 

[k_trout]

having just finished Alian isolation VR, I have to say the flame thrower, removed so much stress from the situation

 

[NiiloPielinen]

Elden Ring Ruins Greatsword felt sooooo satisfying.

Best defense is the best offense

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I automatically gravitate towards shotguns and flamethrowers is most games.
But to get more specific the hammer in MH probably has the mosy satisfying impacts of all time.

The chain chomp in bayo 2 is probably the most actual fun I've ever had with a weapon though

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Dubstep gun in Saint's Row.

 

[Inuteu]

Shotgun in Last of us 2

Put infinite ammo on that baby and have fun

 

[Arachnid]

Pizza time!

And here I was about to come in here with a picture of the Master Sword.

You put me in my god damn place.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

Look no further.

 

[BlackProdigy]

Lancer

 

[Sub_Level]

Okay, so allow me to break this down pray tell, the double barrel shotgun in Doom has always been one of my favourites,

No offense to the other posts in this thread but you already gave the best answer in the first sentence of your OP.

 

[Jebron]

The Gloo Cannon in Prey is one of my favorites.

 

[AlteredForms]

[RayBoy]

Voodoo doll from Blood

[DeepEnigma]

Rivers of blood from elden ring.

Is this similar to the Chikage in Bloodborne?

 

[brian0057]

For me, it's a tie between the Rail Gun from Quake 2 and the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2.

 

[Handel]

FEAR THE PINK MIST!

Needler from Halo series, for those who somehow don't know.

Never has such a powerful weapon felt so wimpy.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Twilight Princess - The Spinner, for the whole one fight and four puzzles it's used. Cool concept, under baked execution.

Perfect Dark 64 - Farsight is cool, if broken. Cyclone is like...it doesn't really DO anything special, but the normal shit it does just LOOKS cool. Also, magazine discharge.

Dead Space - In the context of the universe, seeing in-over-his-head engineer Isaac Clarke eventually pick up a Pulse Rifle is. In a game of unconventional weaponry, having just a dead ass gun in the mix itself MAKES it an unconventional choice amongst an already unconventional roster.

Advent Children- Cloud's Fusion Blades/First Tsurugi. I like it because it's cool. Bite me.

 

[Mephisto40]

How has nobody mentioned the ULTIMATE WEAPON!
