Silly game weapons

[McPulse]

40k Fluff describes necron gauss guns as being like disintegration rays or something. I guess that they figured that calling it them disintegrators would be too logical so they randomly grabbed around for something that sounded cool.

Well, if you get liquification on the projectiles under acceleration, they might strip flesh from bones in a molten-metal-shotgun kind of way, but since these are undead robots, I think it's safe to say science cashed its' check and left a long time ago.

The Experimental MIRV.

It was just so stupid, there's only one mini nuke in the launcher yet somehow eight nukes are launched?

The Rock-it launcher is also stupid as some of the things that can be fire don't even look like they'll fit through the entry or exit, and how do all those objects fit together in the gun anyway?

Then there's the railway rifle where one spike is loaded and somehow multiplies.

Saints Row the Third has a giant dildo duct taped onto a large metal rod.

...So that's fun.

in what way is that overengineered. and i think it would work. mainly because of the bigass metal rod...
OT: Cloud Strife's sword from FFVII. rule of thumb: if your sword is that big, you better be driving a mech of some form. in fact, any sword that is that massive.

I never said it was over-engineered. But the title of this topic was "Silly game weapons" and that's the first one that came into my head.

Are we going silly good or silly bad?
Silly good would have to be anything from the Deadrising games

Silly bad would have to be anything from a JRPG

Boom.

I'm going to say the Gauss Flayers from Dawn of War Dark Crusade. I mean, they shoot green lightning instead of highspeed projectiles! Who looked up Gauss weaponry and thought "You know what this needs LIGHTNING!"

That's the daft background from the tabletop games rearing its stupid head. 40k Fluff describes necron gauss guns as being like disintegration rays or something. I guess that they figured that calling it them disintegrators would be too logical so they randomly grabbed around for something that sounded cool.

Also - because 40k fluff is the best fluff ever to have logical conversations about - the lore kinda says that the Necrons have...well....
It basically says that they managed to break science.
They don't gotta explain shit.

OT: I'm gonna have to go for the 'classic 2D fighter' approach and say either Order Sol's fucking huge hunk of granite that might be a sword.

Or the Queen of traps, Bridget himself, with those satanic, multipurpose bladed yoyos and a teddy bear named Roger - according to official canon.

Holy massive screen resolution batman....hell - be thankful. It took me a good three minutes to find a good, sfw image of him/her.

I really should have phrased the subject better, I keep getting silly weapons but not over engineered or just badly designed weapons like I was hoping for

 

[Qitz]

The Bubble Blaster from Just Cause 2. Can't do any damage, still gets guards after you but is still fun to mess with.

Also there's Halo's Scarab Gun. WoW's fish daggers too.

 

[DasDestroyer]

The Gauss Rifle from FO3 Operation: Anchorage. Shouldn't Gauss rifles be silent? Also, why the fuck does it launch something resembling a blue fireball?? It's supposed to be a simple bullet!!!!
What is this I don't even...

[JustOrdinary]

Not strictly usable as a weapon per se, but the dog launcher from FF8 was pretty fucking ridiculous.

 

[Biodeamon]

Mr. Toots.

It`s like you took my little pony an d nyan cat and smashed them together. Yopu literally have a gun that shits rainbows.


Also every single game from Phantasy Star is ridiculous

 

[StrappingYoungLad]

Every shotgun in Bad Company 2 is ridiculously overpowered. I mean seriously, most of them nearly have the same range as a sub machine gun.

...That...that's how real shotguns work. They don't sent out a massive 'cloud' of pellets that totally miss anything farther than 5 feet away. They shoot a tight grouping with a pretty decent amount of accuracy. They use shotguns to shoot skeet, yanno.

problem is in bc2 people tend to use them with slugs and for some reason slugs are stupid accurate and deadly in that game, like sniper rifle deadly, one shot kill in hardcore mode

[Purkki]

Almost every TF2 weapons are silly. Fish, boxing gloves, PISS JARS! Who the hell brings those to a fight? Also, Solar gun from MGS4 or the Patriot gun from MGS3, unlimited ammo RATATATA!
