I have noticed that in video games that there are always the common sets of weapons that are seen in any video game, while it is commonly seen by all gamers it is the ones we see as pop-culture weapons. We may enjoy this arsenal as the ?weapons of choice? in any zombie scenario or post apocalyptic landscape. Let me explain in the beginning of any fps or survival horror you?ll always start off with the pity pistol, usually a 9mm Beretta. Then later on you?ll find a Remington 12-gauge shotgun, then soon or later you?ll find the machine gun usually an MP5 or an Uzi respectively. Then the Grenade Launcher; the weapon that makes a big boom and tons of damage; but you cannot use it up close and is usually your area of effect weapon. Then you?ll no doubt get your hands on the military battle rifle, the usual AK47 or the M16, etc. The Battle rifle is you?re all purpose gun for mid range sniping or close combat killing it is your mediocre gun.
Then comes the dirty harry Revolver, a powerful six-gun that makes enemies die in one hit, as this revolver is so powerful and the bullets are so rare it can only be used in boss fights. The revolver is super accurate and it?s a last resort weapon if you truly want that sucker to go down.
Then comes the usual elemental weapon the Flamethrower or Freezethower whatever you like, these guys can torch or freeze your opponent in a dazzling display of barbecue or shattering effects for epic lols.
Then the far ranged sniper rifle, this will grantee a one shot kill, as a mile away head-shot will make sure that the enemy will never see you coming; its accuracy for far ranged kills are unmatched and the sniper is one of the most powerful weapons at your disposal.
So you got this arsenal then you get the beautiful rip-you-a-new-one Rocket Launcher, is pure raw power that will decimate anything in its path; its explosive kill ratio puts the grenade launcher to shame. The Rocket launcher, Sniper rifle, and the revolver are your boss killers.
So is this cliche? Are we the gamers getting tired of this weapon set we commonly see or do we need some new weapons to the fold to make it exciting? What makes them so overly used ? Are gamers getting tired of these weapons or just used to seeing old friends?
