Weapons that should exist in games but don't

[Xerthach]

Just because.

In a superhero game, when you punch someone.

Superhero game!? That's my toilet after eating some Indian..

Ooooooh.. There's a good weapon: Ben Stiller with a tube down his throat, leading to a vat of extremely spicy Indian curry..

A gun that shoots out little fluffy cats.

Cat launcher! Just like in Family Guy!

A gun. That shoots. CAKE!

THE CAKE IS A LIE! It can shoot lies instead.

It could also shoot jokes so funny that people die laughing. Plus i refuse to believe the cake is a lie. I'll draw my own cake and eat that and pretend it tastes like the real thing, because its so delicious and moist.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

OH OH OH A GUN THAT SHOOTS DOGS THAT BARK BEES.

Haha, monty burns has them!

 

[ZonerZ]

the cat launcher is absolutely neccessary.

I think L4D needed melee weapons (fire axes, machetes, anything really). That would have made a great game even better.

How about a net-caster, like the one the Predators carry? Lets you pin your enemies to the wall, then you can walk up and gut them at your leisure.

 

[Phase_9]

Angry wombat launcher.

 

[orangebandguy]

A gun that turns people into lemons. Quite literally they would explode into hundreds of lemons.

 

[Alzabane]

for "insert any first person shoter here" a sniper that shoots a machine gun which shoots a shotgun which shots a flame thrower which shoots flaming machetes, the only downside is that it takes forever to fire and reload as you have to collect the weapons again

 

[Kogarian]

Holy Hand Grenade Launcher. Ah yeah.

 

[Kogarian]

Angry wombat launcher.

My god, that's built of pure awesomeness.

 

[WittyName]

a guitar solo concentrated to a weaponized level

That would be kick-ass!

 

[ZonerZ]

dunno if this was said yet, but what about a sniper rifle that shoots magnetic bullets? Fire into a heavily armored unit and you don't even have to aim to load the jerk full of lead with your sidearm.

The big beam cannons from Freespace 2. Those were the weapons that truly justified flying huge capital ships in space flight simulators (not that you could ever fly anything bigger than a bomber in the game but it's great that it had it those weapons nonetheless). Watching the energy build up on the turret thinking 'ooooohh SHIIIT!!' before it lashed out and carved opponents into space junk before you could say 'shields up'. This also made taking them on in fighters intense because at any moment, you could get one of their anti-fighter beams right in your cockpit!

And yet every game since then has been hell bent on leaving those beam cannons out. The worst i've played being X3, which has replaced those sinister, pants-wetting, over-the-top lances of destruction with high-powered dribbles of piss that take 10 shitting minutes to hit the target that's already long gone! Not to mention that you could destroy your target and his stream of ionised piss will STILL be coming towards you even after the fireworks have finished!

 

[SAccharing10]

Definitely a gun that shoots shurikens and ligh, oh wait.

 

[adman]

Alot of peoples weapons seemed to be two really good ones mashed together :/

 

[ZonerZ]

A shotgun that shoots rape.

I win.

I'm not sure about games in general. But I do know of a gun I would include in 1 game and that is the BFG from the movie Doom there was a BFG in Doom 3 but it wasn't able to melt through walls like the one in the film was. To have a gun that could melt through walls would be just amazing as you would no longer have to go where the game tells you but make your own way by melting the walls.

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

I think that what you should have is a gun that fires all kinds of munitions mentioned in this thread as well as several others that are beyond the realm of human imagination.
