I was playing Castlevania: Circle of the Moon recently and it got me thinking "hmm, I don't think I have played another game where a whip was a weapon much less your primary weapon".

What weapons do you think should be used more in games? (preferably a primary one)

used search bar, didn't find anything.

Bows and arrows

or crossbows

Not explosive tip like COD: Black Ops regular arrows. Silent kills. Plus a knife.

I have never seen a mace and chain done, but someone mentioned that it might be difficult to animate? Idk it's obviously not as simple as a single solid weapon, it has many parts and if you take shortcuts it may just look like a solid weapon but i really have no idea.

A nuclear _____. I would have fits if there were more nuke weapons in games. No matter how impractical they may be.
EDIT:
Jedoro's Ulaks would also be acceptable.

Scythe! Idc if it's a "garden tool" I don't play fantasy games because they make sense. Also those ninja sickle and chain things, those are bad ass but never used.

I think that Ninja Gaiden 2 had a ball and chain. It was called something to do with the moon. It was a pretty damn good weapon too, easy to rack up combos, very fast, powerful, and it was the bloodiest weapon in the game.

A shovel. You never get to kill things with shovels. I mean, I would expect at least 1 zombie game to let me kill things with shovels, but NO.
Actually, Dead Rising lets you use shovels. They even have a special attack.

Maybe it's me, but I haven't seen many games where the main character uses a battle axe as a primary.

Also maybe a pair of wakazashi.

Too few games allow me to beat enemies into submission with a fish.
What about TF2's Holy Mackerel? The kill feed even proclaims FISH KILL! http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Holy_Mackerel

OT: More games need to let me uproot an entire tree and beat people to death with it.

I agree with you. My rouge uses a scythe in D&D for no other reason than I fucking can. Sure a greatsword has a higher average damage, but it isn't a goddamn scythe!

Ironically a Wii game is half the games I can think of where you can use a bow. Although, you don't use it to kill people.

My friend would hate for me to not mention Scythes, he has a huge hard on for scythes and feels they're underused.

I personally think that canes are underused, a good walking cane is a movement aid first and a personal defense weapon second.
Or at least that's how I feel, plus its a unique weapon used by Sly Cooper, and I love Sly Cooper and more games reminding me of it would be awesome!
