Weapons too seldomly used

[Canid117]

The fists of Chuck Norris! Fuck game balance!

 

[bubba145]

bayonets are underused. as well as sabers.

 

[YoBadMama]

Plastic bags, a great stealth weapon.

(I think Manhunt has plastic bags, I dunno)

I think that blunt instruments in general are underused as weapons, everything is way too sharp. It doesn't necessarily have to be obscure weapons, just let me violently mash somethings face in for once, the catharsis is occasionally refreshing.

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.

I'm pretty sure Viking Battle for Asgard let your main character use a battle ax for his primary weapon.

Okay, I said the wrong thing, sorry. I meant a two-hander, like a greataxe. My bad.

bayonets are underused. as well as sabers.

Problem: ones you take off a bayonet you have a knife.

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!

Are you suggesting there be a game where you play Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson?

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.

Age of Chivalry. A mod or SOurce engine.
It has Chain and Mace.

 

[R4ptur3]

you rarely see cutlasses or lances, so yeah, them.

The arms of the recently deceased. They're great clubbing weapons, or so I've heard from very reliable sources. Seems like they're unrepresented in most pieces of fiction.

 

[Bonecrusher]

Actually, for console players Whip is a common used weapon. (whip, or whip-like weapons)
Many platform games use this weapon to give their players a tool for swinging and killing monsters with close combat.
Games like Castlevania, God Of War, Darksiders, Bionic Commando...

Whips are a common utility or secondary/tertiary weapon. Rarely a primary weapon.

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines actually does. The best part is there is a certain power where you can have someone explode. You can pick up their (severed) arm and use it as a weapon. They aren't all that good but still hilarious.

 

[KissofKetchup]

Flamethrowers.
I'm still waiting for a game that can accurately and realistically depict a flamethrower in action

 

[Jane-Doe44]

Bow and Arrow
Hunting Knife
Taser

 

[Futurenerd]

Flamethrowers.

And you will wait for a while, because unless you're using them against the Colossi, whoever makes the game they appear in is basically saying "F*ck balance"

That's actually pretty awesome, I must admit. Definitely sounds like a game I should try.

Pickaxe, I would love to have a pickaxe as a weapon kind of like Sergei from Black Ops because I find that would be pretty cool.
