what's the most disappointing video game weapon?

[tenny20ca]

Yeah, I'd definitely have to go with all of the 'Build-It-Yourself' weapons from Fallout 3. Most of them are bad, impracticable, or just slightly stronger versions of previous weapons. Sure, you can spend all your caps making over a hundred Bottle Cap Mines with enough power to launch a Super Mutant Behemoth weightlessly into the air, but it's disappointing to see the other weapons. I mean seriously, the Dart Gun?

the dart gun is brilliant against mirelurks or anything else that need to run at you, deathclaws ect


my biggest let down was the FatMan yes launching nukes is fun i just wish the blast was bigger, more louder... the experimental MRV though, thats a weapon

I loved the Railway Rifle, the dart gun was pretty useless, take a Terrible Shotgun to the face of those Mirelurks. "And this, this is my boom stick!" -Ash:Army of Darkness

All the melee weapons in Fallout 3 are terrible. No range or damage. I started the game thinking "damn I'd love a killer sword." The Chinese Officers sword does almost no damage.
Just proves the saying "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight"

The mini gun is a pile of ass, same with the assult rifles. The spray on them is insane, even crouched and firing in short bursts. The lincoln repeater is great, just need more 44 ammo.

I disliked the pump action shotgun on Fear 2, the first one was boss, this one blew.

Sniper Rifle - Even with my repair skill at 100, the commando perk, and using V.A.T.s I could never get this thing to shoot any more accurately than the hunting rifle, in fact the hunting rifle was more accurate, deteriorated slower, and had more critical hits.

That gun is indeed mysterious, I aim for the head but the bullet hits my targets belt buckle?
And the Dragunov in CoD4 was kind of disappointing, I was expecting a lot more from my favorite sniper rifle.

The dart gun is awesome for kiting melee baddies, especially Deathclaws who just refuse to DIE.

Agreed with the melee weapons, I'de say those were my most dissapointing weapons as well. I loved my Xaulong (or something like that) Chinese Assault rifle. Good backup weapon, barely any real spread in VATS mode with all those rifle perks.

Rossmore shotgun in the Resistance games, seriously when you get it you're like, "Yeah! I'm gonna blow some ugly Chimera to pieces with this!" Then you use it and it's lacklustre and doesn't feel very satisfying.

The Chinese officers sward must be a misprint in the game, because what I used seemed to be a Chinese officers butter knife.


That being said the shishkabob (flaming sward) wasn't that bad, and even if you just grazed the enemy could set them on fire.



The mini gun I assume shot high velocity foam nerf darts, considering after 100 bullets were used on a single super mutant his health bar had twitched at best. I would expect an enemy showered with 100 bullets (even "5mm") to look like a cross between ground beef and Swiss cheese.

The Sword in MGS2. I looked forward to getting it the entire game and it sucked.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

DoW II is fresh in my mind and I can't help but think that most of the wargear you get is just a huge dissapointment. "The lost patriarch's armor of doom" - 10 armor rating and +1 energy.

"HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS POWER SWORD IT'S SO HUGE AND AMAZING!....but my old stick with thorns on it gives me much more melee damage..."

[Hunde Des Krieg]

The boomer in Gears of War. It should be so awesome, and yet, it's not.

 

[mattttherman3]

Trench Knife from Fallout 3, in fact, all of the melee wepons except the shishkebab or Jiggy Wiggy's Shocksword(not the real thing, but mine is better).

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

The Acid Shot from Earth Defense Force 2017. Its a gun that shoots fucking acid and it manages to not kill anything.

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

how about how they nerfed the sword of aeons in Fable: Lost Chapters. It was supposed to allow Jack to rule the world and it wasn't even the 4th strongest weapon in the game.

 

[Zorg Machine]

the flamethrower in halo 3 (on heroic/legendary) awesome a flamethrower (fires at flood) flood jumps out of flames and rips out your spine.

This.
And that sword in the stone... pathetic.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

The minigun in Saints row 2 was a little weak... But then again all the weapons in gta 4 wre a little boring. Thank god they added a street sweaper in tlad. (Street sweaper is a super ilegal shoot gun, full auto super acurate, makes holes the size of golf balls in people)

 

[Snoopster]

M1 Garand from cod5, It wasn't bad but after it was practically the only gun I used in an old medal of honour game, it felt pretty underpowered and left me disapointed

 

[Snoopster]

I can understand where u may be coming from but use it at the right time and it's especially satisfying in the campaign and gr8 all the time on multiplayer so long as u have at leasta smidge of skill
