Six of the Most Overpowered Weapons in Video Game History

Ray Porreca of Entertainment Buddha writes: "Plenty of video games throughout history have featured weapons that allow the player to absolutely annihilate anything in their path. These game-breakingly overpowered weapons are often a blast to use, but negate can negate any challenge that the player might have had to overcome."

The Halo god pistol. Man that was lethal.

guitarded773746d ago

Once again, another list of overpowered weapons and no Mr. Toots. Shame.

I fully expect to see this game at Xbox Showcase this year.

Tacoboto21h ago

Me too.

I expect Hellblade 2 to be the start of a consistent stream of UE5 XGS titles. It's basically their default engine, save for ForzaTech and the proprietary engines in use at Activision and Bethesda.

RaidenBlack3h ago

Really looking forward to seeing the Forzatech based Fable. Playground games has had a great track record with the Horizon series, so lets see.

purple10121h ago

I fully expected to see it released about 3 year ago, but each to their own

Lightning7719h ago(Edited 19h ago)

There's no way it would release in 2021 especially when it was announced at the VGA's 2020.

purple10118h ago

@lightning, that’s when the first trailer was shown, but it was known to be in development much earlier and Xbox fans were tooting it to be released years ago, the initiative studio formed in 2018, and to my knowledge have not released a game

That’s 6 years and all you got is a trailer and some empty promises
Good one from Microsoft, yet again.

Lightning7716h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Such is game development, long developmental cycles is one of the big black eyes of the industry. I don't see you complaining about Wolverine that got announced in 2021, releasing in 2026 and only got one trailer.

purple1018h ago

@ lightning
Nice try but for one, 2021 - 2025 would only be 5 years not 6,

And for two insomniac have developed multiple games or have multiple games in development over that time, and the initiative only have the 1 game to be concerned with

For three, we all know the quality Wolverine will be and although I do hope perfect dark is good, it’s unlikely to be as good as insomniacs proven track record

RaidenBlack2h ago

@purple101
Dude, not all studios are managed equally & perform similarly... stop comparing and undermining people's works. Stop comparing veteran studios with newly created one.
Stop console/studio warring all the time.
Insomniac, capcom, Ubisoft can churn out multiple games year after year, doesn't mean other studios are trash.
There was 5 years gap between Ascension and GoW'18, 6 years between Original Sin II and BG3, 7 years between Max Payne 2 and Alan Wake etc, etc. A lot goes behind the scene. Projects gets redone/ cancelled.
Happens in our work place as well.

Lightning7743m ago

Wolverine is releasing in 2026 according to the leak. Ok 5, 6 years is still awhile.

I don't why you came in here just to start and stir up console wars.

You ppl need ro grow the hell up already.

Can you define “see”? Microsofts notorious for showing CGI movies as substitution for gameplay.

z2g3h ago

Agreed. They know they gotta come out swinging on this one. I’m pretty excited for it. Franchise is near and dear to me.

Einhander19725h ago

Good thing they got Crystal Dynamics to make it, at least they know how to make a game that has 60 fps.

z2g3h ago

Oh good. That should spare us from 3 months of pointless internet trolling drama

ravens523h ago

Dope. Just curious. Is this a "Xbox win" or "uggh REMAKE"? Or that only applies to Sony remakes?

DOMination-1h ago

It only applies when the game is a remake which this isn't.

Crows9054m ago

Do we actually know that?
To be fair it is probably more of a reboot...don't think they'll be able to amaze the industry with a remake or just more of the same from so long ago ...honestly doubt they'll make it as good as the 1st game either... we'll eventually find out.

Lightning7741m ago

Too bad it's not a remake but a reboot.

SpacedDuck3h ago

Love how Microsoft had this big new flash studio called The Imitative who were going to make this game and then everyone started quitting and they had to outsource it to CD.

Microsoft needs to figure out their crap, too many studios being run poorly.

Crows9053m ago

That's a valid point but Microsoft and xbox don't actually have any clue about making games. All they can do is purchase and hope for the best.

Lightning7739m ago

"too many studios being run poorly."

What other studios are being run poorly?

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.

SimpleSlave23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan23d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

MEGANE23d ago

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

SimpleSlave23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!
🦇

🧛🔥🔥 🔥

anast23d ago

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos23d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7722d ago

I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
