5 over-the-top weapons in video games

If they haven't turned it into a gun or a sword, they weren't trying hard enough...

No shark gun from saints row 4 or anthrax cow was from postal 2?

[M1GO]

Everything about Saints Row 4 is over-the-top...

Nero's Sword: Can be revved like the handle of a motorcycle

Fun Fact Squalls Gunblade doesn't shoot bullet, it emmits shockwaves in the blade for extra damage, not normal bullets.

[Dasteru]

Where did you come up with that "fact"? based on all the text in game and the sound/visual effects during combat, it very much shoots bullets.

You learn this in game too

From your own link.

"The firing of the gunblade's rounds induces a tremor in the blade"

So the gunblade does fire bullets, it just doesn't use them directly in the attack, rather it uses the vibrations from the recoil to enhance the blade damage. Still firing bullets though.

It's not known for sure if it fires bullets or just blanks. The point of it is that when it fires either one it creates a shockwave throughout the blade that, when striking an opponent and fired, will result in more damage.

Ratchet & Clank has a trove of good ones.

'over-the-top weapon' is an oxymoron IMO.

[LogicStomper]

The gravity gun from Half Life 2 is pretty over the top. Why shoot the enemy when you can throw them with a gun?

Another would be the monkey gun from Timesplitters. One pull of the trigger and you've got 64 rounds all fired in one go.

Looks like my post got approved - this is a first for me, so thanks again everyone!

I'll probably continue this line of posts, seeing as how there are just so many ridiculous weapons in video games.
