  • Games often demand a fight but it doesn’t mean you have to use the most horrible, deliberately gut-churning weapon you can find. Consider the cruel and unusual methods of the Cerebral Bore from Turok 2, the Drill Bucket from Dead Rising 2 and the Time Manipulation Device from Singularity, for example. Enjoy, and subscribe for a video like this every Thursday!

    The time manipulator could be both a weapon and a tool, like a knife. When used for stuff like cutting food, it's a tool, but when you're brutally murdering the entire neighbourhood with it, it's a weapon. The thing is, you could use the exact same knife to do both, meaning it is both a tool and a weapon, so imo the same can be said about the time manipulator

    The gluon gun would actually be even worse than depicted. Without the strong nuclear force holding someone's atoms together, they would violently disassociate in a manner akin to a nuke going off, and likely kill Gordon in the process due to radiation.

    However, not only does the air taser NOT work as a nonlethal option, it takes a long time to kill its target, and your only clue that the target is now *ahem* neutralized will be when they start screaming and burst into flames.
    Seriously, just look up "Syphon filter taser" on TH-cam. It's as infamous as the cerebral boar -- people challenge themselves to finish the game using nothing but it.

    MGS4 had bullets you could purchase in subsequent playthroughs that could alter the mood of your enemies. There are four types; Yellow for laughter, green for fear, red for anger, and blue for sadness. Depending on what you hit someone with, they'll either be overtaken by an inexplicable (to them and their comrades) urge to laugh maniacally, or be filled with such rage that they disregard basic combat methods like cover and charge at their enemies like an action film hero.
    Interestingly enough, at least two of the ammo types will not count if they cause an enemy to die, as it is considered to not be Snake's fault if the enemy perishes while under the effects of those certain ammos.

    Frankenstein was the creator of the monster, but he is also the monster himself too. For example, the monster he created didn't use entirely human parts. It said in the book that he had gotten some of the parts from slaughterhouses. Also, if Dr. Frankenstein would have actually stayed with the monster and taught it well then it would have at least acted a little human, but instead he ran away I'm fear because (and I quote) "It looked so ugly." This then led Frankenstein's monster to go kill a couple people and run away.

    What about the Thorn from Destiny? You literally remake a weapon that the most imfamous guardian killer used.

      Lore Wise I'd agree, but gore wise not really much when fired against alien beings, killer time travelling robots, reject cthulhu shadow creatures, and zombies of light.

    I am quite surprised the "Injector" from Time Splitters: Future Perfect isn't on this list. Sure in the campaign Cortez uses it against Freaks but in the multiplayer you are literally using to explode your enemies in cloud of mist and gibs.

      But they explode after a time. Probably turns the blood into nitroglycerine or something.
