Maybe youre doing something wrong. I always have an overabundance of ammo or enough money to buy more ammo even on hard mode.PanicxBoss said:
Forget the Chinese Pistol; the Chinese Officer's Sword is just as bad if not worse!
Oh and the banana scythe in guild wars is junk, so are all the candy weapons other than the bow.
and other than uniqueness the ogre-slaying knife is of little to no use, neither is dragon-slaying.

Low-quality weapons in Borderlands. As implied, thier stats are inferior to regular, high and v. high quality weapons, the stinger is that they also arent even worth selling because because the quality rating holds alot of control over how much a gun buys/sells for.
An example- Jakobs guns with low-quality will have 'plywood' in thier names, regular guns dont have quality indicators, high will have XX in its name and v. high will have ZZ in its name. The formula varies depending on the brand.

My favourite weapon was the A3-21 plasma rifle in fallout 3. Very high durability, high damage, common ammo.MiracleOfSound said:
I say the chemical thrower in bioshock. I rarely find it useful because if you need elemental attacks you can just use plasmids. And while I'm at it the security bulleye if a plasmid counts.
All the weapons in Fallout 3 without mods.
Not a single one had a spark of "Fuck yeah, I'm gonna kick some ass now". Even the fat man, since you knew you'd never have any ammo. They were all "bleep bloop, I am a machine, my survival percentage chance has increased 13% with the acquisition of this tool".
Especially since, on very hard difficulty, battles just became a war of attrition. If I swing a god-damned super sledge at someone's face, I don't want their health to creep down a notch, I want their face to explode. Not "explode suddenly after three hundred swings", after one.
And how could the minigun be so shit?
Luckily, mods- how I missed you, vindicator minifun. And yay, realistic combat damage mods.

Well thank you kind sir. Even if I was half asleep and my spelling was awful.LittleChone said:
Nothing will ever beat the Giant's Knife in uselessness from LoZ: OoT. 200 rupees for a sword that breaks after 8 hits, can't spin attack and you can't use your shield with it.
I did the whole of Ravenholm with just the Gravity Gun, for the achievement. It was quite fun.HG131 said:
Ninja'd! Although in Goldeneye: Source, I inexplicably managed to get a long-range kill with it.Drakmeire said:
Also, the Loch-n-Load and the Direct Hit from TF2 are pretty much useless if you don't have really, really good aim, the LnL especially. Maybe they're great weapons in the hands of a pro, but I never really liked them.
Golden sword. Even more worthless.Zenn3k said:Wooden Sword, Minecraft
The throwing knives in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and certain times of AC2. You can hold ten with no upgrades and it takes half of them to take out a guard. You could alternatively use one hidden gun bullet and stay undetected. You could also buy the crossbow and stay undetected too. I never used them effectively once, completely pointless.
Yes, that is exactly who you get.Cheesepower5 said:
You know, the disturbing thing right now is that I started checking Final Fantasy IX sites to find a referance for you to prove this wasn't another "Aeris Resurrection" gag, but it seems like nobody has any information on Beatrix other than the cheat using a gameshark.
I even went and dug up my old Final Fantasy IX Strategy Guide, and unfortunatly it's that one guide that required you to use "Playonline" and it no longer seems to be supporting the FF IX keywords because it's so old apparently.
At any rate, the bottom line is that if you get Excalibur II your supposed to be able to give it to Beatrix in exchange for her joining your party. You lose the game's penultimate weapon, but get the game's best character in return.
This is why there is so much data on her and she's unlockable in the game, she can be more than a very brief temporary character, albiet you can't use her in a typical game playthrough I don't believe without cheating.
Of course I can't actually *prove* this, and it has been a long time, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt. I sort of feel stupid for mentioning something that I thought was common knowlege and then being unable to prove it myself.
At any rate now that I'm suffering allergies from dust I might as well say I believe the relevent keywords from the cluebook should be STNREX7, and EXCAL9. Between that it should be everything official on Excalibur and Excalibur 2 from Playonline, but again I can't access it, and I'm pretty sure the stuff about getting Beatrix legally is (or was) there.
I have to disagree. with a riot shield on your back and two G18's with lightweight and marathon you are a lightning fast death machine.acturisme said:
