The Broken Sword in Demon's Souls. It is only useful since you can upgrade it into a decent sword, otherwise nil damage and poo range.
The Slaves Shield is also very very useless.

Having had experience with a multitude of melee weapons, I can say otherwise. The only difference is the balance, which isn't always a difference (viking longswords are very blade heavy). If you can use a sword well, it wouldn't take but a few swings to learn to use a mace well.Double A said:
The Soul Cube from DOOM 3. You have to kill 5 other enemies with your normal wepaons just to charge it up and when you do it's still fucking useless. It's only purpose is to kill the end boss which I thought was just stupid since I've got a fucking Gatling gun, a rocket launcher and the motherfucking BFG with me, why the hell would I be using this piece of crap?
That is very cool.maninahat said:
I wasn't arguing the practicality of the weapon, simply that it'd work in a similar fashion as a revolver with a bayonet, since that's what the post I quoted seemed to be confused about.
While I admit the gunblades are awesome looking they're very impractical. If I had a bayonet pistol it'd be like the one you just posted.
In Cave Story, you collect experience which levels up your weapons (1-2-3-MAX [MAX isn't actually a level, just level 3 with a nice exp cushion). Getting hit loses exp and delevels them.
The Nemesis is weird though, because at level 1, it's one of the strongest weapons in the game, boasting a high rate of fire and pretty good damage, while at level 2, it's hardly as powerful as your starting gun. At level 3 it shoots rubber ducks.
Also it takes 1 exp to level up each level. Since exp is dropped from every enemy in the form of bouncing yellow triangles, you'll have to either be The One to dodge them all or a masochist and keep getting hit to downgrade it, because should you touch even 2 tiny +1 exp things, you'll be shooting rubber ducks.
Its anti-leveling trait makes it outclassed by every gun in the game.
Edit:
It doesn't have a lower magnification. The regular sniper rifle has a normal scope and a ranged scope. The Beam Rifle only has a ranged scope, meaning it goes to full zoom twice as fast.
The Beam Rifle isn't meant for headshots.It fires a beam that lasts for a second or so. You're supposed to focus that beam on them anywhere, as it does small amounts of damage really fast while you hold the beam on them, enough damage to one shot most classes with a body shot.
Also it pierces through targets. You're supposed to stand in front of oncoming enemies and mow them down as the approach, which is hilariously unsniper-like.
If you don't want to use it, just don't switch off of the normal sniper rifle. It's better than your pistol anyways; that thing can only kill if you unload a full round without missing (and even then some things will survive.) Your sniper rifle will kill pretty much everything with two body shots.
So yeah, for a Sniper Rifle, it's pretty terrible. For an "in the fray" gun with particularly long range, it's great.

Edit:
The normal sniper rifle leaves a rather noticeable trail. Also you're kidding yourself if you think that the game's AI need you shooting at them to know where you are. Those things are bloodhounds with eagle vision I swear.Dominic Burchnall said:

Not offended, yes it's needlessly complex. Your post simply said "how would it work?" and I just said "like a revolver with a bayonet".CrazyGirl17 said:
Can't it function as a gun? I know squall doesn't use it like one really, but I'm pretty sure Lightning does... (dissidia based knowledge, I've never played FF13)
The Makarov pistol from the STALKER series. Oh god, the Makarovs... You were often stuck using it early on, it did crap damage, had a tiny magazine even while prone and firing from a sights-up position you'd have had a hell of a time trying to hit anything farther than 10 meters away. To make matters worse, the Makarovs oyu had early on were usually badly in need of repair and would also jam every so often.
Broken Sword in Demon's Souls. I wanted to be ridiculous and try to run through the game with one...it's not working out. Or the broken Giant's Knife in Ocarina of Time. But my vote is still Demon's Soul's Broken Sword.
Damn, I got ninja'd.demoman_chaos said:
I would go as far to say the companion cube from Portal 2. Mostly because i was trying to use it to kill my buddy..... he would always move right when i opend a potal just above him.
i'm with you on that. it was a stupid piece of nothing that had no good side what so ever. actually forgot about that weapon until you mentioned it. CURSE YOU! did like it in Perfect Dark where you could get a KL01313 or something like thatREvolve said:
hahaha this.REvolve said:
That's why I usually play with low health when I play multiplayer with people. To make the klobb actually half-decent.
Edit: also, fun fact:
This thing is both known as the "Klobb", (I don't know where the hell they got that name) and the skorpion from Call of Duty.
Same gun, only, one game used the correct name.
Or you could use my strategy as Brick; run into a pack of guys with punching power, it runs out, die, 5x burst rocket launcher at the clowns standing around me, revive and punching power is off cooldown.Jak23 said:
I can't think of any names, but in Mass Effect there were various models off weapons that were worse in all 3 stats than another model, despite being of equal level/availability etc.
