ITT: shit vidya weapon design
Austin Jenkins
Ryder Powell
those huge swords in general are shit design and totally lame
no, berserk making it cool one time does not justify it anywhere else
Ryder Foster
Seek Grass
and then lift, dexnigger
Justin Turner
It wouldn't be unusual for that part of the blade to be dull
Brandon Cruz
u mad brah???
Julian Reyes
Guts gets a sheath, why can't my Elden Ring character have one?
Elijah Roberts
or at the very least for that massive sword to be relatively dull in general because it's mostly gonna use the huge weight for damage
Henry Lopez
Yeah, dullish blade + armor on the shoulder makes it a bit more believable.
Henry Robinson
Why wouldn't he use this part of the sword as shoulder rest
Thomas Thomas
if anything berserker fags ruined big swords for me
David Martinez
He should just hold it lower on the hilt so the hilt or the guard rests on the shoulder instead of the blade. Its clear From doesn't give a single fuck about clipping.
Luis Wood
>shoulder rest
you might as well make it a 1 sided sword, tard. otherwise the wielder must be aware which side is which
Jacob Green
shoulder armor protects it
Jaxson Reyes
Who cares. It looks cool. A sword of that size is never going to be realistic anyway.
William Brooks
Those are pretty common actually, often called something like a backsword.
Juan Cooper
He's wearing armor though. A shoulder rest would do absolutely nothing.
Josiah Gonzalez
came here to post this, its not like the entirety of the blade gets sharpened.
Oliver Nguyen
>real scythe - interesting subtle curve to the handle, blade is thin and sharp, evocative and a powerful symbol
>fantasy scythe - giant spikes and hooks out the ass, giant chunk of metal welded to a tree trunk, not graceful or threatening at all
Gabriel Stewart
>evocative and a powerful symbol
Its a farm tool.
Thomas Powell
>evocative and a powerful symbol
Symbol for what? Mowing grass?
Hudson Nguyen
>fantasy scythe
fucking tight
Asher Morris
For the mortal harvest, something that has basically superseded any farming symbolism they ever had.
Aiden Morgan
First post worst fucking post
Landon James
not fair, DS has the grounded scythe design too
Nathan Kelly
This, except it's not cool in Berserk either
Aaron Baker
Yeah Souls is basically the only game with decent scythes. They really suffer from JRPGification, more than other weapons I feel. Friede's scythe and the Winged Scythe from ER are both cool looking and fantasy without being Deviantart tier.
Adam Bennett
I used the greatsword near the beginning of my game but they look like crap. no technique. You get so many of them too but they're so lame to use. Switched to Katana because they look way cooler and your player is actually using sword stances.
They need to look at how Guts actually uses his sword in the manga. He's as fast as anyone else. He doesn't leave openings. He can knock arrows out of the air with it.
Alexander James
The zweihander is at the limit of what a huge sword should be for me. Anything bigger than that its just anime retardation.
Carson Richardson
Yeah actual big swords from real life look cool, even if they're basically polearms.
Matthew Adams
Wait till you see what they did to the zwei. Actually fromsoft made scythes cool by not going crazy.
Sebastian Robinson
>have little armor with a big weapon
>it hovers over the shoulder instead of resting on it
