The most iconic melee weapon in the entirety of gaming.
>>750621350It isn't even the most iconic in its own game.Rune scim, whip, and DDS are all FAR more iconic.
good one kid
>>750621350>>750621498Imma be real, it's probably the Buster Sword.
for me its the soul reaver
>>750621350Come on now.
>>750621919The swords in the other games don't look like that. Wind waker. Twilight princess.
>>750621919Honestly, it's too generic looking to be iconic.
>>750621350No one likes this weapon. As this anon says:>>750621437And maybe the Bandos Godsword. Its idle animation is so chad.
>>750621995>Honestly, it's too generic looking to be iconic.
>>750622094>Sword with blue handleWow. Real original.
Buncha slack jawed faggots around here
>>750621350
Rune Scimmy, dragon dagger (p) and the abby whip all mog it, in terms of being iconic.
>>750622507>>750622058>>750621437none of that shit compares, as the dscimmy was a common windows xp cursor icon and the rest were not.>inb4 but I used a whip/godsword as my cursorGet the fuck out of my thread you fucking alien
>>750622616the dds cursor was peak performance you fucking poser
>>750622459If we're going Doom weapons it's easily the shotgun or even the BFG.
>>750621565Close but it's not FF
All of these are just "my childhood is more iconic than your childhood". Except Doom, they're also just platform specific and nobody but super dudebro gamers bought a fucking XBox come on
>>750622686Shut the fuck up specnigger no one even uses your shitty diseased shriveled red penis except for one attack once every fiscal year and your shit got mogged by a black woman's overgrown chilli encrusted nails. Meanwhile the classic dscimmy is like the doom shotgun. Reliable. Classic. Timeless. You'd get hourly foursomes with the 100/10 supermodel babes who were playing runescape back in the day if you were a dscimmy chads. It is the literal face of runescape.
>>750622727I know they both work better if you shove them right up a demon's ass but they're not exactly melee weapons, dude.
>>750622839How the fuck did I space on "melee", my bad. I would still argue that the chainsaw was the bigger wow factor of the game but it was almost always a secret iirc, so it wouldn't be iconic to giga normalfags.
Excuse me?
>>750622616Rune scimmiy is the OG weapon.Then whip came out and was weapon of kings.DDS was original good spec weapon and is still the thing everyone thinks of when they think of specs. Its spec is incredibly iconic.Then the dscim came out later and is only associated with being a shit cunt who can't use a whip.
it's actually this
>>750622893Can't say I agree even if I deliberately went out of my way to actually use the chainsaw. Everyone knows about the berserk pack never running out and getting to deal more damage than a gunshot with your fist is kind of a big deal. There's a reason "rip and tear" was a meme long before D44M came around and ran it into the ground.
>>750621350Is it worth making a main in osrs again? My last one got banned ten years ago for rmt.
Everyone knows it's the Master Sword but my pick will always be
>>750621350I don't know what that is and I'm 39. The most iconic weapon is probably either the Buster Sword or Minecraft Sword.
>>750622932its spec is still one of the best in the game, or was a few years ago when i last played
>>750623262It's great if the hit rolls succeed. It's a big IF when against anything with actual defense.
>>750623101It's not that the chainsaw was as effective, it was just a really brutal kill for 1994. You'd see what it does to an imp and say "holy SHIT" as it rapidly loops its pain response and emits what is practically a fountain of blood.
>>750623047It would be really hard to argue against this. Master Sword is a good contender, but is imho just not recognizable enough, and had many different forms. Another pick for the second spot could also be the hidden blade from AC, I didn't see it mentioned in the thread.
I'm not hating on the d scimmy. It's a beautiful weapon, but I've always been a man of the Blurite.
>>750621350I never got membership
>>750623698Nah, I get that, I used the thing for that very purpose.It's just that fucking exploding said imp out of existence with a single punch carries even more oomph.
>>750623806poorfag.
>>750621350what's that
>>750622094>the chudsoijacker is a zelda faggot.okay, writing that insult down, hope you don't have another melty. take your schizo pills.
>>750622616Dscim is for pvpfags and runescape has the fucking worst and gayest pvp in any MMO
>>750622906
>>750621350for me its<
>>750623047this, I have never seen OPs weapon or the soul reaver
>>750621919 if you ask Tendie>>750622464 if you ask Ball and Gun Dudebro>>750623047 if you ask PC Master Race>>750623187 if you ask ONE GAME!>>750624932 if you ask cultured European
>>750621350Whip is goated, dds for specs, ags as well and sgs for pvm. Rapier was fun too
>>750621565That or the Master Sword, probably. I have no idea what the fuck OP's image is.>>750624932I actually prefer the Cervantes version
>>750621350>be me>2011>fighting hill giants north of ardougne for hours grinding to 60 attack>sometimes get bored and labor in the flax fields in seers village>I knew a guy who would stand in seems bank and buy flax all day, he was a middle man and would sell the bowstrings on to someone else>use gp i made to save for ddp++>rinse repeat this until 60>finally hit 60 attack and dual wield ddp+ with d scummyyep its gaming time
>le iconic melee weapon in muh bideo james
>>750621350>Not yasuke katana or abby's hammerI don't think so
>>750621498dork>>750621765most people don't know what this is from>>750622464what are you 12?>>750623047underage b&>>750623187you're gayIt's either the Frostmourne or the Moonlight Greatsword
>>750621437the only people who think the rune scim and dds were more iconic were the plebs who couldn't finish monkey madness.
>i literally had to kill death for this>you know exactly what i'm talking about>good season for crops
>>750622459I forget DOOM even has a melee option most of the time. Unlike Quake's axe there isn't any circumstances where you'd want to use it.
>>750631698That's a class of weapon, not 'a' weapon.And every time a game depicts a lightsaber as a generic sword that does nebulous damage numbers instead of a plasma cutter that lops off your target's limbs like butter a gungan dies
>>750632159Conserving ammo especially if the level has a berserk pack in it
>>750631774Are you retarded?Monkey Madness came YEARS after those weapons you retard.The dscim is newer than the whip, it literally was added for shit cunts who were too shit to get a whip to be a catch up weapon, with multiple new items needing lvl 70 they power crept all the other weapons by adding the scim.It is literally the weapon for players who were too shit and needed help.
>>750623187yuo are a homosexual and a nigger
>>750623047as much as I don't like it, probably this
>>750631767Minecraft is old enough to vote in 21 states and D.C.
>>750623047Too generic. Literally every indie pixelshit game has a sword that's exactly like the diamond sword. And the diamond sword isn't even special in any way. Silk Touch is the only iconic thing about Minecraft.
>>750633778Funnily, that sword sprite didn't even originate from Minecraft, it's just the game it's most strongly associated with.
>>750622379This
>>750621350Doom chainsaw
>>750621350Scorpion's kunai was fucking based
>>750621350You are all wrong.
>>75063416190% of fromsoft players have no idea what this is
>>750621350>troonscapeI never played your mmotrash unc, I don't know what that is
>>750632090noblemen SWERVE
>>750621350indeed.
>>750633778a foam minecraft diamond sword has probably made more money than like 90% of video games
>>750631767>It's either the Frostmourne or the Moonlight Greatsword>warcraftshit or dark soulsthese games are not as widely known as fucking minecraft
>>750635515good point diamond swords are mega based and look great.
>>750621350I couldn't even possibly tell you what game this is from. The most iconic vidya melee weapons are (not in order):>Master Sword (OOT specifically)>Buster Sword>Masamune (FF7 specifically)>KeybladeAnd if you're a zoomer:>Diamond SwordThis is 100%, indisputable, OBJECTIVE fact no matter what your opinion is on the games they come from.
>>750621350Who else had this bad boy as their mouse cursor back in the day
>>750621565Yeah it's the only weapon that transcended its source game and became the "oversized sword the spiky hair teenager uses to kill God" stereotype
>>750635778Honestly out of that list only Buster and Keyblade look distinctive enough while the other two look too much like their conventional counterparts
>>750621350People only begrudingly used this thing to train Strength since a whip couldn't, not that you'd know lil zoomie, you probably did 99 Strength with some overtooled OSRS weapon.
>>750638084how distinct something looks has nothing to do with how iconic it is
There's only one.
>>750638651Anon, it's iconic if most can recognize it from a glance
>>750621350Not even as iconic as the r2h.Runescape died when RS2 was released.
>>750628082 if no one asked
>>750628082Most people play Minecraft on mobile, retard.PC's biggest game isn't even played on PC.
>>750623047This is the correct answer.>>750623187>>750633930>>750621919>>750622464These are also near the top. No one recognizes anything else, especially some gay runescape shit.
>>750639967It depends on who you're asking and what year obviously, but I'd say Diamond Sword if we are going purely by 2026 by virtue of minecraft being an evergreen game. If we're going purely "amassed area under the curve" I'd probably say Crowbar.
>>750634491 herei'm also trans btw
>>750631767if you don´t know where soul reaver is from , you don´t belong on /v/
