When you're going loud, you can take a few hits and keep going
When you're going stealth, detection is instant death

Loud is for pussies

good

You're pathetic, like a bunch of bloody Millwall fans!

Holdfast, when you're a doctor on a small boat blasting the enemy in the chest

if you used any other pistol in the game besides Leon's service gun you're a fag. Also while I'm at it, the 870 pump action you find in the village is the best shotgun. Fuck the striker and fuck the riot gun

Good taste. I do love the Blacktail for purely ironic reasons. The remake's Red 9 isn't as good as in the OG RE4, but the Silver Ghost is cooler than ever now.

I have a weird relationship with Killing Floor. I only ended up playing it during the Christmas events (and then with Christmas mode turned on permanently when they allowed it). So instead of being a zombie game it becomes an evil santa shooter. Its the ONLY way I'd play it. The worst thing was the fucking Nutcracker. I don't even know what it's called in the base game. But I do know he's a prick and a damn bullet sponge

Same but in a different way, I didn't have internet for a long time as a kid, so I'd download games when I could and play them offline. I played alot of singleplayer Killing Floor as a kid.

I loved the Mk23 in KF1, it's pretty great in Trepang2 as well. I wish I could actually enjoy it in real life, it's seriously uncomfy to handle. And that's coming from someone that thinks the 92FS with stock grips fits my hands perfectly.

>>63893666
was about to post this lol. probably the most satisfying pistol i've used in a game. its crazy how much better KF1 was compared to 2.

>>63893279
>>63893292
Funnily enough, the regular Deus Ex pistol can be stealthier than the stealth pistol (the Ghost in the Shell -ish one).
The enemies don't hear gunshots from particularly far away, and the regular pistol does more damage, so it's often easier to drop the target before he can alert others.

>>63893292
Stealth is for pussies in the sense that it trivializes the whole game. For a long time I though commandos were added as a hard mechanical counter to baton sprees, until I realized they were the same one-hit knockout as everybody else, its just their head hitbox is on their tailbone.

One of the things that got me into No More Room in Hell was the actual real guns - and you can mod to swap them out when the same models get boring (Like an Ishapore for Saiga, etc.)

Realistic ammo, weight, reload, etc. There are mods for unlimited carry, zombies drop ammo (MERICA!) and other shit so you can just go full shooting gallery

>>63893330
I disagree, Red9 all day. Especially on GC. That said I do like the 870, it's the gun I grew up on so I use it whenever I can.

>>63893639
>5x headshot damage multiplier for the Silver Ghost
Is that a REm4ke thing? I don't remember what the exclusive upgrade does in that but in the original it's a 5x critical chance which secretly also applies to the knife.

I wish I could justify buying it in real life. It might be uncomfy but I'd force myself to like it.
>>63893857
KF1 felt so good until they started shitting it up with meme weapons and characters. Had a lot of hope for KF2 when they said they did high speed motion capture for real life weapons but the weapons just felt ok and with the sci-fi nonsense, definitely a huge step away from what made KF1 great. KF3's been a trainwreck but it looks like the devs are improving it to be like a UE5 version of KF2 which is ok with me. But looks like we'll never get that 90s innabritishwoods grungy KF1 atmosphere again.

>>63895807
That sucks, I was hoping KF3 would be better

Literally made the game playable

>>63895807
I did love KF2 too, but there sheer amount of microtransaction slop and half-baked DLC weapons really hurt the game. Definitely missed that filthy grindhouse horror feel of the first one though, the sci-fi direction was a mistake.
>>63895851
KF3's beta was fucking abysmal. Even if they fix the issues with the gameplay, the direction they've taken the game is beyond saving. All the semi-authentic gun porn is gone, the edge is gone, the trashy humor is gone and replaced with MCU grade quips, the weapons look and sound like they belong in Borderlands. Tripwire is dead and they aren't getting my money.

>>63893879
>its just their head hitbox is on their tailbone.
bbl, banging cyberknights in the ass

It was fun, if nothing else

Republic Commando had a great pistol, decent damage, infinitely recharging ammo, cool draw and melee animations.
Bioshock 1 pistol was nice, good sounds and smoke effects, accurate, headshot damage made it very useful. Prey 2017 pistol was kind of a let down but that was probably intentional
Top end unique pistols in the STALKER series were very satisfying, but the basic ones are useless outside of point blank headshot range.

Meta Magnum Mk II from Beyond Citadel is fun.

no it doesn't.

>>63896811
i like the automatic pistol more. the revolver was fun too but a little too clunky.

>>63893273 (OP)
I like how in Watch Dogs Aiden drawing a pistol has him with the gun out as a quickdraw but after a second he transitions to an actual stance. But the silenced 1911 at the start of the game can handle almost every stealth scenario. There's honestly little reason to get more pistols because the starter one just does it all.

Counter Strike games have a nice dynamic between its pistols. On one hand you have a slower firing, 13 round holding ,45acp thats a bit more accurate and suppressed. And on the other hand you have a 20 round slightly less accurate unsuppressed Glock. They're both great pistols if you play them to their strengths which makes it a very well thought out dynamic of spraying vs aiming depending on which side you're on. Which I think is kinda cool given that it kinda continues to push that age old /k/ debate of "muh boomer 45 accuracy nra bullseye shooting" vs "muh broccoli head fast splits burn it down striker fired" shit you always used to hear

Battlefield 2142 had the best pistols. The top break revolver is superior, but I've always thought that the PAC pistol had some really logical improvements for a video game gun, with a fixed top rail and flip-up red dot sight.
>>63893279
Then Human Revolution followed the same idea and made the 10mm op as balls. There was no point in using any other gun, even the revolver didn't have the range of the 10mm.

>>63897045
The 10mm pistol could be powerful, but only with headshots, and 10mm ammo dries up in the 2nd half of the game. The revolver turns into a grenade launcher with the explosive upgrade. It's able to take down bosses super fast.

>>63894718
>Is that a REm4ke thing?

Yes and when it procs, the pistol does as much damage as a magnum. It's probably the strongest weapon upgrade in the game and you can get it before the first boss fight (which makes it much easier)

>>63894853
But did you gain any Brouzouf?

>>63896988
For me? Its da 5.7

>>63895983
Absolutely goated pistol.

Soldier of Fortune (PC) had two good pistols.
the glock had a great recoil animation, had a lot of energy, made you feel like you were really sticking it to them. Then you got the Desert Eagle and experienced a violence awakening.

>>63898051
I don't remember the last time I played through Human Revolution without the debug menu specifically because of the ammo availability and energy bars. I always thought it was beyond stupid that I'm the security guy for one of the richest men on the planet, I end up taking on the Illuminati by myself, and I have to source all my ammo from back alley gun dealers. I just max out my ammo every time I'm in Detroit because if Sarif isn't paying for it then I quit. And also there are energy cheats so you don't have to eat a candy bar every time you want to punch someone.

The punching/takedown animation is ridiculously overpowered even without cheating, especially if you've unlocked some energy regen upgrades and the reflex booster that lets you take down two enemies at the same time.
Maybe it's just because it was made for the horribly RAM-crippled Xbox 360 and the PS3 (yay, let's run games off 8+ GB media but only have a couple hundred MB of usable RAM and try to do high-definition graphics with that), but most of the time there's maybe a dozen enemies in the loaded area at once, if even that. Not too hard to just find spots where you can eliminate them two guys at a time.

C'mon niggas...
I used to play with this girl for hours just against bots.
The assault rifle replacement was a sin.

A lot of the pistols from The Specialists, easily the most kino Half Life mod. Especially the G18 and the one shot pirate pistol.

>>63893273 (OP)
Hunt Showdown is one of the few mulitplayer games where purposefully using a pistol is not on viable but sometimes better than other options. Maybe Halo 1's magnum.

>>63893313
Came here to post this.

I'd also throw RE4 and every MGS to the list.

>>63899818
Considering how Jensen can choose to massacre a police station as part of the plot, it makes sense that he would be buying ammo from the black market or using guns taken off gangbangers. That shit would make the news and he'd be hunted for life if he was ID'd.

>>63903592
I've never massacred the police station and kept playing through the game afterwards. Does anything change plot-wise, like do you lose the quest helping the cop out with the sewer terrorist?

>>63893279
GEP Gun is not a pistol.

>>63903762
That cop you normally speak to when entering the station - Haas - doesn't show up during your 2nd visit to Detroit. There's also a newspaper story you can read about the attack, where a vague description of Jensen is shown, but he isn't ID'd, no matter what you do. You can speak to Haas, then knock him out and stand in-front of the cameras while going postal. It doesn't matter.

CoD 4 Deagle brand Deagle.

It's far from the best pistol in the game (less effective than other choices at most ranges), but I like the Cerberus from Planetside 2 for its animation.
It's the only gun in the game that reloads its energy cell in a "break action" method like this. Most energy weapons just use larger circular batteries inserted into the side, though there are two pump action energy shotguns in the game (that at close ranges kill instantly even with body shots) where you load these little cells into a magazine individually which I think is a nice bit of "continuity".
low frame rate gif doesn't show it all that accurately and the sounds are pretty good too, so feel free to look it up on youtube.

Absolutely goated mod. I was never very good at it and relied on the AK. Hostile Intent was my favorite. The 1911 in it with spare pistol mags was the meta. You could get your pistol up more quickly than smg/shotgun/carbine and shrek fools while spastically running around.

Before I was ever learned how to beat my meat, my repeated stress injuries of the thumb came from this game

H3VR does pistols (and any other kind of gun) better than any other game, and has hundreds of them. Gameplay is pretty bare though outside of take and hold
Receiver 1 and 2 are the best outside of VR and are better on the gameplay front, but still really stripped down.
Red orchestra/Rising storm are the best you'll get in a multiplayer game

>>63907180
A little bit, but never finished it. I was really disappointed that there were no friendly or neutral NPCs and the only enemies were black blobs or black blobs shaped like people.
Still had some fun with it though. Tiptoeing through the night with just a cigarette and a flashlight to see by was spooky as fuck. Hopefully they'll get added or modded in to Into the Radius 2
