How come flamethrowers often ineffective in video games?

ugh those glasses are a poor choice for her face

Chudmaxxing.

>>715114805
They are safety glasses. Are any of you people real?

>/v/ will unironically tell me I'm sick for wanting to creampie her anus

>>715115061
Safety for fucking WHAT, retard?
She is safely inside, the fire is OUTSIDE.
Fucking goofball, do you hear yourself when you type? And are you telling me they don't make cuter safety glasses, faggot?
Get the fuck out of my thread.

>>715115340
yeah you're a sick retard

Because otherwise they would be overpowered AND dangerous for the user.
Also, almost no game (if not basically no game) have realistic fire and fire damage (about fire damage on the player maybe Hideous Destruction would be the most realistic)

>>715114640 (OP)
Devs didn't understand them and didn't know how to balance them. The idea that military flamethrowers could kill a man at ranges that a pistol would be used for and that, when enclosured, those flamethrowers could kill entire bunkers of people was completely unknown.

Like look at the M4 CS 1.4-Source reload animations. Very few devs knew shit about guns.

Then, once the destruction became known, people didn't know how to balance them for fun gameplay. How do you make insta-touch death fair? (because that's a flamethrower). You can't do it with range, because that's extremely hard to balance on anything that isn't ARMA milsim scale.

You can't make them true to life without making them extremely limited because then you have flamethrower wars and the gameplay gets degenerate.

Then you have fire animations and burnt textures. It gets to the point where devs just don't bother. So many devs have chosen that path. It's to the point that old examples of flamethrowers outnumber "modern" ones like Rising Storm or CoD WaW.

Then there's the fact that the time where flame throwers were "effective" essentially started in WWI and ended in WWII with extreme cases in distant history and the modern form of these weapons are all dropped by aircraft or indirect fire.

is this the thread

What?? Usually they are super op. What games have weak flamethrowers?

>>715115479
Crying too much can make your chest hurt. Is there something you're not telling us anon?

>>715115578
you decompress range in video games

fallout, tf2 without flares/backburner

>>715116676
holy kek keep seething non-pedo

>>715115340
Yeah. You are supposed to say that's cute, not "I what to rape that." Normal people know the difference.

>>715117261
Fallout 3 and onward. In 1 and 2 they are pretty deadly.

>>715115882
I just started Rogue Trader and flamers so far are really disappointing.

Flame Tanks in HoI4 are so strong that they're locked behind special research. It's the earliest level of special research but still.

>>715115578
Goddamn what a great post.

>>715115769
What's wrong with those pics?

>>715114640 (OP)
it's a loli with a flamethrower!

>>715114640 (OP)
Flamethrowers are either completely useless or the most overpowered weapon in the game.
Bonus points if burning enemies can set you on fire.

>>715114640 (OP)
Beucase IRL the effects are mostly psychological, you inflict mental pain upon the enemy either through show or through word that they will suffer from this weapon if they keep resisting. Similar to other such as the Katyusha in WW2 and similar artillery barrages, or the nosediving sound from that luffwaffe plane.

I swear to god i will get to kill a pederast (if you a pedo, comprehend on the nature of your lust and understand what it inflicts on kids) with my own bare hands, slowly, before i die

>>715115578
wasn't the problem with flamethrowers that anyone carrying one was instantly shot because they were so effective?

>>715118320
>either completely useless or the most overpowered weapon in the game
Where's your god now?

>>715115340
Well at least he isn't a hypocrite. Also good self control on picking anus.

>>715115535
Halo 3 got the flamethrower right, it melts the shit out of the flood.

>>715118320
Why can't flamethrowers just be fun? Last time I had fun with a flamethrower in video games was Duke Nukem Time to Kill

>>715118247
Flipflops while pouring hot asphalt is a nice way to get long lasting 3rd degree burns. If you ever step on it, it'll melt the sole and you'll get a nice mix of 350°F plastic and asphalt sticking to your feet.
Second pic is just asking for a bad fall with dubious integrity of the ladders kinda haphazardly harnessed together.

>>715115340
Fuck off, ironic pedo.

>>715115340
all anus feel the same
