What Makes A Good Video Game Gun_

Many games feature guns. It’s a shame so many of them can’t feature them properly. Like, a gun isn’t just an outlet for player u31.com เข้าสู่ระบบ commands, a u31 ทางเข้า thing that shoots other things at things. A good video game gun should give something back in return: a sense of heft, or power, or satisfaction, or even all of the above. In an attempt to pin this down, game designer and blogger Michel Sabbagh has written some commandments to making a good video game gun and I’m sharing them here because they look pretty solid.

Married to the way its guns snap in and out of iron sight mode, this has long made the pulling of a trigger in the games—the one thing they needed to get right over anything else—an absolute joy. Sabbagh lists a few games that have got it right, from the woefully underrated Black on PS2 to the Syndicate FPS game. What would you add? Destiny’s guns have always been a blast for me, and while Doom’s variant has its fans, I’ve always thought Half-Life 2’s shotgun was the better example… And then, of course, there’s any game smart enough to include an M1
