Love this guy, im hoping this series is mutually beneficial in that maybe some AAA studio may hit the guy up for a review on their weapons so we dont end up with things like the fallout 4 assault rifle again.
Love to hear that he actually knows about the games and seems to have played them some
Should have showed him when Doomguy fire himself from and orbital cannon
It might be a short video but dmc weapons
MICROWAVE BEAM
The glee at the super shotgun's meat hook is palpable
Please do the Tenno and Grineer firearms from Warframe. It has both really fun and frequently Baffling designs that I think Mr Ferguson would both love and hate at the same time 😅
Do S.T.A.L.K.E.R shadow of chernobyl
He said "anime" @17:10 As a 42 year old anime fan since the 1980s, it makes me a little happy to hear it being said in such an unexpected place. ^_^
ok, i would buy the game for the Assault Rifle alone…. that baby kicks whole crowd of asses….
I was hoping John would say we do have a gun that can shoot a whole into the centre of Mars, we just don't use it because international laws or somesuch
how am i so late for this episode lol
"i kinda wished i had played it first, that was a cool moment"
ouch, i feel that, a certain scene in halo infinite was spoiled by my little brother but it was still great
While I enjoyerd both games, I way prefer 2016. Not being able to dash just made being locked in a corridor with a baron charging your way so much scarier.
Tried to sneak d2 in there
Am I the only one that thinks the DOOM 2016 weapons look better than the Eternal ones? Especially the Gauss cannon and the rocket launcher.
Can you do a video on weapons from Valkyria Chronicles?
4:33 i think it first inserts shells into the Revolver (see how it spins up When you hold the button down?) And then fires and After than ejects the shell and quickly adds another before Revolving for the next shot
I love classic doom things
They're not real. You're no expert
No more music while he's talking. Thanks.
Id love to see Johnathan review the weapons from Ultrakill.
come on people wolfenstein
You don't like brown ey? Look behind you mate😆
I think those energy shot looking colored muzzle flashes may be replacement for normal muzzle flash because its the future and they may be using different gunpowder and still use bullets. Or maybe it uses some future fantasy energy to fire the bullet instead of gunpowder. Maybe like an energy explosion or something like that.
And for the BFG, that big massive structure and barrel and that whole entire turret may just be an amplifier for the BFG 9000's signature projectile. So its just a boost, like a socket for the 9k maybe.
STop this maddness youtube. Its not content . Its not what we want in our side panel
doom 2016 isnt a reboot, its a sequel
Don't really understand why the energy weapons have stocks like they do. They shouldn't have any recoil, you're literally firing something that has no mass. Maybe to help aim?
there is no was the super shotgun is 12 gauge. if i were to make a guess i'd say more like 4 gauge, but a jacked up 4 gauge with power for days.
the shells are huge.
If I remember my Doom lore right, the Super Shotgun in Doom Eternal is implied to be the same gun from Doom 2, but twisted into a demon annihilating machine by years and years of being covered in demon guts from all the ripping and tearing Doomguy did prior to getting sealed before 2016 started.
Do wolfainstain
If he likes the plasma gun homage in eternal he should really play it, most of the enemy roster are similarly designed
I know you've already done two videos on Destiny, but I IMPLORE you to take a look at the scout rifles, The Distant Star, and Conspirator. Those things are a total mess!
Attempt 3 of asking for DayZ weapons
Now I need to hook up a chain to it so i can swing and shoot.
Just noticed he wearing a skull shirt
For guns that recoil the barrel, there is also the Browning A5, thought that is a shotgun and not a rifle. Such a fun gun to shoot!
Ok is anyone else hearing screaming in the background of this? It sounds like the Inquisition is going on back there!
unmaker?
Look at the guns in Enlisted. There’s a lot of guns there that aren’t in other WW2 shooters, like the Italian Carcano in the Tunisia campaign.
AN-94, firing 2 rounds at a rate of 2000rpm
Why can't I have THAT gun in DOOM!?!?
Didn't the Pistol energize some gel?
