What is, in your opinion, the greatest sword in all of video games?

...

...

I really adore the butcher knife from Souls. That leapt attack. The fact that you can roll in any direction and change direction mid roll into a attack ( you can do that with any weapon really but the butcher knife has impressive reach). DS 3 health regeneration. God it's such a perfect weapon.

...

FUCKHEADS

...

That's impressive but that's no Dragon Bone Smasher

This is the greatest handgun ever made.

Sorry user, that wasn't for you.

i'm sorry, but its too good - it outclasses DBS regardless of how much of a dick extender it is

You can't pronounce gaelic

this is the correct answer
it makes you a sword master upon equip, and you only get better from there

...

This sword is so strong, it made the game not fun

Explosion sword is best sword

...

SOUL EDGE

klˠiːvˠ ˈsˠɔlˠəʃ

Yeah but you can't apply curse weapon on it for those broken curse hypermode builds. At which point DBS out damages it by a long shot.

Rebellion.

Best Sword

...

Master sword of course
it has master in the name, what else could be?

A grandmaster sword? :^)

My dick ;)

Uriziel from Gothic 1.

FOOLS

no matter how great or grand a sword is, the master sword taught it how to be

I knew this was bound to happend.

user, in the end the difference between life and death comes from such details.

Source?

No Holy Avenger?

sons, I am dissapoint.

Too many bullshit requirements.

I'd rather have a stick than go through all the asspain for a +5 Sword of Detect Evil anyway.

Or just play something/thief :^)

What is the source of that webm? I've seen a few different scenes posted and I want to see the original.
On a different note why are most video game swords so goddamn ugly to look at with all these extra bits coming out of the blade. Those extra bits make half-swording harder to do.

It's from Thunderbolt Fantasy, a literal Taiwanese puppet show.

To answer your second question, because kids and weebs think it looks "cool", half the "swords" posted in this thread are clubs rather than swords.

side note: best sword/farming equipment coming through

My fucking nigga
and thanks for giving me the source user.

the assbringer?
asscandy?

Dacians pls go

Posting faggy oversized JRPG "swords"

Step it up, faggots.

bretty gud sword

icewinddale.wikia.com/wiki/Pale_Justice
carsomyr's for fags

The only requirement is lawfull good paladin.

Given that you get a +5 (and an additional +5vs. evil), +50% magic resistance, dispel on hit.
And can be upgraded to +6 (+6), making it the hardest hitting and most accurate weapon in the game.

I have become death, destroyer of (evil) worlds!

Superior nippon steel coming through.

that wiggly shit looks so stupid, it's like Michael J. Fox was asked to hold the thing still while the smith hammered it

This is the only right answer. The dragon tooth sword lets you wander around the futristic world of deus ex slicing and fucking dicing.

There is no finer sword. Sorry to end the thread on you guys like that. I'll take my trophy in the living room.

Oh, almost forgot about that one. IT's been quite a while since I played ID.

Wasn't there another one? An ordinary blade belonging to an old paladin who went around and killed 7 great evil dudes, and was so badass the sword absorbed his badassery?

You never heard of a flambarge?

flan barge?

EMPOWER

...

nice ID

...

...

he aged a lot and he's losing his accent

I think you hold on the keychain

There was a dude in Warcraft, named Sargeras or something like that. IIRC he had a very powerful sword, like the most powerful in Warcraft universe. Can't remember its name

i think you hold it on the connected handles of the 2 keys

The level 1 starter sword in any video game. Be it a common sword, rusty sword, adventurers sword, or whatever name it goes by, but the first sword you get. It's with you at the beginning of your journey, it sees you off on an amazing adventure.

It's even better when it stays with you during your adventure, grows with you, and when you get to romance it.

nani des ka

Jokes's on you, the game is written by nuBioware!

Why doth King Arthur don an italian white cuirass?

I like it.

Narpa's Sword

...

Fi is a shit

A SHIT

Not the greatest as in most powerful. But it definitely feels the greatest to use.

...

Isn't the Shovel Knight guy a faggot who supports Anita and Zoe and shit?

yes

Nigga u dumb.

Split damage gets beat out by the minimal trade off of cracked Curse Weapon any day.

Thought so. Seeing Shovel Knight appear in that Yooka-Laylee trailer made me less interested in the game.

Too boring. This one is more fun.

So what? The game is actually good.

I don't support developers that I don't like.

Came here to post this.

Say what you will about Dark Souls 2, but the DLC levels have some of the best shit in the entire series, including this bad boy right here.

It wasnt a sword it was the staff of Sargeras and begs the question what is the most powerfull staff in vidya?

mh = v, it's not hard.

Fair enough, then.

This is the objectively correct answer.

Crissaegrim.

...

I was waiting for someone to post this.

Ain't it kind of weird that the Turtles use ancient weaponry (Don literally with a wooden stick) that still manage to damage robots and other high tech stuff?

Not really. Because its video games.

megaman the sword.

The billhook, you faggot.
Swords a shit.

10/10 it's pretty good.

you forgot

Looks like a typical weapon in AdventureQuest

Where is this from?

...

Get on my level.

*teleports behind you*

So when did Saber become a chav?

...

That's not Saber, that's Mysterious Heroine X, a heroine from the future sent back in time to destroy the Saberface menace. That said, she is still clearly a member of the Saber class, and not the Assassin class.

...

Slut cant hangle galatine

No specific sword but it feels really good to cut people in this game.

If, for once in their juden life, managed to pull off a 60fps update I might break down and get one. Which is unfortunate since it took them around 15 years to convince me if so.

...

...

...

wait, was that in fallout?

I really like the flamberge design from dragon's dogma, and the design of gut's sword aka rectangle with tip.

...

My biggest bet is on the latter and they'll fuck up badly. I want to loose for once though since watching a friend play it and reading a bit on the lore intrigued me. Maybe on my next lifetime/dimension.

Its in EYE Brouzoufmancy

The absolute.

youtube.com/watch?v=eVTtMMr-cj8&feature=youtu.be&t=16m35s

lol

...

Actually this one.
Besides just being good all around weapon it have very nice function.
You have 100% control over its user. You pretty much can be in two places with it.

Daily reminder that Griffith did nothing wrong.

get the fuck off this board and go to /a/

Daily reminder that Guts has ruined more people's lives than Griffith. Guts is the true villain.

...

That was awful user.
Next time you think of posting something this unfunny; don't.

was it autism?

wong

the Claw of Beliar

Since nobody replied, MGQ. Use google.

Oh man, I still haven't played it.
Is it as good as people claim?

I would finish it even if there would be no porn in it.
So yeah it is decent.

It's the best VN I've ever played in my life. And that's not an exageration.

I've not played many.
How does it compare to Steins Gate?

Hot damn.

You'll laugh, you'll cry from different places, you will never want it to end

And when it ends you'll cry even more because that faggoth dagoth or whatever will never release the sequel's translation

So like Steins Gate without the special regions.

...

...

I regret reading your post.

...

...

How the fuck is it said, then?

Kinda like "clav sull-us"

Plain-as-day, straight-up, no bullshit, no nonsense, no bells and whistles, motherfucking

BROADSWORD

the sword of the stars

ETERNALLY RETOLD

the acid sword from roblox. if it didn't melt your arm just by equipping it too fast, you could cut through anything with it. if you dropped it, it would destroy the floor and keep falling until the whole world fell apart. people literally had no floor to stand on.

...

I remember I played an old computer RPG where there was a self-aware gun that you could marry near the end if you kept it.
I don't want to imagine how the MC would have ended up fucking the thing, but it was almost certainly through the barrel.

You spelled death-machine wrong, user.

...

the only reason I say Erdrick's sword / sword of Loto is nostalgia. Dragon Warrior was the first RPG I played, and when I got that sword i felt so fucking powerful.

I went around all the old areas of the game wrecking shit just because I could. To this day it's still my favorite sword.

I don't care what anyone says it will always be Excalibur.

demonssouls.wikidot.com/broad-sword

Which one? Some random Arthurian video game? Final Fantasy? Fate? Some other game series? Mods for TES games? References in the Witcher and fucking everywhere else? BAKA?! Narrow it down for me man.

Stick your dick into the magazine slut slot.

Or, be on the… receiving… end.

...

Clearly From Software has no clue what a broadsword is.

...

MY NIGGA

Looks pretty spot on to me, actually.
Pic related one found in England from about 1000AD.

Fucking fuck

But no, it's actually the laser rapier.

...

Also
It's a sword AND an axe. Though my favorite is the rapier. Fast and efficient.

That isn't a broadsword. It's just a "sword", Oakeshott type XV.

Retarded authors in the early 20th century decided to start calling every wide-bladed sword ever a broadsword but you don't have to perpetuate their fuckup. No complex hilt, no broadsword.

LET'S RAGNAROCK!

I can't read.

I'm looking for absolute power, not comic relief

And I just remembered it's name.
CERA SUMAT

The holy avenger is the paladin's ultimate weapon against the forces of evil. There are few creatures on the Lower Planes that would not hesitate to confront a holy warrior wielding such a weapon… and this one, perhaps more so than others. Once, it was nothing more than a simple iron sword, but through the courage and faith of one man, it became something more.

The blade of this holy avenger glows with a soft golden light. Inscribed upon the hilt in flowing gold letters is "Cera Sumat," which translates into "Six, now Silenced." Cera Sumat earned its name through the labors of elderly duke Kholsa Ehld, a man cresting nearly eighty years of age, who vowed to complete a task that the greatest warriors of three kingdoms feared to do… all because of the weeping of a child.

The times in which Old Duke Ehld lived were ones of great upheaval, and the servitors of Bane were strong, crushing all that stood in their way. Entire kingdoms feared their wrath, and to speak out against them meant death, so many remained silent and turned their eyes from the evils of Bane and his servants.

During these dark times, the most terrible of Bane's minions were six who called themselves the Lost Followers. Their souls were storms of avarice and hate, and mighty were the powers at their command. They reveled in strife and tyranny… and for all the blood they shed, it was never enough.

Together, the Lost Followers brought about the downfall of the Silver Court, slaying its king upon his throne and renaming his once-beautiful nation the Barbed Kingdom. After animating his decapitated corpse and having it march through the streets slaying anyone it could find, they brought a rain of fire down upon the city and the lands around, leaving it a barren wasteland. It is said that they dined in the capital's great hall that night as the land burned, and they raised their wine glasses as the screams of the dying reached their peak.

There was only one survivor. In their last act of malice, the Lost Followers left the king's only daughter, barely five years old, alive to reign as "Queen" over the burned kingdom. They called her the Weeping Queen and cast wards about her so that she might never leave the empty capital, and then left her to starve. Their appetite momentarily slaked, the Lost Followers parted ways and went upon their separate roads of damnation, sowing strife in the Bane's Name.

Old Duke Ehld was the first one to cross the wards of the Barbed Kingdom and seek out the Weeping Queen upon her father's throne. When he found the small girl, he approached, kneeled before her, and told her he had come to pledge his life in her service. In stiff, formal words, he said he had brought food and water and apologized for his lateness, but his bones were old and it had taken him some time to reach this place. The near-starving child stared at him as he pledged his worn blade and his honor to seeing that the ones who had done this terrible crime answered for their actions, if his Queen wished it. After a long, stunned silence, the Weeping Queen found the words to thank him.

From the moment Ehld left the throne room in search of the Lost Followers, the weeping of the queen ended, and she never wept again.

Over six years, Ehld traveled the lands of Faerun and across the planes themselves, seeking the Six, and asking them to answer for their crimes. Each scoffed at the old man and his worn-looking blade, only to find him a dangerous opponent… and in the end, the victor. He recorded the events of their death upon a stone set into the pommel of his blade, and there was even regret in his writings that he had not been able to enlighten the Lost Followers to turn from their path before it came to its end.

When the last of the Six had answered for their crimes upon the edge of the Cera Sumat blade, Ehld returned to the Weeping Queen and laid the blade at her feet. Where once it had been a tarnished blade, it shone as brightly as the sun, and the stone in the pommel was covered with the writing of his journeys. He detached the stone, and set into a chain, and he gave the Weeping Queen. Ehld told her to keep the chain to wear as a reminder of the many evils of the world and that they are never far from one's heart… but if one's heart is true and one's path is righteous, one may triumph against any number of evils.

Duke Ehld outlived his queen, living to the age of 107, at which point Ehld took his Cera Sumat and left the Barbed Kingdom… and is said to have traveled north. In time, the Barbed Kingdom rose to its former glory and its name was changed, and with it, the fate of Cera Sumat and the Medallion of the Lost Followers was forgotten… until your arrival in Kuldahar and the medallion and the Holy Avenger were united once again to meet the Lost Followers in battle one final time.

But the story of Ehld and Cera Sumat was a story of another time, and of the adventures of another hero. This is now your time, and your epic. If your band counts a paladin among its number, then this ancient blade is yours to wield against the forces of evil…

And perhaps, if your heart is true, save a land from destruction once again.

This sword is just cheating. It's like 10-11 swords in one.

I don't know about best but one of my favorite to use. They just look so damn cool.

so the best sword is some kind of axe?

What the fuck is wrong with all of you?

Don't any of you faggots want to make the angels scream and devils cry

im not really much of a bully

Fuck you

The awkward and erratic movements on those puppets are pretty bad, bruh. I'm surprised anyone really likes this.

THAT IS MY FETISH
WHAT GAME

The awkward exaggerated movement are a staple of the Wuxia genre. It's over exaggerated and I'll understand perfectly when people say they prefer subtler, less theatrical stuff like you did.

checked

It's not even as cool as Blue Rose

aww shucks

Obviously, the huskblade is the strongest sword in existence.

Great sword tbh.

Nice, I like it.

Tbh though this sword is also pretty dank, it was in the lore the strongest sword possible, unbreakable and destroyed an entire continent when it defeated an unbreakable shield.
