Just wondering. I mean we all prefer a different style of fighting in games. So I want to see which most prefer.

And if you pick "I don't care if it works good I don't care what you give me". Then tell which one you want to work best in a game.

Quite honestly, I can't answer that question until the Bourne Conspiracy comes out next year. Their combat system seems they have all the ideas in place for a great experience but that'll remain to be seen.

You should use that when a topic doesn't have a reply in a while so it moves off the first page of new topics to "bump" the thread to the first page. This should also not be abused.

swords pwn. this is just like the "which is better, ninjas or pirates?" topic. but in the end, everyone knows a ninjas gonna win.

anyways, going back to the topic at hand, we dont have enough "good" sword games. ninja gaiden was fantastic, assassins creed is shaping up to be great, but in a gaming world dominated by the FPS i think we should get some good block-counter-slash someones head off action. cause theres nothin better haha

I went with all of the above. I like having options. Keeps it fresh. But, at the end of the day, swords always get my vote. I want more Swords FP[S] games, like that one for the Dreamcast (whose name I can't for the life of me remember)

edit: Maken X, that was the game i was thinking of.

In MGS we gate a combo of guns and fists and it works great guys get to close you melee, sweet. Swords are fantastic when combo whith fists like oblivion. Theres still nothin sweeter then disarming or parlyzing with your fists and goin to town. I havent seen a sword gun combo never played DMC i think that has it, but that doesnt appeal much to ME. Combos work, great when you only have one it gets old quick. COD3 melee with tghe pistol was awesome and ninja gaiden was so cool you could foucus on individuals and still kepp others at bay that was truly awesome even though i didnt really like the game.

doesnt really matter......i wouldnt like a combo of all though because thats what makes Soul Salibur/Street Fight/Tekken/Mortal Kombat/King of Fight/V-Fighter(although they do integrate very few guns)...and others unique and different from the rest. Just give me a comfortable controller(arcade or not) and im ready towup some boootay!!

Swords. Especially Ninja Gaiden for the PS3, and other great sword games like Devil May Cry and God of War. Guns come second.

everyone knows that guns>>>>>>>>>>>>>>swords. While you're watching someone swinging a sword around trying to show off, you just lift up your sawn off lever action and shoot them.

I dont like games where swords and fists are mixed with guns. I dont mind swords and fists together, but when you add guns, I think it spoils the experience a bit.

There aren't enough goodsswordy type games that's why I think swords are leading its still a bit of a novelty to find such a game where on the other hand there are countless shooters and fist fighters out there.

Guns, I find you need more skill, accuracy etc to use them. With swords all you need to do is jump and mash *cough halo*

Its far too hard to choose with so many game engines and enemy defenses and controls it down right in-possible. Now if we are talking about a specific game thats a different story. But in general i say as-long as it works give me what you got. On a side note I often favor Axe's, Whips, Spiked bats(which they do not use nearly enough) and Lance's more In-fact I always wanted to use a whip made from the spines of your enemy's.

I'm going with guns.

There are some nice sword-games (hoping Assassins Creed will be one) but in most games it's too much "smash the buttons" for me
