Where does it hurt?
people can say there's a best shotgun but then they think of another shotgun that owns

this is because

they're all the best

even the shotgun from doom 3:roe

but not the shotgun from doom 3. it's not a real shotgun. real shotguns go boom and are satisfying.

according to an LP i'm watching, the shotgun from the 2013 shadow warrior remake is a sad turd of a weapon

what do you think is a bigger threat to the future health of shotgun gaming: cover shooters with regenerating health that encourages players to engage enemies from far away or senran kagura

My first sexual experience was firing the upgraded shotgun in resident evil 2.

Shotguns in Max Payne 3 are among the most satisfying. Especially in slo mo.

The Shotgun was good in the SNES rendition of Jurassic Park as well; I found it disappointing that the designers felt the need to make a dart gun more powerful than a shotgun, though

I died many times to T Rex due to my shotgun stubbornness

Go back to general rocket poo poo. This thread is for real guns that don't need any weakass post-firing acceleration assistance to be effective.

yea it's true, but it's more about the aesthetic of an rear end in a top hat with a shotgun and a big lumberjack beard going around loving poo poo up that makes it the best playthrough - the game is short enough that novelty playthroughs don't get too boring

the flak cannon is the best shotgun even better than the doom one.

also the duke nukem 3d shotgun feels like it has so much weight behind it

I prefer the Q3/QL nailgun to the Flak Cannon in a few ways, and yes it includes more than just that it's in Quake instead of UT.

flak cannon's secondary was basically a grenade launcher. shotgun + grenade launcher it really is hard to beat that. plus you could ricochet the shrapnel.

The Ballistic Fist in New Vegas was originally supposed to take shotgun shells as ammunition; it's really hard to get unarmed weapons to take ammunition in that game though. IIRC Fallout Tactics did this though

The slow-mo sawed off shotgun reload animation in Max Payne 2 is the best reload animation in gaming. The camera spins around Max showing off his cool grizzled guy trenchcoat and he does not reload the weapon.

since everyone mentioned all the other good shotguns, i gotta mention the AA12 in spec ops: the line. it was so drat OP, i guess it was loaded with slugs or just had a super tight grouping because it had really good range and would even shred guys in armor
