Seriously, look at this goddamn thing. Look at the spiny, menacing frontloader. Look at those (4!) sockets waiting to be filled. Look at all that blue text. I never even knew what half that stuff did when I was younger, but I didn't care. This crossbow basically defines why loot-based ARPGs are the best video game genre of all time. Put that poo poo on your Amazon and go from struggling to clear Pandemonium Fortress on Hell difficulty to effortlessly murdering ubers, freezing most monsters before they even have a chance to look at you. Watch as a single Guided Arrow rips through an entire screen of cows, each of them vomiting up gold and loot. The Buriza has fortunately survived into D3 and is a pretty beastly weapon there as well, but nothing will ever truly compare to the stat porn D2's version provides. And as most anyone will tell you, this is only a pretty good Buriza. Later that year I started getting into Phantasy Star Online, which had a similarly amazing (and widely hacked) equivalent, the SPREAD NEEDLE.  Like the Buriza-Do Kyanon, this poo poo would also clear out a room in two hits, most likely angering all the other players who were in your group and never got to hit the monster. It even shot out little jagged projectiles and had innate piercing. Unlike the Buriza though, it lacked the copious discharge of blue text, which in my mind makes it slightly inferior. I never owned a legit version of this gun; it was incredibly rare to find in PSO unless you were hacking, which almost everyone was. Still, I'm glad the Spread Needle existed, and I have to believe its creation was influenced at least in part by some Sonic Team developer playing his D2 Burizon and thinking "aha yes, this is extremely my poo poo." Fun fact: "Buriza-Do Kyanon" is named after how a Japanese person might attempt to pronounce "Blizzard Cannon." Yes, that's literally what it means. Anyways, the Buriza owns and I hope you all agree.

Yeah, I love this weapon from Diablo 2 (or in japanese, "regendurary sheet gammu') that I've never heard of before. Gas.

I remember it but I don't remember it having 4 sockets. I put 2 shael runes in the one I found iirc. Anyway, I don't know if an obscure item in a 15 year old game is going to sustain a whole thread, but uhh good luck.

Alright you motherfuckers. Look at this glorious rear end weapon. Not only is it rear end blastingly badass, it will also blast your dead moms pussy off with awesome rays you dick making GBS threads rear end in a top hat! gently caress you! This video game weapon is the number one weapon of all time.

Nothing like grabbing a super-rare redbox weapon only for it to be completely useless because you needed a Hit % roll to connect with anything on Ultimate+.

Sizup posted:wasn't windforce better and rune word bows better then both Yes, unless you were a glass-cannon bowazon, then with 4 15ias/20%dmg gems you could do more. It was incredibly niche, and all the other good bows were easier to find, and didn't need anywhere near the support to accomplish it. Even with hacks/dupes/d2jsp it was super rare to put together an "optimal" glass-cannon. Plus it had a long history of being the best bow before rune words or jewels were a thing.

Crossbows are slow as hell in d2 and other games. Only reason buriza was good was it had 100% piercing which was crazy when paired with guided arrows. I liked them in mount and blade because you didn't need good archery skill to use them well.

The game was originally developed with no storyline, and Eno kept the story sequences a secret even from the other members of WARP. When the game was finished, he submitted a "clean" version (i.e. without the violent and disturbing story content of the complete version) for approval. He deliberately submitted the master late, knowing that part of the penalty was that he would have to deliver it by hand to the manufacturers in the USA. While on the plane ride to the USA, he switched the phony "clean" discs with the finalized discs, thus completely bypassing all censorship.
