Backwards guns?

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 1:25 pm

Why are all the guns in Boston left-handed models...? Were all right-handed people exiled before the war?

Yeah, as a real life gun nut, it was something I brought up right after the E3 demo. It's merely a gimmick to show the "sixy" side of the weapon. I hate it, and the reload animation is ludicrous.

Its done in many games so the player can visibly see themselves reloading so they have a visual cue the gun actually did reload.

Counter Strike is largely responsible for this trend.

The Laser Rifle is optimized for right handed use.

CSS is the most played FPS ever, so I guess they would disgaree.

I don't have any feelings one way or another myself.

I'm something of a "gun nut" myself. I actually sell firearms for a living.

So yeah, I can appreciate that it's annoying to see.

On the other hand, while SOME of Fallout's weapons are based on real-life weapons, they aren't real-life weapons. They're post-apocalyptic sci-fi weapons.

Maybe the alternate history 1950s world that Fallout takes place in designed weapons with ejection ports, bolts, and charging handles on the left-hand side because, why not?

Because using a gun with your left hand when you're a righty, shows how awesome you are!

Cool.

FO3 and FONV chambered things properly, so maybe its just showcasing that they just do things all bassackwards in Boston and the northeast.

For anyone offended...I'm joking!

I dunno if they all are, but the hunting rifle sure is annoying.

I hope that this is something you can alter at workbench when putting mods on your weapon.

Or hopefully a mod will emerge. But, that may require new animations. And as I recall, I think reload animations are a pain to do. Maybe those animations exist in the game somewhere. Certainly not everything is left hand chambered?

CoD:MW3 is the best-selling FPS ever made. Should Fallout 4 try to emulate it?

It is a sinister plot to allow Players to slather burn lotion on the chests of Their characters...

Aloe is typically found at the center of most plots.

As long as it can still kill a raider/feral ghoul/super mutant/other mutated creature, then I'm good with it.

Maybe part of the time line splitting from ours made lefties the dominant group and righthanded people are now in the minority?

Or something idk.
