doom is so far removed from modern fps its silly to even include it. the shotgun is LITERALLY the poster boy for "shoot 10 feet, gun is useless", except you run at like 90 fucking miles per hour in doom so nothing is EVER more then 10 feet away. every shotgun feels good is you can cover a city block in eye blinks

the DT system makes pellets all but useless against armoured targets but slugs just completely invalidate that

Throw in GRA's pulse slugs and even the lever shotgun is smoking every robot enemy in the game
>>
Marathon 2
Double-wielding SxS lever-operated sawnoffs is that game's equivalent to Doom's BFG.
>>
>>735071389
That's because you suck.
You can easily get lever action shotgun since level 1 by picking it up from ash piles north of east pump station along with black combat armor. Repair it and use it until you unlock saw-off and hunting shotgun or you can simply stealth kill one of guards in Gamorrah and get riot shotgun. Leveling in FNV is also piss easy. You can easily rush to level 6 to get Shotgun Surgeon along with Cowboy perks, and get all implants in clinic without any problems.
Normal buckshots are ass against armored enemies, but slugs, pulse ammo, and magnum rounds even things out. Pair that with at least 8 luck (crits), at least 7 agility (for faster reloads and more points in guns skill), 1st recon beret, Finesse perk, Shotgun Surgeon perk, Better Criticals perk, and And Stay Back perk, and you're set.

You have to be absolute moron to suck at building characters in FNV.
>>
>>735071538
But you don't get a decent supply of anything besides standard ammo until you are late enough in the game to have acquired shotgun perks and ammo crafting perks. I'm agreeing with everything you said besides "smooth progression".
>>
>>735071749
Are you retarded? Read my post again and pay attention to the word "until". You are aggressively agreeing with me.
>>
>>735071809
Slugs are 3 caps a round friendo, and aside from right at the start you can get them in decent quantities from traders

You don't even need them at the start though, regular shells will kill any powder ganger or gecko that crosses your path
>>
>>735071809
Bullshit. 20G and 12G are common ammo and are very cheap. If you level repair, you can always convert to another ammo type with reload benches.
>>735071868
Even before getting shotgun perks you'll do fine with shotgun. You got skill issues.
>>
>>735069557
Counter Strike’s TTK is so low that shotguns feel as powerful as IRL. Obviously the accuracy isn’t so realistic but the effect it would have on someone either being hit with the full shell or just a few balls is probably pretty on point to real life

You guys got weirdly defensive about the wrong thing. I fucking love shotgun builds in that game. They are not a smooth progression though. They go from "literally anything else would work better in this situation" weapons to godslayers over the course of like 4 levels. The first trader who sells slugs is in Novac and you don't see a ton of shotgun ammo before then. The "progression" flatlines until level 6 and then fucking skyrockets after that

More game guns need multiple shot types that you can swap between on the fly.
Since devs refuse to let buckshot do anything beyond ten meters, let me put in some slugs or a frag round at my leisure (and not just at a respawn loadout screen).

The concept of a shotgun in video games is a weapon that is "high risk high reward", you need to approach the enemy very closely to deal maximum damage. Any game that violates this principle is forsaking the entire point of the existence of the shotgun in games, a shotgun that doesn't do enough damage or that can be used effectively from too great a distance is vidya heresy, it offends our deepest sensibilities.
>>
>>735077314
Shotguns are only close range weapons because a 2D screen is terrible for representing 3D depth and range. You can realistically blast shit apart at 50 yards with 000 and 00 buck, but actually showing a target 50 yards away in a video game looks like sniping distance.

Actually when someone is killed by a shotgun then the body should lose a limb or two, splat 500 liters of blood everywhere, be sent flying, bounce off the walls and roof multiple times, rotate around for a while after finally landing on the floor (still splurting blood out) and then a wilhelm scream should play.
