the Walloper off ratchet and clank 1 comes to mind.

Big ass mechanic glove comes into mine.
Space marine style.

Also something that shocks a target, touch them to shock them.

 

Hehehe..that would work as well.
As for elemental damage, they could learn from Borderlands.

 

In tiy's latest live stream he shows off a bunch of melee weapons (tier 1 melee weapon for each race)

EDIT: the second link is to the melee weapons one and he shows them off near the end

 

that ones not a weapon its the handle for all the weapons in the pic though i do wish we could use the stick

 

WOW that stick looks powerful!!!!

 

Yes. I will carry it everywhere. And I will speak softly while doing so.

 

I see what you did there.

 

I just want a Giant Broadsword. I will Carry it over my Shoulder and Brood the entire time i cut things.

 

That stick...
It's the last item there, so clearly it must be the most powerful of those weapons.

 

its will be more powerful than the wooden swords of terraria

 

That's...
That's...
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. NOTHING IS STRONGER THAN THE DAMN OP WOODEN SWORDS OF TERRARIA.

 

I don't think we really need a melee weapons demo. I mean, there's nothing to it!
It's just "Press X to swing your weapon". Nothing more.

 

Swinging has more nuances than you shall ever know.

 

Yeah, I agree. It would be cool to have pictures but I don't really watch any of the videos. I'd rather wait for the game to come out and then see them, it's more exciting that way

EDIT: We'll be left-clicking, not pressing X. That would be weird.

 

I was using X as a variable, not an actual bind.
As for your comment on videos, I usually just watch the demos, not the streams. The streams are much too lengthy.

 

Shark, if you think about it, Guns didn't need a demo either, you just point and click. We want to see what kinds of melee weapons there are,
like if it does a forward stab, a swing over your shoulder, or you jab in the direction of your mouse.

 

Well, depending on how indepth the devs want to go with the guns. There can be demos. Even for the really basic things, such as how the guns sound and fire. There's also the whole dual wielding situation and how that will be treated.
