What kind of combat style would you prefer to play?

Probably going to be using my favourite combo of all time, Sniper & Shotgun.

 

Depends on the game, really, and how the combat mechanics are implemented. I'm not really into shooters, but I do like using spells and ranged weapons in games where they are implemented well - like the guns/bows in Terraria and bows in Demon's Souls.

Not knowing how Starbound will be gameplay-wise, it's hard to say, but if both kinds of weapons are implemented as well as in Terraria, I'll probably be using both.

 

Depends, of course. Have two presets in mind.

1. Dedicated melee. With sword or two swords or something like that.
2. Dedicated "spellcaster", with various energy weapons, suited for different tasks. If suitable — AoE specialist.

Thing I am least interested in is expendable ammo / weapons, like arrows, bullets, shurikens and bombs. Just don't like it, never liked it anywhere, always stick to "endless ammo" variety, be it melee or regenerable mana.

But then again, who knows.

 

This made me LoL

You see what I did there?

Just as long if it doesn't include "Magic"

 

Why did you do it?
Anyway they better allow us to have hand to hand kombat.
So I can re-create MORTAL KOMBAT!

 

I'm maining myself to Katana X Pistol since it's been a concept in my head for like 3459 years. Covers my close and midrange I'd imagine. Considering Snipers as a long range if they exist in the fashion I hope them to.

Also considering to fall back to every other blade known to man and Starbound as backups. No biggie.

 

A revolver and a katana will be enough for me =P

 

I rather not go hand-to-hand with enemies. I'd rather be sitting back sending my minions off to fight for me :u that's how lazy I am

 

I love every range weapon, so ... I hope for bows, guns ... just cool.

 

A lazer-edged Katana, and a revolver with a bullet making module(Uses battery power of course). Two Pasts, two futures.

 

I would like to see them implement a combo system, so you can create your own unique style of fighting based on your choice of weapons.

 

Any melee that lets me fight Castlevania style. But for a ranged attack, a flamethrower

 

forget minions
too many variables with living things
army of robots is the way to go

and I will command them
from a giant robot throne

 

Pistol and sword. What you can't reach with your blade you can put a bullet into.

 

Guns, guns, gunssss! And because of my rather umm... ambitious combat style, I'll probably be out of Ammo after 3 mins. so I'll go with swords as my secondary

 

I'll go with a close range commando sorta guy. Close range weaponry and a gun if I happen to need it.

 

Ranged. Killing a guy miles away and him never knowing who it was

 

Close-combat with really fast weapons or a sniper has always been my type of combat style ^_^

 

All about mobility for me! The enemy's health, attack, and defense are meaningless if one never gets hit!

 

it is also meaningless to get hit if they are hitting a robot and not you
you know because they are cannon fodder
before me everyone is cannon fodder
mwahahahaha
