Author Topic: Rant on some of the Modern Blockland Weapons  (Read 6019 times)

I never liked hands, some people don't understand that this is a lego game. One handed weapon holding is natural.



There's always the alternative when using legos.

That would look kinda odd though walking around.

I think the problem with hand placement is that people try to show the whole weapon and thats why the hands look stretched.

Im gonna use the first pic in this topic as an example.


See how the Stock of the gun is shown in front of the player? Maybe if people moved the gun back a bit so the stock was behind the player's shoulder the hands wouldn't stretch.

As for the coloured hands, i don't have too much of a problem with them, but when Rykuta made that L4D2 weapon-set did he not account for 2 black people in the game?

all non default weapons (except Kaje's shotgun) are stuffty

Hands are perfectly okay with me, it shows that the creator put some time into making the weapon.
However, I really do prefer reloading animations. It's better to have a good guess on how long the reloading will take.
For iron sights, I like that as well because it changes combat entirely. Snipers, at least need ADS so you don't have a huge gun covering half your screen when you shoot.
Also, how can you say the arms are stretched when blockheads don't even have arms?

Hands don't take much. Not that hard to add a hand and hide nodes. The gun doesn't cover your screen sights cover more. All the things you like on a weapon are just awful (animationss are debatable).

I guess hands are personal preference. I like them on weapons that seem larger than the blockhead though.

i honestly just look at how powerfully awesome it is and couldn't care less about nitpicky things like hands or animations

it's couldn't care less
"could care less" implies you care and actually give a stuff


i agree wholeheartedly with the op

I agree with you that hands look extremely stupid. But when it comes to fitting the block style, your weapons suck.

This isn't a topic to judge our weapons, also they look classic Blockland style to me.

that is the topic dumb baby

I like how you made a topic about weapons not fitting for blockheads, then used your high-poly over-detailed non-default styled weapon as a 'good' example.

Different pictures due to many people complaining over model I used.
