One Shots: Diet lightsabers

    
36

I think it’s about high time we got a Star Wars game in which lightsabers functioned properly as instruments that could melt or slice through almost anything. Instead, we’re often given these PG-rated light shows in which foes are tickled to death by neon flashlights. Where are all the limbs being sliced off left and right?

If it was good enough for Obi-Wan, it’s good enough for the rest of us, is all I’m saying.

Hirku leads the charge this week on delivering action poses that show the ferocity and drive of our characters, maligning the patheticness of SWTOR’s Force Choke. And if you weren’t using a diet lightsaber, you might have even killed that man.

Ralpha the Wonder Llama mailed this one in: “Warframe has a pair of cinematic quests that are just amazing, ‘The Second Dream’ and ‘The War Within.’ I took a lot of screenshots as I made my way through the quest-line, but most of them contain spoilers. Out of all the screenshots I took, I though this one looked sufficiently ‘fierce’ and spoiler free. This is my Valkyr Prime warframe powering up for the final battle in ‘The War Within.’ Spoiler Alert: We won!”

Here Hikari comes to save the day — and in Champions Online, no less!

“Might as well show Steel Girl from CO as well,” Hikari said. “Her armors in CoH were much more Rescue/IronMan-esque but when she got portal shot to CO during the CoH cataclysm (shutdown) she had to make due with materials on hand and made a backpack suit.”

Of course, if you want to look like you mean business while wearing a dress, Rafael graciously will show you the ropes.

“Here is my Gunner Haliee in Blade and Soul dealing with some crazy Pot Dogs. For you Nier-ologists out there, that’s a 2B inspired dress, similar to the one soon to be in FFXIV’s YoRHa Apocalypse.”

Speaking of FFXIV, at least some characters know well enough to read the script before they starting acting!

“Nothing says ‘I mean business’ like opening up a book and throwing some harsh words around,” said Vincent, five seconds before said book and its holder were incinerated by a giant fireball.

Let’s move from “fierce” to “tranquil” with this week’s screenshot challenge. Share with us a picture and your thoughts of a place or setting in an MMO that makes you feel completely tranquil and relaxed!
