Top 10 Biggest Open World Games EVER 

Best starter weapon? I'd say the pistol from halo 1. Me and my friends used to snipe each other across blood gulch with that thing

The best starter weapon in a game has to be the plasma cutter from Dead Space

Best starter weapon must be the Plasma Cutter from Dead Space - A few upgrades and enough ammo & you can (if you wish) rock it until the end! Cheers Jules!

Best starter weapon, hear me out: using the chain in Road Rash II. Getting one early on enough in a run was game changing. Tell them Jules, you massive ledge! ⛓️‍💥

The taser in syphon filter. Unlimited use and somehow setting the enemy on fire still counts as a stealth kill.

Best starter weapon is the wrench from bioshock, what a legend!

Best starter weapon has to be the Plasma Cutter from Dead Space (1 or 2). It's so good you don't need any other weapons to complete the game, and that's all you want/need from the weapon you start with in a survival horror game.

The wrench in Bio Shock is surprisingly powerful and useful.

Can we get a list of games where you can upgrade your Starter Weapon to be one of, if not the best weapon in the game?

The lesson that should be taken from almost all of these games though is that curated is always more interesting than procedurally created.

Logged on and a brand new FGS video from Jules just posted, gotta say, it’s gonna be a good day.

Best starter weapon? Crowbar from Half Life.

Best starter weapon is the Hidden Blade in most Assassin's Creed games.

Lyns Mani Kata (may have spelled it wrong) from fire emblem for gba. You get it in the introduction tutorial section and it is a legendary weapon with a boosted crit rate, which makes lyn a power house

The best starting weapon (and the only one we had) I ever met were the grenades from Ant Attack... in an era of only two axis games, a weapon that can fall to lower levels to obliterate giant ants was really amazing

The Ascent. It's just a bog standard, twin stick shooter, but the city feels huge. Uber detailed too.

The 10mm pistol from the fallout series definitely has to be up there, especially fallout 4’s version you can take that from the vault straight to the end game with the right perks and mods

I am surprised that the Stanton System from Star Citizen didn't make the cut. There are 4 planets (2 of which are fully explorable), 12 moons (all of which are fully explorable) and 24 space stations. Hurston alone has a surface area of at least 1.76×10^7 Km^2 (square Kilometers) in game, and in lore that is suppose to be closer to 1.77×10^9 Km^2 (That is twice the size of the earth). The 12 moons have in game surface areas averaging 1.04×10^6 Km^2 and none of that is counting travel between spatial bodies. You can actually travel at sub light speeds from the surface of one planet to another. The Stanton system (The first implemented system) is 4,761,848 Km across. Though I suppose it may have been left out because it is still technically in an Alpha state.

The best starter weapon is the wrench from Ratchet and Clank. It’s consistently the starter for every game and it’s forever reliable.

The weapon that got me through my first fromsoftware game and the previous hardest boss ever, saw cleaver! No weapon I ever started a game with before or after has been the only weapon I’ve used from start to finish. How I love thee saw cleaver

Mercs on Sega has gotta be in the running for best starter weapon. It features an upgrade system and while the weapon sucks at level 1 in comparison to any other weapon you can pick up, if you upgrade it it powers up way faster and grows way more powerful than the others

I have to make a vanity suggestion for best starting weapon: the pistol in "SiN Episodes: Emergence." First shot on each trigger is 100% accurate and fires depleted uranium shells as an alt fire so it acts like a railgun.

For best starter weapons in general, my mind goes to Bloodborne. Your Hunter has the choice between the Hunter's Axe, Saw Cleaver, and Threaded Cane. While the Saw Cleaver is iconic, and I have a personal soft spot for the Threaded Cane, the reach and swing of the Hunter's Axe makes it ideal for players new to Fromsoft's particular flavor of gameplay. I'm sure other hunters swear by their Saw Cleavers, and you're not wrong if you rate it higher than the Axe - as I said, the Cane's my weapon of choice, for style if nothing else. However, if I were talking to someone thinking about playing Bloodborne for the first time who had never touched a Dark Souls game and knew nothing of the Lands Between, I'd tell them to pick the Hunter's Axe and watch their step as they entered Yharnam. A Hunter, after all, must hunt.

For me, the best starter weapon is your trusty pistol from any resident evil game. Sure, you get a lot of better weapons, but you always go back and use the pistol the most. 😁

Best starter weapon is clearly the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy 7, arguably the most iconic in gaming history. The only other thing that I can think of that comes close to it would be the crowbar in Half Life.

If we accept the justification for Cyberpunk's inclusion, we can include a ton of different games... Red Dead Redemption 2, Zelda BotW & TotK, & Fallout: New Vegas come to mind...

Best starting weapon - Leon's handgun Re4 (2005) made by Robert Kendo with a maximum power of 6.5 there's no greater way to start a game than popping off heads with this bad boy like you're popping an egg in a pan

Yes! I've got hundreds of hours in No Man's Sky. It's so great. As for best starter weapons, how about the Master Sword?

fun fact: "amazing feat" of microsoft flight simulator 2020 has nothing to do with microsoft itself since it was developed by outsource studio - team asobo of plague tale series fame. its kinda funny how their best games are time and time again not theirs. and all they can do inhouse is paid mods for starfield.

Hey fgs - what about the most in-depth/realistic/comprehensive simulator games “OF ALL TIME!”? I’m all seriousness, thanks for your positive messages of mental health. It personally means a lot to hear that from someone on an almost daily basis, even if I don’t personally know you. Cheers

The best starter weapon? Thats a tough question but from recent memory... The Loverboy from Ion Fury.

I would have down voted if Elite and EVE weren't in this. As for a starting weapon, gotta go with the knife in the og RE4. That thing made sure I never got close to running out of ammo.

Gotta include plasma cutter from dead space and pistol from halo 1 for best starter weapons

Best starting weapon - the pistol Deus Ex (2000)

Best starter weapon, and a deep cut, Desert Strike, or if I am allowed two, 688 Attack Sub

Best starter weapon is the pistol from Halo CE!!!

The best starter weapon is Redemption, Dante’s sword

It's a early access guys I'm sure it will get better with time

Best starter weapons bloodborne saw cleaver and shotgun.

What about "nock off" games that added feature you wish you had in the original. IE palworld adding things pokemon fans wished for.

Don't play Elite Dangerous on console BTW

Best starter weapons 1. Hidden blade, assassins creed 2. God of War: Blades of chaos and The axe in God of War 4.

Bayonetta twin guns, you keep these throughout. 22. Tony hawks underground 1& 2: You skate, gain a career and whack people with it.

Minecraft is ugly. We need a Minecraft 2 with decent graphics.

Best starter weapon in any game? In Blade and Sorcery that'd be MY OWN BODY. I am an unstoppable machine of mayhem and terror without a single thing in my hands. This technically applies to Asura's Wrath as well. The man bodies half the universe with just his knuckles.

half life crowbar. period (yes it required a double period)

Best starter weapon in video games would have to be the Blades of Chaos in the God of War. It's THE weapon(s) in the game and you get them from the very beginning.
