Most spears didnt have rounded spikes so you could still slash with them. Using the pole to whack people with was also common. They're more like bladed staffs than anything else.

Yeah, but you're talking about real spears, this is about videogame spears.

It's not only spears, but the spears is very realistic in Just Dance. Only has the Britney kind, though.

Playing Morrowind with the "use optimal attack" switched off did offer variety even if thrust was by and far best

thrust, sure fine. It's okay.

Ineffective bonk or thwack? embarassing. humiliating. Just plain silly.

Tossing the whole damn spear? Amazing. Doubly so when you land a headshot.

BUT WHEN YOU COUCH THAT LANCE

Crossing your halberd with your bro gives the best "you shall not pass" energy.

I actually go for spears or other polearms whenever possible, they are way cooler than swords to me.

Dude doesn't even recognize the fact that you can still attack with a spear while your shield is raised in blocking position. 🤦‍♂️

I love Spectral Lance in Elden Ring. Turn any spear into a throwable weapon.

They are the sword of the peasant. Cheaper, easier to use and better in large formations.

Reminds me of lance in monster hunter world, it's literally just thrust over and over again. I will never understand people that like it (yes, the charge is kinda cool)

I find the movement awkward, i tried it in mh4u and mhw and both time even with the movement tweak by the dev, it just didn't feel right to me that i dodge backward where i facing.

This pisses me off fuck fuck fuck, you know how when you were younger you would try doing cool tricks with a long stick? Imagine that but with a spear, spin thrust throw block defend ughhh I'm gonna kill you anon

The spear is the only other weapon that will damage the Mana Beast in Secret of Mana other than using the spells to awaken the Mana Sword.

I've been trying a throwing spears only challenge in New Vegas... it isn't going well. Spears suuuuuuuck in NV.

Did they came from Nier by any chance? That, previous and following games have a hard veiny imbalance for long pointy objects.
