Media and recarm were amazing for me. Mediarahan and recarmdra were also eye-opening skills in the series but I forgot which demon first had them.

>pikehammers/grandmaces/mauls over halberds/axes
Yes.

>hammers/maces over hatchets
Maybe.

>clubs/staves over swords (any length)
No.

>blackjacks over knives
Situational.

Basically larger size = allowing easier use of a weapon's sheer weight as opposed to relying on a correctly-aimed blade cleave, otherwise sharper is better if going for easy handling.

Spears and javelins are still the best.

Depends on who is using it and what the target is wearing. It doesn't take much strength or skill to poke somebody with a pointy object, but an equally long blunt weapon will be much heavier. However, it gets much harder to use said pointy object to kill a person in rigid armor because you have to hit parts of him that are less protected. A blunt weapon's effectiveness, while lessened by many armors, will not be affected as strongly as a blade.

Swords and shields have been used to great effect by a number of cultures, most notably the Romans, but by themselves swords (besides greatswords, which effectively are polearms, and some types of cavalry) tend to be a sidearm. You can more or less comfortably wear a sword so they can be used in civilian life, and ability to wear a sword makes them a good choice as a backup weapon, whether your primary weapon is a polearm, a bow or a gun. That's how samurai used them as well: their primary weapons of war were bows (yumi), spears (yari), polearms (naginata) or arquebuses (tanegashima). Swords have been incredibly prevalent throughout history in pretty much all cultures, but you have to understand they tend not to be the primary weapon of war (at least without a shield).

In relation to blunt weapons, it depends on the context. Clubs and truncheons and such like have been used since forever but if you think of weapons of war since metallurgy, they have rarely been the weapon of choice for historical combatants given a choice between the two. A sword is more nimble (weight might be similar but balance is not), it's longer, many types of sword offer better hand-protection and in unarmoured combat swords deal more immediately incapacitating injuries. Plus, it's easier to carry. In unarmoured context sword holds pretty much all of the advantages. In terms of armoured combat, cuts from a sword are rendered completely ineffective and while there are armoured fighting techniques with a sword (using them as a lever wrestling the opponent, targeting gaps in armour), you start seeing percussive weapons like war hammers, maces and various polearms like the poleaxe. In armoured 1vs1 fighting on foot, the poleaxe tends to be the king. In terms of one-handed weapons, swords (using said half-swording techniques) and maces (and an occasional war hammer, although at least in Europe they were mostly cavalry weapons) were both used.

Is God Eater better?

I'd recommend SoC, mostly because I've played through it more than I have CoP.

Consult this Starting Guide,
then see the /vg/'s huge Stalker General for more tips and links: >>>/vg/stalker

Play in the release order. Start with no mods - only latest patch, OR get the full "Starter Pack" first; these contain bug-fixers and light visual mods that can help performance as well.
Leave big overhauls for later playthrougs. Avoid the "Complete" -mods. Always play on MASTER difficulty for best realism and atmosphere, and disable crosshair.

Don't give up in the beginning! The starting gear sucks ass and first area can be a bit boring.

Newfags shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Sonic. Especially Classic Sonic.

GTA 2 is the only one worth playing

The only relevant one is IV, I'd give that a Bowling/10

I'm just saying it's technicalyl like watching the developer herself being fucked.

>>389631285
