>A john wick game

Then I would have to stat him in shadowrun but I never play games with retarded systems

Is Shadowrun a John Wick game?

CotV could do it if you actually ran the melee system as intended, but it'd be combining an autistic martial arts sim with an autistic gunfighting sim. The recurring problem is that it's better like 100% of the time to just shoot people in games like this, there's almost no scenario in which you'd actually do the sort of stuff Wick does in the movies because if you can grapple a nigger you can shoot him in the face just as easily.

On the other hand, there's nothing to actually stop you from doing it either if that's just how you like doing stuff stylistically. Engage in melee, grapple, melee-shoot. Or grapple, throw, melee shoot. Trip, melee shoot, etc. The thing is it's never actually "better" to do any of that than to just avoid melee altogether and shoot the guy twice, and nobody who isn't John Wick is going to charge YOU in melee if they have a gun, so you'd have to be the one to engage every time.

I really liked the first one, but there were a few things about the second one that kinda upset me, in that I don't love Excessive violence, and the scenes where he excruciatingly kills the other assassins crossed that line for me. In the same way that that webm from the fighting game where girl A breaks all girl B's bones did.

I'm torn on how you'd do this.

Like, on one hand, I feel like a lot of the "feeling" you'd want to get from a John Wick game would be being tactical as fuck. To emulate that, I'd want a super crunchy system with a bajillion subsystems of different rules for both shooting and grappling that are capable of interacting and relatively balanced.

The thing is, those kinds of systems are generally an unplayable mess, and flipping through a rulebook for half a session isn't going to make me feel like a super-assassin.

So on the other hand you have the whole genre of "rules-light, fluff it however you want" games like Feng Shui (or even some supers systems, as long as you keep it low-powered), but the problem there is that there's a big difference between:

>"I use <rules reference> from <distance away> giving me a <bonus> against his <weakness> and apply my <different bonus> from my shooting stance which interacts with my <terrain-based bonus> then grapple him with my <some kind of melee specialty> before firing again <applying some sort of other bonus>"

and

>"I'm going to roll this with <X> dice pool an also apply some other system-specific things to it"

and then just describing all of that happening. Like, I'd feel a whole hell of a lot cooler with the first example than the second one (for the record, both of those examples are pulled out of my ass and I'm not talking about any specific systems here), but I have yet to find a system that can provide that without also being a dense, retarded mess.

I feel like John Wick *wants* to be a super crunchy, rules-heavy game, but there aren't any that I think I'd actually have fun playing.
