Melee will always be more fun than ranged.

Shot gun > revolvers >M16 > rest

well, you're not wrong. as long as it's not some stupid shit game where your shotgun is only effective at 10 yards

Shotguns are cool, but I have always had a thing for smgs. But they are almost always Worse than than shotguns in glose combat, and Worse than rifles in mid range

Nah, popping someone up and airshotting them is far more satisfying than the visceral gore of a shotgun.

They were until bioshock 2 introduced the concept a of a rocket harpoon, i have yet to find a more fun gun

Almost bought nudoom today.
Real proud of me self.

Gunfag dicklets will NEVER know the satisfaction of overpowering your foe with sheer brute strength rather than relying on toys.

Shotguns are super satisfying to use, Rifles too when you're getting headshots.

Look at it this way, they are better than shotguns in mid-range combat, and better than rifles in close-range combat.

I think they're good in games with moderate TTK just because of what they represent.

Compare the significance and purpose of the shotgun in Doom to say, Call of Duty where you'll die pretty quickly from anything.

>use a shotgun
>depend entirely on ammunition for the weapon

Why do games always get this wrong?

shotguns are the highest risk/reward, so they're usually satisfying by default
>you need to get in close, unlike pussy-ass rifles and railguns
>you need to be careful with your ammo usage, generally low ammo capacity
>low fire rate, so you open yourself up to a lot of damage if you miss
>shitloads of damage instantly
>usually gib enemies, which has an amplified effect when you're close unlike rocket launchers which punish you for getting in close
