Mention your favorite weapon, skill or anything, that despite getting something arguably better, you still used either due to its looks, some kind of sentimental/symbolic value, or because they were still useful even in later parts in the game.
I couldn't find an image, but I loved the Double Crescent Blades that Talim had in Soul Calibur II. They had no glaring weaknesses, and the damage output during Soul Charge was good. Also, Working Pants for Bowser in Super Mario RPG. His later shells increased defense, but Bowser still had high enough defense to not worry about that, and the attack bonus that the Pants had was welcome.

I wish stalker had more than 1 SMG, I really like the kind of movement in combat SMGs encourage and the vanilla game has no options in the weapon class. Mods tend to drastically change how weapons feel and none really make SMGs more interesting or fun from what I've experienced despite often adding more.

In Breath of the Wild, there was this one Royal Claymore that always respawned every blood moon. The one located on top of the Woodland Tower that's very easy to get. That plus the unbreakable Master Sword were my go-to weapons in that game.

GAN02-NSS-WBS, or the spread bazooka in ACFA. It's easy to get by doing the early ranked matches, and it hits like a truck. I would just churn through rank after rank with it by staying as close as possible to enemies and just drowning them in hits. It's not a flexible or convenient weapon in every situation, but it'll take down anything it connects with, and it doesn't require you to be attached to their hip like the blades do. It's also just plain fun to shoot things with a rocket launching shotgun.

>Hafted Blade
This is the best mounted weapon in the game because its the longest polearm you can swing sideways on horseback. This makes it unrealistically good because if you swing a polearm while charging in real life it will snap in half, but since Mountain Blade weapons don't break it gives you the ability to put a lot of sideways distance between you and your target which makes it impossible for them to hit you, even with a really long lance (since they have to stab with it).
Its also great for sieges because you can stand behind the front line of your dudes and swing overhead endlessly, making it even better for defending than a warbow with infinite arrows because you can attack much faster.

In Parasite Eve, there's one weapon combo that pretty much assures that you can beat the game with relative ease:
-MP5K (or the other MP5 variant. I just know where the MP5K is)
- A Burst mod from a shotgun ( Allows you to shoot in cone emanating from the guns barrel onto multiple enemies)
-A 1st mod (Allows you to shoot or do any action first, which means your action bar is at full at the beginning of a battle most of the time)
-A Double Action mod (Allows you to do two actions in one turn instead of one. You can shoot twice, heal/buff yourself twice, or heal and buff yourself with one turn instead of needing two turns to do that).
If you put your Bonus points into this setup's attack and range when you get it on the third day and take some other weapons' points by using tools, it'll become a beast before the last day. Hell, it'll become broken even before you finish the 5th day (although you have to wait until the end of the 5th day to get the double action mod).

The only thing I wished for these guns was a version that shot 2 rounds instead of 1 or 3. 2 is enough of a follow-up that it still is powerful, but gives you the assurance of a hit. Though, I will admit, being able to "smear" your shot with Halo 2's battle rifle was kinda nice.

I will now explain why Fw 190A is the best flying machine. It's very fast and sturdy. While not a good turner, it performs well as an energy fighter. Excellent roll rate, while not necessarily an advantage that is easy to exploit, makes flying the plane fun. The engine is air cooled and therefore less vulnerable than liquid cooled engines.
The 190 has multiple weapon loadout options, including bombs, optional cannon sets, (shitty) rockets and a drop tank. The wing root MG151/20s alone will kill most opponents, though. For a really fun cocktail, pick e.g. the A5 model and you'll have 2 different cannon sets plus two machine guns, each with different rate of fire, bullet drop, destructive power and muzzle velocity. The result is an auto shotgun barrage which is difficult to evade without a single hit.
The cockpit visibility is good, and instruments are easy to read. Instead of nigger feet, the altimeter reads meters. Instead of nigger mph or knots, the airspeed indicator reads km/h.
Also the swastika in the tail fin looks nice. Note that if it's a game where you can't mod or skin the swastika in, it's not worth playing.

I also like it when they're really unwieldy, not just in slowing your movement and taking awhile to wind up but also messing with your aiming. The only game I know that does this is EDF, if you move the camera while firing it will slowly accelerate in the direction you're aiming rather than moving there linearly, and it doesn't stop when you let go so it gives aiming a sense of momentum.
