What makes for a better shooter:

· · Web · 5 · 5 · 6

@alyx@gameliberty.club Good games have a combination of these systems, like TF2.

For example, you can shoot someone with the Sniper's Huntsman and pin their ragdoll to the wall. But you can also blow someone up with the Demo's grenade launcher and they'll explode into gibs.

@SuperDicq
Yes, a lot of games have both. But in such cases which system adds more to the game. Dead Space has both systems, but it wouldn't be Dead Space if you couldn't gib off arms and legs of enemies, but it would still work just fine with no physics attached to the bodies.

@alyx Ragdolls are optional if you have good enough death animations. Gibs are not optional.
