Video Games Have Develop into Obsessed With Bows And Arrows. Which Game's Bow Is Greatest?
If you've been playing big-budget action video games over the last couple of years, you've probably accepted one or two trends. The graphics have gotten better. The animations have turn into more lifelike. The explosions have gotten more explosive.
And, more lately, amid all those improvements, has come a trend that is even more earth-shattering & essential: video Guild Wars 2 gold games have discovered the bow and arrow.
Call it the "bowification" of video games. Far Cry three. Crysis 3. Assassin's Creed III. Tomb Raider. In just the past six months, we have had 4 high profile games include a bow and arrow as a primary weapon. In an stunning bit of reverse evolution, it seems video games have finally discovered the bow and arrow, decades after they discovered the assault rifle.
All this goes in tandem with pop culture's more general bow-obsession, with Katniss Everdeen using her archery chops to survive The Hunger Games and Brave's Merida besting each of her suitors in an archery contest, Robin Hood-style. Approach to be present, video games!
One or two notes: First of all, cossbows do not count. Sorry, Dishonored! I'm going to focus on 4 games that are pretty recent, as they represent the current height of video game bow-and-arrow design. So, I have left off GW2 gold games like Turok, Wii Sports Resort, & any of the Zelda games. I've also left off a couple games where the bows do not genuinely have a mechanical component to them — my bow & arrow in Guild Wars two operates pretty much like a gun; same thing with Diablo III or Torchlight II. I am including Skyrim, due to the fact that game is intriguing and its iteration on the Elder Scrolls' bow and arrow design is cool. If there are other video game bows you think are worthy of recognition, I hope you will mention them in the comments.
