The absolute fricking LACK of gunplay in every game involving guns.

>dewd, the ganplei in this game is fire yo
No you fricking mongrel, you're playing a re-skinned quake 2 for the past 20 fricking years.

Symptoms of "literally no gunplay":
>the "gun" is just a graphical skin on the screen with no real functionality
>your character can pull an infinite amount of mags from his ass
>your character refills half empty mags with his butt offscreen
>your character can rack off a perfectly fine round after every reload (often with the extra sin of the round vanquishing magically inside the gun)
>you have no button to rack your gun
>you have no button to reload the actual mag, it's all done with magic off-screen
>no option to single-load bullets, you always have a revolver loader or a rifle clip up your butt
God forbid having a game that rewards the player for handling a mechanism well and being resourceful. Sword gays can't have a good sword game because simulating weight and action combat to align with real feelings would be impossible, real gunplay is not fricking impossible, except almost no dev ever makes it.

And no, not having a fricking UI that keeps track of how many bullets you can chamber isn't "gunplay" either.

              The way loading rounds in Receiver works is that you press a button and it instantly inserts the round. My guess is that as he emptied a chamber, he pressed the button to load a new round and then went to the next one, there's just no animation for it.

    In case you haven't heard of this, Hideous Destructor is a mod for the original Doom that absolutely nails the gunplay.

    >Individual magazines are tracked, full, partial, and empty.
    >Individual bullets are tracked, with their respective calibers
    >Ballistic simulation and penetration system
    >Reload can be done quickly dropping the mag on the floor, or slower and keep the mag on you
    >There is a mag manager UI to unload and reload the individual bullets into the magazines you have
    >Chambered rounds are taken into account (ie you can have a +1)
    >Dedicated button to pump your shotgun, can eject live shells. Can also load a shell directly into the chamber. Can also have it on semi or manual. Can also shortstroke it if not done properly. Can also rarely run into shitty ammo that fails to make the gun cycle in semi, so you must pump it in those occasions. Can also slamfire it. Can also have different chokes on it.
    >Can single load bullets without a magazine
    >Have a (meme) bolt-action rifle based on the Ross rifle that is intentionally shitty and has to be cleaned often for it to not foul up
    >Can lace distances and airburst rifle grenades
    >Rifle grenades have arming distance
    >Duds can be used for IEDs

    I could go on but the mod is fantastic and you owe it to yourself to try it.

    I played a game with "gunplay", and fumbling with mag storage (in some cases even ammo packet storage while being forced to gather the goddamn ejected mags after the battle to reuse them) and reloading the gun while I got killed wasn't very fun. So I always focused all of my builds on ease of use over potential efficiency. Yea, it's a neat feature and I guess it gives hardons to people who "like guns" but there's usually no gunplay because games are primarily for fun. People don't play shooter games because they like guns. People just like first person perspective and as you said melee weapons aren't very good from that viewpoint primarily because it's hard to judge distance, your camera would fly all over the damn place because you actually move your body a lot to strike, and react to strikes from outside your field of vision, which is, even with widescreen displays, still not enough for melee.

    "Gunplay" within the context of games means that the guns have distinct and enjoyable gameplay differences, and enjoyable basic traits (good sense of kickback, good sound design, etc.). So while I understand your frustration, it's pretty obvious that most people don't want to play a game where they track individual bullets within individual magazines.

    Autistic low-level bullet management doesn't add anything unless it adds something. Can you fire the chambered round as you are mid-reload? Can you do a mixed load like a home-defense shotgun with bird,buck,bird,buck,buck,buck?

    Is any of this useful in gameplay?

      Yeah, you can do mixed load in a shotgun with Hideous Destructor (with a special shotgun added by a mod, because of underlying code issues, but nevertheless).

    MW2019 had:
    >Open bolt delay on specific guns
    >Caliber specific ammo pickups
    >Caliber specific material penetration
    >Bullet drop at extreme distances
    >Extensive minutiae of details like glowing barrels, sound of different caliber shells, even barrel attachments changing muzzle flare and gas
    which are new to the quake experience in COD's genealogy.

    Battlefield 3, 4, and 1 have legendary audio design for the guns.
    Synthetik's core gameplay loop is shooting, dropping the mag, loading it, and racking the slide in a sleek active reload QTE; alongside that is dozens of different ammo types for each weapon.
    ARMA has a complex and realistic ballistic simulation, penetration, and physics system for every weapon in the game in addition to tracking bullets in magazines.
    Receiver 1 and 2 are just gun simulators, although I'm not particularly a fan.

    Ironically, by giving the player that much control it makes the game clunky and esoteric taking control away from what the player WANTS to do and introducing barriers with what they HAVE to do. It's particularly effective for survival horror/simulators like Zomboid because there is urgency and panic when overwhelmed where in real life you would fumble with loading bullets while being chased. It's also great for gameplay because it adds lots of decision making and planning to a slower-paced, purposeful game with limited resources. Your autistic idea is awful when I all I want to do is hear loud combustion and see blood splatter on hundreds of faceless goons in a cool, military aesthetic.

    Agreed OP, it's also ridiculous that movement is still just pressing one key to decide direction and maybe at most having a sprint button. Players should have to at the very least use a button for each leg or in the case of controllers a stick for each leg, moving it in each direction respectively. Not to mention how games never take footwear into consideration. Wearing sneakers for a 30 mile desert hike? Those puppies should all straight off your feet like meat off a texas slow cooked short rib. Win a round of PUBG? The player should have to spend 3 minutes applying bengay to the soles of his avatar or be forced to play the next round in a wheelchair.

    And no, not having a UI that keeps track of how long your toe nails are isn't "gameplay" either.
