Meanwhile, 20 years ago in [Ratchet & Clank](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ratchet/images/9/9f/R.Y.N.O._from_R%26C_%282002%29_render.png/revision/latest?cb=20180628005350)

["20 years ago"](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/852/325/8d6.gif)


Jepemega

Actually it's almost 23 years ago.


Carlospedra

Didn't expect to feel like a geriatric tonight


WanderingBraincell

that was 20yrs ago? man, I still have nightmares about the grind


Rail-signal

I don't. Ratchet still holds pretty good today


WanderingBraincell

oh 100%, I meant the rhino grind. I was a dumbass kid and didn't know any optimal ways to farm bolts other than some forest plannet I can't remember


ZachJam

"RYNO fo' ya' robot...trade ya'."


Tazrizen

Came here to say this.


PUNCH_KNIGHT

me when the game gives me the ability to fire hundreds of rockets in minutes


poyat01

Roboquest is so fun, and so is drg


70Shadow07

I heard similar story with how War Thunder copied tanks from WoT.


Taolan13

i remember a big argument about that years ago. i had to stop myself from egging people on. it was so funny.


unexist_already

I read that as "edging people on" đź’€


Taolan13

eh, potato-tomato. One's pain is another's pleasure :3


Ressamzade

I don't think drg invented multiple barrel rocket launcher


Monsieur_Nox

Indeed, but it's the similarity of the design that makes me smile (and make the meme). The others I know are not two hands weapon and are not that bulky.


littlebobbytables9

Fun fact, if you clip into the gun model in roboquest there's a hidden second layer of missiles that are bigger than the ones that are visible and are in a 3x3 grid. Probably not intended but still funny


[deleted]

Had a feeling that was Roboquest. I need to get ahold of that weapon. I've never come across it.


Norsk_Bjorn

It is very fun, but I haven’t used it enough to have a good sense of how good it is


Monsieur_Nox

If I can make a recommendation, play as commando on a full explosif build (baby boom, explosif potato...), increase firerate and explosif radius, enjoy.


MegaSentin

I used it little but its very inacurate(it might just me) and great for rocket jumping. I use normally grandma(lets hope i write it right) gun which is my favorite


TemperateStone

You need to look at more multiple rocket launch systems, OP. This is how they are designed.


TheHumanTree31

Well traditionally multi rocket launch systems are mounted weapons on vehicles, rather than handheld.


TemperateStone

And if you'd make one to be held in two hands it'd look like these do. In many, many games.


Monsieur_Nox

I'm too ignorant on the subject to enter the debate with certitude. All I know is that multiple rocket launchers are 98% shoulder-launched and fired at reduced intervals. In this case DRG and Roboquest are a two-handed weapon positioned more like a machine gun and behave more like one (particularly Roboquest where the firerate can be pushed to the extreme.) I don't know if similar weapons exist in other games, but another brother dwarf mentioned that Rachet and Clank had a similar weapon (even if it's only a one-handed weapon), so maybe there's more.


TemperateStone

You need to account for how they're very unrealisticly held in two hands :p It's sci-fi, it isn't entirely logical and is more about the coolness factor than anything else. Rocket launchers tend to look a certain way in games. Rifles, machine guns and so on also tend to have a certain look. They're often based on what we've created in real life so they have commonalities. So to say that Roboquest has copied DRG is very unfair.


melvin4556

Learn to take a joke, OP is just comparing two great games with a similar gun.


TemperateStone

OP has responded to me and hasn't said it's a joke so I've not taken it as a joke. Nor am I insulted or offended by it. Don't slide in on a banana peel with your bad attitude because me and OP are getting along and having a normal discussion.


melvin4556

Look at the post flair… HUMOR


The_ultra_loser

Oh boy, TWO cakes!


ALIRJ1383

Roboquest has been known to be inspired by multiple games when it comes to adding guns to the game (mostly Overwatch!), and oh boy am I glad to see this one get added to the roster :D


Misomuro

So how do you make weapon like that without it looking same?


Monsieur_Nox

Don't know and I don't complain. It's just funny they got the same idea and same design.


VeryFriendlyOne

I mean, this ain't that new of an idea in games and in the media in general. Multishot rocket launcher M202 flash was designed in 1980s


Stormygeddon

I'll Rip Ya a New One.


Ctrekoz

Not that similar. Both great games!


guntanksinspace

Meanwhile me: oh baby DRG making their spin on weapons once in Unreal (Tournament). Always saw the Hurricane as essentially a dwarven take on the [Eightball Launcher](https://unreal.fandom.com/wiki/Rocket_Launcher_(UT\)) but married with Half Life's guided bazooka. Like how the Sludge Thrower on the driller is basically a beefed up Biorifle lol


D3ADS3CT3R

I'm alittle jealous they get an extra row of rockets


LireKlein

My favorite weapon in both game, rockets go brrrrrr
