Is there a more satisfying feeling in gaming than an AWP flick shot?

I think this is still one of my favorite first-person melee combat, after all these years.Kicking enemies in Dark Messiah is up there.
Far from a perfect game, but some of the levels were fantastic to fight through: kicking enemies, activating traps, kicking enemies into traps. That was great.
I can't aim for shit so I can't relate.
Popping two Tetris clears in a row and knocking like 2 attackers out at once in Tetris 99 is up there

I like using weapon like bow and arrow and crossbow. These thing can be hard to aim and hit sometimes in some games; with some trajectory to adjust, distance to calculate and wind to consider, but they provide satisfied feeling when the target is hit by arrow that I shoot.
One early experience that I like was in Half Life 2 with crossbow. Shooting the combines and seeing them died with ragdoll effect, with the sound of bolt and string release are just great and satisfying. Not to mention this weapon can pin their head and body to wall, making this an amusing weapon, yet great to use when it's available.

You mean like this?
Man so bummed that the MP is dead on PC. I hope EA brings it back on Steam this year.
I found headshots in Battlefield more satisfying because of the bullet physics.
Then there's Gears headshots. In general, kills in Gears are more satisfying than about every other game.

Oh yea, and that shattering sound when you break someone's armor is so good. It makes it hard to resist the urge to push through and get the knock
Similar to OP - but doing the same flick shot with any of the charger weapons in Splatoon 2. The accompanying SPLAT! sound is just too good.
I would also throw a well timed rocket punch with Doomfist (Overwatch) into the mix. Man that's so satisfying watching a healer make a crater into the wall.

AWP is very much up there but I find getting the perfect one tap when rounding a corner even more satisfying
Reflecting projectiles as pyro in TF2 was my fav. I could reflect most with ease but there was nothing more satisfying than reflecting a huntsman arrow and getting a headshot with it
Not quite the same but beating a Destiny raid for the first time, unlocking amazing loot and just generally being grateful that you (and the team) only messed up the 40 times previously and didn't make it 41.
It's quite a rush.

Nicked a first place in MK8D online the other day.. on the Zelda track I slid into a mushroom on the floor on the last turn and buuuuurrrned the two fuckers in front of me!
That felt pretty good

As explained the AWP is a sniper rifle in counter strike. Basically this talks about how you move the crosshair over the enemy (a flick of the mouse) quickly and shoot them.
Though I am still a bit shocked how many people seem to have never seen or played vs in one of it's forms
Power pellets and ghost trains in Pac-Man CE DX
Yep, this is the one for me. It's so satisfying
Yes. Just yes. Seeing the other team crumble under your uber while yours gains momentum is immensely satisfaying. But there's one thing even better:
Getting pushed back by a coordinated uber, but then turning the tide of the match with your own perfectly coordinated counter-uber. So good.
Third place would be an airshot intercept on a Soldier/Demo bombing in on your Medic, then finishing him off with a second rocket/pipe airshot.
I loved drop pod landing on bitches in Starhawk. Maybe the only fun part of the game?
But for me, the creme de la creme is the perfectly timed Disruptor Kinetic Field + Ult combo in Dota2. The feeling you get when you catch the heroes you needed in the storm...especially if a perfect Glimpse was needed to pull it off...unf.

I still think that Wii Sports had the most satisfying tennis game ever made. Swinging the Wii mote and hitting a precise shot is so satisfying.
Metroid Prime 3's grappling hook was also satisfying. I loved pulling off those shields from enemies with a flick of the wrist.

AWP obscure lol? It's one of the most famous guns in videogames. What you been playing these 30 odd years?
This got me misty-eyed.
I miss vanilla TF2 so much - without all the added weapons and gear.
30 years ago I was playing Flimbo's Quest on the Commodore 64. Turns out that Counter Strike was only 10 years after that. Crazy how time moves on.
Okay good for you, I am 33 years old I too was playing games before Counter Strike.
The guy was giving OP shit claiming to describe some obscure thing that his self proclaimed gamer knowledge did not hear about.
You know what I meant and why.
Oh, I wasn't saying that Counter Strike was obscure (I didn't play it myself so didn't know the gun, but I've heard of the game and I know a LOT of people played it), your comment just made me realise how much of a leap there was between the graphics of the C64 era and when Counter Strike came out 10 years later. That's more what I was getting at. Congrats on being 33 though. I'm 35 (36 in a couple of months) and have realised I'm rapidly ageing out of gaming, ha. Turns out having a baby really eats into your gaming time. Who knew?
I can confirm. It felt like I was fighting the game and wrestling with the controls more than the other players.
