It's just that the red streak on the black background is the best representation of Gae Bolg and the shards flying off Saber's destroyed armor are a nice finishing touch. I also like how quick it happens. Unlimited Codes is the second best representation, just because I really like how the lance has already pierced the enemy by itself and Cu has to go get it.
UFOtable's absurd tentacle laser is awful.
Meanwhile, on other games... Grand Order is basically just the red streak from the VN, which is good but not an improvement. Extra doesn't do anything different and is just ugly because the game is ugly. Extella and Link just go for the thrown version instead.
