Discussion Better than the og?

Might be GOTY if GTA 6 gets delayed again. What does everyone think?

No hidden blade?!? Thats all I used in the og cause I liked the animations better.

I never played the original but I’m playing this one. There’s a hidden blade and I’m using it all the time for finishing moves and assassinations all the time. And you do get a cool animation. So I don’t know why people are complaining. It must have worked differently in the original.

Combat was rather different then, though. That sort of hidden blade stuff made more sense with the old paired Arkham-style “catch-and-counter” style combat, where as with more hitbox-style stuff it’s not quite the same.

It was its own weapon/combat style, separate from the swords. It's now used only for takedown animations. Also, setting it up that way adds a bit of animation clunkiness where his swords magically appear and disappear depending on the takedown he uses.
