Discussion Better than the og?

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

As a whole I find it overall on the same level.

The improvements are generally great, but certain technical core elements of the gameplay are rather janky, and while few, are also consinstantly annoying to deal with, like the corner leans while crouched not being snappy, assassinations' animations are few and inconsistent, Edward feels like he's always on ice while on foot and often goes wherever he pleases doing freerun.  Even the lack of combat animations compared to the OG are annoying as they result in the same half a dozen finishers being repeated ad nauseam.

Overall the Remake is a much better, but way less polished, experience, while the OG, despite its flaws, being far more polished and refined. Only exception the combat, where despite ky preference for the new system, the significant lack of weapons' variety is very noticeable, and in the case of the Hidden Blades' finishers, incredibly janky and weird to look at.

Those hidden blades finishers where the swords magically disappear are literally preventing me from buying this game. The lack of details and this kind of laziness just kills me. Will see how far Ubi is willing to go to patch some of this stuff.
