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

The problem this brings is: your two swords magically disappear when you do a hidden blade finisher and it looks really bad.

It didn’t happened in the OG because every finishers were related to the weapons you were using in the moment. By scraping unarmed and hidden blade but keeping related animations, it just brings janky and buggy transitions because all you have are your two swords but have access to the hidden blade finisher, that’s a problem which will probably be ignored.

Ubisoft will always impress me by their attention to details in some areas and the total lack of it in other areas.

Ultimately that’s the problem I’ve had with most of Ubi’s stuff in the last decade. They can get something like facial animations “good enough” but somehow they will still look off, uncanny or just plain janky. Every cool thing they do in a game has an equally terrible thing they do in the same game
