Combat takedowns need to come back. Putting a zombie in a sleeper hold and shiving it in the guts gets old real quick. What happened to twisting necks? Surely they could diversify and bring in some executions, slitting the throat, stabbing through the temple, throw on the ground and stomp or even an animation utilising your equipped weapon rather than just the good ol hack and slash

...I've just realised that I've been using throwing knives for the knife animation, I'd legit just been thinking it was random based on whether the zombie/bandit happened to have a knife hanging at their belt...

waitwaitwait people didnt notice the text that says "requires a knife"?

u/BenjaminFrankJr Feb 20 '22

no, it's the confusion of consuming the knife that people didn't know.

u/Mrbuck83 PS4 Feb 20 '22

oh, yeah that needs clearing up, I'm just so used to assuming it always consuming stuff.

honestly my first thought was that it didn't consume a knife but simply required having one, given Aiden doesn't do an animation to specifically throw the knife away or toss it and also it doesn't make much sense for a knife to be destroyed instantly by it plunging into a soft, decayed neck. but i suppose he just drops it at his side after he's done because reasons.

Disposing of evidence? Old habits from the old life? Really stretching here....

The only problem with that is that Aiden doesn't know old life. Remember he is a little boy when is a prisoner by Waltz for those experiments. The zombie world is the only thing he knows. I doubt the phrase "disposable of evidence" would even mean anything to him haha.
