I bought the game on release for ps5 and gave up 60% into main story due to boredom & frustration.
Recently I decided to give the game another go. I'm enjoying it a bit more, yes I still have frustrations and criticism with parkour, responsiveness & fluidity, but it seems improved. I want to see the main story through.
Every time in combat I parry & it's the same thing, the enemy is stunned and a icon for a button press to "kill" comes on, using R1. It's the same loop & same animation! I have seen videos of various combat finishers that have variety & far more satisfying, how the hell do I pull this off?
It's very mundane & frustrating, I avoid combat specifically as to not get annoyed.
Every other AC game has had various finisher animations that were satisfying & no problem, it just happens. They were extremely varied & satisfying.
Side note, any advice if I should change my controller mapping & if so please share.
Final thing, obviously parkour & many other things could be far better & deeper in this game, but why did Ubisoft decide against mixing & matching gear pieces, sets for body parts!?
