finishing moves are awkward...

Post » Mon May 07, 2012 11:07 am

When you perform a finishing move in sitting and just as the animation is ending at lighting speed your body reverts back to just looking straight. It's not just a one time thing it happens all the time watch gameplay videos you'll see it. It looks so jerky and awkward... I wonder what the reason it has for doing that? Its not smooth or elegant like finishing moves are supposed to appear.

So you've played/watched the game, I won't ask you where you watched the footage oh no no, who knows?

So..... this is from the game? And this would merit being in the spoiler section... maybe? Oh yes i think it would. I hope I don't come across as too much of an [censored] but well, you see there are stickys and there is a large section called 'Spoilers'. Maybe you missed it in your eagerness to type it here... hmmm I wonder.

Why would you do finishing moves while sitting? All finishing moves i have seen have looked good, even the leaked ones.

I know what you mean. The first half looks ok, then it goes into like super uber fast motion and it just kind of snaps back to normal view. Looks awful.

It's only been on a few I've seen though, not all of them. I also don't have the slightest clue what the hell you mean sitting

Considering they are seen in official videos, no, it isn't a spoiler.

So you have seen all of the finishing moves in the game? Or just once or twice in some pre-release footage.
Sounds like you've had some extensive time with these finishing moves :whistling:

They look fine to me, but maybe I'm just not into nitpicking every single thing 2 days, 8 hours before release day and esp. not before I play the game :shrug:

They look pretty good, but a cleaner camera cut would be nice.

I've witnessed this as well, some of them just end suddenly while others are more elegant. But at the same time I still love them, even when they're kinda awkward. They made a smart choice in having them only get triggered by the last enemy you face at a time and even then it only happens some of the time.

This is a videogame, and considering how well these games have progressed since TES I Arena, your complaints are borderline childish. I for one, am amazed at how awesome everything looks, even the jerky animations. If I can enjoy Morrowind, which is so much worse with animations, then why would this matter?


If you want to see awesome finishing moves, then play an action game with no roleplaying depth.

I don't plan on assasinating sitting enemies that much anyways... I dont play as an assasin anyways, so not a huge problem. Besides, who knows how old that footage really was? It might be from a slightly older build.
