Look, I am a guy that doesn't like complaining, especially when a game is good enough to enjoy there is no need to force complaints.
However there are 2 major things about the downsides of this grappling hook that to be analyzed. And I'm sure this post is probably already old news.
1.
Using a grappling hook defeats the purpose of using skill or having to fight your way up that house. It's taking away where the magic happens. There is no skill or strategy needed to look forward to. It's just a system where you need constant dopamine ie. Gunfight – scourge across the map – another quick gunfight = constant dopamine. Part of the experience is getting dopamine from planning, which usually feels more earned.
- As you probably noticed there is absolutely no sound cue of him grappling. Leaving me no chance at all to react, hence unfair advantage. This video clip is exactly what I heard during the real thing. Which is.. nothing.
That just shows you how much sound cues are off in this game. the developers don't care about optimization. Hey, but at least we have an efficient cod store right?
Thoughts?
Ps. Excuse my raging 😂 I usually never rage however, this was a real first time shock for me.. and I had some crazy encounters.
