I really don't like how in the newer games the protagonist has like a weird pause before jumping to the other pole, it's really kills the flow, there's no way they just forgot how to make those sections smooth

[@inksword6029]

Agreed

[@artemiypodkolodnyy7074]

it's not the pause. It's because the characters accelerations happens not at the jump point but somewhere in the middle, literally midair. This makes it just weird because he gets force from nothing. But u know, it's the myth saga now. We have magic. Perhaps he would have some special boots made out of god knows what that will allow him to double jump ahahahah

[@riverpb5250]

the thing i love about the parkour in the old games is that it's part of the gameplay and not JUST a traversal system. it's like tomb raider where you actually have to press a button to grab ledges, you have to actually align your character in the right position and angle, otherwise, you will fall. there's genuine tension and suspense in it. i remember the first time i've played AC2 and played the church crypt. climbing up was an absolutely terrifying experience that shoots you up with adrenaline because you actually need SKILL to scale the church, and falling actually gives you consequences.

[@johnisaacs5664]

Yah I agree , it was a lot better like that but my only complaint is when I would randomly jump of the side of the wall and that church tomb gave me ptsd because the animations could be inconsistent and fuck you over but threw that the game is still perfect

[@UnofficiallyMang0]

The pause before Basim jumps from spot to spot looks and feels more realistic to me, like he's using the full force of his body by pushing himself forward with his legs. It makes Basim a little athletic as an assassin, which I like because it matches up with his origins of how he was a street thief.

[@toms607]

I think the sprint animation on the ropes featured in the Ezio instalments is wicked and I’m surprised it hasn’t been included in subsequent instalments. You could say it’s an ability which is unique to Ezio but you could also argue that proficient balance and agility are essential skills inherent or learnt by the Assassins. I just hope Mirage has good combat and isn’t just a HP heavy hack and slash game. I’m already infuriated by the frikin Dishonoured teleport ability. Explain that one in-universe Ubi..? 🤷🏽‍♂️ AC doesn’t know what it is or wants to be.

As an experienced ac player you could've just left side ejected from hanging on the side of the roof to the rope on your left because it would look smoother and be slightly faster and be more stylish because you dont have to do the climb animation as all ejects make you gain altitude so you would only be doing the animation where ezio uses his foot to get himself up

It's crazy to me how other than graphics, Mirage doesn't really look better in terms of gameplay. At least ezio is fluid and keeps the momentum going as he runs. He free runs like you would go up a set of stairs. One foot at a time, and in continuous motion. This new system? I'd compare it closer to actually jumping from spot to spot. Where you land, pause, jump, land, pause, jump. It's absolutely kills any speed and momentum

[@justcause52]

Looks cool

[@mauri9289]

I always hate how in origins and Mirage they use their hands to slide down the rope like that when IRL that would give you rope burn

[@brytheguy4515]

Pretty sure they're going to include the "auto-parkour" mechanic from the later games, where you just hold the run button and you'll automatically jump and climb etc. The problem is the auto-parkour system gives players less control over their actual movement. This leads to awkward moments like when you're trying to run along a balcony and instead jump up and grab the roof.

[@Mejayy]

I love that part in the game when Mirage said "It's time for assassinatin' !" and then he assassinated all over the place
