like rifles it's more fun to crack someone's skull open than to stab someone. |

it felt wrong to use anything other than a sword |

@liam well heavy weapons have more knocking power rifles are for clubbing and sniping and swords are tiny blades |

Me too,
because it has shorter animation and it also insta "kills" people
That's the problem with AC, it's just so badly designed but so well polished

@fd non-lethal weapons dont instantly knock someone out with the legendary ranked rifle it takes 2 hits to kill a mid level enemy 3-4 to kill a high level enemy |

swords have a better time to kill, and the fastest heavy attack which is all you really need
And FD said, the fastest animation.
I remember thinking I'd want to use the spear when the Co-Op was announced, only because it was about a week after the Oberyn vs. The Mountain fight in Game of Thrones. |

| oh yeah and the Suger's Eagle is a sword, which has the unique bonus of blinding everyone every now and then. |

i always go heavy weapons in AC games they're slow and hard hitting which fits my play style but non-lethal weapons are great for the brutality factor |

I personally despised rifles.
They should have been lethal, honestly.
I mostly used sword+Flintrock, just because.
I miss being able to carry 4 pistols, even if you do get more shots in the one you do carry. |

It's hilarious to do a melee takedown on someone with a ranged weapon.
On AC:Freedom cry,I beat someone to death with my blunderbuss

I spent half of Black flag, as unarmed, countering someone when they attacked me, grabbing their weapon, stabbing them with it, and then dropping it.
It was hilarious. |

Combat in that game is horrendous in most cases,as most enemies are too predictable.I consider my skill level higher than captains (Most difficult enemy to beat)

@star
That was the best way to kill the two scouts in the crow's nests when boarding a ship
use the lift to get up, disarm one. You'll push him off during the animation most of the time. Then shoot the other one with his musket. |

Speaking of AC, liam is the antagonist in rogue.

I don't mind the easy combat, TBH.
IMO, it may make it easy, but at least it doesn't look like your bludgeoning them to death with a blunt sword, such as in most games with melee combat.
On the other hand, Unity made counter kill chains much harder, plus, the fact most of them use range weapons.
Naval combat tho. |

@Lian
I never thought of doing that, But when you do that,it's based on luck.He will either push you off, go full idiot and you assassinate him,or be puts up a real fight,which is super rare.After killing him one way or another,I just pull the other one off with the rope dart.

"liam is the antagonist in rogue."
Doesn't that technically make him a good guy, since Shay's a Templar?
haven't played rogue though, hope it comes for backwards compatibility. |

@Star well...
Yes, it feels good to fight in AC especially with this ost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tjHFcz24fs
but after 1000 times... it gets old.
And yeah the alternative isn't very good either(skyrim)
But why not find a sweet spot? Like Shadow of modor or Arkham knight
oh and what are you on about? Naval combat in black flag is easy as sin(yes even against a man of war while you are level 10)
