I also laughed how basically the game blatantly trolls you about the hookblade. "Here, you can use the hook or the blade" Yusuf says. I'm like "Really?" and the game's like "Nah, because we were too lazy to program the hook coming up only for climbing and ziplines lol." Funny, considering the promo artwork that we even have as a background here shows how simple concept it would be.

Seriously, they throw in a couple of new animations with each installment, and you're telling me that they couldn't implement a regular blade coming up in combat? It really looks retarded when Ezio kneels over Tarik with a hookblade extended instead of normal one.
