The same animations over and over again gets stale very quickly, especially if you're going for mass murder runs. I've mentioned before that Blood Money had multiple animations for both the fibre wire and the knife. Can we please get newer and improved animations soon?
The animations that are in the game for some of the weapons are really bad, with one of the worst offenders being the cleaver. When I picked up the cleaver for the first time, I expected a brutal kill where he drives it into the targets skull like in Blood Money, instead we get this bizarre animation where 47 just taps the victim on the head with it and they fall to the ground, instantly dead. Not only is it lazy, it makes no sense whatsoever, he literally just taps them in the head and instant death.
This goes back to one of my points that I constantly bring up on this forum, which is the lack of blood which makes melee weapons especially boring to use. The the topic of guns, shooting someone in the head feels like your tapping them, no impact to the shot and barely and blood, just a tiny drip on a wall if you're lucky.
I harp on about the lack of blood and brutality a lot because the entire game is based around killing.
Another poster pointed out the fact that when the Battleaxe escalation contract was released, it was incredibly boring because of the bad animations and lack of violence. What's the point of using weapons that are put in the game and designed to be brutal, but there is no brutality or impact whatsover.
And I won't even start about the NPCs not reacting to blood on the ground, which dumbs the game down even more.
