Wow the new Grappling Hook

[LadyVodka]

Sucks.
You cant pull yourself up, just swinging...

[Mancubus]

what new grappling hook ..? .....i just saw a glider on the video

[Pocok]

TBH grapling hook was OP in DL1, especially when the game is about climbing stuff.

[Hon]

i guess they did it on purpose, in DL1 you were like spider-man. But i agree with developers in a sense that this is a parkour game, should be a little bit down-to-earth gameplay)

[Mancubus]

Bring back the old grappling hook ?

This. I HATED the grapple hook in DL1. Took the skill away from the game

Grappling hook, aka the get out-of-the-trouble button.

I really think Techland messed up here, calling it a grappling hook...

[Koze]

once you upgrade the grappling hook you can pull yourself towards it like in dl1. and you can also grapple enemies, so its a upgrade from dl1's grapple.

They called it the correct name. This is what a grappling hook is. You lodge it into something(not how it's supposed to work but i'll accept it, good enough), and swing.

You don't throw it at the side of a building and suddenly it pulls your entire body weight to it. That's not a grappling hook, that's some Jedi-tier ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, using the force to propel yourself at a flimsy grappling hook.

DL2 grappling hook is what the DL1 hook should've been. Getting that thing basically invalidated parkour. There was no need for it.

First, it's not a hook...it's a piton with a graphical skin of a kunai.

Second, it doesn't grapple...it's driven into the surface.

It's a set rope swing. I'm not talking about grapple guns here, I'm just talking about calling it something that it really isn't.

While I understand why they changed it, I still would have liked it if you could get the old one after you either finished the game or fully leveled Aiden. The old one still took some time to get and wasn't usable in the parkour challenges, also it was super fun to use

you cant even use the "grappling hook" in most of the first zone. Seriously if i could attach it to anything i wouldnt have a problem but i cant connnect with ANYTHING in the first zone on the streets.

if the only thing i can connect to are light post then we have a serious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ problem.

I'd trust the guy that's saying it's better when fully upgraded.

Mine isn't full yet because I haven't gotten around to it, doing too much side stuff.
