so here is something to talk about: do you prefer to fight without using a weapon, or by using your dual hidden blades?

i chose these two because i found (sold the game) these two to be the most rewarding in a fight. with the bare hands, you need to time counters right, and if you are quick enough after you disarm you can get a counter kill easy, making fights with Seekers and Brutes that much more easy...and fun, its nice to try other weapons. With the hidden blades, they arent very offensive, but are GREAT to practice your counter timing: get it right, and its always an instant counter kill. time it wrong, and you get hit. it really pushes you to perfect the counter kill, and i did this so much before brotherhood, to the point where when i played the game, i had a very easy time since i had almost perfected the counter kill with the dual hidden blades, which return of course.

so, feel free to state which you like more, and debate which is the superior one. hell, if you like the short sword or anything else, feel free to say so. for me, its Dual Hidden Blades, while bare hand fighting is fun and entertaining, i just loved getting into fights with my hidden blades. by the time i sold this game, i was amazing at the counter kill thanks to it, i love them

Hey Code, I just picked up this game tonight, and will be giving it a play tomorrow. After I have played it a bit I'll surely take part in this convo!

...but something tells me that if there are blades available, I'll be using them (never played AC before, so it's all gonna' be new).

I never really fight with bare hands.....I've always used blades so I think it is safe to say that my favorite is blades.....

I almost always use bare hands with seekers and brutes because when you disarm them it's a sure kill. It's so fun

Well, I didn't really have a favorite that I stuck to in all cases. I used the appropriate "tool" for the job. As previously stated, bare hands are much better for enemies that you can't block. Otherwise, I guess I preferred the dual hidden blades. Double assassinations were

I only used the hidden blade when I'm chasing the runners so I guess I would have to say bare hands. It's a lot easier to disarm people and it's so much fun to use their own weapons against them. Ubisoft did a great job with the animations for the Long Weapons and the heavy weapons that it's fun to fight with bare hands to get those weapons off the enemy

I use my blades. I feel so awesome slashing guys with those things, and also the counterattacks that he does with those look freaking amasing

50/50, I honestly am always trying to better myself so I keep shifting from 1 to the other in each & every fight.

I have to go with weapons at 95%.  Rarely did I fight enemies with my bare hands.

Hidden Blades any day, night, hour, minute, or second. Nothing like walking up between or behind two guards and stretching one's arms out, instantly terminating said unsuspecting foe.

Your not an assassin if you takeout an enemy with your hands so it definitely hidden blades for me
