I'm talking about the finishing move animation which lasts Idk, like 5 seconds? It activates seemingly randomly on heavy and charge attacks, probably even normal attacks. And unlike other games with finishing moves it doesn't give immunity or damage reduction of any kind. So when the animation activates in the middle of enemies, you're as good as dead.
Moreover, it makes the target that you're finishing off alert and loud enough to call their buddies. We can pretty much write off stealth gameplay altogether here.
Finally, when the finishing move plays it doesn't seem to count as a kill with blades. Like you know Deathbolt perk doesn't activate which is supposed to heal you on Blade kills.
So please, CDPR, just disable the finishing animation when in combat or something.
