Is it possible to control the hookblade “catch” when falling

assassins-creed-revelations

In previous AC installments, you could voluntarily fall when hanging – and then press a key to grab at a lower point. AC Revelations seems much the same, except that my hookblade keeps "catching" on things as I fall. This makes the process of descending a tall building take much longer than previous games. Can it be avoided, or is it just a nuance of this version?

Best Answer

You're probably doing it wrong.

You have to press (and keep pressed) the button to fall. In order to control you need to let go of the button so the hook-blade latches on to whatever you're climbing (if it is possible to climb there).
