i thought they already had the pistol whipping in GTA V
they did, but it was like… less dramatic than this? it was more of a quick stun, like afterthought melee when you were armed and the target was up close. just a quick overhand klonk on the dome. this looked like an intentional animation with a camera angle change and like honestly more violent because it’s like you’re smashing the target in the face from the side. the pistol whip in V wasn’t like the other melee weapon moves in GTAV where if you were the right distance or approaching from behind it did like a 1 shot kill animation.
i was kind of obsessed with finding all the kill strikes for all the melee weapons. the machete was pretty dirty as were the small knives, like the switch blade which had its own fun little deploy/put away animation.

Yeah. I think the camera thing is also something they probably took from max payne 3
