The thing is, w/ the Parkour, is that half the time, it doesn't work properly. Attempting to do some moves from the first four games never work e.g. the Wall Eject Side maneuver ends up having you jump off the damn building and to your death. Trying to jump along the beams on the side of building ends up having Connor jump into the building and falling down. Either that or he ends up grabbing the beam and pulling himself up instead, which is the least fluid thing in the world despite all of their pre-release crap about "fluidity". When trying to do vaults, or jumping onto and off of obstacles, he ends up just running into the object, stands there and places his hands in front of him on an invisible wall (he occasionally succeeds w/ the vault). Trying to slide under things esp. holes in fences ends up having him scale it instead and sliding over barrels results with him standing on top of it half way through. Some of these moves I used to do a lot in the previous games, so removing them or making them almost impossible to do really pisses me off. Either that the game's Parkour mechanics were really bad or I just played a really buggy version.
