BUT, there are just TWO attack animations, regular and power attack (plus a running attack and execution, but you mostly see the same hit motion over and over) It's completely tedious to keep hitting the same three buttons (and often dying because you mess up and throw a grenade instead of power attack) and seeing the same thing, a lot, because there's a lot of things to hit in this game
... fallout 3 and nv had like 6 different animations depending on how you were moving when hitting the button
also the customisation for these weapons is super limited, the only one that was a "tactical decision" was the hook on the pipe wrench which disarms enemies, oh and you can paint your bat different colours if you want it to do less damage than the aluminium one
...speaking of which why did they make a big deal of the baseball thing when the player wields a bat like an imbecile. You can't even bat the baseball grenade at the enemy, which is just the biggest missed opportunity in history.
