I think I ran into a bug! At least one of the new enemies seems to have an issue progressing its grapple past the third step or so. Specifically the one in the research lab in the second half of the game (the best one!).
Alright, and no problem! The way it was worded lead me to think it was an interim stage for an even worse finisher. It was one of my favorites (andro was VERY close second) and I hope you do more cyberhound stuff aa
