What is your most Hated Video Game

Star fox Adventures. Don't make me explain.

I have no idea what Heavy Rain is outside of a few videos. To me it looks like an interactive movie, or a Guinness World Records attempt at most QTEs in a game.

That would be Guitar Hero.

Not even going to attempt to feed this troll.

Definition of QTE.
Press the correct sequence of buttons within a timer to advance.
Incorrect buttons results in failure.

Definition of Guitar Hero.

Guinness World Record goes to...

Incorrect, a QTE is a sequence of buttons to preform actions that are executed by the player.

Also, guitar hero doesn't tell you which buttons to press, it gives you 5 bars that correspond to certain keys, but every time that one of those keys are required to be pressed, guitar hero doesn't not flash "press x button to hold down x chord" on your screen.

Wjat is you definition of QTE? [sub]Sequence of buttons... check... perform actions that are...[/sub] no, that second part is inconsequential.

Guita Hero is the definition of QTE.
Guitar Hero ALWAYS tells you which button you need to press (they move toward the player which is the equivalent of "press X"). What game are you playing?

I think you're confusing the term QTE with button pressing. by your definition of a QTE, every single game ever made is nothing but QTE's. also, QTE's don't punish you for pressing buttons early.

Some do. And Guitar Hero is a bunch of QTE's. The definition fits perfectly.

So, let me get this straight; by your definition, lets say that i'm playing, oh, i don't know, halo or whatever.

when an enemy comes into my crosshair, pressing the fire button is a QTE? or when there's a gap/pit in a platformer, pressing the jump button is now a QTE?

-snipity snip snop snoo-

No, because the buttons you press don't have to be in any set order, and they aren't timed. In Guitar Hero, they are.

Zomg there are some tards on this site, how is heavy rain not an awesome game? for that matter RPG's are taking a beating here too. Seriously some people think that stuff like Halo and COD are the be all and end all, thats the problem with gaming these days all the idiots lap up the homogenous FPS's and rip on anything slightly new and innovative.

Worst game Halo not because its that shitty as a standalone but because it ruined a genre

 

[Ralen-Sharr]

so many over-hyped fails out there...

Every time I tried a JRPG I had to quit due to the weird/stupid combat systems.
Never liked ANY Call of Duty game due to over-hype for something that really seemed meh, same for Halo.
Was never able to enjoy ArmA, or ArmA2, seeing as how there were enemies I couldn't even see that could pop me in the head from some ridiculous distance with any weapon.
I tried playing Gears of War, it was ok until the guy I was playing with insisted on using the stupid chainsaw, stepping into my line of fire every time a firefight broke out.

Why are you so utterly appalled at this concept, dude? You've got a three to one reply ratio going on with this guy. Get over yourself. DDR, GH, and most other music games can be considered QTEs on the grounds of your task being simply to follow a set of given instructions with given timing. A strum bar will not make or break a person's sense of if it follows this rule or not, and while nobody cares if you don't think of it as a QTE, arguing about it this long is just making you look like a tard. It's really not anything all that important for anyone involved to be this adamant about, so quit making it every other post in the dang thread.

Lunar: Dragon Song

Good lord that game gives JRPGs a bad name

The battle system is shit, the story makes no sense, characters drop in and out of your party with no warning and take all their equipment with them, the only way to make money is some very repetitive fetch quests, not to mention that the characters are about as appealing as piece of cardboard covered in the Ebola virus.

The really sad part is that I have heard that every game in the series is actually quite good except for this one.

Oi, yes. The original in it's many forms is a decent one and Lunar 2 is about the time I felt jealous of everyone who had a PS1. They aren't amazing or anything, but they're decent games.

Dragon Song is just awful. Absolute crap...

It may be awesome but it is definitely not much of a game.
Sheesh, gamers are getting lazy these days. When I was your age, I had to work the joystick hard to get some points.

Oh! And Mario Bros. Not Super Mario Bros. Just Mario Bros. Awful, awful game.

No because in both instances you're not being told which button to press. In your Halo description, you can opt to not shoot with no penalty. You can opt to grenade instead. In QTE games like Guitar Hero, only one button (or combination of buttons ) is correct.

Not true. not firing, or throwing a grenade instead will more than likely result in your death (and then failure), and just like in guitar hero, they only tell you which button to press before hand. the same goes for the platformer. These are Timed Events, not Quick time events, they have existed since the age of gaming, clear back to pong. You never fail a guitar hero song by missing a single note either, as well as all other music games.

I don't know where you got this poorly misconceived notion of what a QTE is, but QTE != timed events.

oh my god i HATED two worlds did the writers think that they would sound "medieval" if the put "eth" on the end of every word?

Metal Dungeon, if you have heard of that game, I share your pain

 

[Mammon]

Halo 1-3, which every friend of mine says are good, but I feel it's so overhyped because it was one of the first games on xbox. OOOOHHH a fps on a console, not like that's never been done before, said the retardes who stood in line to buy this horseshit. Also, even though I haven't played any of them, I feel a strong hate against every final fantasy game after nr. 9. Especially against 10-2.

You don't fail at Heavy rain for missing one QTE either...

The Halo example you gave is laughable. (Ahem, dodge, move, etc...) None of these are FORCED. Guitar Hero is on a rail (for lack of a better term) and FORCES you to pick the correct button. It is QTE, by the numbers.

If you can't (or won't understand), quit replying and live in your ignorant little world. Your argument is defeated, so just take your lumps and leave.

I'll admit that the halo example was a bad one, but the platforming one is rock solid. going by your definition of a QTE, every platforming game ever made is a series of QTE's, correct? It's on a rail, there's only one direction, and jumping is the only thing you can do. if you fail to jump at the proper TIME, you die, correct?

That's right everyone, according to s69-5; every mario, sonic, and prince of persia game (of the ones that matter) ever made is a series of quick time events, according to his definition of a QTE.

I'll offer you this, sir. I still think you're horribly wrong about guitar hero and sound-games all together (even though i'm not incredibly fond of any of them, besides amplitude)being filled with QTE's, but i tire of spamming this thread for no reason; It's obvious that neither of us are going to back down (i won't if you won't), so i'll offer you a truce, in order for this thread to happily die in peace.
