There is an option where you can hold the button to finish the QT event, atleast makes it less cumbersome

QTEs were sometimes a way to mask loading screens in the old days.
Edit: Can we talk about that spanking ponies thing?
Let's not. It was a hard part of my life.
Wait, I'm sorry. Were you hard when spanking the ponies, or...?
I think the God of War series is to blame for it. They had so well crafted QTE. Fighting the hydra in the first God of War is still an incredible spectacle to behold. So after that other game devs tried to imitate its success, with mixed results. It’s just lazily adding button prompts over a cinematic right?
I'm like 90% sure this game has an accessibility option to disable quick time events. Uncharted 4 had it, I believe.
The Uncharted series isn't really my jam, but I can still relate. Halo 4 has those completely unnecessary quick time events and it's very jarring. I'm so glad we've moved away from this fad.
This is probably my one complaint about the new spider man, What you think is a cool cinematic all of a sudden a Button prompt jumps up and you gotta scramble to hit it, Always catches you off guard and never feels engaging. So many unnecessary resets just because i wasn't aware that a qt event was coming.
There is an option to under accessibility I think where you can choose that the QT events succeed all the time and you don't need to press anything.
But still they kind of ruin the pacing of the cinematic scene IMO.
Exactly!
What? Is it supposed to make me feel powerful that I can smash a button a gazillion times to hold back a train from falling off the rails? Just so it as a cinematic - I don't need to be involved in every little thing!
have you ever played the original resident evil 4 or jericho? Those were quick time events from hell, in comparison to that the ones from Uncharted are fun...
No I've never played those. And sounds like I should really stay clear of them ;-)
Resident Evil 4 put QTE in a boring exposition monologue with only barely 1 second to react. If you fail the button prompt you have to watch the boring exposition monologue all over again.
