Noel SlamrocketHOST
Yes, this would have made a perfect seventh gen triple A title.
Noel SlamrocketHOST
Lots of set pieces, lots of QTEs.
Noel SlamrocketHOST
Chun-Li running through the building burning down and being sad.
Noel SlamrocketHOST
It would've been great.
Noel SlamrocketHOST
[laughs] I'm here to tell you it won't work.
Noel SlamrocketHOST
You could decimate this all the way to Game Boy Camera and it still wouldn't work.
Bob Video GamesHOST
[laughs] You don't want to do QTEs to not fall in the table saw? Weird.
Noel SlamrocketHOST
[laughs] Yeah, why didn't Chun-Li use her master's epic technique of having a live table saw when she fought Bison? [laughs] Jesus Christ.
JoshPANELIST
Like, and there's so many specific examples of that, but th- this isn't a spoiler episode, so I won't talk about it in, uh, specifically.
JoshPANELIST
Um, oh, but the last thing I should mention too is how a big point of contention about the game is like the QTEs.
JoshPANELIST
So like I'll confirm in my playthrough, there was one set of QTEs that you could fail, and that was in the...
JoshPANELIST
That was a, one of the last boss fights in the game.
JoshPANELIST
But every other QTE, sometimes I would just be zoning out and pushing buttons just while the cutscene was playing, and then like I'd be mashing X just to fidget, and it would say R1, and then the R1 would immediately leave the screen 'cause it would read me pushing X and just accept it as the, as like the right input and stuff like that.
TamGUEST
You hit a little, you hit a handful of buttons.
TamGUEST
It's a, it's very QTE style.
TamGUEST
Um, and if you get them right, then, like, you start with a full afterburner booster, your booster starts ready, or your, your abilities start charged.
TamGUEST
And if you've upgraded those abilities or the, those systems, then the, the inputs get a little bit more tricky.
Matt OliverHOST
It does to a point.
Matt OliverHOST
Some of the QTEs, you can't fail like even if you don't don't do anything because i i'm notorious for getting distracted and especially in the house with a little one it doesn't take much so i've been sat there something's happened and the qt is continued anyway you've got to the next point of the story um i i don't know what that decision was why they did that but We are where we are with it.
Matt OliverHOST
It's not like 72's branching path sort of thing or fail States.
Matt OliverHOST
I don't know why, but I'm having a good time with it.
Brian BarnettHOST
Because Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine seeing that in something after seeing like that clip and like how weirdly grounded and like atmospheric this movie is like I can't imagine he just like is shaking and then another corpse falls off of a building and then he looks over and he sees like a red plant and a green plant and he mashes them together and like eats it or rubs it on his wound or something but
Lucas WhiteHOST
Yeah, so I've seen it described a few ways similarly, but there was a headline, I believe it was Aftermath, that was like, this movie is like watching your stoned friend fail QTEs.
Lucas WhiteHOST
And that is, it's really apt.
Lucas WhiteHOST
It's like, so the premise is there's this guy and he's just this like hospital courier who like transports organs from like one hospital to another or whatever.
DonaldPANELIST
...
DonaldPANELIST
QTEs either.
Janci PattersonGUEST
Yeah, it's not my favorite.
DonaldPANELIST
But-
Brandon SandersonHOST
...
Brandon SandersonHOST
but they're so much better in the new Spider-Man games.
Brandon SandersonHOST
So, you know, Mass Effect stumbled on the QTEs-
DonaldPANELIST
Mm-hmm
Dave JacksonHOST
What do you think about this character? Like, is that why they're being the way they are with the, like, incomplete information you have about them, or is he mad because of some decisions that you made, uh, earlier? Who's to say? So a lot of great stuff with the storytelling.
Dave JacksonHOST
[tense music] I wanna talk about, like, briefly kinda talk about the more gamey parts of The Walking Dead, the adventure game puzzles, and then, um, there's a lot of QTEs.
Dave JacksonHOST
Those are fast.
Dave JacksonHOST
There's just a lot of, like, quickly aim and shoot.
Dave JacksonHOST
There's a lot of, like, you have a cursor that you, like, move around the screen, and there's a lot of, like, oh, a zombie grabbed your foot.
Dave JacksonHOST
Move the cursor over the zombie and press A to kick it.
Dave JacksonHOST
QTEs like that.
Dave JacksonHOST
There's a lot of mash QTEs, uh, in here too, where you have to mash the button a bunch, a kind of older style of, uh, gameplay.
Al McKinlayHOST
I think, I think this game, um, does make some stupid decisions, and I also think that people are complaining about things pointlessly in some cases.
Al McKinlayHOST
I think I will agree that the Quick Time Events in this game are weird and pointless.
Al McKinlayHOST
But personally, I think Quick Time, Quick Time Events are pointless full stop, right? I, I don't find them fun.
Al McKinlayHOST
[laughs] Um, and I think it, it just feels like a way to kind of like keep people engaged in the cut scene or something.
Al McKinlayHOST
Like, I don't really get why people continue to use Quick Time Events.
Al McKinlayHOST
And Wolverine has taken it to the extreme, where you can't fail them, um, which is true.
Al McKinlayHOST
There's no setting to allow you to fail Quick Time Events.
VincentGUEST
Mm.
Mike StaubHOST
They were told to make something that they weren't good at making and made this really linear, easy game.
Mike StaubHOST
I've seen stuff online and this could all be conjecture that Wolverine, the game almost plays itself where it's like, you don't even like they have QTEs, but you don't have to do them.
Mike StaubHOST
And it's like, is that true? I don't know.
Mike StaubHOST
I haven't played the game and I'm not going to let, there's also always going to be not to go here, folks.
Chris DavisPANELIST
Time- sometimes it's absolute bullshit.
Chris DavisPANELIST
This afternoon, uh, I got to the, the knife fight with Krauser, and, uh, you could only use a knife in that fight in the main game, and it's the same thing here.
Nick HendersonHOST
It's a knife fight.
Chris DavisPANELIST
The problem is...
Chris DavisPANELIST
Yeah, yeah.
Chris DavisPANELIST
And-
Nick HendersonHOST
I can't remember.
Nick HendersonHOST
Is, is the, is the knife fight in the remake not a QTE like the original?
