In video games, a quick time event (QTE) is a method of context-sensitive gameplay in which the player performs actions on the control device shortly after the appearance of an on-screen instruction/prompt.

Literally.

is that a qte or just an indicator of what buttons do on the screen

it's literally flashing for a second
hit or miss

you have to hit when it's up or miss it

it's a qte

this isnt a qte

oh ok

How isn't it?

it's Nintendo™

Because it's not a cutscene. Just because something has an obnoxious button indicator doesn't mean it's instantly a QTE.

it doesn't trigger cinematics moment, it's not a qte.

what does it matter if it's not a cutscene...? qte's can be part of a cutscene or part of gameplay

its a reaction to a move that you can perform, if you can do it you know the prompt is coming, its not a surprise timed challenge

In video games, a quick time event (QTE) is a method of context-sensitive gameplay in which the player performs actions on the control device shortly after the appearance of an on-screen instruction/prompt.

qtes are only in cutscenes
it's annoying because when the cutscene starts you lay down your controller to scratch your balls but then the game prompts you to do something and you can't react on time and then your controller smells like balls

It's part of a combo system with obnoxious indicators, it's not just a series random button presses that you're required to do in order to advance. After each combo you can expect to press the same button and it will do the same mechanic over and over, as long as you time it right.

>what does it matter if it's not a cutscene
because that's a sine qua non in the definition.

QTE are the comic sans of game mechanics.

There's nothing bad with it, the problem is the use devolopers have given to it, which, along the eyars, has become a hated mechanic thanks to overusing it and in the wrong places.

A QTE from time to time that makes sense context-wise and it has repercussions if you succeed or fail has nothing bad.

This said, I haven't played BotW, so I can't say if it's a good or bad use of it.

That's wrong. God of War was one of the first to abuse QTEs a lot and it did so in and outside cutscnes

who gives a shit if it's a QTE or not

you have to dodge properly to even be able to do it

qtes are fine except for final bosses

Fucking Warhammer 40k Space Marines, you had to remind me

QTE = Quick Time Event

Keyword here is quick. The shit happening in Zelda is a TE = Timed Event, nothing quick about it.

QTE are hated and best known for happening at unexpected times and needing to be reacted to within 1 second or less. Again, whats happening in Zelda is expected and the same thing happens every time you perform said action throughout the game.

So when a game says press square to open a door thats a QTE?

no because you can go back to it and press square will appear again

this is a qte because it's hit or miss forever

It's pretty much just Witch Time in BOTW. Dodge an attack successfully, the game slows things down for a counter-attack.

You can hit it again, just dodge again

Wow... just wow...

You are a very special kind of moron if you really belive this.

wasnt that parry shit in ww basically the same thing?

yes

This isn't a QTE.
QTE is shit like Wind Waker and "press A to wombo combo" the enemy

This is just a reward for dodging on timing, like Witch Time on Bayonetta.

>QTE is shit like Wind Waker and "press A to wombo combo" the enemy
it's the same

Not really. Flurry Rush can only be activated if you dodge in the right direction. Witch Time was just if you pressed the dodge button.

If the enemy hits from up top, dodge to the side. If the enemy hits you with a sweeping low blow, dodge to the back.

But if the attack hits you right when you activate Flurry Rush, you're dead.

So it's not a braindead QTE faggots keep saying.

Are you retarded?

>WW
>target enemy
>HURRY NOW PRESS A TO DODGE AND ATTACK

>BotW
>target enemy
>dodge the attack, manually
>now you can mash Y to deal a lot of damage, or not if you don't want to.
