WWWHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY does this "mechanic" exist? Playing God of War 3 and I'm tired as shit of spamming Triangle to move a log or open a door or chest or whatever. I just finished The Last of Us and had to spam Square if an infected grabbed me and also had to spam Triangle to open shit.
THIS IS NOT FUN. Why do devs add this garbage? What's wrong with just pressing triangle once? When has a mash event EVER been good? The only time I remember it being done kinda well is in the original MGS during the torture scene and that's because they made it almost impossible to spam Square fast enough to survive the torture. It also kinda works in Olympics games as it's a test of how fast you can throw a spear or run or whatever. BUT THATS IT. I DONT NEED or WANT button spamming in my games EVER again!!
Is there something we as 4channers can do to get developers attention on this so we can remove it from games for good?
Joseph Morris
its immersive and cinematic.
Christopher Myers
Have you played American Wasteland? There's a section where you need to do that and it's genuinely unfair because you need to do it fast for like 30 seconds.
Nathan Baker
Tony Hawk game? I don't recall that, maybe I didn't reach that level/
Logan Stewart
Yeah. It was complete bullshit and I almost stopped playing the game.
You had to tap it so fast and for so long that as a kid, I could barely do it.
Elijah Bennett
you do realize that most of the time just tapping the button helps? it's not hard, you're not supposed to damage your controller and it adds a little to immersion. but you're probably exaggerating
Blake Johnson
Its only fun if its competitve. You and a friend on a couch just spazzing out on your controllers is what made mario party fun
Bentley Roberts
>you're not supposed to damage your controller
Not OP but MGS1 literally claimed a controller. Dualshock 3 held up for MGS4 though.
Easton Gonzalez
it's a lot easier to program a button mash event than it is to make a unique set piece that is engaging and uses the default controls
actually, it's not that hard, bad designers are bad lol. also retards will call it HOOOIYPE re: w101
Austin Lee
fuck i remember that i never finished the game because of that
Luke Ramirez
>WWWHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Seems as though you have no trouble spamming the same input.
Austin Campbell
I was bitching about this a while ago. Seems to mostly appear in cinematic games like Uncharted. Since you're mostly just walking, it tricks you into thinking you're actually doing something instead of taking even more control from you and just letting you watch a cutscene within an already game-lemgth cutscene. That's my guess.
Kevin Anderson
They want you to do something to achieve something, >oh i'll just dantily touch a single button to open a massive door like some sort of sissy britches NO U MUST SPAM IN A MINUTE OF POWERFUL BUTTONG PRESSING
Brody Morris
I don't even remember how I passed it. It's probably the best example of why these design choices suck.
Michael Reed
Spam button is annoying but doable. Mechanic where you need to jiggle your stick left to right to exit a stun like in MGR for example is worse. I'm aways afraid I'm going to brake my controller
Alexander Jackson
see this is where you are outed as the retard, because you just need to hold the button on a keyboard for it to do that, even basic typing gets it right
William Davis
I think he was just trying to make a simple joke, man
Joseph Reed
>complaining about a QTE >on a playstation exclusive >on god of war >the game that is defined by QTEs
Lucas Campbell
>Actually works in God Hand to give you maximum Kenshiro effect
Zachary Thomas
TIME FOR THE TWO OF US TO TEAM UP!
Thomas Torres
my friend passed it because he had some knock of controller that had the turbo button
Lincoln Wilson
It took me 8 years to forget this part of my life you motherfucker
Alexander Barnes
At least in God Hand they were all hilarious.
Jeremiah Murphy
I didn't know you could also press x.
Isaiah Miller
Because you have to give brainless players something to do, otherwise they fell asleep watching 2 seconds open chest or heavy gate animation.
