QTE ruins this game

[Boondock]

When I play turn based RPGs, Im not looking for reflex button mashing after every single move and every single time I am hit.

There is an option for a longer QTE window, and it doesnt work. Why there isnt an option to just do them automatically like there is for pinning I will never know.

Such a shame.

edit: the issue is that it isnt just a timed button press, its that you have to pick the right button. THAT is what is so annoying about it.

No. They really don't. They aren't difficult and they're only for extra damage.

They're not just for extra damage, if you fail one you get counterattacked as well.

It suits the theme perfectly do they not? All Wrestling games have QTE type mechanics in them when it comes to pins/submissions.

Can we change what controller UI buttons the game shows us, or is it still Defaulted to Xbox like in the demo?

I asked in another thread but got no real response =(

Exactly. It seems everyone thought it was solely a JRPG and missed the whole "wrestling" part of it.

Mario RPG has QTE attacks and is the second best JRPG ever made.

QTE is the best thing that could happen for RPG since Mario RPG

I hate to tell this but you're playing a VIDEO GAME. Button mashing doesn't make it wrestling. lol

Turn-based. RPG. Nothing in those concepts implies reflexive timing input.

I don't know why you can't accept the fact that people don't like monkeypressing additional input. You love it. Great. You can have it and you DO have it, so play the game and stop telling people what they can't like. Meanwhile, it can also be made optional so that other people don't have to do it if they don't like it.

Tell us you've never played mario rpg without telling us you've never played mario rpg (or mario & luigi games, paper mario or any of the other many games that use this style of combat).... Seriously though, I love it, it makes turn based combat more engaging. People need to stop complaining about it, if you don't like it, refund and move on and you really should have played the demo first.

We didn't all follow Nintendo's lineage.
I was mostly PC/Snes only at that point, and looking up when Mario RPG released I would have been playing things like Ultima, Daggerfall, Fallout and other CRPG's along with more traditional Turnbased JRPG's on the Snes; until subsequently getting into the Playstation era games of similar genres in the following years.

More recently and for things I am familiar with, Bug Fables and Ikenfell have options to allow auto-completion of the minigame, essentially making them optional.
I was actually looking into the Mario RPG Remaster set to come out this November on the Switch but now this has given me pause. Thanks for the heads up :/
I wonder if they'll add similar modernizations to it for us to circumvent them..

Send in the clowns...

The game does have a Slow QTE option through the pause menu. Sounds like a good option for anyone that isn't feeling the button prompts

Many wrestling games have elements involving button mashing. And many video games, period, have button mashing. So if I am playing a "VIDEO GAME" why is button mashing such a bad thing?

Reflexive timing input may not be implied by a turn based RPG but it's heavily shown in all the demos and trailers for the game. It's a case of people not paying attention to what they buy and being mad when it doesn't play the way they wanted it to.

213 peak Steam users for a game that got decent publicity and a fair number of reviews, including many that complained about the QTEs and game design. Argue that QTEs don't hurt the game and it has great design all you want. The numbers don't lie.

guarantee you this game mad a ♥♥♥♥ ton of money on switch, where the people who enjoy games like this get their games are.

I'm sorry they didnt give you the sonic OC goofy character creator you wanted.

Edit: The "peak steam users" ♥♥♥♥ is so annoying btw. We get it bro you saw the articles about Baldurs Gate and now you think day 1 concurrent users determine lifetime sales.

Completely ignoring the fact that Nier Automata had middling day 1 users and is on track to sell 8-10 million lifetime copies.
