SPOILERS!!! Finished my first playthrough alone and i still hate QTEs. Who lived and died in yours?

Quick Time Events or QTEs are lazy videogame mechanics with no thought put into them. When comebined with the framerate issues this game has, you're gonna mess up at least one QTE and that's gonna be an important one most likely.

The story was definitely short, but I plan on playing through it multiple times for different outcomes, hopefully there are different ones and not the illusion of choice kind of stuff in most games like this. I'm gonna try multiplayer too, just gotta add a bunch of random people to my friends list and play with them.

Conrad and Brad died in my playthru. Conrad died because of a framedrop that screwed up my QTE and Brad died because they switched up the last QTE with a button mash one and threw off my flow of getting every QTE right. Alex, Fliss and Julia survived and went on to smash each other somewhere.

The game runs perfectly, I'm on my third playthrough and I'm playing co-op just fine.
No bugs, no glitches, no framerate drops (I'm playing at steady 90fps 90hz with a gtx 1060).

I agree that QTE are ♥♥♥♥ but maybe the game wants you to stay focused and pay attention to it?
Stay focused and you're going to be fine, or just keep blaming the game for being slow and dumb.

or how about you just eat a fat knob and stop acting superior just because your parents bought you a prebuilt PC? People with value to society work to earn their computer parts that they build themselves.

The TLDR version is
Julia got the distributor cap needed for the Duke ship, met back up with Alex, then they ran into Fliss and took the Duke ship to escape.

If you're having issues you can enable so that QTE's don't time out unless you press the wrong button. It's under accessibility, works only for Solo.

You don't even have the game and sound like somebody that ragequits a lot. You probably bought the game and refunded when you got everyone killed lmfao

I agree that the QTEs are bad, and they're only made worse with default keyboard controls. I had to switch over to arrow keys so I could hit them properly because my lizard brain refuses to know what and where WASD is.

In the end, the two best characters (Brad & Fliss) survived. Conrad died because keyboard controls, Julia died because I tried to play along with Junior's delusions like a Trickster God and Alex died because I stabbed Chuck E. Cheese. Pretty fun game but I'm gonna hate replaying it for the achievements and true end.

Conrad got away on the speedboat. Julia got shot in the head. Everyone else survived. No framerate issues

I'd say most fps drops are on your end... fyi i did have fps drops but that is due to heating issues on my laptop woosh... But i played through it coop, only the girls survived. I fcked up the 2nd ladder qte on Conrad hitting s instead of w *he dropped RIP* in panic my friend didn't want to stab Fliss as Alex but she didn't realise not doing anything is a choice so Alex ended up stabbing himself. Brad got shot by the crazed Pirate.The 2 girls escaped via heli.

My first playthrough, Brad and Fliss died. Fliss to an 'Oh god, that was a button mash?' right at the very end. Second playthrough, I had five survivors. On that second round I messed one QTE (the heartbeat one) due to a pretty nasty frame drop as it started, but it turned out to be for the best.

Definitely puts me in the mood to play Until Dawn, and I hope they port it over as the last part of the anthology. (I know, its a Sony but I can dream)
