Why do most gamers want Quick Time Events?

[THE VERY REVEREND MISTER BONK]

They're everywhere! A blight on our joy blowing raspberries us. A pox on the ass of quality. A pulsating swamp of pollution on our pristine environment (the quick tome events that is - not the gamers).

They offer nothing. They give nothing. They enhance nothing. Studios have gone out of business because of Quick Time Events. Why did Song Of Horror, Tormented Fathers and Broken Porcelain flop in such a spectacular fashion instead of becoming legendary? That's right - because of QUICK TIME EVENTS!

Why on earth do you guys like them so much? Tell me, I deserve to know what madness caused all of this!

I hate them. The worst was RE5. The last few levels where you fight Wesker has a bunch of them and I must have died hundreds of times. Not even exaggerating. Literally hundreds of times.

[salamander]

...do they? i do not think they do. i have never personally heard a positive thing about quick time events. i have only ever heard gamers disliking them.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looks like it might be peak QTE.

And one of the most popular RE titles with all those QTE's. The mind boggles.

actually weridly enough, i am thinking that the QTEs in RE4/RE5 are some of the ONLY good examples of QTEs in video games. i will admit to being kind of biased, as a horror/re fan. but the ways they are implemented do not really "replace" gameplay. they just add additional aspects to it (or cutscenes)

people want fluent gaming experience, and epic moves in game, like in god of war, or the eye ball scene in dead space 2,

and they would like to participate in these by pressing buttons, watching without interaction doesn't satisfy them.

its hard to think if there is only one move their hero can make and only a long film of story to watch through. and people will still prefer game towards video or books.

metal gear solid 2,doesn't have as much qte,but the hero has many moves, hold up, tranquilize, knock out are the enemies reaction ,

its about having many moves and reaction that makes game interesting,
qte is about getting players through visual stunt of story and still allow them to participate somehow. not actually playable, shouldn't be considered so.

f done correctly yes. However placing them in everything can destroy a product that would have done very well without them.

I can do without QTE (Quick Time Events), thank you very much, Captain.

God I hate quick time events. I also hate how games turn into some stupid single button press movie where if you fail the button press you have to rewatch that portion of the movie.

I don't think I've ever heard a single person say they're a fan of quick time events. RE 4 isn't popular because of the QTEs. It's popular in spite of them.

[Lord Bullingdon]

I hate those. A lot.

The RE 4 knife fight was one of those annoying ones where if you missed you had to just rewatch the entire thing. Even missing just once was enough to be an annoyance. I didn't want to watch them go through the dialogue a second time.

I think it's universally hated by both groups. I'm not sure why gaming companies keep adding it to their games. I think there are parts of the games they create where they don't know how to make that specific part playable, so they make it a movie and load it with quick time events. It's obnoxious either way.
