QTE's are not that hard at all...I had no problem hitting the buttons on screen in time for any God of War game. Its all about timing and reflexes. It honestly isn't that difficult.

This is the 6th or 7th time I've seen this. Yes, we get that QTE's aren't difficult FOR YOU. For some of us they don't click as well, I am a pretty damned good gamer, I've been doing it for 27 years and I challange anyone here to get 1,000,000 points on Kaboom! from the Atari 2600 and then talk to me about effing "reflexes". People have differing skills and abilities, and we tend to get better at things we LIKE doing, and do the bare minimum at things we don't like/annoy us. Go be a l33t gamer somewhere else and let us pathetic humans complain about things we don't like.

Sorry that you're getting the brunt of this iLLmatic, but I hate people thinking that because something is easy for them there must be something wrong with someone that it's not easy for.

Yeah, I ignore those people.  I may suck at QTE's and you think that could say something about my reaction times but play me in Tetris where I can whip most people but the incredibly crazy good Japanese people and tell me that again (mainly because I've never tried too hard to learn how to setup T-Spins on purpose). 

I guarantee you that if you see me play Tetris you won't say I have bad reaction times. 

And I shouldn't play Heavenly Sword but that's mainly because it's not a good game.

You don't want to be judged as a gamer just because you aren't good with QTE, but YOU judge a game just because YOU are not good with the game's QTE? How does that work mate?

after watching in it on youtube, the final boss battle -becuause i totally forgot it- I think the dude is overreacting or trying to be cool by ranting a masterpiece.

here is the video *spoilers obviously* , jump to 1:40 :

I just finished the game yesterday, and I totally know what you mean, so incredibly annoying. Out of my 25 deaths in the game, about 20 were related to QTEs, I really do suck at them though..

I'm starting to think he quit being a mod so he could troll the ps3 to death and since he used to be a mod the mods here don't ban him. Imagine if every week I was posting about how I hate mario and stuff on the wii forum, I would be a goner for sure. Anyway, when are you going to post your official I hate gow 3 thread, I want to see how far you can't push the trolling and get away with it.



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

QTE are ok if done right, but I don't like them at the very end with something like that.
Did you play at a higher difficulty? I remember some were tough but not that tough.



THATGUY on 31 March 2010

The QTE'S are easy on god of war 1 and 2. i didnt need to guess and im pretty sure the vast majority didnt either, u must have a very slow reaction time.

I was just like you when I was playing God od War II. I couldn't complete the quick time event where you were fighting the enemy with the new spear weapon while riding on the griffin. I kept fucking up. So I declared that I would never play the franchise ever again.

I soon changed my mind and tried it again. This time I finaly got it. I soon realized I just suck at GOW. My problem was not memorizing the PS button layout. After that, it was a cakewalk.

Just beat the game twesterm, and am indeed not a fan of QTEs, however....

That was a really easy one. 4 buttons and a circle mash which you KNEW was coming. Sorry, but you just are really bad at this game, or perhaps using the PS3 controller at all. Sucks to be you.
