hey guys, i was working out some biophysical chemistry problems when i had this funny thought about the new Zelda being littered with quick time events and what the reprecussions of that would be. What do you guys think about that? 

Think about what the ramifications would be for this game review-wise if it were a ten hour game with maybe 1 or 2 dungeons and had a ton of quick time events. What kind of scores would it be getting? Personally, I think this game would score well below the 65 that the Order is currently sitting at, and nobody would try to defend it, saying that it deserves higher. So I think a game that offers as much as The Order does is kind of lucky to be in the yellow because if it were Zelda that had those problems, the gamee would be in the red for sure. What do you guys think? Would Zelda be able to be full of QTE and still be able to be a 90+ game, or are those two ideas completely irreconcileable?

If Zelda was full of QTE and is only 10 hours long with one or two dungeons, Nintendo has finally become sega and therefore, that company is dead

But thankfully, that will never happen

Doubtful, and QTE as stupid and annoying as they  didn't stop Resident Evil 4 from having a good score. Resident Evil 4 had an entire battle with it, just like The Order.

It won't have, so...

If Zelda ever had QTE, people would start tearing down walls.

i hate QTE's no matter who decides to make them

The game would get torn apart if that were to happen. Fortunately it won't.

I think there is a different expectation for Zelda though because of it's past installments. I think that would be the main thing driving the score down.

ok, so we know that it wont, so... what? just because something has no chance of happening, we cant discuss a hypothetical situation? We just dismiss it before we can gain any insight on what it means for where peoples mindsets are? sounds reasonable. 

That hypothetical is too way out there to base an argument around that, choose another game maybe(most core Nintendo franchises are built around gameplay and most other things are secondary).

Are people still upset about The Order review scores though? How many mediocre shooters that have focused on graphics a bit too much to the detriment of gameplay have come and gone in the history of videogaming already?

People should just get over it and move on people. You can enjoy the game anyway without critics validating your opinion.

I'd enjoy it. I love QTE's.
