Is God of War III that great?

The quicktime events were a big turn-off to me and are why I never finished the first game. Were they a big part of 2 also and are they still a part of 3? The GoW games always looked great, but I really hate that game mechanic with a fiery hot passion.

I give this thread a 9.4.

It's a staple of the series.

So no

Thanks.  That's a shame.  Visually they look great and the regular action moves were fun in the first game, I just can't over the QTE they used during the boss fights and bigger enemies.  .  I alwayed hoped that they would move away from them.

I give that post a 9.7.

the QTE's are only used to finish off bosses and things like centuar generals... because they have a very cool death animation... you have to do the boss ones.. but for other ones you can just beat them to death...

i play on the hardest available difficulty so the QTE's were sent from heaven... trust me... when you are fighting 2 minotaurs and a wave of grunts... you welcome those QTE's on the minotaurs because it means 1) this baddy is going down 2) a break from dogging and trying to survive 3) some health orbs from the qte

and they have done a really cool job with the QTE's.. they will appear on the screen where the button is located... like x in the middle bottom part... square a the left side middle etc... so you don't have to break away from watching the action...

all in all... playing on hard.. QTE's are my 6th best friend.. after the blades, cestus, whip, doge and grapple.
