No more QTE please.

[Burado_T]

I mean we had those "press the DDR buttons" events for christmas and you saw how many people disliked that... My point isn't "you people with disabilities are being lazy" but I love how you guys shove words in my mouth. My point is, we found a way to keep going regardless instead of asking for accommodations to be made every instance we were stuck.




I would say it is. Can you handle 12 seconds of keeping the gauge up? You did? Good you earned to see what comes next. You didn't? Well, try again next time, you can do it.

It's really not that bad as people make it out to be. I think the punishment is just fine to the trial's severity.



He would call me out if I used one of those controllers that repeats the button when held down :^)

You see, there are clear boundaries between laziness, overcoming, and impossibility in the physical plane, and in general this QTE really stands out sharply against the background of the battle with Shinryu, etc.
And you do not quite correctly express yourself, if you like trials, there are extremes, savages and extremes for you. But then they created a little hardcore to the casual part of the game.

[Hatfright]

But there is always another way to progress somehow .

Exept, there isn't. Noone in their right mind gonna destroy their property (keyboards and gamepads are a property) for something like that. What else do we need to do, dance on our heads to simply finish the story trial.
And yet again you missed the point:

Noone says "handle us the story on a nice plate". People just said "stop putting in mechanics that are not fun and not doable for some at the same time in a damn easy difficulty fight".

lol dude. Wait. Hear me out.

Do you destroy a piano when playing really fast? Because when people say mash or bash, they don't mean literally try to break the thing. They mean tap-pity tap tap across multiple keys. No one's going Angry German Kid. They're going keyboard cat.

You missed this part, apparently:

rip the keyboard out and bang it against your table

Also, please, don't compare a piano with china made plastic gamepads. That's just won't do.

You are mistaken because you missed the moment when it was said directly, without slang. Do what you want, but overcoming it, you understand that overcoming this QTE and not having physical functionality for it is not the same thing. And this problem does not exist from the start of the game, but many years later, which puts all progress at a standstill and is unacceptable. Because the game has become more casual than hardcore over the years. Just one QTE makes you stop after so many years, it is unreasonable.

Yet again you're shoving words in my mouth. There's obviously yet another 1:1 disagreement in this thread on opinions on the matter so I'm done here lol. Also back in the day, people did nearly destroy their controllers just to see content lol. The mechanic is fun and it is very much do-able.

I mean idk about you but I can take my keyboard and press it against the side of my table and it'll hit every key as I rub it up and down the sides lol. Seriously lol.

There are mechanics and tasks that you can really adapt to. But, tell me, please, how do you suggest players with sick hands get around QTE? People tell you directly "It physically hurts us to do this," you answer "Find a way." What? Why should trials in the game cause real pain?
I also want to note that here we are talking only about QTE, and not about simplifying game mechanics in general. This is not a smart and uninteresting task. It does not say anything about the cohesion of the party, does not throw any challenge.

"Sick hands"... Ngl, this made me chuckle at the terminology here. If you have temporary condition that's preventing this, why are you doing something that would be putting your hands at risk in the first place? Like going on a jog with a strained ankle. If you have a permanent condition? I gave a multitude of examples prior already but I again retort with "what did people do before we had the ability to whine back to change for everyone else?". I do know this is just about the QTE but I personally found it great to do as many others have. It does in fact offer a challenge, whether or not you have an opinion on that, it's a fact that it does and you can find videos of people "struggling" wanting to beat it. Not in such a way that's demanding it to change or thinking its unfair, but in such a way that is "AH GEEZ I BARELY MADE IT". Yes, it is a challenge, and again there isn't anything wrong with it being so difficult for the FINALE OF SHADOWBRINGERS.

It also demands that everyone tries their best, which if you can't in a duty finder queue, then consider going with friends in a private queue.

There's plenty of other games that do this. Triple A titles at that.


Personally, I found the struggle of keeping the gauge up to make the instance feel more real, because that is actually the point of the sequence... You're struggling, literally, and hard. So call me cold, argue my logic, throw in my face how unfair it is or shove more words in my mouth how I'm just calling people lazy apparently, but I'm done here and will just say "deal with it" because you can find ways to deal with it. If people can do the same in other games that require such a feat while impaired, then I see no difference here.

You are in a really strange dialogue, bypassing the thinking of the root cause. People write about the technical problems of physiology and after many years and three add-ons they get frankly stupid mechanics. You only bring misunderstanding into this discussion, where you do not see further than your position

Welcome to literally everyone on forums.

Lol, idk, lol, i'm glad you're fortunate enough, lol, but people happens to play on laptops, lol, was that too much "lol", lol.

On a more serious note, for someone who's "done here" you're making a lot of effort to prove your point. And if you're considering pressing one button to the ground "a challenge"...

I like the fight. I really do. More tank LB3, please. But, really, pushing one button isn't nearly as fun as pressing all your defensive spells and abilities so party could live to fight another day. There's much, much, MUCH more engaging ways to make us feel accomplishment at THE FINALE OF SHADOWBRINGERS. But no. Smash a button or you all gonna die. It's just bad game design.

[RajNish]

Yes, it is a challenge, and again there isn't anything wrong with it being so difficult for the FINALE OF SHADOWBRINGERS.

No, this is not a challenge, this is an absolutely unreasonable move in a casual game that players with different abilities go through, forcing them to press the button many times, and then, if they cannot do this, oppose the whole group that has a wipe.

What you are doing now is common bullying. For the reason that you do not like the fact that others from their position, politely report the shortcomings of the game mechanics. I bet you will soon be disappointed with this mechanic when someone will start trolling your group.
