QTEs aren't inherently bad. The quality depends on the craftsmen. They can enrich games with emotionally charged moments the game wouldn’t have otherwise. I've played games where they felt sooooo damn good. Like finishing off a boss or enemy in spectacular fashion and you just want to jump up and say "aaaaaaggggggggggggggggg!!!! yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa$#^#$@!!!!!!"

I actually didn't mind the force unleashed ones. They are optional but if you choose to do them you get an extra bonus of XP or health, much like God of War's finishers. Splinter Cell's mark and execute is optional too, and I saw a video where the developer missed so it's not completely automatic.

Arkham Asylum was one of my favorite games last year and I like how they masked the QTEs. During fights a little indicator would flash when you needed to counter but it didn't directly say you needed to push a button, you just knew what it meant.

Fahrenheit's context sensitive stuff was actually pretty cool. Instead of just pressing A to open doors you hold down A and pull the stick back to simulate pulling the door and other stuff like that. Interestingly Fahrenheit also had some of the worst QTEs too later on. Long and instant death.

Most of the time I like when games have QTEs. Usually 'cause cutscenes bore me. Very few games are interesting enough for me to stay focused during the scenes. QTEs keep me on my toes, like in Bayonetta. Though I don't like when the QTE commands don't match the rest of the game's configuration. I kinda don't like when the QTEs stay the same. It takes a little bit of the reflex part out of it. I think a lot of RE4's QTEs would switch between R+L or A+B.

OK I got another one lol.

I decided to try out the new Poupeegirl DS game on an emulator. OMG! It's so boring. It has a lot of same features as the online game that I always play, but made clumsier. The dress up especially, it's so annoying to navigate around the closet. The starting items are ugly as hell and exactly the same cheap items that u can get on the online version. I admit I didn't play it very long but that's because it just had no hook... I'll stick to my online poupee XD

I nominate, SHADOWGATE (NES)



I had this game on NES when I was a kid, and for the life of me I couldn't get past the third freaking room, and there was no FAQs back then or save states and it wasn't popular enough to be in the Nintendo magazine guides D:

I remember that game, along with Deja Vu and Uninvited.

I finished all three without a guide.

Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor.

Even the installer was broken beyond comprehension. Trying to install it to a directory other than the default will send some where you specified and the rest to the default. Trying to uninstall it would anger it enough to take all sorts of other important files with it. Unless there's another game out there that can murder your Windows installation, I'd say this one wins.

Which is a shame since Myth Drannor was a cool setting (in the tabletop version anyway).

That's three :P

The story is divisive as was the gameplay, but it wasn't broken by any means.

It's great purely for this scene alone:

I didn't remember FF XII having a story... um... :roll:

None of the main series games should be listed in worst game ever though. cos...
Attack
White Magic
Cover --> Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Items


Kids nowadays are lucky enough to get real FF games~ :angry:

To bring spirits up. Go make yourself a Papercraft Moogle :twothumbs

In my opinion, FF X-2 is the worst Final Fantasy. There's nothing to save ...

I agree. The music, the story, the characters .... :yawn: Everything is totally worthless ... Square Enix didn't respect fans.
