Addai67: So your statement that "QTE's are explained in the manual" isn't true. Nor do you get an explanation onscreen. And like I said, no amount of explanation can make button spamming fun. Whoever thought including these in the game was a good idea was smoking something.
Did you actually read through my post, or just skimmed through it, skipping the important bits as you did the manual? The end of my post clearly indicates that I made a mistake in my original post, and that the manual DOES talk about different combinations of key presses, i.e. single blows, a series of them, and even specifically mentions button presses for counter-attacks. On-screen, the button presses even shows up looking like keyboard buttons.
You know what's funny; I only added that last part previously too because I had a hunch that if I hadn't you're going to pick on every bit of discrepancy to try to win this argument, after all you didn't otherwise have a valid point to argue about on the matter. So I just had to make sure everything's correct before you reply. Thanks for proving me right.
You're entitled to your opinion that pressing a few SPECIFIC and ALTERNATING buttons amounts to "button spamming", and that is not fun. I disagree with your definition, and I'm neutral to the implementation.
Addai67: You call it "control," I call it tedious having to click for every single stroke.
Right... and you're saying that in TW1 you don't have to click for each stroke? You're saying can click once and Geralt will continues to slash until you tell him to stop? Did we even play the same game?
Sarcasm aside, the original point I was making was not that in TW2 you "get to" click at each stroke (because it's the same for TW1 and TW2 - you HAVE TO click for each stroke), it was that unlike TW1, you can select either Strong or Fast for each stroke, something you cannot readily do with TW1 (You have to switch stance before clicking the attack button; two steps instead of one) . In essense, TW1 and TW2 both uses the same one-click-per-stroke mechanics, with TW1 losing out because it requires twice the amount of keystrokes to do the same thing.
darkwoof: Your reply is starting to make me think that you're not so much interested in critically examining the issue at hand but just trying to win an argument at all cost.
Addai67: I'm making my points, you're making yours. That's what a discussion is. You expect me to just agree with you? Sorry, I don't.
No, your latest replies have clearly shown exactly what I'm accusing you of, and this does not amount to a "Discussion".
1) You blatantly skip over any bit of information provided by the other party that is disfavourable to your argument (either because you choose not to read them or deliberately ignores them as if they do not exist) E.g. Not reading the manual, nor parts of replies that shows produces evidence of the supposedly "missing info".
2) You talk about making points but you refute factual arguments not by making counter-points, but by simply asserting your opinions on things, or worse, by making things up. E.g. Denouncing TW2's "one-click-per-stroke" mechanism when TW1 uses the same mechanism; to a worse degree.
I'd gladly call you a troll since you're obviously not interested in discussing things objectively but just want to put others down with your differing opinions, but having met Trolls in-game, I'd consider it being unfair to their good kind.
Good day, Sir. I think it unlikely that I shall want to spend further precious time talking to an imbecile again, and a self-righteous egoistic one at that. What a waste of time this has been.
