Throwdown Ep. 24 – “Press X to Win”
Tony Polanco from The Koalition writes:
"With The Order: 1886‘s controversial release still on everyone’s lips, the subject of Quick Time Events has risen again. Though the mechanic has a long and storied history, many feel it’s not a valid (or even real) gameplay mechanic. For our main topic we discuss QTEs from both sides. We debate why they are/aren’t a viable way to interact with games and also talk about some games that had the best and worst QTEs.
Other topics: Battle Chasers video game, Xbox Live Gold price slashed, Games With Gold getting good games, Net Neutrality ruling, minority Spider-Man, and Neil Blomkamp directing new Alien film."
