Top 5 Best Quick Time Events in Video Games

[@shadowlinkbds]

I normally don't like QTEs but when I do they're usually in games that perform finishing moves on bosses. Those are the most fun uses of that trope.

[@silverreaps6803]

Like bayonetta?

[@ekimmak]

That's funny. Because the most notorious QTEs I can think of are the ones that will delete all your progress on a boss because you didn't know the half-second window of opportunity chain of events. Spiderman 3 is a game I beat, but can't say I enjoyed.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Tales of Arise which came out recently allows 1 every single big fight. Letting you finish a boss or big monster in epic fashion.

[@necroticsynthesis4958]

For the most part, agreed. I still feel like Techland robbed us in Dying Light, though. A QTE boss fight at the end of my zombie parkour game, after running and climbing up a massive tower while being chased by the most deadly zombies in the game, adrenaline and tension building for the final fight... And it's just knife fight QTEs. It's good, but it feels absolutely out of place, instead of just having a regular boss fight.

[@thequickmasterrace6]

No More Heroes did it really well as well

[@StormSnakeMG]

Asura's Wrath: A single button press can destroy a world-sized deity Also Asura's Wrath: *BOOBIE QTE*

[@CrazeeAdam]

Only for the important things right ;)

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

one of my favorite parts of that section is how your former sensei just fucking wrecks your shit the second Asura gets a little too personal spacey with that being what progresses the plot.

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

Kratos from God of war: foolish _boi_

[@otakutsukonko]

Poseidon was a good choice, but the finishing blows against Zeus could have also been on here. You pummel Zeus till your screen turns black from being covered in blood and you only stop when YOU decide to stop... When you've had enough. When you think he's finally paid enough for all the torment he put you through.

[@WarlockX4]

I kept pushing the button for 5 minutes straight waiting for the game to tell me to stop. I just kept thinking, "Dude, I know you're angry but when is this going to end?" Then I got tired and stopped and felt like a moron when the game continued after...

[@Kwatcher100]

That none of the sex mini games made it on here feels criminal.

[@smartboy201]

It's not even "when you think he'd finally paid", it's "when your body gives out and you lack anyone willing to take over button-mashing duties that surrounds you." If it wasn't all the way at the end of the game, I'm pretty sure we'd have a record for "longest sustained Zeus-punching session." Heck, I'd be surprised if it didn't already exist, and exceed 1 hour!

[@jorgediazorellana9620]

You should do a funny things that happens when you fail the QTEs. One that comes to mind is the spiderman one where he flops to the ground

[@silverreaps6803]

"Help, please, someone?" **faceplant** "I'm going to die" **BOOM**

[@TheJ13579]

The one from Spider-Man: Web of Shadows? Love that one.

[@camharkness]

Its sadly not that funny, but in sonic forces if you fail the fist bump QTE sonic and oc stumble for a second.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

So every other QTE fail in W101?

[@davidgeorge1943]

If I had to pick one from 101, it would be Pink taking a call with her BFF, who's implied to be Sylvia from Viewtiful Joe.

[@DonaldMurf]

6:38 "I think I sawr ah ved-eh-o" got me pretty good.

[@kzyrichm]

NO ONE ever notices that the last contact with the boulder Chris Redfield makes is a F*CKING HEADBUTT!

[@StormSnakeMG]

While that would be cool, he actually just punches it with both his fists. I looked, he doesn't headbutt it.

[@s.p.d.magentaranger1822]

Now that's using your head! I'll leave.

[@simbathedog55]

Kingdom Hearts 2's Reaction Commands fit really well to showcase Sora's new acrobatic skill and ability, allowing you to exploit enemy weaknesses and gain cool advantages. Stomp on a healer and steal their healing, take a dangerous earlygame enemy and stop them in their tracks, steal a boss's giant claymore or clash on the side of a building, they were always cinematic and powerful. Of course the best one is Xemnas's laser dome, which despite being a 2 button masher, looks spectacular. Sora and Riku parrying thousands of lasers as they come down on you, so fast that it literally whites out the screen. Talk about awesome.

[@PowerPandaMods]

There is also the similar moment from KH3 where you summon the entire playerbase of Kingdom Hearts Unchained X. I didn't care about the mobile game, and I thought the last world in KH3 was awful, but that moment really stood out.

[@pcachu]

The Poseidon finisher is simultaneously the most intuitive and the most horrific control input gesture ever.

[@claytonrios1]

I love the QTEs in No More Heroes 2. Especially since they make the combat so much more satisfying and they give you enough time to react.

[@WarlockX4]

Damn straight. Love no more heroes...

[@daffyhat]

I don't know if the prompts from Telltale games count as QTEs, but if they do the entirety of the Finger Gun Fight from Tales from the Borderlands my personal #1.

[@sarafontanini7051]

or the entire final boss battle

[@TiltCntrlz]

That was on a whole different level.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

the finger gun fight was GOLD! The fact that due to plot your character is voiced by Patrick Warlburton acting like he's impersonating HIMSELF is just the icing on the cake. Whenever the voice direction is clearly "badly impersonate your own voice", I'm dying.

[@ryanfriedrich6634]

Wow, can't believe "Press F to pay respects" was number 1.

[@rabbidluigi]

F

[@joshualighttime604]

That on the other list

[@michaelnelson1127]

Wonderful 101 handles their QTEs amazingly, in my opinion, especially the final one. Not just from the intense pressure, but seeing the other characters add to the button mashing (except for Yellow who’s just PETTING IT) pushes you even further to complete it. Also Jergingha’s scream at the end could be a fitting stand-in for your screaming as your hand explodes afterwards.

[@ackbarfan5556]

I would've put the Force Unleashed on this list because Starkiller finishers were so badass.

[@joshualighttime604]

Which one. The first game where he throws vader into the next room or when he lighting strikes vader in the second game?

[@tissue3928]

Appreciate the final boss theme from yakuza 5 at the start, but would have liked to see a yakuza QTE mentioned. The chair QTE in judgment really comes to mind

[@isenokami7810]

I just want to say this since Rabbid brought up MGS3 yet again (admittedly after quite a lot of time not mentioning it): while it’s not one of my personal favorites like it is for him, it’s hands down the most perfectly paced game I have ever played. Okay, the Virtuous Mission and the ending can drag out depending on who you ask, but the meat of the gameplay, from the start of Operation Snake Eater to that last fight with The Boss, perfectly spaced out the boss fights and keeps everything moving.

[@shawnheatherly]

I am so happy to see the Wonderful 101 getting praised here. That finale is amazing.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

It is positively absolutely wonderful !)

[@sirrealgaming6913]

I love it more ! 😠 That game ever getting a sequel by Kamiya is when I officially lose my goddamn mind in a continuous mental orgasm.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

I still remember my surprise when the cutscenes in SoulCalibur 3 had QTEs that actually affected your health or story options. Strange to see in a fighting game, but definitely charming!

[@karmascamera5275]

What about Boost Strikes from *Tales of Arise”?

[@newbiegamelover4767]

Henry Stickmin had some good quick time events. They were usually there to mock you for being too slow. One of my favorite fail screens for failing a QTE literally said " Ok. Ok. No more quick time events." I think what helps me like these is the fact that failing is the whole point of the Henry Stickmin games, so you're actually encouraged to sit back the first time one of these come up, that way, you're more prepared on your next attempt.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

also doesn't hurt that the compilation release added the timers to EVERY game. Sure it sort of ruins the joke of those 2 guards seeing you eavesdrop on them but knowing how long you have for the rest of the choices is worth it.

[@newbiegamelover4767]

@@Triforce_of_Doom Yeah, I definitely liked it when they came up with that.

[@amirgarcia547]

I only usually like QTEs if the game revolves around ‘em, such as in Asura’s Wrath, Metal Gear Rising or Kingdom Hearts. That being said, these’re definitely some of the best out there, and the Chris boulder punching moment is so legendary that it was even referenced in RE8 lol.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

Go finish The Wonderful 101. Any other QTEs will forever pale in comparison to that awesomness. Nothing in Kingdom Hearts even starts to come close to that absolute craziness. I won't even start talking about how absolutely unique it's combat system is. It is simply incredible. Well, if you are not a moron, ofcourse. Because if you are then it's the worst game ever.

[@Ultradragon16]

I may be wrong here, but I don't think Kingdom Hearts revolves around QTEs

[@ryohazuki3161]

Is asuras wrath any good, like is there any gameplay or is the entire game just qte's

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

@@ryohazuki3161 It kinda is good and yeah, it has basic beatemup mechanics outside of the qtes. It's nothing hard or fancy, a bit buttonmashy. Basically most simple enemies are dispatched by doing Asura's basic combo on them, but the bosses have this red gauge under Asura's own health which keeps filling up as he hits the boss. After it's filled you can press RT (R2) and Asura will do a wild dash at the enemy and initiate the cutscene that leads into the next stage of the fight *if he tackles the boss* , because sometimes they evade at the last moment, so you have to make sure they don't. And so on and so forth. The thing about Asura's Wrath is that for it's simplicity it's main strenghts lie in the shlockiness of it's premise and the ridiulousness of the qtes. It's pure anime cheese bullshit that looks frigging awesome. The very best part of Asura's Wrath is the DLC where Asura fights Ryu and then Akuma. I recommend checking it out.

[@GrimSoulBanisher]

I really liked the one in Until Dawn that had you slide your finger along the TouchPad to use a lighter. The TouchPad is criminally under utilized in games and is instead just the select button. So to see it used and in a way that makes sense with the action performed just made me happy.

[@wariodude128]

I would argue that the Batman Arkham games have a QTE battle system. dubbed "freeflow". You see a little blue thing above a thug's head? Counter him and continue with the ass-kicking. Also, I found that them taking out QTEs from the 2018 God of War was slightly disappointing. Then again, I understood after learning what kind of game it was.

[@yukaiyami]

I was worried “PROTECT EARTH” wouldn’t make it. Nice way to keep me in suspense, Rabbid dude.

[@20thoughts]

When you mentioned God of War, I thought you were gonna mention the end of the final boss fight in GoW3. Where the game tells you to mash the button to keep punching, and never tells you to stop. As the screen gets progressively more covered in blood until you're blind, and the button prompt is still there, and hmm, okay, what if I maybe... stop...? Oh. OH.

[@SakuraAvalon]

I've always loved the QTE battles in Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm. Especially since CyberConnect2 goes overboard with it. And by that, I mean the battle gets crazy, and absurd, completely going further than the anime in how over the top it is.

[@lost8257]

The qtes in storm 3, during the Sasuke fight at the Tenshi Bridge is fucking gold.

[@ShinDSER]

I think this is your best narrated video to date. Can't put my finger on why, but the flow of your speech is unusually smooth, even more so than usual.

[@StevenUlyssesPerhero]

Not gonna lie, when I saw the video title my first thought was "[Game that turned out to be at #1] is the only game I can think of where the QTEs actually enhanced the experience." Mostly because the QTEs throughout the game make use of its unique weapon switching mechanic, so it genuinely feels like you're still playing the game rather than feeling like when Netflix asks if you're still watching, but at least partly because getting them right will frequently cause the soundtrack to switch to that absolute banger of a main theme.

[@jmspikey]

Wonderful 101 "press A to protect earth" Ha I was right

[@RheaStorm]

I enjoy the flashy ones from Kingdom Hearts series.

[@MicMacIRL]

The end of wonderful 101 better be on this list lol.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

It is and I am amazed by happiness!)

[@yubelious5584]

My favourite QTE is from Shadows of Mordor. Being able to parry, like, 4-5 enemies at once is so satisfying, even if I know I can just move out of the way.

[@blueseclipse725]

The moment I saw the title of this video, I thought 'Wonderful 101's final QTE will be on here somewhere.' I was absolutely not disappointed. And I am quite pleased that you tried to read off the final attack name... but I think I heard Final in there twice? ^_^ Seriously, great job as always. Video suggestion: Games that need to be given sequels.

[@enlongjones2394]

Plot twist: I put my chunky leather wallet in my FRONT pocket.

[@MilaNumber14]

Kingdom Hearts 2 final boss with Riku and Sora dodging lasers has got to be one of the most memorable QTE for me. Another one that stuck with me is Infamous 2 where, spoilers, in the end where have to overload a thing by powering up your electricity by pressing L1, R1, L2 and R2 and then letting it go, I hard a hard time letting go because it would mean the death of Cole and I wasn’t ready for that.

[@Nescium]

Oh yeah the Protect Earth button mashing scene. Can confirm. That was aaaaaaaaaaaaaawesooooome

[@animefanrk2k]

This is a great list. I'm surprised that A Way Out's QTEs didn't make it, especially consider how that final scene plays out and it being a game that requires two players to play~

[@goldmemberpb]

That W101 clip alone makes me actually want to buy the game at some point just so i could actually go through that QTE myself.

[@LuffyMcDuck]

Wonderful 101's button mashing scene is the most legendary quick time event ever. I had the greatest laugh while playing a video game when I saw the characters mashing the button the same way my cousin taught me while playing Mario Party 2's button mashing games all the way back in year 2000.

[@gagejoseph91]

Welp, that thumbnail gives away a lot lol Of course Asura's Wrath is gonna be on the list. I wouldn't be surprised to see it at #2 or #1. That scene is hilarious, but half this game is excellent QTEs.

[@rogerhogh4738]

Seems I am the only person alive who enjoyed the QTEs in Resi 4. I choked on my snacks when the first cutscene came up with that local loco swinging an axe at me and my controller was too far away. Taught me a lesson. And I LOVE the QTE fight with Krauser :-)

[@TamsmitSam]

Dunno if these can be considered QTE's, but the executions in Sekiro are SOOOOO incredibly satisfying to pull off, especially on the longer boss fights

[@TiltCntrlz]

When I saw the end of RE5, I was like: "OMG A GIANT ROCK! It's a rock and it's giant!"

[@Ultradragon16]

My personal favorites were the Naruto Storm games, Storm 3 in particular. I was actually so disappointed when I watched the episode with the Samurai Bridge when I realized that the epic fight that took place in Storm 3 with Naruto flipping alongside the wall dodging a massice fireball was actually just a conversation and a single clash

[@isenokami7810]

Here’s an idea: games you can still play, but are thoroughly dead. I sadly nominate Ace Attorney Online; still a good case builder, but nobody’s gonna play your case.

[@MicMacIRL]

Holy cow it is! Mad respect

[@parzival-bo]

While I realize that it's pretty obscure so I don't know if Rabbid's actually played it, Gunvolt 2 3DS SHOULD'VE been on the list. Those who know, _know_ why.

[@CluelessAnon]

The QTE on the jet that immediately precedes Chris Redfield the Boulder Punching Wonder is also a highlight for me personally (at least in co-op). It's campy nonsense, but there's something nice about the thematic connection to partnership cooperation, and trust. Plus, while it has a similar number of inputs to the Krauser knife fight, it's spread between both players and the cutscene has a checkpoint midway through so you don't have to start ALL the way over. Yeah, the fact that a cutscene needs a checkpoint at all is kinda... weird, but if you've ever fucked up the Krauser knife fight at the very last second and had to start over, then that doesn't sound so bad.

[@MetallicD3ath]

I actually love QTEs, *usually* Now, there are bad QTEs, but a lot of the ones that people think "this is bad and immersion breaking," I'm still kind of okay with. But even I can tell that there's a certain quality to them. The boulder is ridiculous, it's not *good* but I'll allow it because it's just so hilarious.

[@davidgeorge1943]

As soon as I heard the music for #1, I knew what it was going to be: exactly what I was hoping for.

[@FinalBossu]

My favorite QTE is in Astral Chain when you use every Legion to beat the absolute crap out of the final boss.

[@Cassapphic]

Protect earth is the best thing I’ve ever seen, but also it was so nearly impossible for me to mash hard enough to meet the requirements and I was 1 failure away from dying to the little damage you take for failing that if was both insanely memorable and also a worrying accessibility concern

[@colinmunro3158]

If you're counting button mashing as QTEs then the final phase of the fight against Mashtooth in The Legendary Starfy is rather hard. It requires you to mash the A button so hard that people have worn out the A button on their Nintendo DSs from doing this boss fight one too many times.

[@scar7545]

I loved the are in the barbers in shenmue, the whole game you are told to master qtes and to suddenly get told to show no fear and ignore it was genius

[@supersonicbro]

Saw the title and i IMMEDIATELY thought of number 1. Great to see that game get more attention.

[@Zodia195]

For me, I'd either pick the final Boss fight with Xemnas in KH2 when you had to dodge all of those lasers with Sora and Riku by button mashing X and Triangle or from KH3 that epic battle using the Union Cross keyblades against that giant tornado of darkness lol. I might give the edge to KH3 because I loved that music so much and it was also an awesome way to incorporate the fandom into the game.

[@aerospherology2001]

[@Apolleh]

While I wouldn't be able to pick one specific moment, the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games have SURPRISINGLY great qtes. The qtes are ingrained into the more animated fight scenes, so you still feel involved when the more important fights actively make the fight feel more impactful outside of the standard gameplay. Plus they're MORE than fair in the timing and actively reward good reactions with a bonus scene at the end, wuth the stars required being more than plentiful. Even if you don't care about Naruto, I can still say it's worth looking up at least the. Final battle of UNS3, specifically Naruto vs Tobi, to see just how good those scenes are. The ONLY anime game I can think of that reaches that same level of quality cinematic animation would be Dragon Ball FighterZ

[@tluets]

[@pmsherndon]

[@AndresLionheart]

You are telling me that fighting a being that can make itself bigger than a planet is the FIRST boss? I've heard that Asura's Wrath is crazy, but holy heck man. Too bad it's stuck on the PS3 and 360 or I would give it a go. And that fucking ending to Shadow of Mordor... everytime I see images of it I relieve the biggest fucking disappointment I had with a game ever. Good thing I finished everything else for the platinum before "fighting" that final boss because I dropped the game so hard after witnessing that catastrophe.

[@darcybergen7508]

The knife fight with Krauser is the first thing I though about it for shitty QTE. Even a pain in the ass on the GameCube back In 2004

[@twistedhands]

Tekken 7s throw kazuya off cliff prompt deserves an honorable mention.

[@isenokami7810]

I don’t feel qualified to discuss the Krauser QTE fight. Years of hearing people $&@$& about it before I played the game myself adequately prepared me for my own go at it. That said, I honestly liked the proper boss fight you have with him later, less for the direct encounter and more for the pressure of having to work through a set of puzzles with him constantly harassing you.

[@Triforce_of_Doom]

Yeah from what I know it's mostly infamous because RE4 was the first game in the series to really use QTEs a lot, it was released right when QTEs were starting to be in what felt like everything, & that combo made a lot of first time players, especially around release day, go from "oh cool knife fight scene" to "I DIED?!"
