It makes a lot more sense when you realize that it's so you can't just skip fights by running directly to the exit, the button-mashing QTE that's just long enough to allow any alerted enemies to knock you out of it is just a more seamless version of the doors that magically lock when you enter a room and then magically unlock when you kill everyone.

Only Platinum Games should be allowed to use QTEs, they're literally the only time I've seen them used to do things which wouldn't be better done as an automatic animation or an actual gameplay sequence

Actually I hate the QTEs in Bayonetta as well.

And whenever they make it so your character is dazed so you have to wag the stick back and forth in Revengeance, those can go gently caress themselves as well.

The QTEs they do where it just adds to the halos (or whatever currency) you get are good, though.

Okay yeah those 'waggle the stick in the middle of combat' ones can go to hell. Boss finishers are rad as gently caress though

My friend and I need a new badass coop game to play. We finished Divinity, got burnt out on FC4 and though Portal 2 is fun it makes me feel stupid sometimes and I don't like that.

What are some sick nasty coop games. Preferably $15 or under.

Oh and we're definitely gonna get Hotline Miami 2, pumped for that.

On the TV show Luigi did cross dress as a woman

Maybe I should beat Thousand Year door and Paper Mario 64? Maybe then I could finally understand why people give a gently caress about two guys who just act as vessels, vessel that are only used to complete challenges.

there's always Giuseppe, the third mario brother who was run over by a car while he was chasing after a Mario striker soccer ball, and then both Mario and Luigi had their memories erased with mushrooms so that they would forget about him.

I think he is, no redeeming qualities.

Seriously people were fawning over kirby in how he acted in his new terrible game, and they did the same poo poo with captain toad.

Yet the Mario bros. are probably the least animated.

Luigi is the best character in Thousand Year Door because his entire role in the game is to stand in town and try to one-up Mario by telling stories about the insanely over-the-top and exciting adventures he's had while Mario was off saving the world without him, stories which are definitely obviously true and not made up or embellished at all

The kicker is the events, in a nutshell, actually are true, but you get the real story from the partners that are with him each time he has a new story to tell, and almost every single one of them are with him for ulterior motives more than anything.

Nabbit was pretty good because that game was basically perfect for an adversarial player character who was actively loving others over, but him not being able to die to enemies made some levels really stupid
