I gotta be honest, this isnt really a big deal, even if it is silly I dont think its THAT silly
Anyone wondering about the context of that, you can watch the mission for yourselfA day in the life of a Call of Duty character.
It's not, but CALL OF DOODY is literally Justin Bieber. You gotta hate it, even if you don't care about it.

I'm just reminded of the ending of MW3.
I play on PC with a pretty nonstandard key setup (s z x c movements, a for jump, d for crouch, etc. dates back to Quake when I was a wee falkling)
The last QTE fisticuff dukeout with Makarov was essentially a barrage of
E or Right Mouse and Space or Left Mouse
I pretty much failed a couple of times because I was laughing so hard.

If the game ended that way freeze frame Guile theme and all it would redeem the damage it did to the AC series for me....

My gosh, this thread.
Holy shit is that a Young W. Dafoe? What movie is that?
Linear "experience-driven" shooters have gotten ridiculous. In their effort to shoehorn film into video games they're trying to do things they just can't fit into their current game design or a standard game controller. The result has been an experience that's just getting less and less interactive. It's still admirable that the Call of Duty developers along with others are trying to do this without using cut scenes and still want the player to feel like they have some kind of input 100% of the time, but they need to figure out what kinds of stories they can tell with those tools.
If you look all the way back at the first Modern Warfare, it basically never (or almost never) does that kind of "press X to do this extremely complex and specific action." The game also almost never limits the player from having full range of movement. You're in control the whole time, while there's a fairly exciting story happening AROUND you, crafted into the level design. Infinity Ward and Valve got this kind of storytelling right. Everyone else get's it wrong.

Pressing buttons so stuff happens in video games, nov 2014 breaking news. You heard it here first folks!
I wonder why devs continue to keep doing QTE's in contexts where it only draws attention to the fact that it's a game.
It's like watching a film and the director shows up on screen holding a sign urging you to hold the dying lover's hand. You have no idea why the fuck it's there and it underscores the fact that everything happening on-screen is artificial.
In rare cases it actually works...when the point is to make a comment on the nature of player agency or when what happens in a cutscene actually has a tangible effect on the narrative or gameplay of the rest of the game. (IE Interrupts in Mass Effect). When it isn't doing either of those things it just ends up as a garish and half-hearted attempt to make the player care about/pay attention to what's happening onscreen.

Is more or less silly that trivializing murder in a video game pressing a button to kill people?

Worst thing about this image is that tv has way too much sharpening.
Looks alright....textures leave a bit to be desired.
Added some Xbone POP
LOL
Sad thing is, the grass actually looks 3D now that you've done that.
Looks slightly above average (for a CoD game) on PC it seems. Would be nice to at least get some even higher res textures.
