Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Cut-scene keymash

Why is it all modern games make you mash a key or mouse button during a cut-scene? What value does it bring?

Modern games? It's been around since Dragon's Lair, the whole game was built on it. But if you want to blame one game blame Shenmue.

I think, if done right, really enchances a game. Like, needing to press a button in the middle of a cut scene and you not expecting it, especially if it affects the outcome properly.

I love how failing that QTE gives you a "You are dead" screen, hilarious.
