8 Most Stressful QTE's In Video Game History
8. Random Dog Attacks - Call Of Duty
Dogs. You've gotta love 'em.
Man's best friend truly is a loyal companion and video games have, in no short order, conveyed this bond between human and huggable best friend expertly well.
Dogmeat from Fallout and the helpful hound from Fable 2 spring to mind, but amidst all of these doting Dobermans and loveable Labs is an absolute Shitzu of a mutt that takes the form of the insta-kill QTE in the Call Of Duty Franchise.
First popping up in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, these attack dogs leap up onto the player but instead of licking your face, their intent is to tear it clean off. This, as you can imagine, creates a very stressful moment in which the player has but a fraction of a second to press the button on-screen and "OI' Yella" their way out of things.
Making matters worse is the fact that these dogs can appear in the middle of a firefight, and with all the bullets clattering around the place, you might not hear their scampering paws bearing down on you.
It never fails to be a shock when out of nowhere you're wrestled to the ground and treated like the world's biggest chew toy.
