I'm saying he can die to fireballs and Goombas and the story would work Deagonx. if Kratos got reduced to his constituent atoms the story doesn't work. There's a difference.That's not the point of the hypothetical. Even if 1-Ups didn't exist we would still know that fireballs can kill Mario. The fact that canonically he successfully avoided ever being hit by one doesn't mean we can't regard his vulnerability to fireballs as canon info.
Prove it. Give me flat proof in GoW as a verse that failed QTEs that result in game overs are canon and just alternate timelines or something like that.It is canon information for the verse.
and do those games have sequels?(That don't let you choose the ending you start from, mind you) do they have explanations for XYZ? That is the thing you're not getting Deagonx. A story is a story, what we're told is what we're told, if something deviates from that without explanation or tidbit in the sequel that lets you choose the ending, it is unusable. Plain and simple. As I said to Hasty above, I will happily stick to these guns and remove any haxes from things without canonical explanationThe same reason we use bad endings for info, too. There's no distinction between the failed QTE and a Bad Ending in a VN, etc.
See above, show me proof GoW as a verse has an explanation for failed QTEs that result in Game Overs.All games involve a variety of choices, and choices/outcomes that aren't the "canon ending" still communicate information about how the verse works.
Deagonx. if you're using failed QTEs to back something up the canonicity of them is absolutely relevant to the thread at hand.You're free to take the stance otherwise but this more or less isn't relevant to the thread. There's no reason for us to discard that information.
What I said here still stands.Does the Story move on despite the failed QTE? If the answer is yes, it is as canon as the successful QTE. If the answer is no then the successful QTE is the sole canon. God of War Ascension goes to a game over screen if you fail that QTE. The failure is not canon.
Good examples of the Story moving on despite a failed QTE is Mortal Kombat X and Injustice: Gods Among Us, you can get your characters beat the hell up by failing QTEs and the only thing that changes is that you start the next fight with some damage done to ya
