Mash X: The Worst Game Input That’s Not Going Anywhere

Some games seek to extend the duration of innocuous actions that could easily be achieved with one button press by making the player rapidly mash an action button. This input has caught on like wildfire, and we’re all waiting for it to die.

Some games overuse the mashing but some use it to great affect - like metal gear, being tortured in MGS and then the death crawl at the end of MGS4 were moments where it really meant something.

Agreed i dont mind them but its dependant on context! like the MGS4 scene your talking about was perfect and made you feel you were snake struggling to go through and i thought it was a perfect use for such an input! also using levers and pushing things etc i think these actions are well represented in game by requiring the player to mash a certain button.

Quick time events etc are fine but it all depends how frequently they are used and for what!

Man i loved MGS4 i wonder if kojima will ever re-release it in native 1080p locked 60fps on PS4 and especially the xbox one since allot of xbox only gamers last gen didn't get to experience that master piece?

Indeed. Wanna know a game where it gets super annoying? Grand Theft Auto's Mash X to Run.

I knew holding off playing it for 10 years was the right call.

I remember playing this for the first time on the PS4 and it knocking me sick and hurting my eyes due to the horrible motion blur and FPS.

Played it a lot on pc a year later. Then again on ps5 once they dropped the 60fps update. I'll be giving it another go. Mad how they have kept updating this game for 10 years.

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
