    I think this kind of quick time event make the game too much easy, too much "console game"...
    Seriously guys: PRESS E/X TO NOT DIE!!!
    Who think 4a would do better avoiding to put this stupid mechanics on Last Light?

    I dunno. It's rather stupid, you have a point there, but it's better than nothing to be honest.

    I don't know a way to remove those whitout making them just cutscenes which is kinda boring.
    Though they could change them a bit, for example a big mutant swings at you then there you need to press the crouch button or else you will knocked away.
    Resulting in you either taking damage or get killed.

    I kinda liked them, but hey, I played it on console. :) Maybe they could remove them for PC or something, I dunno.

    i say, like in red dead redemption when your playing five finger fillet, instead of pressing x over and over again. maybe they can have it press in some random order. for example: a, b, y, x, x, y, x, a , y, b, x, b, etc.

    I found red dead's too hard and i always messed up. I would be angry if i had to reload after that, however i don't like the current one either 4a should make you do something less random like what strelok said. I felt like it lost a lot less immersed when a big picture saying "rapidly tap E" came up on my screen.

    Hi - first post - anyway

    Similar - Quick Time- tap a key in single player Battle Field 3 - badly done.

    But in Metro 2033 and Aliens vs Predator (2010) it gave you the chance to see the alien/mutant up close - in the face - not just 'machine gun it in the teeth' from 20 feet away.

    Any way in those games I first reached for the - melee - key.

    That's my input - use the 'melee' key not E or F or whatever random key.

    This

    If they keep them in then have them like this!

    Anything to make the game harder. 2033 was a breeze. :p

    Is this like 'Hold F to win'? I always laugh when I see that in a game.

    A lot of games make you hold 'F' for just about everything. Mashing it, pressing it, anything to do with the 'F' key.

    OK, are you trying to make a point or are you trying to start a thread on what we all think about QTE'S?

    And for the record, I was talking about using it to interact with the game. Picking up stuff, using levers...
