Be Honest, what did you think of QTE's when you first encountered it?

The first time I encountered them was in God of War. I remember it was a the part with the two lesbos and I had to do the QTE to sleep with them. The QTE was pretty long but it was SO worth it...
I like them when they're done well. (You don't die 90% of the time. Instead, the story continues and you have to find another path).
Ok so I was playing God of War and as I finish off a boss, the first QTE I had ever seen pops up. My reaction: "Oh ok, so I just press the buttons when they appear, that seems like an interesting idea."
Of course now I think, it CAN be a good idea. But it depends on the game and how frequently they're used in that game.
Example:
God of War = good
Star Wars The Force Unleashed = bad

I love emm... I Love quick time events. And they make sence in games like god of war which are largly hack and slash. QTEs go well with games like.
All though i do agree with zero punctuation in that they should either be a core part of the game... or left out completly

god of war. I wondered if they creators thought mashing x to open a door was more immersive than just pressing X. it really bugged me because I could NEVER kill the minotaurs like that and my hand would cramp up. wait that's not really a quick time event. I didn't really mind it that much but it did bug me. I was just more concerned with the mashing.
Well, my firstever encounter with them was in God of War 1 on PS2, and as of back then, my being brand new to the whole game and all I was still not used to it and was caught VERY off guard by it, but at the same time was like "um . . . wow . . . I'm . . . I'm MAKING him do that . . . I'm MAKING him pull that thing's eye out of . . . wow"
My first reaction was:
"Awesome, cutscene time! I'm gonna go grab me a soda!"
30 seconds later I come back to a "Game Over" screen.
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!"
In game, they are a good measure of reaction time, when in a cutscene... uuuhg... No, just no.

My first encounter with them was in RE4. Technically, it was Legend of Dragoon, but seeing as I wasn't actually good enough to get anywhere in that game at the time, I call moot.
Anyway, I thought they were actually pretty well-done. The game I played after that was God of War, in which the QTEs actually helped to take me out of the experience. Go figure.
