They don't work when they are thrown into the middle of a cutscene unexpectedly, when I've got a hand in a bag of crisps or holding a drink to my face, and almost cover my controller/console in snacks/liquid whilst I fumble for the controller.

Depends if you (the player) have the slitest chance of getting through it the first time around.

After playing God of War i think they work just fine.
Its satisfying if you get it right and as long as they're in moderation i think they're quite good.

No. Because for every Shenmue there are about 8 billion God of Wars, Fahrenheits and Resident Evil 4s. They can work when used appropriately (as opposed to shoehorned into every cutscene), branch (fail one and get an opportunity to do a different one), relate to the actual button and only use the face buttons (whenever a QTE comes up LB I'm just left scratching my head whether I need to push left on the d-pad, left analogue stick, right analogue stick, hit a clicky or use one of the shoulder buttons)

They work, they just have to bee done properly.

And I have faith that The Witcher 2 will use it right, they're only using them in boss fights
