The QTEs in RE4 during the unskipable story sequences with Krauser, where if you died you had to start it over, were a terrible idea. Thankfully, they split that part up into two segments. The MASH A NOT TO DIE DUE TO THIS GIANT BOULDER CRUSHING YOU bits were stupid though. Button mashsing is stupid.
The QTEs in Madworld during miniboss/boss fights were fine though. They're not necessary to kill the bosses, but when you do pull them off you deal a good amount of damage and you get a nice little gory sequence.

Really? Are you sure you can say that with a straight face, especially the last QTE with the Star Destroyer?!Samman said:
***** this isn't a cut scene press X. Now talking and now anotherquicktimeevent press B. Oops u dead start the cut scene agin.
the thing is, in resi 4 they just made the cutscenes (which most games have anyway) more interesting - if you were ready for them then they were ahrd to fail anyway, you only failed if you put the controller down and trhe death scenes as a result were quite funny anyway and the game just put you back to the start of said scene
though i admit that some are awful, they're good when done right

In RE5 it took me about 8 tries to beat Wesker and Excella with all the QTE
I wouldn't mind if they didn't change which buttons to press!
I had to message the guy I was playing with; 'I'm sorry, I suck at QTE. I'm usual alright with them, I must be having a bad day today."
Thankfully, he was really sweet and didn't mind.

Yeah I always thought it was weird.Artemis923 said:
I think God of War and RE4 were the only 2 games I've played that did them right.
Everywhere else they feel clunky.
I actually kind of like them. They add some tension to cut scenes because in a quick time game that big nasty boss character might not be content to stand there and talk to you like in a game that does not feature them. They can also be used in combat as a reflex dodge opportunity. Button mash needs to be removed though; turbo buttons = I win and it's not testing my reflexes anymore it's testing the agility of my forearm.
My love for well-done quick-time events outweighs my dislike for poorly-done quick-time events. I like the added tension in my cutscenes, and so far they're the most cinematic gameplay element around (just look at Indigo Prophecy. Mmm...the first 85% of that game was awesome.)
It really depends on how they're used.
They're usually just a minor annoyance more then anything else.

i don't hate them but i also don't like them. i guess i'ts just how developers use them. I think that if they made them easier to see and made them a core part of the game. so they don't just throw them out randomly. I would like to have a better change of getting through them in the first go rather than starting an entire cutsene over again or having to start back half way through a level just to fail again.
Cinematic QTEs are annoying. I don't want to be sitting back, watching a cut scene only to have to fumble for my controller to quickly do whatever they're asking, only to not do it in time or hit a wrong button and die and have to go back to a previous save or something. If they're used in regular gameplay, it is more acceptable.
