Do Quick Time Events Work?

[Federalist92]

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.

Prince of Persia and Resi Evil 4 and 5 use em well. I thought.

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
