Quicktime events should be optional.

I've been playing Max Payne 3 and Far Cry 3 and enjoyed both well enough, however the one thing that put a dampener on my enjoyment was the ridiculous qte's while on a game pad they are annoying on kbm they are totally immersion breaking. Why isn't there an option to turn off qte's as in The Witcher 2 especially for PC versions?

Does anybody actually like qte's? I long for the days when finishing a boss fight meant I could sit back and relax my work done to the reward of a well choreographed finish ala Dante or Geralt.

Cheap ones really do my head in, on the harder difficulty the Witcher 2 has some really hard ones that just come from nowhere and stay on the screen for no time at all!

Yep but it also had a simplified quicktime option which removed them entirely iirc. I turned them off on the kayran and didn't deal with a qte for the rest of the game. I've not got it installed anymore so can't check.

Doesn't The Walking Dead have a lot of QTE? Seems the game is praised massively but quick time events puts me right off.

Certain games you accept are qte fests, Heavy Rain as mention above, Fahrenheit and The Walking Dead but the story can make it worth enduring.
