Honestly, I'm shit at clicking right buttons at the right time, so I'm biased :)

But other than that, I don't feel like I'm needed there. My inputs doesn't change the flow of the kino that much, they are either correct or incorrect, and I'm either allowing it to continue or being a boulder stopping it from going on. GoW, another GoW, Uncharted and now TLoU for me are benchmarks of gfx and user experience possible on next gen consoles, but they aren't as interactive as old rpgs and sandboxes I am a fan of. And they are gated behind my inability to react when timings are tight. I dropped some games because it wasn't fun or wasn't fair. You can google car chases in Yakuza games – and see many people dropping the game because this sequence was unbearable.

For I don't really hate this mechanic in games, I only really enjoy it when I know it'd follow my input. As I love some heat actions in Yakuza series – after pressing Y with a weapon to start the animation, you know then you are to mash B to bash your enemy's head against the obstacle repeatedly, and that feels like an organic response to what I press.

I'm fucking drunk rn but I hope I satisfied your curiosity with that wall of text.

    Yeha, those games are kinda like a choreography, you're not totally free to do whatever you want. You're very restricted in what you can do and usually you have 1 or 2 options when you need to react.

    Based on your input, you should give Breath of the Wild a try. It's a game in which creativity is the only limit. I didn't enjoy it that much because the combat is too easy, but then I saw what people can do when they get creative. It's really insane. I completed the game playing like a noob, never expected those things to be remotely possible, because nobody tells you what to do. Nobody tells you "here's how you do this insane combo". People just piece the mechanics together. I guess that's the beauty of Nintendo in general

    Lol, that was actually pretty coherent.

    Heh, I feel like I'd only have a chanceto try BotW if it gets pirates since I don't have Nintendo consoles at hand, but it really sounds like something I'd adore.

    Offtop, but how do you see Shadow of the Colossus? For me it felt like the sweet spot between being challenging and annoying. Maybe thanks for it just being that weird you are out of your comfort zone by default.
