I don't care what the buttons say on them. I call them ABXY. If I wanted to play with green triangles, pink squares, purple horseshoes, and green clovers, I'd be playing with my Lucky Charms.

PS controller's not that bad, 'cuz it's just abstract shapes that I refuse to memorize, and if a game has some QTEs that flash giant triangles and circles on the screen for me to continue a cutscene I just stop playing because that's really lazy game design and not actually fun. What really gets me is the 360 controller, that takes the alphabet formula and then intentionally does it backwards to piss me off. There's really no other reason for them to do that. They took something that worked and did it backwards to piss me off.

whhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

Yeah, I'm QTE-phobic.  Hate the suckers.  Haven't enjoyed them since the Die Hard games in the arcade, or Space Ace.  Once I realized it was just an excuse to pretend I'm still playing the game while I'm watching a cutscene I hated 'em forever.  That and the penalty for missing one is losing a ton of health or instantly dying, and the reward is just... nothing happens.

And they're the reason I never finished Resident Evi: Umbrella Chronicles.  It's an on-rails light gun game.  I point at the screen and shoot zombies.  It's awesome.  Then all of a sudden, I have half a second to press A and B at the same time or instantly die?
