I guess colour coding works for people, but I you shouldn't call people noobs for any reason. Noob isn't even a word, it's a little annoying for me, isn't it suppose to be something like beginner?
what about button shapes? like the Gamecube had. whenever I saw the button on the screen I didn't even have to know if it was ABXY since you just have to look at the shape of the button and it was easy to tell where it was. I played Biohazard 4 (I like to call it Biohazard but I call it RE sometimes) on my Wii and when the QTE came, it was easy since most of the buttons on the nunchuk and wiimote are different. What about the GC and the PS2 version? I'm assuming it was easier with the GC version since it would have the buttons picture on the screen where as the PS2 version you had to know the symbols. Also I played Last Remnent on the PC so I'm not sure about the 360 version, but when you had to do the timed strikes they showed all 4 buttons (up, down, left, right). If they did that with the 360 version, that's also would be easier.
sorry, was in a hurry for this post :S
