It's really not brutal. It's the breather that comes at the end of the battle.

If that part made you crazy, do not play God of War 3. I'm telling you now: run from it.

You have plenty of time to react in GoW - all of them - but if yo ucan't do it then yo ucan't d it, and God of War 3  is going to make you a sad panda.

Also twesterm stop flamebaiting it's not cool.

Actually, one of my friends told me how they do it in God of War 3 and I think I greatly prefer that to how they did in the previous games.  I actually have a pretty quick reaction time, just translating the symbol on the screen to the controller isn't so quick (and it's not like two seconds, I hit it pretty quick).

In God of War 3 I can translate region of the screen to region of the controller much quicker so when I eventually play that game I don't expect to be so angry (though I still hate QTE's).

It took me baout three hours in the original to map to my thumb's reflexes where each button is. I still hav about a fifth of a second delay, but that's more than enough time. I practiced against Cyclopes, since they had (I believe) four button sequences to kill them in the first game, totally randomized, and didn't damage you too much if you failed.

I'm actually surprised you managed to beat two games without memorizing where the freaing buttons are. If that's the level to which you learned the game's system, then your death count has to be astronomical - did you get through the combat just wailing on Square, too?

God of War II's ending was frustrating in a lot of ways, but the QTEs weren't one of them, especially in the context of the game where they weren't any harder than just killing a Cyclops.

Killing the Cyclops wasn't hard because they gave you time to react.  I'd miss them every now and then when I wasn't paying attention or just spamming square, but as long as I was paying attention I would get them.

The Zeus and Aries ones though, damn, they just give you no time and it sucks.  I've always just been bad at QTE's but I have gotten to a poitn where I can do them except those ones.  I can usually get X and triangle isn't so bad, just square and O always get me.

The QTE's that got me during the game were always the gorgon's when you reflected their gaze.  You had to be really quick on those ones too and with all the crap happening and being scared a fodder enemy is going to cheap shot you when you're stone just made me not even bother with those.

And damnit, you changed your avatar and it's not even one with a sour look!  I keep getting confused!
