Ryse's "QTEs" are always successful, even when not pushing buttons

[Barozi]

Then don't press B for the finisher move if you don't like it.
Other games have a finisher move and don't require you to do an QTE. They should be even worse offenders.

At least in this QTE you can earn bonus XP or money for doing it correctly, even if you can't exactly fail at it.
